This week on the Q&A with S&A podcast… 🎙️

In this episode of Q&A with S&A, Andrea sits down with Brent Szalay and Josh Vanderloo from Leaders In Business, to unpack the evolving world of business advisory.

From a chance friendship formed through their kids’ sporting teams to building a fast-growing advisory platform together, Brent and Josh share how their backgrounds in accounting, AFL strategy and leadership helped redefine their approach to business support.

Through parallels between sports and business, they touch upon the power of accountability and connection, the growing need for strategic advisory in small businesses, and why businesses owners now expect more than tax and compliance support.

The future of accounting? It's not just crunching numbers.

Better questions. Stronger leadership. Meaningful impact. 💪

This week on the Q&A with S&A podcast… 🎙️

In this episode of Q&A with S&A, Shane and Andrea sit down with Jane Stewart, co-founder of It’s the Little Things Community, a Melbourne-based organisation providing home-style meals and acts of kindness to vulnerable community members.

From supporting domestic violence survivors, to helping families with seriously ill children and those experiencing homelessness, Jane shares the inspiration behind starting the organisation, the power of connection, and how simple acts of kindness can have a life-changing impact.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that meaningful change doesn’t always come from grand gestures; sometimes it starts with the little things.
