About The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (Amazon):
Live in a clean and clutter-free home forever with the life-changing KonMari Method - now a multi-million copy international best seller.
Transform your home into a permanently clear and clutter-free space with the incredible KonMari Method. Japan's expert declutterer and professional cleaner Marie Kondo will help you tidy your rooms once and for all with her inspirational step-by-step method.
The key to successful tidying is to tackle your home in the correct order, to keep only the things you really love and to do it all at once - and quickly. After that for the rest of your life you need only to choose what to keep and what to discard.
The KonMari Method will not just transform your space. Once you have your house in order, you will find that your whole life will change. You can feel more confident, you can become more successful, and you can have the energy and motivation to create the life you want. You will also have the courage to move on from the negative aspects of your life: you can recognise and finish a bad relationship; you can stop feeling anxious; you can finally lose weight.
Marie Kondo's method is based on a 'once cleaned, never messy again' approach. If you think that such a thing is impossible, then you should definitely listen to this compelling audiobook.

In this special book review episode we do a quick summary of the book Built to Sell by John Warrilow and discuss how you can implement the tips from the book in your own business.
Buy the paperback from Amazon.
Check out our Books Section for more books recommended by our guests.
About Built to Sell:
Run your company. Don’t let it run you.
Most business owners started their company because they wanted more freedom—to work on their own schedules, make the kind of money they deserve, and eventually retire on the fruits of their labor.
Unfortunately, according to John Warrillow, most owners find that stepping out of the picture is extremely difficult because their business relies too heavily on their personal involvement. Without them, their company—no matter how big or profitable—is essentially worthless.
But the good news is that entrepreneurs can take specific steps—no matter what stage a business is in—to create a valuable, sellable company. Warrillow shows exactly what it takes to create a solid business that can thrive long into the future.
About John Warrillow
John Warrillow is the author of Built To Sell: Turn Your Business Into One You Can Sell. Throughout his career as an entrepreneur, John has started and exited four companies. Most recently he transformed Warrillow & Co. from a boutique consultancy into a recurring revenue model subscription business, which he sold to The Corporate Executive Board (NASDAQ: EXBD) in 2008. He is the author of Drilling for Gold and in 2008 was recognized by BtoB Magazine's "Who's Who" list as one of America's most influential business-to-business marketers.

Welcome to Business Over Drinks, one of the most unique podcasts you will find anywhere in the world helmed by two people from different walks of life.
The podcast is an extension of their real-life experiences as business owners, salaried employees and industry mavericks who made mistakes along the way and lived to talk about it.
WE SPEAK TO: Robert Joseph
Rob is a Queensland born and bred startup founder. Spending most of his younger years playing any sport he could get his hands on, he found his own path in action sports. Initially dirt bikes, moving on to mountain bikes and then a stint competing at cable wakeboarding, he found his true sporting love of snowboarding late in life at age 17.
When not chasing adrenaline, he’d spend most of his time tinkering. After school, he started an undergrad of Medical Engineering, with the hope to combine his loves of sport and engineering into some form of career. Originally eyeing off prosthetics for sport, his attention turned to brain protection after experiencing first-hand the pain points of brain protection in action sports. After a look around, he realised there wasn’t really anything interesting or progressive happening in brain protection, so he teamed up with his co-founder Brodie to change the way we protect brains across all categories, starting in the unlikely market of Snow sports.
Rob is the co-founder of Anti-Ordinary. A company that is aiming to revolutionise snow sports, starting with super protective head gear with the twist of it looking exactly like a beanie. But we’ll find out more about that soon.

Welcome to Business Over Drinks!
This episode we’re talking about something that’s been bothering a lot of us lately. That is, the topic of Facebook and Google vs the government and major news outlets. If you haven’t heard lately, there was a standoff between Google and the Australian government (to which Google seems to have eventually backed down), followed by Facebook and the Australian government, to which Facebook didn’t back down, but then sort of did after a while? Are you confused yet? What does this mean, and especially, what does this mean for you guys not only in Australia, but who are listening from around the world?
We speak to Mathew Ingram about these issues.
Other topics:
- Who’s behind these new regulations popping up everywhere
- Are news organisations complaining about platforms that give them most of their web traffic?
- Clubhouse, is it really as stupid as it seems
- Mathew’s latest article
- Closed versus open internet
Mathew Ingram is an award-winning journalist who has spent the past two decades writing about business, technology and new media as well as advising media companies on digital strategy. He is currently the chief digital writer for the Columbia Journalism Review, and prior to that he was a senior writer with Fortune magazine, where he wrote about the evolution of media and the Internet.

This episode we speak to Daniel Cerventus Lim
Daniel has been an avid practitioner in technology and business for more than 20 years now. Having initiated his first technology related startup since tertiary years was a demonstration of relentless taking the challenge to the next level even at a tender age. The ambition only grew bigger when the startup was then invested by Multimedia University Malaysia (MMU).
Through the growing years, he has worked on various mid to large sized projects ranging from the Ministry of Youth and Sport's projects (Rakan Muda) to consulting several companies in digital marketing and e-commerce space before embarking on building an education portal. The venture took shape along the years and through keen eyes on latest trends, pivoted into an education tourism company that facilitates middle eastern students to Malaysia in tandem with aims of Ministry of Tourism of Malaysia in bringing in foreign investment. Daniel soon exited this company and moved on with many other great interests.
Upon exiting, Daniel pursued various community driven and entrepreneurial projects in Malaysia such as Barcamp and Startup Camp to help to grow the startups and developers ecosystem in Malaysia. Through his experience, he then founded Entrepreneurs.my and soon became one of Malaysia's leading resource for entrepreneurial content around Malaysia and neighbours Singapore and Indonesia. Entrepreneurs.my grew in online traction and seeing the interest from Asian countries, it has been rebranded to NextUp.Asia.
Daniel has also served as advisor, mentor and board of director of numerous entrepreneurs' organization around Malaysia and South East Asia. Daniel is also the founding curator of TEDxKL - one the largest TEDx events in the world.

This episode, we have an amazing interview with Mat Stillone. Mat is an award-winning Gen Y entrepreneur at the helm of a number of successful companies, including Protein Supplies Australia (PSA), a supplements start-up whose mantra is ‘natural nutrition without the crap’.
Profitable from its first year, PSA has grown into a multi-million dollar business, whose range of health conscious supplements are sold online and in 1500 outlets nationwide.
In addition to producing and formulating PSA’s own products, Mat has diversified into manufacturing and developing products for global supermarket giants, specialty retailers and other well known brands, via another start-up venture, Integrity Food Co.
Mat’s ability to diversify saw another business Botanika Blends launch nationally in February 2018 with a focus on plant based nutrition.
In May 2020, Mat launched his latest business “Flexible Foods” which offers plant based meat alternatives and quick and easy vegan meals.
Mat was awarded Business News Australia’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Wholesaling, Manufacturing and Distribution, in 2015, 2016, and 2019. He was shortlisted for the Optus & Telstra Business Awards 2016.
