#24. Some Of The Best Gifts In Life Come Poorly Wrapped - Tom Panos

Tom Panos is a renowned Australian real estate Auctioneer, Coach, Speaker and Industry commentator. He has become a prominent figure in the real estate industry, known for his expertise in sales, marketing, and personal development.
 
He’s known for regular appearances on various media outlets over the years and has in recent years appeared on Channel 9’s series, The Block, representing the winning teams as their chosen Auctioneer.
 
Although he’s shared parts of his story to those who follow him or have interacted with him, I haven’t heard his story and his deep reflections as raw and as impactful as I did recording this episode. In 2006….he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, he beat it and he’s beat another 2 diagnoses since then.
 
If you’re looking for an episode to up your sales skills and be a better real estate agent….this is not it. But if you’re wanting some perspective….to maybe change the direction you’re heading in and start living a life you don’t need to escape from…then in my opinion, you won’t find a better one that this.

#23. Soldier to Civilian: Finding His Passion, Purpose & Identity - Heston Russell

Heston Russell is a retired Special Forces Major and decorated combat Veteran who has dedicated his life to serving his country and the wider Veteran community. He joined the Australian Army at the age of 17 as a fifth generation Army Veteran following in the footsteps of his father Mark who served for over twenty years in the Australian Army. While at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Heston completed a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New South Wales majoring in History & Indonesian.
 
After 16 years of serving in the military - where he lead elite, high performance teams and completed over 100 combat missions with the Special Forces - he found his true purpose defending and protecting those who were innocent. And taking the fight to those who were not. 
 
Transitioning back to civilian life was challenging to say the least. In August 2020, feeling irrelevant and isolated, he almost gave up on life. In that harrowing moment, he realised the person truly holding him back was himself.
 
Since then, he's been on a mission to use his experience as a leader and his love for his country to solve real world problems and empower people to achieve their full potential. 
 
In this episode, Heston shares his reflections, thoughts and views on military life, on transitioning back into civilian life and what he's learnt through the rollercoaster journey.
