  • Standing Tall: Teresa Dall’Acqua Leonardi’s Triumphs in the Face of Adversity
    Oct 11 2024

    Listen to all episodes of The Good Italian Girl and Friends podcast series here:

    The Good Italian Girl and Friends podcast

    Stay connected and enjoy every insightful conversation with our podcasts and their amazing guests!


    I'm delighted to introduce Teresa Dall’Acqua Leonardi OAM to our podcast series. Teresa shares her remarkable life journey, filled with both triumphs and challenges, including one of her proudest moments: receiving the Order of Australia Medal in 2009. This prestigious honour is a rare achievement for an Italian woman within the Italian-Australian community.

    Teresa’s story begins when she arrived in Australia as a young child, a refugee with her Italian parents, who fled Asmara in East Africa (formerly an Italian colony) due to civil unrest between the Black and White communities. Settling in Adelaide, Teresa dedicated her life to volunteering, particularly within the Italian community and various other organisations. Helping others has always been central to her nature, calling, and passion.

    At a young age, Teresa began teaching English to newly arrived immigrants, helping them assimilate into Australian society. She later worked in the disability sector and the funeral industry. Beyond her professional roles, Teresa has been deeply involved in many community projects, such as the early development of Carnevale and the Italian Festival. She continues to serve on community boards and Italian associations to this day.

    Throughout her life, Teresa has faced many challenges, yet she remains a beacon of strength and resilience. Her message to all women is clear: stand tall, remain strong, and never let life's difficulties bring you down. Teresa is a true role model for Italian-Australian women across generations, and her inspiring insights shared in this podcast offer valuable lessons for us all.

  • Alessandro Gavello: From Limiting Beliefs to Limitless Growth, Alessandro's Journey
    Oct 8 2024

    Alessandro Gavello, an inspiring figure from Italy, joins us on Happy Business Radio to unravel his transformative journey through the world of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and personal development.

    His recent experiences at an NLP summer camp in Orlando illuminate the critical roles mentors and coaches play in fostering both business and personal growth.

    Alessandro’s unique background in circus arts adds a fascinating layer to our conversation, as he shares how mastering both the mind and body is a lifelong quest akin to juggling — requiring patience, practice, and persistence.

    Our discussion takes a deeper look into the essence of learning, leveraging the wisdom of masters like Richard Bandler, and how modelling successful patterns can shift our focus from negativity to a flourishing life of positive outcomes.

    We explore the powerful impact of belief systems in shaping actions and the necessity of overcoming limiting programming through conscious effort.

    By drawing parallels with Olympic athletes, we highlight how focusing on self-improvement and asking the right questions can lead to exceptional personal and professional growth.

    The episode rounds off with an exploration of how our mindset and vibrations influence the energies we attract in life.

    We emphasise the importance of maintaining a positive mental state, not only to draw positivity into our lives but also to navigate challenges effectively.

    Alessandro's insights into the "yogurt experiment" and the analogy of barnyard animals and birds offer intriguing perspectives on how energies and relationships intertwine.

    This conversation serves as a potent reminder that continuous self-improvement and nurturing a supportive mindset are keys to elevating one's status and achieving success.

    Chapter Summaries

    (00:12) Business Growth and Personal Development

    Alessandro shares insights from his NLP summer camp in the USA, emphasizing the importance of mentors, self-improvement, and diverse interests in business and life.

    (07:32) Effective Learning Techniques and Personal Growth

    Networking is like juggling, practice is important. Learning from a master and modelling successful structures leads to positive choices and beliefs that shape actions.

    (15:05) Personal Growth and Development Through Challenges

    Exploring parallels between Olympic athletes and personal growth, focusing on improvement, mindset, and taking control of our journey.

    (25:26) The Power of Positive Vibrations

    Nature's vibrations impact our lives, attracting similar energies based on our mindset, and positive thinking alone is not enough.

    (31:17) Improving Status Through Personal Growth

    Self-improvement, personal vibration, education, and continuous improvement are discussed in relation to relationships and success.

  • Kate Laurie: Vine & Bubble Podcast
    Aug 25 2024

    To listen to all the episodes, click this link

    https://vineandbubble.com/podcast

    Today we are going to delve into the mysterious world of reductive champagne winemaking. If you’re a champagne lover – or any wine lover – no doubt you’ve heard this discussed in a way that is oversimplified, or maybe misleading. But it is a hugely complex and sometimes confusing topic.

    The best examples of reductive winemaking, produce wines of freshness and fruit character that are pure and layered with elegance and tension. This stands in contrast to oxidative winemaking which allows a controlled exchange with the air, producing styles that can be medium to full bodied with a rounded mouthfeel and notes of jelly fruits in the case of chardonnay or hazelnut and tobacco in Pinot Noir.

    During this podcast, we will navigate through the complexity with the multi-award winning sparkling winemaker Kate Laurie from Deviation Road Winery in the Adelaide Hills. If you’re in Australia, perhaps you’ve heard of Kate, but you may not be unaware of her extensive background living and studying in Champagne, notably at the Lycée Viticole d’Avize. Her studies and work experience included writing a thesis in French and gaining experience at numerous growers whom she still counts among her many local friends.

    I hope you enjoy this detailed discussion.
