FiliMazzi Newsletter
Welcome to our new look Newsletter that provides our insights and thoughts for your contemplation and action.
We chose the word Filimazzi, a Greek word that means fili (friends) and mazzi (together). Thus, our newsletter Filimazzi, Friends Together is for you as our friends in business.
Welcome to the Exemplar “Friends Together in Business” Newsletter.
Our theme will always be about topical current subjects that will invite you to grab and take further into your business and you personally in your mind, your body and your spirit.
Our corporate colours are blue and green which for us symbolises freshness, openness, freedom and love. I have shared with you some photos we took while walking on the Sculpture By The Sea walking track:
A couple of weeks ago
I took time out to visit Sculpture By The Sea…a breath of fresh air!!
The message delivered by the artist expresses freedom of thought in a most picturesque open airy environment of Bondi Australia. Some examples of love, ambition and time out for yourself. All following photos are from the Sculptures by the Sea.
Your Peaceful Moment
Life today essentially requires the love of yourself that is expressed in your mind, your body and your spirit
I leave these Questions that you should ask yourself….
- When was the last time you took-time out for yourself?
- Do you tune out with your own quiet peaceful moments?
- Do you feed your body regularly with balanced proportions of food and water?
- Do you exercise regularly?
Peaceful me and my meditation
Reduce the stress in you and your environment, no matter what your age is. Regular exercise, stretching, yoga, meditation and Ayurveda will change your life. We are more than happy to have a chat in total privacy.
Financial Planning and AI
The future of financial planning in Australia is shifting as AI-powered robots begin to assist in guiding millions of retirees. Companies like PrimeSolve https://www.primesolve.com.au/, led by Tim Hall https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhallprimesolve/, are using AI to create personalized financial plans, often with human avatars that can explain the details. Hall envisions AI playing a larger role, making advice accessible to more Australians, especially as 80% currently go without financial advice.
The financial advice industry faces challenges, including declining adviser numbers and trust deficits following past misconduct scandals. AI has the potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs but is not expected to fully replace human advisers. Experts like Mathew Cassidy of Partners Wealth Group (PWG) argue that retirement planning requires a human touch to address emotions and complex decisions.
While AI may streamline processes and make financial advice more affordable, particularly for those with limited wealth, experts agree that human guidance remains essential for significant financial decisions

Technology detox
Waverley College, a private all-boys school, recently conducted a “tech detox” by banning laptops and devices in classrooms for five days. Students used hard copy textbooks, wrote notes by hand, and drafted essays without screens. The experiment aimed to enhance study habits, focus, and overall well-being. Deputy principal Lynsey Porter said the initiative received 91% staff approval and is being considered for regular integration.
Students found benefits like fewer distractions and improved memory through handwriting but noted challenges for tasks requiring extensive editing. The global trend of high screen use in Australian schools has raised concerns about its impact on academic performance. Education experts and schools like Cranbrook and Sydney Grammar are exploring alternatives, emphasizing handwriting’s role in boosting memory and understanding.
Reaching for the stars……nothing is impossible
We can show you how to Tech Detox in your office half a day a week. You will maintain productivity and hold onto your staff.
Nostalgia and Innovation in Business
Nostalgia has become a powerful tool in modern business, as companies increasingly tap into consumers’ emotional connections to the past. By invoking nostalgia, brands can evoke positive memories and feelings, creating a sense of comfort and familiarity that appeals to consumers’ desire for simpler or more idealized times. This can be particularly effective in industries like food, fashion, and entertainment, where relaunching retro products, rebranding with vintage aesthetics, or reviving iconic logos can resonate deeply with audiences. Nostalgia marketing plays on the emotional bond people have with the past, fostering brand loyalty and driving sales by connecting on a personal, sentimental level.
In a broader sense, nostalgia also allows businesses to differentiate themselves in a crowded market by offering more than just products or services—by offering an experience that taps into deeper emotional needs.
Nostalgia represents the past which is the foundation of the future. Innovation requires change which incorporates past experience.
