Refugee to ASX CEO: Investor, Director & founder Maria Halasz on leading a life with purpose

In today’s episode of the Influence Unlocked, I catch up with the indomitable Maria Halasz. The multilingual former ASX-listed company CEO and leading venture capitalist board director is now CEO and co-founder of Stride Equity, Australia’s first venture capital backed equity crowdfunding platform. As an 18-year old, Hungarian-born Maria abandoned her medical studies following the sudden death of her beloved brother in an accident. Adventure – and Australia, where the siblings had dreamed of visiting together – called. Maria was granted political asylum and issued a one-way ticket to Perth, Western Australia, where she eventually arrived with just $50 and big dreams in her pocket. In the decades since, her career has unapologetically chartered leadership roles in male-dominated industries like banking, finance, investment, and biotech. “If I thought something [was] important or I could make a difference,” she reflects now, “I just did it!” Through our work at the PR Hub I have personally enjoyed working with Maria for several years now and we have a few things in common too, including a passion for giving back and helping people in business – “Knock on doors. You’ll be surprised how generous people are with their time” – give it their all and maximise their chances of success.  No matter your title or where you’re at in business, if you’re looking for some career inspiration, tips for leading at the top and/or are curious about how to attract investment and mentors, you don’t want to miss this episode.  Follow Maria on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mariahalasz Explore Stride Equity: strideequity.com.au Email Sam: samantha@theprhub.com.au Follow Samatha Dybac on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/samanthadybac/ Follow the Influence Unlocked podcast on Instagram: @influenceunlockedpodcast Check out the Influence Unlocked podcast videos on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/3fq8dJ5

Misha Zelinsky: boy from the 'gong to the battlefields of Ukraine

Misha Zelinsky is a Fulbright Scholar, lawyer, war correspondent, and a leading authority on the rise of global authoritarianism. Born and raised by a single mother in the NSW coastal city of Wollongong, famed for its mining industry and surfing beaches, Misha decided to put aside a promising young legal career to pursue his passion for Labor and trade unionism, where he spent 12 years as the leader of the Australian Workers’ Union. Ultimately, it was this inherent drive to make an impact (“I want to make the biggest difference possible to the things that I care about”) that led him to Ukraine in 2022 as a war correspondent for the Australian Financial Review, following years as a regular columnist for the same news outlet writing on the future of democracy, Australian domestic policy, national security and geopolitics. He’s also the host of podcast, ‘Diplomates – A Geopolitical Chinwag’. In this episode of the Influence Unlocked, we take a very personal look into Misha’s life and some of the key decisions and turning points that have led him to where he is today. We also discuss the motivation behind becoming a published author, with Misha’s first work of fact-based fiction, The Sun Will Rise, honouring Ukraine’s fight for freedom in its ongoing conflict with Russia, released in late 2023. On taking chances in career and life, Misha is resolute. “Just jump,” he says. “It's never as scary as you think. People treat their lives as this irreversible decision-making process, but broadly speaking, most people's careers, those decisions, are not as scary as [we] build them up to be.” “The gut knows. Take the chance, you might surprise yourself!” Find him on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter): @mishazelinskyBuy The Sun Will Rise book: thesunwillrisebook.com Email Samantha: samantha@theprhub.com.au Follow Samatha Dybac on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/samanthadybac/Follow the Influence Unlocked podcast on Instagram: @influenceunlockedpodcast Check out the Influence Unlocked podcast videos on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/3fq8dJ5 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Loss, Trauma & the Gift of Life with The PR Hub founder, Samantha Dybac (Trigger Warning: this episode contains discussions about eating disorders and pregnancy loss)

*Trigger Warning: this episode contains discussions about eating disorders and pregnancy loss It’s great to be back after a little time away from the podcast and what better time that to do things a little differently with me in the hot seat! In this episode, I’m interviewed by my long-time client and more importantly dear friend, the amazing, inspiring and unstoppable, Taryn Williams, an award-winning founder, brand ambassador, board director and business advisor. In this episode Taryn asks me about some of the most defining moments in my life, those that have shaped and impacted who I am today. Surprisingly, we get quite deep and personal on some topics. Only surprising because I am not used to sharing so much about my personal journey however, I felt really comfortable sharing with you all and hope that some of the things we cover might resonate or even be useful. We also delve into the topics of entrepreneurship, personal branding and public relations, with some more practical advice for those of you who might be business owners or thought leaders in your industries looking to hear more. As nervous as I was going into the chat, I really enjoyed the opportunity to sit on the other side of the interview and share some of my story. I hope you enjoy it too - and don’t forget - I would love for you to subscribe on your favourite podcast app and leave a review, so more great people like you can listen in to the Influence Unlocked podcast. Now over to Taryn!
