 Ronsley Vaz is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, marketer and founder of Amplify - Australia’s first audio marketing agency. Ronsley credits his business failures as the reason for his ultimate success. Ronsley’s humility is obvious in his unwillingness to acknowledge the important role he plays as the Founder of a business for good. However, he does explain that because of his background he feels connected to many cultures and it is the dichotomy between cultures and countries that inspires him to continue making an impact. In this episode, Ronsley takes an honest and pragmatic look at his foundations as an entrepreneur and takes us through the pain of walking away from a broken business. He talks in-depth about his passion for giving to A Voice for a Voice - an initiative that protects girls and women from the sex trafficking industry.

He talks about expanding his horizons through podcasts and how it was the unlikely catalyst for creating a successful enterprise. He also gives advice to those thinking about a foray into podcasting as part of their business marketing strategy. In his unique, understated style Ronsley also opens up about what happens when a business goes wrong and what to do to bounce back. He talks about his definition of success and how it’s naive to project perfection to fellow entrepreneurs. So, plug in and enjoy this refreshingly honest and insightful episode.

 Eye-opening is the only way I can describe today’s episode. Nicky Mih, Managing Director of sex trafficking prevention organisation Free to Shine, holds nothing back as she takes us deep into her world working with vulnerable young girls in Cambodia. Nicky shares intimate details about her experience working to protect girls who are most at risk to sex trafficking. She helps us get a feel for the dangers these girls and their families live every day, sharing stories that will give you a new found perspective on your life. Nicky tells us about 8-year-old Kin and her Grandmother, who lived outside on a wooden bed, with only a black sheet of plastic wrapped around a tree providing some form of shelter. She talks about how this story inspired her to start building homes for these families. Today, Free to Shine has built a total of 19 homes. Nicky explains that to keep vulnerable girls safe, they need to be in school. She tells us about how the girls sometimes struggle to stay in school, with hunger and thirst often forcing them to leave in search of food and clean water. Nicky also talks about the importance of giving back, in life and through business, before you’re ready. She encourages listeners to do what’s right and do what matters, and the rest will take care of itself. I think you’ll find this episode incredibly moving and inspiring.
