"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." – Milton Berle Learning how to manufacture opportunity when you need it is one of the most important skills you can develop. And today's guest, Lauren Karan, has become an expert at building doors... Growing up, Lauren had one dream – to be a professional singer. At 19 years old, Lauren got her first shot at the big time, auditioning for the hit TV show X Factor. After making it through to the final stage, the aspiring singer fell victim to the pressure and spectacle of the occasion – a moment that crushed her confidence and caused her to rethink everything she wanted out of life. But the devastating failure created space for a new opportunity, when Lauren landed her first role in the recruitment industry. With a natural talent for problem solving, relationships, and business, it was a slam dunk. Today, Lauren is founder and director of Karan & Co, Australia’s most disruptive recruitment agency, where she transforms companies that want to find – and retain – the best people. Lauren’s family focus allows her to truly partner with her clients who recognize that caring more about people is what unlocks the real profitability and goodwill of a business. In this episode: Why companies struggle to find and keep the right people How to balance family with career What failure taught Lauren about future possibilities; and How to build doors and turbocharge your career.

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” — Edward J. Stieglitz We're making history together today! This episode is part of a successful world record attempt where 100 skydivers, each over 60 years old, jumped out of an airplane and created a formation on the way down. Check out the video version of this episode to see the clip that has raised the bar for what a podcast intro can do — and how age should never stop you from experiencing what you want. Norman Kent embarked on his first jungle expedition at 14 years old where he developed a strong desire to capture the beauty he saw and share it with the world. At 19 years old, Norman made his first skydive – a moment that would change his life forever. Since that time, Norman has worked on blockbuster films like Cliffhanger, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and Godzilla. He’s also made his own skydiving films, consulted to special forces units, and helped facilitate record-breaking feats all over the world – as well jumping into ceremonies of both the summer and winter Olympic Games. As a skydiving pioneer, Norman has more than 30,000 jumps to his name, including the first expedition to ever jump onto the North Pole, a joint exercise with the US and Russian military. In the skydiving community, Norman has earned the respect as the world’s best skydiving cinematographer. In this episode: What drives Norman’s continued love of adventure How to summon courage during your most fearful moments Some of the most fascinating moments from his acclaimed career (including the mindset that makes Tom Cruise perform at such a high level), and What Norman’s time at the coalface of death has taught him about life.
