The Experts powered by Media Stable

When you want to know the future of traditional media you can go to those that have always consumed it or you can go to those that are looking to be a part of it. You go to the student journalism students that are looking to make a career of it. What makes them tick? Why do they do they want to be a journalist? What draws young people to journalism and media? This week on #TheExpertsPodcast we dis...

Nic and Lanna take a moment to review and highlight some of the podcasts from the recent season. These are a few podcasts you might want to have a look at; Janine Chatfield – a real standout for the team. Janine delivers so many wonderful tips for working with FM radio. This media professional delivers for her audience. This podcast even gets talked about by one of the breakfast shows here in Pert...

It has never been easier to access credit and money. Debt is cheap now, and that doesn’t mean it's a good thing. There are so many products and services that want our money. Technology is making it so simple to make purchases that you probably don't need. The very simple rule of financial advice is one in one out. What am I prepared to give up having later in life? Very simple but very effective....

Safety in the workplace is a topic that is constant in all media right across the country. There is rarely a day or a week that goes by where we don't hear of a tragic death, an unfortunate accident or a company that is neglectful when it comes to the safety and duty of care for their workers. Safety strategies and measures are in place to protect people in their working environment and in many ca...

Making a connection and forming a relationship has been challenged lately and it is not just the pandemic that is causing this. Technology has been advancing us in so many areas of our lives and has set us back in forming relationships. Now this doesn't sit well with just personal relationships in the dating scene, but it also it affects our relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. It i...

Conflict exists in every aspect of working, private and daily life. When there are human beings involved there is a high chance of conflict happening in some form. I guess in many ways it is just in our nature to fight. How we do it and the level of conflict varies greatly but also the way we deal with conflict is very subjective. We all have a different way of dealing with it and you might be sur...

If there is one thing we have learned during the challenging times of the pandemic is that we, as business owners and leaders, need help! We just cannot do it all. Our guest today has built a platform which supports and mentors businesses. Our guest was not born with a silver spoon - he had to work hard for what he wanted to get out of life.  He had a very smart look and approach to turning the ba...

When you get the opportunity to go behind the scenes, behind the glass of some of the biggest shows and programs in the country there is always a constant factor that defines that program. The producers of the show are in most cases more passionate and connected to its success than the talent behind the microphones. ‘Behind every great show there is even a better producer.’ Our guest is the Execut...

Maybe one of the bravest communication campaigns that I have seen and been involved in, is the inspiration behind this #TheExpertsPodcast today. A movement was brought together after an industry was almost brought to its knees through the disgusting footage on 60 Minutes of a LIVE sheep export ship and a very precision PR campaign from activists that wanted to bring down this industry. The Sheep C...

Diversity in its many shapes and sizes is a thread that has been on the Australian consciousness and media landscape all year, and rightfully so. Whilst race and gender diversity has driven the majority of the narrative both locally and overseas, it's opened the door for all sorts of conversations around how society is being represented in the media and popular culture in Australia. The long held...

The experts and media come together on #TheExpertsPodcast but there is a missing piece we talk about but rarely hear from. In this episode we hear from two representatives of the Media Engagement team at Media Stable, John Solvander and Emily Morgan. They are the bridge between experts and media. They provide the advice and support each expert needs to tell their story in the way the media and the...

When you are looking for the finance news on the ABC television news and Alan Kohler is not there you'll see journalist and former producer Daniel Ziffer. It is not a second prize by any means and Dan will be the first to admit they are incredible shoes to fill. Dan is very well known for being the senior producer over the past eight years for Jon Faine's ABC morning show in Melbourne. One gets th...

Both Lanna and Nic wanted to continue the theme of equality and the push to understanding gender diversity. Having discussed diversity in the media it was very important to bring it to a business and a corporate level and get a feel as to how we are going. This is not a man hating or feminist podcast where we smash the male kind. No, it is a very intelligent conversation and one that has been brew...

Male v Female experts. When you are an expert in your space your gender should not be an issue when communicating with the media, but there is quite the discrepancy when it comes to male and female representation. There is an abundance of men, but women are few and far between and the research by our guest on this episode of the Experts Podcast is looking to address this issue and how we might tur...

Jill of all trades! Sometimes the expertise and the industry you are working in is not the most newsworthy or immediately angle attractive to media, but there's a way to tackle this. Very similar to our expert in focus this week from a company called Chematek. What do they do? Well, they are involved in high quality oils and lubricants. What does our expert in focus do? Well, lots of things really...

A little special presentation from the team at The Experts Podcast Nic and Lanna have a look back at the recent #MeetTheMedia event that took place in Perth at the Australian Institute of Management WA. It was the first LIVE event that Media Stable have put on in eighteen months and it was wonderful to get back in front of the experts and media again. There was a lot of takeaways but here is a few...

It is highly unusual for Nic to get political and emotional in a podcast that is designed to talk about success in media, but it happened on this occasion. The special guests on The Experts Podcast this week are Lorna Cook and Julie Adams the founders of Chemo@Home and as the name suggests, they provide a service which allows patients to undergo their chemotherapy in the comfort of their home, adm...

Who could do with more sleep? “Oh yes please I haven’t slept since I had children” is a story that many parents have around the country. Sleep is the third pillar of health and is as important as diet and exercise. Since we experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of sleep and the effect that it has on health and wellbeing is rampant in our society. On this episode of the Experts Podcast, Nic a...

The brand-new apartment building Opal Tower in Sydney may have been the building that put large property developments in the spotlight. That along with a global pandemic was going to do a lot of damage to an industry that is often referred to as the barometer of the economy. A city was only as successful as the cranes in the city skyline. We have talked to buyers and investors and now its time to...

Having a chat to a simplicity expert was an exercise of self-reflection and an opportunity to take some time to reflect on yourself. We just don't do that enough and everyone should look to do it for the good of their business, relationships, and personal health. The conversation that we have around simplicity is not complicated, but we all seem to avoid it until the pressure reaches maximum level...

One of the great challenges in business is finding a technical and IT expert that has not only the skills but the also the communication skills to be able to work with them. Our expert today is one of the best communicators that I have heard in this field. He is a natural communicator and can do it in workshops, on the stage as a keynote or in the media. You hang onto these people. Zaun Bhana is t...

Chances are you have listened to one of the 530+ podcasts that our next guest has produced over the last decade. It is called Small Business Big Marketing and he has been a trailblazer when it comes to commercializing and building a business around a podcast. He accidently fell into the business and really had no big aspirations from the outset. Twelve years on he has created one of the most downl...

This communications expert has been around for quite some time and is at the top of the communications triangle. He is almost as well known as the brands he has represented over the years and many AFL football fans will know him for his former role as the Chairman of the Fremantle Football Club when they rose to their highest, reaching the AFL Grand Final. Steve Harris is the CEO and Chairman of t...
