In today's show, Kevin Bees interviews Shaun Kenny, Director of 'People of Influence'.
 
Shaun is one of Asia Pacific’s most in-demand speakers and educators, having delivered 1,000+ sessions to 150,000+ people for over a decade with some of the world’s great companies.
 
In his role as mentor and advisor, Shaun has an up close and personal perspective of the challenges executives and leaders are grappling with in this rapidly changing world of work.
 
An economist by training, Shaun translates the latest insights of behavioural economics and neuroeconomics into practical tools that professionals can use for immediate impact. Shaun has also used his deep expertise in design thinking to help blue-chip clients embed cultures of empathy-driven innovation.
 
Previously in management consulting, he holds a Bachelor of Economics degree and a Masters of International Business, both from Sydney University. He also graduated from acting school after three and a half amazing years, which is something he rarely mentions though it informs every interaction he has with an audience.
 
Outside of work, Shaun is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two and is a keen (yet vertically challenged) basketball player.
 
In today's episode, Shaun shares:
  • How he positively impacts change in organizations using experiential learning and behavioral simulation
  • What is the 'Ikea Effect' and how to use it in your business to get better client results?
  • His life-changing question: "What in your life do you do for its own sake?"
  • Why internal motivation is the most powerful force to tap into to create positive results in your life and business.
  • How to create a 'process' that you can fall in love with, that will create happiness, and by default deliver success.
  • What is the little-known "get a dog strategy" and why it is a game changer!
  • Why getting his 'positive thinking' book stolen really changed his perspective for the better.
  • and much more.

Today, Kevin Bees talks with Martin & Melissa - founders and owners of Bondi Chai.
 
Melissa Edyvean and her partner, Martin Buggy, discovered chai latte while visiting New York Time Square for the new millennium celebrations.

Chai latte is a Western take on India’s centuries-old ‘national drink’ chai masala and was

completely unknown in Australia at the time, but Martin & Melissa were convinced that chai latte would eventually be huge in Australia and set about creating their own, unique pre-mix.

 

After an inauspicious start – selling just 17kg in their first month – Melissa today sells

around 6 tonnes of product a month and someone, somewhere in the world, enjoys a

Bondi Chai Latte every two seconds.

 

Bondi Chai has become the most awarded product of its kind in Australia, picking up awards from Telstra, and even a Stevie award.

 

And Martin and Melissa have created an ideal lifestyle, working from their home office in Port Stephens (or wherever in the world they can get internet), with a handful of team members they generate multiple millions per year in revenue, and look set to expand rapidly with significant interest in the Chinese market.

 
In this episode Martin & Melissa share:
  • The power of being 'ambitiously lazy', which enabled them to create an innovative outsourced delivery model for Bondi Chai
  • How they have successfully grown their business internationally
  • Tips on being life partners and business partners - and how to navigate this and still remain happily together.
  • The importance of keeping an external sounding board/coach on your team as you grow your business.
  • The benefits of being around other business owners, attending regular training, and continuous growth through reading.
  • Their life-changing question - what more is there to life than this?
  • An exciting charitable adventure they are embarking on to ride 500km across Thailand to raise funds for Hands Across The Water
  • And much more
