  • Surprised

    I usually love to listen to your podcast but I’m really surprised that you chose to platform a non Australian business owner on your most recent episode, I feel like there are plenty of Australian business owners that could’ve used that space.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does being adopted affect my reading with David the Medium?
Q: What would you say to me about the big new chapter I feel is coming?
David says she should remain present and grateful while allowing change to unfold, and suggests future work may involve global storytelling and protecting vulnerable communities.
Does being adopted affect my reading with David the Medium?
Q: Does my being adopted affect how a reading works, or who might come through?
David says Sarah's adoptive family is her soul family and that biological DNA and nationality do not determine spiritual connection.
Everything I've ever wanted to ask David the Medium!
Q: So can spirit then predict things? So it's not just past, it's like future things. So you could theoretically hear about a car accident that hadn't happened yet.
David believes life has key destined points while people retain free will over the paths they take. He says spirits may guide people toward those points, but predictions can be fluid and open to interpretation; he also acknowledges that some predictions have been wrong.
Everything I've ever wanted to ask David the Medium!
Q: How do you go from someone who was skeptical going into a reading, your whole life had been that way, to being able to talk to spirit?
David says he learned to notice everyday experiences he associates with energy, such as intuition and gut feelings, and trained his ability through mentoring and repeated practice. He describes spirits communicating through images, sounds, emotions and physical sensations, which he interprets using his memory and experience.
How to build a cult brand with Bree Johnson
Q: If you had $5,000 and no audience today, in today's landscape, how would you build a cult brand?
Bree suggests that while seed money is challenging today, the core is to establish a strong brand identity, clear brand values, a platform for content, and a strategy to build a community first, then grow through consistent content, branding, and legal foundations before seeking capital.
