Switched On
Join Tom & Brayden as they talk to a diverse range of guests who are Switched On in their own domains! From athletes & entrepreneurs to local aussie heroes, all of these guests have something inspiring to say to help you get more Switched On in areas of life that you are truly passionate about! Switched On is a platform we’ve created for younger crew like us who are looking at belonging to a community that upholds what it means to learn and grow from life’s experiences, becoming more Switched On in the process. This initiative is powered by the Happiness Co Foundation, but everything put forward is made by youth, for youth. Through Happiness Co we’ve been fortunate enough to work with over 20,000 students across Perth who have encouraged us to create this platform. We believe it has so much potential and we have plans for it to become the go-to platform for connection, wellbeing, support and community for young people. We always love your support and hope you stick around for the ride!

So stoked to finally have Brayden & Jules back from their recent trip to Zambia! I couldn’t wait to get them in the booth to talk about the whole experience and more!
They travelled 30 hours to embark on The Happiness Co - Hope & Happiness Tour with the aim of sparking conversations and fostering an environment that is more understanding of mental health as a whole within a 3rd world country.
The takeaways that they shared are truly inspiring and can help us all gain a better perspective on how we can help out in our local community, as well as around the world, the choice is yours!

*We are not financial advisors*
We are joined by Ben Kosterich who is the host of The Market Bull Podcast where he talks to business professionals globally about finances, investing and building a better relationship with money!
Money can be a heavy topic to talk about, but it doesn’t have to be that way!
Most of us are brought up with the spending habits and financial knowledge that our parents share with us while growing up. However, some of us don’t get the opportunity to learn the strategies that the people “in the know” use each day as a way of budgeting, earning and investing their money to grow their wealth over time.
The more you know about the ways that money can serve you, particularly as a young adult, can help you on your way to achieve short-term financial goals such as saving for a holiday, to long-term goals such as getting a house!

*Firstly we apologise that the audio quality is not at the usual standard as this episode was recorded a while ago and the file got distorted*
In this episode we cover how the use of social media can be used for its diverse utility, but also how it has the potential to damage an individuals health and wellbeing due to the likes of comparrison with unrealistic standards, seeking validation and reducing quality time spent within relationships.
The world of social media may not be so social, and we think it's important to be aware of the dangers that may arise if not used responsibly.
As always, we hope you get something out of the episode!

Super stoked to be joined by the legends Ben & Nathan from Speak & Share, a Not For Profit Mental Health Organisation in Victoria who encourage tough conversations and challenges the stigma associated with mental health in todays day and age.
Since turning tragedy into triumph, Speak & Share now changes the lives of many through not only helping others gain a greater level of awareness around their own, and others mental health, but also by making us smile with their skits and community events.
It was a pleasure to talk to the lads and we were able to gain a new perspective around the importance of community, vulnerability and ultimately taking care of our mental health, plus how to do so.
