1337: Retire at 50? The Truth About Business Success and Happiness with Local and Micro Business Growth Champion Dennis Hall
It’s easy to blame outside forces when progress stalls, but sometimes the real slowdown happens inside our own heads. Constant second-guessing, perfectionism, and chasing too many ideas at once can quietly kill momentum. Business starts to feel like a loop—busy days with little real progress, and a creeping sense that something’s off. Often, the problem isn’t the plan or the tools—it’s the noise we create for ourselves that keeps us from moving forward.
Dennis Hall is an Australian entrepreneur, business growth champion, and author specializing in supporting micro businesses. He has written a book titled "If 70 is the New 50? When Do I Get to Retire?" and runs business expos throughout Southeast Queensland. He brings real-world experience to the table, helping small business owners stop working in their business and start building one that supports their life. Today, he unpacks how strong networks fuel growth, especially for micro businesses often operating in isolation. He highlights how fear stalls progress and why clear strategies and accountability are non-negotiable. Stay tuned!

1335: Empowering Women’s Sexual Health Through PRP Therapy: The Science Behind O-Shot and Platelet Rich Plasma Explained with Medical Director Dr. Charles Runels
There’s definitely a gap in how seriously women’s sexual health is taken compared to men’s. For many, these issues aren’t just physical—they hit self-esteem, relationships, and emotional well-being. But when they finally do speak up, they’re often brushed off or handed solutions that barely scratch the surface. It’s frustrating, especially knowing that real science exists—just rarely applied with women in mind. There’s a growing sense that things need to change, not just in treatment but in the way the entire conversation is handled.
Dr. Charles Runels, best known for inventing the O-Shot and Vampire Facial, is transforming how we approach sexual wellness and aesthetic medicine. Today, he talks about the science behind the O-Shot—a PRP-based treatment helping women with low libido, sexual dysfunction, and other intimate health concerns.

It’s wild how much information businesses collect, only to let it sit there gathering digital dust. Reports, feedback, emails—tons of it just float around, never really touched or understood.

1332: 10-Minute Mindfulness: Quiet Your Mind, Boost Your Productivity with Keynote Speaker and Best-Selling Author Tara Nylese
Modern work culture rewards busyness, but often at the cost of clarity and peace of mind. Trying to juggle everything—Slack pings, emails, meetings, personal errands—can leave you feeling like you’re always behind, even when you’re technically getting things done. That constant pressure eats away at focus, making deep work feel impossible and quiet moments feel like a luxury. Multitasking promises efficiency, but more often it just blurs the line between being productive and being burnt out. Over time, it becomes hard to remember what it’s like to move through a day without feeling pulled in every direction.
Tara Nylese blends science and mindfulness to help people reclaim focus in a distracted world. Once a corporate leader under constant pressure, she now teaches practical methods to reduce stress and improve clarity. Her 10 Minute Mindfulness program shows that a few intentional moments a day can make a real difference. Today, she shares how simple breathing and awareness techniques can boost productivity and mental health at work. For her, you don’t need hours—just a few focused minutes to reset and refocus.
