I reviewed an app for a change.
The app, MusicMatch is a simple and easy to use (Apple only) app that allows you to share songs from different streaming services and play them in your preferred service.
For example – a friend can send you a song in Spotify but you can open and save it in Apple Music.

Today's TechKnowledgy show is a part two travel service hack for when you next travel overseas and more focussed on the actual flight.  

There were two main hacks:- 

1. Active Noise Cancelling Headphones – this will block out all the annoying sounds #ScreamingKids
2. Airfly Pro – a Bluetooth adaptor that connects your headset and phone wirelessly to either transmit or receive  So when flying or driving a car without Apple or Android built in or even just at a pool party this little dongle can be used.  Hopefully these hacks help you with your next overseas trip.

When someone says they are passionate about what they do, its usually from a comfortable place of full-time employment.  But there is some strong local data that suggests 80% of new small businesses set up in 2021 are from people who already have a full-time job.   Clearly, they feel so driven by their passion that they take the plunge and set up a business while still having a full-time career. And many of them are women.   

I want you to meet one of these passionate people who discovered the healing properties of an ancient ingredient of Mastiha from the Greek Island of Chios, became an importer of Mastiha and an online entrepreneur.

Today's TechKnowledgy show is all about the amazing new #Pixel devices from Google. 

I was spoilt when these arrived and after playing with the new toys for the past week odd I thought I have to share the love.  If you are considering a new phone and looking at Android then you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don't consider the new #Pixel Pro7 and #Pixel7.

Today's TechKnowledgy show is a travel service hack for when you next travel overseas and how to stay connected. 

There were three main hacks:-
1. Data sim – this will ensure that you are connected but without an actual phone number
2. Powerbank with through-charge capability – I use a Belkin Boost Charge  
3. Spare phone – good to have if something goes wrong with your phone.  I also mentioned that IOS 16.1 is now available for iPhone and iPad and is safe to update – but I wouldn’t suggest doing this when you are not at home. Hopefully these hacks help you with your next overseas trio.

This week's show we reviewed the Apollo Neuroscience wearable.  

A great device to help you destress and reprogram your body at a neurological level.  

You can find out more and get one here : https://bit.ly/ApolloAUS Ubisoft and 

Netflix Games will be working together to create 3 new exclusive mobile games – I can’t wait to play these.  

Canva is taking the office suite war to Microsoft and Google. It will be interesting to see how they fair as their design tool is super easy to use so it should make work easier to produce and prettier too.  

The Great Merge has happened and everything seems to be stable (except the price) of Ethereum post merge.

-The Jlab Open Sport Open Ear wireless earbuds. Fantastic headset with the option to add glasses clips so that they sit in the frames of your glasses and not wrapped around your ears.
-7 hours play time and multipoint connectivity.
-This headset is in my top toys for 2022 list.  

Business Tech News:
- Apple has set the date! 7th September 2022 we will get the new iPhone 14 and other cool toys (or will we?)  
- LastPass was hacked
– apparently no sensitive data was taken but as a user it does concern me. The lesson is practise a good password regime and change them at least every 6 months
- China has agreed to let the US access accounting firms in China and Hong Kong 0 this will hopefully start to repair the relationship between these two countries and go a long way to tech stocks bouncing back.
- McKinsey and Company released their, in my opinion, hugely underwhelming Tech Outlook for 2022 - Oracle, unlike its name sake, didn’t see it coming …  

Are you Game?

SME TV presents The Brew  

Don’t forget to #Subscribe 🅾 to 📺 #SMETV https://www.youtube.com/c/SMETVPodcasts to get great SME content on demand❗  

Successful businessman, professional rugby league player, male model, movie star, policeman… Sean Garlick has had one hell of a life!  Garlick stumbled across his first career field by a stroke of luck, spotting a camera crew filming in a park on his way to school as an 11 year old. He was offered the chance to audition for a Captain Crunch commercial and proved to be a natural. His acting career included starring in the 1985 Aussie classic film Fortress alongside Rachel Ward.  He then burst onto the professional Rugby League scene in 1990, representing South Sydney. At the same time as training and playing for the Rabbitohs, he also worked fulltime as a policeman. One of his most vivid memories of balancing the two careers was coming into work after a bad game on the weekend – and copping a barrage of criticism from his fellow cops! 

After a stint playing for Eastern Suburbs and then returning to Souths, he retired from rugby league in 1999.  Following his retirement, Garlick became involved in South Sydney’s management team, but wanted to explore his interests outside of the game. 

Garlo’s Pies was born soon after and has gone from strength to strength ever since. Today the business produces over 40,000 pastries per day and retails in supermarkets across Australia.  

