Manu Gupta comes across as a normal person like you and me. Professional, confident and with soft demeanour. But behind that soft exterior lies a 'Rock Solid' will and a steel core developed with hard work and commitment built over the last two decades. No wonder he is a marathon runner and not a sprinter.

When Manu first landed in Perth around 22 years back, he neither had backing of rich parents nor he had any misconception that road ahead is going to be a an easy one. What he had was a solid will to whatever it takes and deep sense of inquisitiveness of exploring his future far away from the comfort of his home zone.

Thus started the big career expedition. Initially trying to save money, Manu landed in a friends apartment, sharing the rent and splitting the bills was norm of the day. Little did he realise that his ingrained principles of hard-work and never say die attitude is going to take him to new heights. I spoke to him about his interesting journey of finding himself and a rewarding career and what we all can learn from his successful journey. Lets listen to him and get inspired.

He came, he saw and he continues conquering, meet Clinton Shroeder. Clinton is a Tech Entrepreneur and runs his own company; TOKN Technology with his business partner Kevin Venter. Clinton moved to Australia almost 2 decades back from South Africa. As you listen to the conversation, you will find out that he is a born entrepreneur, literally. He started working when he was 12 year old and since then he has always been ahead of the curve, always challenging the status quo, always thinking about solutions in a commercial sense and while doing all this, expanding his boundaries. 

Clinton is now settled in Perth and is currently growing his business which has seen a whopping 100% growth in past 12 month. Some of his biggest clients includes multi billion dollar organisations like BHP, Rio Tinto, Roy Hill and many more providing software solutions and apps to lower the operations cost, increasing efficiency, improving safety and offering a super user experience at the same time. He is a man on the go and if you want to listen to his story and his experience in Australia, check it out and send me your feed back. Happy Listening, lets get inspired and move ahead in life.

When i met Sanjay for the first time in 2017, he came across as a serious looking gentleman. Now that i know him for past 4 years,  his pensive face reflects the expertise that he carries on his shoulders, he is a very serious Cyber Security professional. He is pretty jovial on occasions when we are enjoying our single malt sessions on Fridays in the haze of Sheesha. However, when it comes to using free WiFi from Hotel or at the Airport, he is pretty stiff about them. He calls them "Free Lunches" which are not good for health.

I interviewed him to get to know the serious business of IT Security and off-course he is going to take us through his Great Australian Journey. Please note the hint of pride and excitement  in his voice when he mentions the story about getting his permanent residency of Australia. 

Enjoy our conversation and share the link with your friends and family, we are counting on you for that. Till the next time, be safe, wear mask and practice top level hygiene.  God Bless and Peace to all.

In this episode we discuss power of staying positive especially during tough times. Gurmeet came to Australia in 1995, with no friends and little support from the family back home. He decided to take bull by the horn and what helped him during this tough times were some new friends who became lifelong ones, his deep rooted faith in hard work and perseverance. 

This power of positivity took Gurmeet from doing odd jobs to buying his own company and then smartly selling it at the right time to make good profits. He went on to become sales man of the year and went on to explore his career in sales. This took him to BSL Australia, a multinational company, one of the largest scaffolding companies in Australia & NZ.  I hope his amazing story will not only inspire you but will also give you a fresh new perspective on age old concept of hard work and going that extra mile.
