   Living With COPD: The Silent Disease Nobody Talks About | Sheryl Jones

   In this deeply moving episode of Biz Bites For Thought Leaders, Anthony Perl sits down with Sheryl Jones, a woman who has turned a frightening diagnosis into a powerful mission of awareness and hope. Sheryl was diagnosed with emphysema, a form of COPD, and told she might have only 7 to 10 years to live. That prognosis could have defined her. Instead, she reached out to the Lung Foundation, learned to live mindfully, and discovered she could live well into her 90s and beyond. Now she is determined to help others walking the same path. This is a different kind of thought leadership conversation. It is about leading with ideas, sharing lived experience, and creating awareness about a silent disease that affects 1 in 13 Australians over 40. Sheryl explains what COPD really feels like, why so many people go undiagnosed, the loneliness of living with an invisible illness, and her dream of launching her own podcast and running retreats for people living with lung disease. Whether you live with a chronic condition, care for someone who does, or simply want to understand what real resilience looks like, this conversation will stay with you. -- SHERYL JONES BIO: Sheryl Jones is a COPD awareness advocate living in South Gippsland, Victoria. Born in Cardiff, Wales, she emigrated to Australia at 13 and has since travelled the country extensively, worked as a trainer, and spoken internationally on education, including an address to a committee in the House of Lords. Diagnosed with emphysema in 2014, Sheryl has become a passionate voice for people living with chronic lung disease. She works closely with the Lung Foundation Australia, has spoken at symposiums and to politicians in Canberra about the realities of living with COPD, and is now working towards launching her own podcast to create awareness and build a supportive community for others living with the condition. CONNECT WITH SHERYL JONES: Contact details available in the show notes. To support Sheryl's mission or discuss sponsorship of her upcoming podcast, please reach out through the show. LUNG FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA: If you or someone you know has a persistent cough, is often short of breath, or you hear them "sawing wood," please reach out to the Lung Foundation Australia. They offer a free risk-checklist questionnaire and access to nurses who can provide information and support.

   How Accounting Firms Can Grow Through Marketing Partnerships and Position Themselves as Thought Leaders | Talila Kroy & Charles Clark

   Talila Kroy is the co-founder of Emple, a company that builds sales engines for professional services businesses, helping them with client acquisition in a seamless, systematic way. Through this work, Talila discovered how critical partnerships are for her clients, which led to the creation of Partner Suitcase and Partner, tools that help businesses formalise their informal referral networks into intentional marketing partnerships. Before Emple, Talila ran the Tropical North Queensland events calendar, which she grew through partnerships with councils and media, making partnerships a core part of her career for decades. Charles Clark is the co-founder of BOMA, a marketing platform built specifically for accounting firms to help them grow their business and communicate with clients. Founded 10 years ago, BOMA provides expert content written by chartered accountants and financial journalists, along with the process and technology to deliver consistent marketing communications. Before BOMA, Charles worked in advertising agencies in New Zealand and the UK, and consulted for technology firms in the US and UK. Together, Talila and Charles are presenting a free webinar on 7 July at 12 noon AEST / 2pm NZST, walking through the practical steps accountants can take to launch their first marketing partnership. In this conversation, they unpack why the old model of relying on word of mouth is no longer enough, how marketing partnerships offer the cheapest way to expand your reach, and why trust transfer is the most powerful growth mechanism available to professional services firms. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: Why 69% of small businesses in Australia choose their accountant through word of mouth or referral, and how to systematise that Why accounting firms spend only 1% of revenue on marketing versus a 7-10% benchmark for other professional services How firms that double their marketing spend grow up to seven times faster than those that do not The difference between networking and partnerships, and why most accountants mistake one for the other How marketing partnerships create a triple win: a win for clients, a win for both partner businesses Why perfectionism gets in the way of marketing action for accountants, and why speed often matters more than polish How to turn informal referral relationships into intentional marketing partnerships with a system and structure Why trust transfers between partners, making partnership marketing the most credible form of marketing How BOMA gives accounting firms expert content, process, and technology in one platform How Partner Suitcase and mPartner help businesses formalise their partnership networks Why consistency in marketing communication is the key to retaining and upselling existing clients How a podcast or webinar asset from a partnership can be reused as a touch point that accelerates conversions The upcoming webinar on 7 July and what accountants will learn about launching their first marketing partnership TALILA KROY BIO: Talila Kroy is the co-founder of Emple, which builds sales engines for professional services businesses, helping them with systematic client acquisition. She is also the creator of Partner Suitcase and mPartner, tools designed to help businesses formalise their informal referral networks into intentional marketing partnerships.

   If I Can Do It, You Can Do It ft. Patrick Engasser | Biz Bites for Thought Leaders Promo Package

   What if your greatest challenge was actually your competitive advantage? Patrick Engasser, bestselling author of "If I Can Do It, You Can Do It," was born completely blind in Buffalo, New York. He went on to become a top account closer in Fortune 500 insurance sales, a district manager for ten years, and then built his own seven-figure coaching and speaking business. In this conversation, Patrick shares how being blind forced him to develop creative problem-solving from childhood, why writing a book packages your authority in a way nothing else can, and the mindset shift every entrepreneur needs to make before strategy will work. He explains his core genius principle - focus on the 10-20% that powers your engine and delegate the rest - and why the biggest thing holding you back is not a lack of knowledge but a lack of action. As his coach James Malinchak says, "My ugly book is better than the one you don't have." Download the free workbook from the show notes to identify your core genius and build your action plan. About Patrick Engasser: Patrick Engasser is a bestselling author, business coach, motivational speaker, and sales trainer based in Buffalo, New York. Born completely blind, Patrick spent 15 years in the insurance industry - the last 10 as a district manager - before launching his own coaching and speaking business five years ago. He is a three-time Top Award recipient for Management Excellence and built significant seven-figure sales teams. His book "If I Can Do It, You Can Do It" provides 20 practical tips for overcoming adversity and taking action.

[…] Yes, there's no doubt about it. Look, I understand young people who finish training or university, they're graduates. They do have a lot of knowledge. There's no doubt about that, and knowledge is very useful. Knowledge is not power. Shared knowledge is power. But experience is required as well. […]
