    We kick off The Experts podcast in 2026 with some energy to get you motivated and launch the year with a bit of vigour. Communications and body language expert Jordana Borensztajn is as fiery as her hair, with a wit to match and the attitude to back it up! Jordana has worn a lot of different hats and admits to making many mistakes, but she openly shares this so we can all learn from her journey. Her humour, her intelligence, and the fact that she’s always willing to give something a go is inspiring. She is a regular guest on overnight radio programs with uplifting segments to entertain the audiences. She is a rising star across other media platforms as well, and her use of social media is a benchmark for those looking to build an authoritative profile.

It's not how to be an influencer 'Kim Kardashian' style but more how to bring presence into your communication. This book is full of practical and easy suggestions you can adopt to be a better communicator. Strap in and enjoy this episode with Jordana.

    Phoebe Netto is the founder and Managing Director of Pure Public Relations. Listen on Soundcloud, Spotify of Apple Podcasts. All Australians are hurting after the tragedy in Bondi this week. We are feeling the pain and loss of innocence stolen by an act of terrorism on Sydney's iconic Bondi beach. I read a post this week that Phoebe had bravely shared, asking us all to be mindful of what you're posting, whether representing yourself, your business, or your brand. It's an important reminder that it's not always necessary to post on social media or take a public stance by throwing your opinion into the mix. We're all in shock that such hatred and violence have occurred on Australian soil, so let's pause, take time to listen and be considered in any response you might have the urge to share publicly. We don't need to point fingers at individuals or organisations, when as a result, it has the potential to do more harm than good. Phoebe shares her thoughts on the way our leaders responded, and how journalists have covered the events of Sunday 14th December 2026. Leaders must possess an empathetic and human response in a crisis such as this. We hope you'll put your arms around each other, stop the hate, be kind, be human.

    The housing crisis and home affordability has been a hot topic in the media in 2025. There really doesn't seem to be a solution through government initiatives or legislation but one thing is for sure, we all need to be savvier in the way we approach borrowing and investments. Our guest this episode is finance educator Zain Peart. Education is everything and Zain believes that 'influencers' are the greatest threat to a successful relationship with money. Their unregulated advice and jargon is dangerous when consumers are considering their biggest financial transaction. "The media is not belting this up, we are living in a cost of living crisis" Zain Peart Zain has some very clear messages for the market. Simple adjustments in language of 'first homeowner' to ‘first property owner' grants can change the way we think about the great Australian dream of owning your own house. A small change in mindset is required to take the emotion out of purchasing a home or an investment. It makes a difference. Zain’s calm and considered approach is very reassuring and influential. His tips are critical for everyone looking to invest or buy a property. Understanding the market, budgeting and payment options are all elements of an educated purchaser. A great listen for those entering the property market, or just to hear Zain’s calm and credible way of contributing to media.

    Kate Toon is an author, speaker, and a marketing/SEO expert who has a wonderful take on life. She loves to write books, so much so that she bought a bookstore! Kate has an amazing energy which I saw firsthand at a recent event put on by Jacqueline Brooker. She’s a natural communicator and a saleswoman at heart. Her take on selling doesn’t make sales feel dirty or difficult. Buyers are there because they want to buy, so it’s your job to give them a reason to buy, to trust you, and a pathway to make the transaction easy. It’s about creating a relationship which we’re all capable of, and most of us have been doing since the dawn of time. Kate shares some great advice and smart business tips, including inside information you need if you want to write, publish, and market a book. It’s valuable intel and her get-to-the-point approach is something many of us can improve on. Everyone needs a little bit of Kate Toon in their life. You’ll walk away from this episode with a clear action plan to make your business shine. It’s possible you’ll even pick up a pen and start writing your own book. Enjoy the podcast.

