Are you wasting 80% of your time on things that don’t drive results in your business?

In this value-packed episode of Talking with the Experts, we sit down with financial strategist and serial entrepreneur Michael Barbarita to uncover the business and marketing moves that your competitors aren’t doing—but should be.

Michael breaks down his Conversion Formula—a practical approach that transforms prospects into paying customers by focusing on high-impact activities. He also explains the Buyer’s Journey—why only 1% to 3% of your audience is ready to buy now, and how to engage the other 97% until they are.

With over 30 years of experience and millions in revenue growth across multiple ventures, Michael knows firsthand how to shift from random marketing acts to repeatable systems. You’ll learn how he grew “Ski Town USA” from $2.5M to $8M, and how one frozen cookie dough idea landed him on QVC.

What makes this conversation transformative is the clarity and simplicity of Michael’s advice. He demystifies financial and sales strategies and explains how just 20% of your efforts can produce 80% of your results—saving time, increasing ROI, and giving you a competitive edge.

Whether you’re a solopreneur, coach, or small business owner juggling multiple roles, this episode will help you stop spinning your wheels and start scaling strategically.

🎯 It’s time to take the guesswork out of growth.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, your purpose, or the world around you?

In this soul-stirring episode of Talking with the Experts, Rose Davidson sits down with Marc-John Brown—Co-Founder of Native Wisdom Hub—for a conversation that is equal parts grounding and galvanising. Together, they explore the powerful concept of re-indigenisation as the antidote to modern burnout, anxiety, and emotional disconnection.

Marc-John shares his journey from successful entrepreneur to complete burnout—and how that breakdown led him back to his deepest calling: reconnecting with indigenous wisdom traditions. As someone who once launched six companies and lost himself in the process, he now guides others in rediscovering purpose, healing trauma, and living in alignment.

You’ll learn how disconnection is at the heart of much of today’s physical, emotional, and spiritual malaise—and how the practices of our ancestors can guide us back to balance. Marc-John also breaks down how re-indigenisation can be practically integrated into modern life through ceremony, community, and performance coaching.

Whether you’re a high-performing professional on the edge of burnout or someone seeking a deeper sense of connection, this episode will shift your perspective—and perhaps, your path. You’ll walk away with a renewed understanding of what it means to be well, whole, and rooted.

✨ Topics covered:

• The hidden cost of hustle culture and overachievement
• How ancestral practices can transform mental, physical, and emotional health
• Coaching tools for reconnecting with purpose and community

Join us as we explore what it means to come home to yourself in a world that constantly pulls you away.

How do you make your brand impossible to ignore—without being obnoxious or gimmicky?

In this power-packed episode of Talking with the Experts, I sit down with Dr. Chris Gray, a world-renowned consumer psychologist and marketing strategist who’s helped brands like Coca-Cola, Nestle, and P&G grab—and keep—customer attention.

Chris brings 30 years of experience decoding how the brain filters information and why most brands fail to stand out. You’ll discover the two powerful levers every business must understand: disruption and relevance.

Disruption gets you noticed. Relevance makes you remembered.

He explains how selective attention works (yes, your brain deletes most of what it sees!), and how to use that insight to craft marketing that sticks. Whether you’re a coach, creative, founder, or marketing professional, Chris reveals strategies you can implement immediately to:

• Disrupt patterns without being pushy.
• Craft messages that truly matter to your audience.
• Connect emotion and insight for long-term brand loyalty.

We also unpack real-life examples from global campaigns and discuss how AI and tech are shifting attention economies. This isn’t about manipulation—it’s about becoming intentionally visible.

Chris’s approach blends neuroscience, strategy, and empathy, empowering you to market smarter, not louder. He believes small businesses can gain the same psychological edge as billion-dollar brands—by applying the science of how people think and decide.

In this transformative episode of Talking with the Experts, I sit down with digital marketing strategist and founder of Livelong Digital, Prosper Taruvinga, to explore a powerful, often-overlooked concept: Own Your M.E.D.I.A.

Prosper’s story is one of determination, global perspective, and sustainable success. From his journey as a Zimbabwean immigrant to launching a successful digital agency in Melbourne, Prosper knows what it takes to build a thriving business in a crowded online space. And it starts with one thing: ownership.

Prosper introduces a smarter path—one that focuses on building email lists, creating valuable blog content, and turning your website into a powerful client-attracting asset.

You’ll learn:

• The real cost of renting space on social media vs. owning your platform.
• How to structure your content to build trust and long-term relationships.
