Developing Deep Resilience to Face Today's Challenges

Picture
Melli O’Brien wrote ‘Deep Resilience: A Four-Step Journey to Unshakable Inner Strength,’ giving us a step-by-step guide to navigating life’s challenges. The book is for those who might feel overwhelmed by life’s whirlwind pace, crave calm, and seek the strength to build confidence. In 2025, Mindful magazine named Melli one of the most powerful women in the mindfulness movement. Melli's journey has not been easy; she has experienced the loss of two family members and a divorce, and when she lost another family member while running a business, each blow took a toll on her, leading to physical and mental symptoms that resulted in chronic illness. However, this challenging period ultimately brought about significant insights for Melli.

​A Life From the Comanchero & Pentridge to the Corporate Boardroom

Picture
​Jay Malkoun served 10 years for heroin trafficking, was the president of the feared Comancheros motorcycle gang, and in March 2019, a car bomb outside a gym in Athens detonated the Mercedes he was sitting in. It was an explosion heard around the world as global media, law enforcement agencies, and underworld cartels speculated on who had moved to assassinate the former gangster and retired leader of one of the world's most feared and powerful underworld organisations. Here, Jay tells his story. He truly is one of the most fascinating and complex figures that Australia has ever given the underworld.