    Dr Nicole Lee is internationally known for her work in alcohol and other drug treatment and research. She is well known for her expertise in Australia's methamphetamine crisis and in the treatment of alcohol and other drug problems. She is a consulting psychologist and a behaviour change expert. She has extensive experience in policy, practice and data trends in alcohol and other drugs. Nicole is the CEO of Hello Sunday Morning, an Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping people who want to change their relationship with alcohol. Hello Sunday Morning was founded in 2009 by a young man, Chris Raine, who took a year off alcohol and blogged about his experience. He would wake up hangover-free and each post was signed off "Hello Sunday Morning". Many Australian's have a problem with alcohol. Rum was the first alcohol currency in Australia during European settlement over 235 years ago, and it has been instilled in our culture and way of life for generations. Alcohol consumption ccauses so much harm in our community contributing to mental health problems, domestic violence, relationship breakdowns, road fatalities and injuries, amid many more. In recent times we've seen a rebellion to the 'Aussie drinking culture', particularly from young people and women. Hello Sunday Morning have been instrumental in providing information and education to those seeking an alcohol-free life, with extremely impressive outcomes. In this episode, Nicole tells us about the huge numbers flocking to change their behaviour with alcohol, the media's interest in this topic, and the support and assistance that Hello Sunday Morning can provide. Some very timely messages as we approach the 'silly season' for those who want to make an adjustment to their lives.

    Our guest on The Experts podcast today is Jonathon Woolfrey, a leading Human Resources expert and commentator, and Managing Partner of HR agency, Talenting. Human Resources is a fascinating topic with great appeal to the media, because just about all of us are affected, being either employees or employers ourselves! Jonathon has done numerous interviews with all forms of media across the country from local and national TV, radio and print. Jonathon talks us through some of his experiences as a media expert. As we all know, workplace topics and working conditions have been high on the agenda for media over the last five years, and one of the questions that fascinates me is "Are we a better workforce this side of covid compared to before it?" I was also interested to ask Jonathon “What makes a great employer?, and what makes a great employee? I think we all have different views on this. We tackle some of the big issues in employment today, and into the future. “What will AI look like when it really takes hold,” to controversial subjects like “The four-day working week”. Jonathon is a fantastic articulate expert who knows exactly what it takes for a story to interest the media.

    How do young people engage in the news cycle? Where do they go for information? What content interests them? These are the questions brands, businesses, and governments are asking as they all try to connect with younger audiences. This week on the podcast we speak with someone who has some of those answers. Billi Fitzsimons is the Editor in Chief at The Daily Aus. It’s a newsroom that’s been designed with young people in mind. This independent newsroom boasts over 2 million visits per month and has a particular style which appeals to vibrant and influential young Australians. Billi eloquently tells us how and where it started, and what’s happening there now. At The Daily Aus., news is delivered free of opinion, directly to the consumer via many platforms. Podcasting being one of them, and you’ll hear in Billi’s voice her passion for this format. Her recent interview with Opposition Leader Sussan Ley is a great example of podcasting serving its younger audiences, with the questions not too dissimilar to that of traditional media but asked through a young person’s lens. This young Editor’s desire for storytelling, and appetite for news and content is apparent. The pedigree of media brilliance is not surprising when you discover who Billi’s parentals are (Parentals so Gen X). She shares many hints and tips on how and why brands should front up and connect with younger people. After all, younger people make up a majority voting mass in the community, having overridden the 'baby boomers' last election. Looking forward to watching Billi make her way in the modern media landscape.

    Our guest on this episode is Grace Fitzgibbon. She’s an experienced journalist with a nightly segment on Seven’s Sydney 6pm evening news bulletin called ‘Brightside’. It’s a welcomed positive community news story within the news, which goes against the general difficult daily grind of the news. Grace really tells us how it is. If you’ve ever been to a #MeetTheMedia event in Sydney, you will have met her, and most attendees will say she’s incredibly energetic, positive, and funny, with a view on everything. But it hasn’t been all sunshine and lollipops for Grace. Her father is former ALP Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon, so she had a pretty good idea of what she was getting into when she chose journalism. What she wasn't ready for, was the passing of her brother Lance Corporal Jack Fitzgibbon on the 7th of March 2024 when he died in a parachuting incident at the Richmond RAAF Base. The tragic accident was subsequently shared by Grace on social media. She is incredibly brave and continues to talk up her big brother. If there’s anyone that can find a silver lining to this heartbreaking time in her life, she will, as she prepares for the impending arrival of her daughter. As a journalist, she’s there to tell stories. Grace not only tells them in a bright, enthusiastic way, but she also shares her own story. There's a lot to learn from Grace and we look forward to having her back on our TV screens when she returns from maternity leave.
