Andrew Griffiths is Australia's #1 Business Author. His Current book:- "Someone has to be the most expensive, Why not make it You?" is his latest and number 14 in his Body of Work. Having spoken in over 65 countries he is not what you would probably expect.

Completely self made Andrew has had to work out his own mind and then move forward on his path which is one of an inate sense of purpose from helping others discover their own path and voice.

The conversation with Coach Nicki & Kerrie Saverin from the Business 101 Show is a candid chat about everything from his childhood right through to how he ended up presenting on behalf of the European Union. Andrew not only challenges what we believe to be tenents in business but encourages us to think again about the exact situation we find ourselves in, right now.

A real Aussie bloke Andrew tells it how it is and shares not only his wins but his failures as well. This is a masterclass in business delivered in under an hour by the Master himself.

Come meet Councillor Teresa Lane - A refreshing individual who tells it how it is, is direct non washy and commits to a position she believes in. Not only a Logan City Councillor but a previous Federal staffer who at one time was running the Manager of opposition businesses office in Canberra, has worked with the Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers & who now fiercely serves her constituents in Division 2 in Logan City. 
How can a person get excited about a public toilet block in a suburban street in Logan City? Simple, when they're not only a local champion but also happen to be the head of the infrastructure committee for the LCC.

Teresa lane is an onion, the deeper you go the more you find and thats where the onion metaphor ends, because you smile more and more the deeper you peel.
