Welcome back to One Grate Conversation. Our guest for this episode is Luke Cummins of Rogue Institute.

Luke comes from a wealth of experience, from plumbing to retail, project management, combat engineer at the Australian Army and now the director at Rogue Institute, which specializes in resilience, self-awareness and leadership coaching.

Also, we are guessing you're probably thinking, getting high at work, what the $%*!? To understand exactly what Rogue's mission is, you'd better listen in to understand exactly what this means, and it's definitely not what you expect.

We continue to host a variety of guests from different backgrounds and fields, to highlight how we are more connected than we realise, along with how transferrable our tools, skills and findings are despite what we might think.

Welcome back to One Grate Conversation. Back in September 2023 we caught up with Dinesh Palipana OAM here in the studio and spoke about such important topics, the standout for us was "seeing problems as opportunities."

Growing up in Sri Lanka where the opportunities were slim and he was exposed to war, violence and suffering from an early age he was able to harness these events that he experienced as a way of focusing on things that were in his control and that in and of itself is truly inspirational. To then have a car accident so devastating and life changing and come back from that stronger and more determined than ever, well that's just next level.

Dinesh Palipana OAM is an Australian doctor, lawyer, scientist and disability advocate. He is the first quadriplegic medical intern in Queensland, Australia. He is the second person with quadriplegia to graduate as a doctor in Australia and the first with spinal cord injury. As a result of his injury and experiences, Dinesh has been an advocate for inclusion. He is a founding member of Doctors with Disabilities Australia.

There are so many key takeaways in this episode as well as a story of sheer heart, determination and gratitude that we are sure everyone will benefit from listening to.

Lauxes Grates CEO Tim Dawson sits down with Gold Coast Titans CEO Steve Mitchell talking all things 2024 for each of their businesses.

It was an energising and inspiring conversation, where vision and values align despite the vastly different backgrounds in business. We're all a lot more connected than we think.

As always, we hope you enjoy this one 'grate' conversation and drop us a line in the comments with any thoughts, questions or what you'd like to see or hear next on the podcast episode.

Welcome back to One Grate Conversation.

Recently on the show we had Sian from Third Eye Energy and Sound Healing join us to share her wisdom and insights on achieving wellness in life and at work.

Sian's alternative modalities aid in achieving overall wellness and a sense of being whole and complete - something we are striving toward here at One Grate Conversation and Lauxes Grates.

We were thrilled that Sian was going to come onto the podcast and share her insights exploring all sorts of different tools for individual and collective higher vibration.

The best part is that she shows how simple it is to weave these practices into our everyday, busy lives - it's not just for the Tibetan Monk on a cliff face striving for complete sensory deprivation. It's for people just like you and me.

Sian was even so kind to bring her Koshi Chimes and give us a live demonstration and it really highlighted the power of sound for me.

Tune in for real stories, real insights and tools to use yourself and see how you feel after practicing them. We guarantee it can only bring 'grate' results.

Welcome back to One Grate Conversation.

A little while ago I had the opportunity to speak with Kane Thompson who is a business owner, starting his company in the uniform industry from a very young age. Years later, life experiences, a business coach, with a clear focus on his goals for the business and his overall purpose has him cement his success in the company that is now called Reali Supply.

It was a heartwarming story of determination, resilience when it seemed like there was no way out, and staying true to your purpose and company pillars through everything that shows up along the journey of business ownership.

It was so much fun and I hope you have some key takeaways that you can implement after listening to this episode with Kane.

Thank you for listening.

Welcome back to One Grate Conversation.

Recently I spoke with Annelies Nijskens from Madocke Beer Brewing Company here on the Gold Coast, Australia. Her business journey hasn't been a straight forward one which I think makes for an interesting and inspiring conversation of determination and resilience to achieve great things.

From changing industries completely and migrating to Australia from Belgium with the family, having no contacts, not knowing the market, and English as a second language, to then starting a business from her garage and the challenges that posed, to then have the covid pandemic knocking on the front door and navigating the whirlwind that was to follow, I am sure you will be inspired by what she has to share.

And I definitely have profound respect and understanding for her plight as I had my own journey as a small child relocating countries from Bosnia with my parents to Australia and saw the very real challenges they faced to find their feet again once landing on Australian soil.

Thank you for listening.
