It’s very hard to sum up the career and life of Terry Aronson… what hasn’t this man done? Starting out in Sydney with his own highly successful construction company, Terry made the decision to go to the US to broaden his horizons. Despite his success in business, the US authorities would only issue him with a green card if he had a skill that was more unique than running a business. Luckily for Terry, he proved himself as an Olympic-standard shooter and beat the two best Olympians in the US! Having established himself in the US, Terry embarked upon an esteemed career in business, the military and not-for-profit sector, and while he was at it, he won 17 national shooting titles. It was truly inspiring to hear of his work coordinating response operations for major disasters across America, and how one of his charities revived a failing school. Terry’s sterling work led to him being assigned a tour of duty in the Pentagon for an almost-unprecedented five years. Now Terry is back home in Australia, keeping him

We’ve got a real all-rounder on the latest Arete podcast. Mark Edmonds is currently a business mentor with MRE Consulting and the part-owner of the Ocean Grove Chalet motel, with the most incredible range of senior-management experience outside of his current ventures. He’s chaired numerous boards across different sectors, he’s worked as a national sales manager, and he even landed a senior-management job because a client was so impressed with what he recommended them as a consultant. Mark keeps going back to the importance of listening. He has an interesting take on the difference between mentorship and coaching in business, and by the way, he also helped rewrite the Marine & Coastal Act for Victoria! See what we mean about him being an all-rounder? This guy is well worth listening to - you’re bound to learn something from Mark. Episode Highlights: -The different definitions of “business coach”, “mentor” and “business consultant” -Mark’s battle to uphold family values after a corporate takeover -Managem

John Perry has gone through everything you could imagine on his executive journey. He’s been a CEO in a high-pressured corporate environment and he’s built up his own SME from scratch. It was interesting to hear why he decided to start up on his own having been so successful in larger organisations. Nowadays he is Managing Director/Founder of Conquest Capital and is very keen to keep the business small and tight-knit, but he still vividly remembers the days when he had to take the reins as CEO of Macquarie Bank Retirement Villages Group Fund. With 30 years of investment-banking experience, he is an expert in raising capital for businesses looking to grow and he is also expert in advising businesses who are looking to exit. He certainly knows his way around M&A and understanding financials, but he is also refreshingly insightful about the human meaning behind the numbers. This is one not to be missed! In this episode you will learn: -How the Domesday Book influenced John -Why naming a business after yoursel
