**How to Use Your Mind to Find Hidden Profits in Your Business** **....Free Event** **Speaker: David Newton** The author of “Decide, Act & Profit” See Your Best Next Move, Even When It’s Not Obvious **Saturday 11th July 2026** **10AM Sharp Start event goes till 12.30PM** (Small break in the middle of the seminar) Ford Room – Level 3 Crows Nest Community Centre (5 minute walk from the Metro Station) This is a seminar for people like you who are frustrated by seeing the next level up but can't quite get there just yet. It's not a question of what strategy that separates you from this level but a different way of thinking. In fact, 57% of people who start a business will not earn more than the job they left behind. Breaking free from this paradigm is the hurdle you have to confront. **During this morning session we will cover:** * Learn to use the powerful CHAOS formula whenever you find that sales opportunities slow down in your business * How you can overcome rejection from potential clients, your staff, or when pitching your business ideas, and break this limiting pattern for good * How going on “gut feel” can be a costly emotion when getting your business to work * 3 costly pitfalls most people make when their results plateau * One day I quit, then something strange happened. I learnt this one important secret from a multi-millionaire friend with over 8 businesses, and what he told me was “the one thing” that changed everything for me and I began winning again. **Who this session is for:** • Business owners, CEOs and professionals who seek a higher level • People with goals or projects that have stalled or slowed down • Anyone who wants results and control over their business Let’s face it, you're tired of constantly watching others get ahead while you stare at the wall wondering when your break will arrive then this day is for you.

Fireside Chat with Shannon Scott and Malte Feller

Thu, Jul 9, 8:00 AM

From ProductTank Sydney

From Business Owners Sydney

We have a **HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT**! 🎉 We're excited to bring you a very special fireside chat this July with **Shannon Scott** and **Malte Feller**, exploring what it takes to build and lead product at global scale. So much is changing in the product world. AI is reshaping how products are built and how teams operate, while the bar for product leadership keeps rising. Few people have navigated this at the scale and speed of global fintech, where the stakes of getting product right are exceptionally high. **During this fireside chat,** Shannon and Malte will dig into scaling product teams across markets, building trust with customers and regulators, why owning your stack matters more than ever in an agentic AI world, and where AI is taking product leadership in finance next - with a special emphasis on what this means for companies and product people here in Australia. Bring your questions to this special event. **About Shannon** Shannon Scott is the Chief Product Officer at Airwallex, where he leads global product strategy and roadmap across the Melbourne-founded fintech now serving over 150,000 businesses worldwide. His work centres on a genuinely hard problem: building global financial infrastructure that earns customer trust across every jurisdiction it touches. He's a strong advocate for owning your stack by securing and designing products from the ground up rather than relying on third parties and for product leaders taking real ownership of bringing AI capabilities to their customers, not leaving CTOs and CFOs to figure it out themselves. Before Airwallex, Shannon spent 11 years at Palantir, where as its first employee outside the US he built the company's international operations from the ground up. **About Malte** Malte Feller has enjoyed a long and successful career in product and company leadership across global tech hubs, originally in Berlin and then Silicon Valley, before finding his home in Sydney. He has held leadership positions including Managing Director of PayPal Australia, COO of Afterpay, and CEO of Linkly. Today, as Founder and Principal of Manzanita Product Leadership, Malte coaches and advises product and company leaders at both startups and large enterprises. ✨ Huge thanks to Airwallex for hosting us at their Sydney office, Ground Level, 29 Balfour Street, Chippendale! This is a unique opportunity to hear from global product leaders like Shannon and gain unforgettable, one-of-a-kind insights.

Real Growth.** **Date: July 2nd, 2026** **Time: 6:00 PM (90 Minutes)** **Location: Burwood, Sydney** **What's Quietly Slowing Your Growth?** Most business owners know they should be further ahead than they are. More leads are coming in, but follow-up is inconsistent. The team is busy, but progress feels slower than it should. There never seems to be enough time to focus on growth because operational issues, client demands, and day-to-day tasks keep getting in the way. Black Circle is a private, curated discussion for business owners, founders, consultants, and operators who want practical solutions to the challenges that slow business growth. This is not traditional networking. No sales pitches. No awkward introductions. No generic business advice. Just honest conversations with other business owners about what's actually working, what isn't, and where opportunities for improvement exist. ## **This Session: What's Quietly Slowing Your Growth?** **We'll explore common challenges that many growing businesses face:** * Opportunities and leads falling through the cracks * Inconsistent follow-up and accountability * Team members being busy but not always focused on the highest-value work * Communication breakdowns that create unnecessary friction * Business owners spending too much time inside the business rather than growing it * Systems, processes, AI and support structures that improve efficiency and consistency * Practical ways to create more capacity without simply working longer hours ## **You'll Leave With:** ✅ At least one growth bottleneck identified ✅ Practical ideas to improve efficiency and reclaim time ✅ Better visibility on where opportunities may be slipping through the cracks ✅ New perspectives from other business owners facing similar challenges ✅ Actionable improvements you can implement immediately ## **Ideal For:** * Business owners * Founders * Consultants * Agency owners * Professional service firms * Operators and managers * Anyone responsible for growth, performance, and execution **Small room.** **Serious people.** **Practical conversations.** **Real business challenges.**