Garlick stopped by The Brew, and while his coffee-making skills proved very average, he shared some spellbinding stories with Angela Vithoulkas. His tales included dealing with dual careers, his memories of the infamous Super League war, and how Garlo’s Pies has changed from a small business to a huge factory operation.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:  
-How Garlick was forced to grow up quickly as a 19 year old in the police force;
-The story of how Garlo’s Pies was introduced via The Footy Show;
-How Garlick almost became a jockey as a youngster – but was too big;
-Garlick’s small business journey and how he learned on the run;
-The highlights of Garlick’s rugby league career;
-How Garlick and his brother moved the business to the United States and the pressures involved;
-How the flavour of Garlo’s Pies has remained exactly the same throughout the years, despite considerable upscaling; and
-Why and how Garlick has changed his business from primarily shop-based to retailing in large supermarkets.

Graham’s 5 Tips for Consumers to Be Aware Of.  

00:00 Intro
00:34. Tip 1: You need a choice of repairers
00:40  It’s your car, it needs to be your choice of who works on it
01:02  Tip 2: Find the right repairer for your make of vehicle
01:25  Find an expert who deals with your car so they know what they’re doing
01:37  Tip 3: Get evidence of the accident with lots of photos and video
01:47  Avoid scams, if there doesn’t look like much damage take twice as many photos
02:19  Tip 4: Get the Assessed Quote and carefully review it
02:28  A repairer might quote for new parts, the Assessor might say simply to repair or use after market parts
03:24  The Insurer has a legal responsibility to give your the Assessed Quote
03:45  Tip 5: If in doubt, get an independent opinion
04:22  If there is something wrong with the repair or process let the regulator know

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, or so the saying goes. These words are more than applicable when it comes to the awe-inspiring Alison Covington, the CEO & founder of Good360 Australia.  Alison Covington was a high-flying corporate director. 

She had it all: a great job, a beautiful family and blissful financial security. And then a severe illness came and turned her life on its head.  Alison’s career as the Managing Director of a major company buying buses across Sydney came to a screeching halt when she began experiencing blurred vision and a loss of senses. After many neurologist visits and an insurmountable amount of pain, she was diagnosed with Cerebral Vasculitis. Treatment involved chemotherapy and other hard-core medications that entailed negative side effects. Not only was she unable to work, she could barely communicate or hold her young children.  

But such is her character, she fought back from the brink of death to reclaim her life. The journey back to health from such a debilitating illness is not without daily mountains to climb, and for Alison it took “5 years of fighting to be me again”.  Believing that there “must have been a reason that she survived” her illness, she decided not to return to the corporate world, instead choosing to focus on helping others and leaving a legacy.  An email newsletter from the charitable organisation Good360 USA sparked the thought that there was no organisation in Australia facilitating the provision of goods via charities in the same way. Armed with her past corporate experience of dealing with international contracts and franchises, she realised she had the perfect “box of skills” to start Good360 Australia.  

Her target to distribute $1 billion worth of goods to Australians in need is setting the bar high, but if Alison’s past history of overcoming challenges is anything to go by, there is no doubt that she will exceed that target before too long.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:  
-Alison’s incredible story of conquering Cerebal Vasculitis against the odds;
-The daily challenges of family life with a serious illness; -How Good360 is changing the lives of Australians in need;
-How Alison balances her new career and her growing children;
-The challenges Good360 is facing with rapid growth; and
-The other businesses Alison is involved with.

As of 31 December 2020, there were over 6 million registered motor vehicles in NSW.

Its safety right?  
Are you and your loved ones OK?  
You don’t think that the safety issue might come up later after your vehicle is repaired…Why would you?   

You trust that your repairer will do what your paid Insurance Policy is meant to take care of. Sadly it’s a lot more complicated than that.     

In this episode we drill down to what’s really happening with car insurers, recommended repairers and the policies with Graham Judge, director of Collision Safety Consultants. Graham helps consumers who have a problem with a repair or purchase of a vehicle.  

