It's a Mindset

• Episode 67 - How to Manifest Success: The Mindset That Built a $57 Million Life with Hilton Misso

  Have you ever wondered what truly creates extraordinary success - the kind that grows businesses, builds communities, and leaves a legacy? This episode goes straight to the heart of that question. I had the joy of sitting down with Hilton Misso, founder of the Think2Be Group, entrepreneur, lawyer, philanthropist, and a man who has spent almost 80 years studying, practising, and living the principles of mindset, mindfulness, and meaningful success. From leading Trilby Misso to a record-breaking $57 million sale, to building Sesame Lane Early Learning Centres into thriving hubs of connection and care, Hilton’s story is less about business… and more about who you choose to be. This podcast is called It’s a Mindset for a reason - and Hilton embodies that truth. The number of times he referenced mindfulness, conviction, awareness, and intention was deeply inspiring. As a coach who helps women uncover their values and purpose, I found myself nodding along every five minutes. Hilton’s success methodology mirrors so much of what I teach - that success begins within, long before it becomes visible. Hilton’s new book, How to Manifest Success, distils more than six decades of leadership, business and personal development into 50 proven lessons for turning ambition into achievement. Part memoir and part masterclass, this book reveals how to: turn big ideas into tangible results rewire your mindset and eliminate self-doubt build sustainable, long-term wealth spot and act on rare opportunities use adversity as fuel for reinvention align your thinking, actions and energy for lasting success It’s a powerful companion for anyone who loves mindset, manifestation and purposeful living. Key Episode Takeaways: Mindfulness as a success foundation - presence drives clarity and better decisions. Credibility, authenticity & awareness - the traits Hilton believes matter most. Conviction creates reality - the Think2Be philosophy: you must think it before you become it. The compounding power of wealth - long-term, intentional choices create freedom.

• Episode 66 - Red Brick Thinking: Why Doing Less Might Be the Smartest Thing You Ever Do with Donna McGeorge

  Have you ever felt like the solution to your overwhelm was to add something new - another tool, routine, or to-do - only to end up feeling even more drained? What if the secret wasn’t doing more… but doing less? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Donna McGeorge, a sought-after international speaker, coach, and bestselling author of 15 books including The 25-Minute Meeting, The First 2 Hours, 1 Day Refund, ChatGPT Revolution and her latest, Red Brick Thinking. Donna’s work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, and across national TV, and she’s known for her no-fluff, high-energy approach that cuts through the noise to create meaningful, lasting change. We dive deep into the concept of Red Brick Thinking - the art of strategic subtraction. It’s about stripping away the unnecessary layers of busyness so you can create space, focus, and move forward with clarity. The idea of emotional red bricks really resonated with me; because often, the things that weigh us down aren’t on our calendar, they’re in our hearts and minds. Letting go of those “bricks” creates space not just for productivity, but for peace. Key Episode Takeaways: The Red Brick Strategy is about strategic subtraction - doing less, but better. Creating space and capacity allows you to give energy to what’s truly important. Sleep, movement, and nutrition are the non-negotiable foundations for focus and flow. The power of the “enough” movement - knowing when you’ve done enough, have enough, and are enough. How tools like ChatGPT can help you reclaim your time by automating the busywork and freeing you up for creative, meaningful tasks. About the Guest: From boardrooms to auditoriums, Donna McGeorge sparks practical change that lasts. A sought-after international speaker, and bestselling author of 15 books, including The 25 Minute Meeting, First 2 Hours, 1 Day Refund, ChatGPT Revolution and her latest, Red Brick Thinking - Donna helps leaders and teams to cut through noise, creating space and capacity for what’s most important in their lives.

• Episode 64 - It’s Not You, It’s Perimenopause with Sarah Gray

  Have you ever wondered why your body suddenly feels different - your energy dips, sleep changes, or the scales seem stuck - and you’re thinking, “What’s going on?” It’s not you. It’s perimenopause. This week, I’m joined by Sarah Gray, one of Australia’s leading dual-qualified health professionals in pharmacy and nutrition, and a certified menopause practitioner with over 25 years of experience. Sarah brings science-backed, holistic wisdom to a topic that affects every woman; yet is still so misunderstood. Through her work and her new book, It’s Not You, It’s Perimenopause, she’s helping women make sense of their symptoms, take control of their wellbeing, and feel empowered through this transition. Having navigated perimenopause myself, I can honestly say; it would have been wonderful to have Sarah’s book and guidance back then. Her calm, evidence-based approach makes this complex stage of life feel far less confusing and far more hopeful. Key Episode Takeaways: Tailoring your health to your unique needs is key; there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to perimenopause. Many women come to Sarah wanting to lose weight, but the real issue is often navigating hormonal shifts, not calories. One surprising benefit of this stage? Confidence - knowing who you are and what truly matters. It’s about understanding what supports you - good nutrition, movement, community - and what you can let go of for greater harmony. About the Guest: Sarah Gray is one of Australia’s leading dual-qualified health professionals in pharmacy and nutrition, and a certified menopause practitioner with over 25 years of experience in the health and wellness industry. Her holistic approach focuses on supplements and science-based solutions for perimenopause and menopause.

  Have you ever dreamed of building a life that lets you live, work, and travel anywhere in the world - without giving up financial stability or family time? This week on It’s a Mindset, I’m joined by Julie Talbot, a UK property investor, strategist, and freedom seeker who’s redefining success by putting time and location freedom first.