Decidr x Innova - Where Human Judgment Matters Most in the Age of Agentic AI

Wed, Jul 1, 10:30 PM

From Women in Tech Australia

From Data & Analytics Wednesday Sydney

Innova is hosting our first Women in Tech breakfast in partnership with Decidr. **From Operators to Orchestrators: Where Human Judgment Matters Most in the Age of Agentic AI** As AI continues to reshape how businesses operate, we will discuss where human judgment matters most in the age of agentic AI. AI can draft your documents, summarise meetings, write code, and run workflows. But it can't tell you what's worth building. It doesn't carry the context behind a decision. And it won't be accountable when something goes wrong. This panel gets into the practical reality of that shift: how to redesign teams and ways of working now that machines can handle the execution; where to focus your own time and attention; and how to develop this kind of judgment in the next generation of leaders. * Where human judgment matters most as AI handles execution * Redesigning teams and workflows for the agentic era * Developing judgment in the next generation of leaders * Navigating risk and accountability when AI acts autonomously * Live panel discussion and Q&A We have a limited number of places available for founders and executives, so please reach out to me directly on Linkedin if you would like to attend. Thanks, Marie

[Register via EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/data-analytics-wednesday-july-2026-tickets-1992320517299?aff=oddtdtcreator) **Data mobile app built journey** [Si Sowaddi Aing](https://www.linkedin.com/in/si-sowaddi-a-8914548/), Digital Analyst, Qantas The social media mobile app was born out of a gap in the creator economy: influencers and content creators generate massive amounts of data across social media platforms, they lack the actionable insights needed to truly scale their brands and revenue. The idea was to democratize data, turning raw metrics into a guidance for growth. From hypothesis and built it from the ground up—moving from a conceptual framework to an interactive prototype, and ultimately into a fully functioning production app. Navigating the full product lifecycle meant managing everything from data pipeline integration to user experience design, ensuring the platform could ingest and simplify complex data sets in real time. **Turn it off: the value argument your adoption metrics can't make** [Grant Case](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aieverywhere/), Creator, AI Criticality Index Every analytics team gets the same question at budget time: what is all this worth? Most answer with adoption and usage, the numbers that prove activity, and activity gets cut. There is a second way to measure value: the subtraction test. Turn off the AI, count the days until the work stops, and read it as a single 0-to-100% score. You will leave with a question to ask of your own system, and the start of a value argument that does not rest on contested ROI attribution. One test you can run before you're asked what it's worth. **What's this all about?** On the second Wednesday of every month the digital analytics community gets together for one or two short talks in an informal setting. There's lots of time for open ended discussion and to socialise. Plus there's free drinks! Open to anyone interested in digital analytics, we have people ranging from beginners through to analytics gurus and from marketing through to technical spaces, and everything in between.

One foundation, many possibilities. *Do I need to know anything about AI before I come?* The Build Day moves faster than the 2-hour tasters. We recommend attending at least one June taster first if you're brand new to AI — but it's not required. *Do I need to bring a laptop?* No — WSTI provides a workstation for project activity. Bring your own if you'd like to keep tinkering afterward. *What platform do you use?* We work with Claude Code and Claude Cowork — the same approach can be applied with other Agentic AI tools and platforms too. *Do I need an AI licence to join?* No — WSTI provides everything you need to use during the workshop. *Is lunch included?* Yes. *What's the free 1-hour AI consultation?* After Build Day, every attendee is offered an optional 1-hour follow-up consultation — a chance to talk about your actual business, get personalised guidance, and map out the right next step.

Sydney SEO Collective - Jared Codling (Hacking AI - AEO to AI Ads)

Tue, Jun 30, 8:00 AM

The Sydney SEO Collective is back with our June 2026 meetup — and this one isn't for the faint-hearted. This month, we're thrilled to welcome Jared Codling to the stage for a talk that gets into territory most people only whisper about: "Hacking AI - From AEO to AI Ads." Jared will walk through his live, tested methodology for manipulating ChatGPT results and running AI-generated ads at scale — sharing exactly what works, what doesn't, and which models he's actually using right now. Most practitioners are using these AI tools without really understanding what's going on under the hood. Jared's going to change that. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of how these systems actually make decisions, what signals they respond to, and where the edges are — knowledge that's hard to find anywhere else right now. Jared Codling is Executive VP of Digital Marketing at The Global Gaming League and a growth hacker that's taught over 50,000 students, advised countless startups, and built multiple 7 and 8 figure companies as a founder. He tests first and teaches second — so expect the unfiltered version.

The feedback we've had is that the Collective events have been a great way to meet others in the industry in a relaxed environment and share some tips and hints on what you might know that can help them become a better web marketer or developer. It's about asking those tough questions and getting group consensus on what is the possible implications or complications on a particular method or technique you're thinking of using. We encourage a mix of business owners, web developers, affiliate marketers, SEM and SEO professionals as we all have small tips that will help you perform better online and play smarter. SEO Collective is just a relaxed and informal session on digital and web marketing, come along and meet others in your community no matter if you're a business owner, consultant, in-house or part of a larger agency. ## RSVP now to claim your free ticket!
