We were recently invited to join Podcast Hosts - Jay and Nicky Turner Laguna Pest Control and what a great conversation it turned out to be.

Joel shared 35 years of business and insurance knowledge (keep an eye on the comments 👇)

We all know Jay and Nicky for their award-winning business and leadership in the industry, but what you might not know is their passion project—“Rescue Honey” 🍯 🐝

In an industry known for eliminating pests, Laguna Pest Control take a completely different approach when it comes to bees — carefully relocating hives and protecting these incredibly important pollinators rather than destroying them.

And the honey? It’s the result of that process… and honestly, it is absolutely delicious.

It’s just one example of their broader eco-friendly approach — thoughtful, sustainable, and genuinely committed to doing things differently.

If you’re curious to learn more about what they do, it’s well worth a look: https://lagunapestcontrol.com.au/

Such a special way to have your own little piece of Noosa…

Paul is closing his gallery, so it’s a pretty special time to pop in—he’s open all day tomorrow 📸

Which would you choose? (It’s hard!!!)

End of the convention sessions at Steadfast Convention 2026 with the incredibly inspiring Sam Bloom.

Strength in every image—but behind it, a story of darkness, heartbreak and extraordinary resilience. After a life-changing fall in Thailand in front of her young family, she faced feeling completely broken—physically and mentally—yet found a way forward with gratitude… with a little help from a cheeky magpie called Penguin.

From that place to becoming a world champion para surfer, winning gold, authoring a best-selling book, and now competing in Byron this week—truly remarkable.

“You can hate what happened, feel broken, and still be incredibly grateful.”

One of my favourite quotes from today:
“Whether it’s wings, wheels or water—you can move forward.”

A powerful reminder to keep going, no matter what.

Jelena Dokic ✨

Jelena Dokic’s keynote challenges us to go beyond what we believe our self‑belief and self‑worth allow.

By finding and owning a voice, Jelena Dokic turned personal strength into purpose — using that power to advocate for resilience, mental health, and truth.
This is about taking that belief into your day.

How you show up.
How you value yourself.
And how far you allow yourself to go.

To appreciate where we’re going, we must first honour where we’ve come from.

Tonight we celebrate 70 years of Olympic legacy on the Sunshine Coast, recognising the athletes whose dedication and perseverance helped shape our region’s sporting pride.

While Dawn Fraser was unable to attend as she is in Adelaide, it was a privilege to hear from and acknowledge Olympians Bryan Harper, Warren Moore, Ted Pierce, Hayden Kenny, Graeme Sherman and Jim Achurch. We also pause to respectfully acknowledge the recent passing of Robyn Nock, whose Olympic legacy remains part of the history we honour.

Brilliantly guided by Ian Jobling, with Benny Pike’s entertaining interviewing skills bringing out some wonderful stories.

Huge credit to the Sunshine Coast Olympic Taskforce for bringing together 70 years of Sunshine Coast Olympic pride.

When we respect our origins, we strengthen the path for the generations to come.
