Today, it’s the end of another quarter. But even bigger, it’s the very last day of 2024.

And it means only 359 days until we welcome Santa Claus again.

WOW, what an interesting year it has been. Putting aside wars, international conflicts, crazy sanctions, and one of the busiest years I can recall with elections around the globe.

In business and economics, we started the year with the World Economic Forum speaking about the Future of Growth Framework amidst a sluggish global economy.

And we watched a noticeable growing trend—the increasing reliance on AI to make major decisions, particularly being utilized by governments, which may surprise many listeners. (worrying or not, only time will tell), but for business leaders, you will need to prepare yourself for a changing of the business rules; that much I’m very confident about.

The question on every leader’s mind is no doubt what will 2025 bring. Well, the wait is over, and tomorrow we find out.

Today we're heading home literally within Stone throw of our place on the Gold Coast in Australia, and chatting with an extraordinary individual, a man who is an international marketing enigma. Today we have the pleasure of speaking with and learning from Mr. John Dwyer. John is a direct response customer attraction expert who thinks way outside the box. His marketing consultancy business is called The Institute of WOW. And John's mantra is that one's marketing needs to wow prospects. He's also the guy who shocked the marketing world some years back when he convinced Jerry Seinfeld to come out of retirement to be the spokesperson for an Australian banking institution. Jerry headed up a free vacation campaign, which broke home loan lending records and remains folklore in the global banking industry.

John helps business owners understand how to exploit platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn by implementing incentive-based marketing offers that can be targeted specifically to certain audiences. His client list reads like a who's who of business and includes the likes of Rupert Murdoch's News Limited, 7-Eleven, Westfield Shopping Centers, Walt Disney, KFC, and BP, just to name a few. And his skills have been used by these companies because they acknowledge he is the master of creating incentives at work.