00:00 Intro
01:04 Do you read the insurance PDS?
02:17 The NSW govt has a website that gives you 5 CTP insurance options
02:43 The online tool for comparing comprehensive car insurance options is owned by an insurance company with its own algorithms
03:57 Be sure you can choose your own vehicle repairer  
04:15 Recommended repairers will repair cars for the insurers for less than the non-recommended repairs 04:51 Do you want a repairer to repair to a price for work on your car?
05:54 The repairers don’t want to argue with the insurance companies so they get Graham in to help the customer
06:58 Cars are getting more complex
07:38 In the last 3 years Graham has found 82 vehicles that have been repaired need to actually go on the written-off register
8:19 Want an example? When a radar unit is not repaired it can cause horrendous accidents
08:51 The Motor Car Repair Industry regulator is NSW Fair Trading
09:28 They started in 1980 with 50 inspectors and now have 6 motor vehicle inspectors across the entire state of NSW for more than 600 million vehicles
10:16 Can a repairer be expected to be across 70 different brands of cars with their makes and models without additional training?
11:22 Almost all industries that require a qualification also require continuous professional development but not this one
11:58 Insurers are now under the Corporations Act so they HAVE to act honestly, fairly and efficiently so you’re entitled to ask questions and be answered
12:50 What do you expect from your car insurance policy?

In her long-standing tenure as Leader of the Opposition, Kerry Chikarovski became one of Australia’s most admired politicians.  Affectionately known to the public as ‘Chika’, Kerry was just 13 when she decided that she wanted to become a politician. Growing up in the U.S during an intensely political time, a chance meeting with Senator Bobby Kennedy inspired her to head into the profession. Her father was also involved in local government and the Liberal party.  

After studying law at university, Kerry practised as a lawyer briefly. She then married and had a child, opening a small private practice to make ends meet and pushing her dream of being a politician further on the backburner. Realising her true passion was passing her by, she soon redirected her focus and in 1991 won pre-selection for the Liberal seat of Lane Cove. A steady rise through the Liberal ranks occurred, and in 1998 she was elected as leader of the party.  

Since retiring from politics in 2003, Kerry has undertaken a variety of challenges. She is currently a political commentator, lobbyist and chairperson of NSW Women’s Rugby. Kerry was also the second-ever woman appointed to the board of NSW Rugby Union, and is a proud ambassador for The Australian Indigenous Education Foundation and the Australian Cancer Research Foundation.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:  
-What the world of politics is really like;
-How Kerry coped after losing her post as Leader of the Opposition;
-Kerry’s personal political philosophies in regards to small businesses;
-Why Kerry doesn’t fear failure; How Kerry’s family life suffered as she tried to balance it with her fulltime political commitments;
-Why Kerry believes politics is nastier now than it was in her day;
-and How Kerry’s perspective has changed since leaving politics.

In 1994, at the age of 23, Steve put his life savings of $11,000 on the line to launch his first start-up SE Net which was eventually acquired by Ozemail/UUNet under the stewardship of its founding Director and now Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.  

In 2001, Steve teamed up with a schoolmate to launch his second start-up, PIPE Networks, a provider of wholesale telecoms infrastructure that was listed on the ASX in 2005. Eight years later they sold it to the TPG Group for $373 million.  Steve spent a year working with Google in California in 2008, leading a project to deliver high-speed telecommunications systems across North America.  

These days Steve holds a highly acclaimed seat on Channel 10’s start-up investment show, Shark Tank Australia, as he continues to scour the globe for major early-stage investment opportunities.

This time I’m joined with Ariel Garten —Co-founder of Muse  

Thingz with a Z:  
Brett’s personal struggle: SLEEP and this week he tries a new toy!  
-Using advanced EEG technology to respond to your mind, heart, and breath, Muse is a comfy brain-sensing headband that helps you understand & track how well you focus, sleep and recharge so you can refocus during the day and recover each night.
-Ariel shares to us what made her decide to invent this product:  "Muse helps you meditate and sleep. The device gives you real-time feedback on your brain and body’s activity during meditation. Plus, it gives you amazing interventions to help you fall asleep."  
-It’s a 24-hour cycle to help you meditate, gain calm, reduce stress, and focus in the day. And at night, it helps you have a quality sleep so you’ll feel refreshed in the morning!
-Has a seamless UX in using the app too!  
-What about Muse S ? A digital sleeping pill we all need right now!  

Game Quizz Round: Does Brett meditate?
He tried but it didn’t work. Not this time, though!  He started meditating with Rainforest. And boy, did his mind quiet down! His mind switched off.   
Questions:
1. Will Muse help me with focusing at work?
2.  Is meditating the same as focusing at work?
3.  Muse 2 or Muse S?  
BONUS QUESTION: Which side does Brett sleep on?
Is it the left or the right?

More than 2,000 businesses have been crippled by the disastrous State Government's CBD 'Lightrail Project' which was meant to take months but took years.   Listen to me talk on 2GB Drive with Jim Wilson about what happened, the progress of our class action law suit against Transport NSW, why I've been in politics ever since and am running for Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney.  

Don't let local and state government ruin our local businesses again! 

Protection of your interests starts with representation in government.
