Went to Boracay, Sat Down with Five World-Class Minds

Five conversations with world class speakers, one massive TOACon. Aly and Andrew recorded this one, beachside in Boracay. A change strategist, a survivor turned author, an innovation expert, a peak performance coach, and a behavioural scientist walk into a bar and .... unpack what actually moves the needle in work and life.We kick off with Dom Thurbon, who serves a spicy reminder that while everyone claims honesty is a value, most of us dodge it the second our image feels at risk. He unpacks why intent isn’t enough, how social media rewards the wrong stuff, and what leaders can do to build psychological safety so their teams actually tell the truth.Then Emma Carey takes us from skydiving accident to the New York City Marathon, reframing resilience as the simple act of taking the next step. Her gratitude practice, recovery journey, and quiet determination will have you rethinking what strength really looks like.Innovation gets real with James O’Loghlin, who calls out the busywork trap and hands over a structure anyone can use: daily thinking time, a one idea a month KPI, and the underrated superpower of owners calling customers themselves with curiosity rather than ego.Next, Ollie Bridge reminds us we’re all corporate athletes, sharing the three legged stool of performance—training, recovery, nutrition. Expect practical habits like exercise snacks, sleep hygiene as a warm up, and nutrition without the guilt trip.We wrap with Dr Shardé’s model for big trust, grounded in self acceptance, agency, autonomy, and adaptability. She explains why confidence follows action, not the other way around, and how to anchor yourself in what you can influence while riding the emotional waves that come with doing hard things.If you’re a leader, founder, or curious human craving better conversations, smarter experiments, deeper sleep, and sturdier self belief, this episode is your island-born permission slip. Share it with the mate who needs a nudge, and tell us the moment that landed!FOLLOW US ON THE SOCIALSwww.accountingadventures.com.auAccounting Adventures (@accadvpodcast) | InstagramAccounting Adventures | FacebookAccounting Adventures | LinkedInAly & Andrews All Aussie Accounting Adventures (@accadvpodcast) | X Email: [email protected] US OUTALL IN Advisory | Your squad of award-winning accountants, tax wizards, and business visionaries, perfectly tailored to elevate your biz.
