To Simon’s delight, this week's guest is fellow Tasmanian Toby Wilkin.
For over 15 years, Toby has been a noteworthy leader in the entrepreneurial space. Born and raised in Tasmania Toby, thoroughly understands tourism and business in the state and beyond. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family in the construction, business and development industry he has shared this passion and success in his entrepreneurial adventures.
Toby has a series of different companies under the groups control including:
- Wealth Lab - Taking our experience and world-class sales systems to help other businesses thrive, offering sales & marketing coaching, events and digital presence products.
- Torple Energy - An energy rating consultancy firm focusing on sustainable outcomes for new development across Australia.
- Zippi Electric Bikes - Focussed on Raising Balanced Kids, this innovative startup was all about fun and kid-focused with Electric eBikes.
In this show, John and Simon dive into Change Overnight. Toby and cofounder Sam Haberle conjured up the idea behind Change Overnight in early 2018 while dreaming of ways they could extend their mission to make a positive impact in the world.
Outside of being a serial entrepreneur, Toby enjoys technology, making a difference and thinking big!
In this episode, The Occupational Philosophers explore:
- If you’re open, people seem to present themselves at the right time
- How a little wine can bring about some big ideas
- How colours and design can make us feel and connect to emotion
- It’s OK to be a little uncomfortable
- The importance of allowing serendipity and how it can open up opportunity
- Why it’s important to put some good energy into the world
- How 12 months can seem a long time to some people and a short time to others
- Why a little red wine can be the start of a good idea
As always, there is a thought experiment. For this show, it's Trip(advisor) of a lifetime
The Occupational Philosophers hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as they enjoyed making it.
