Dr Jason Fox Part 2
Dr Jason Fox returns to the podcast for a second time, sharing ways we can make habits and rituals for meaningful progress in a milieu that rewards us for busyness.
Carmen Hawker
While I thought I may talk about them in separate episodes, I did not consider that I may talk to a guest about feminism and football in the same episode. After spending an hour with Carmen Hawker, I am even more inspired by what gender equality and gender liberation could bring to the game I love, let alone the broader society within which I live.
Jimmy Ferne
Something is starting to shift. Little pockets are springing up where men are able to show up as they are, talk freely about how they feel, and connect with other men doing the same.
Kate Challis
Design is all around us and impacts our mood, wellbeing and feelings whether we know it or not. Kate is on a mission to help us all be better designers and to be true to ourselves as we create the places within which we work and live.
Adrian Medhurst
Developing the mindset and tools to sustain our wellbeing and performance in an era of stress and busyness.
Matt Wicking
Understanding and accepting ourselves as individuals and as a species; and understanding where we are in space, time, history, biology and ecology: for me these are two of the most important subtle disruptions we can make in our own lives, and two things of which this week's guest is an exemplar.
Christina Douglas
The little caravan, and little shop, that is a place for people to gather, make, connect and be heard.
Gus Hervey
Finally, the topic I have been avoiding some time: the disruption brought about through science and technology. Gus talks specifically about how we can harness it as a force that helps those most in need, using it to enable life to thrive on this planet, and how to build a movement around this quest through conditional optimism.
Matt Jackson
The cross-over, or overlap, between art and business is dicey territory. It is this borderland that this week's guest seems to have been playing in his whole life.
Mark Daniels
What could the benefits be if a small portion of Australia's $500B procurement spend was redirected to social enterprises? Mark Daniels talks us through one remarkable example, and where this conversation is headed over the next 5-10 years.
Karen Ellis
This week's guest talks about the joys of living a frugal life, reusing and upcycling the things that the rest of us discard.
Eyal Matsliah
The links between sexuality, creativity, expression and accessing our full potential are brought together by this week's guest.
Kate Dundas
Growing our own food makes us more likely to eat healthily, be aware of our food system, and to get those happiness inducing soil microbes onto our fingers. In a city that becomes more densely populated by the day, where do we find the land to grow this food?
Mykel Dixon
This Melbourne maverick reveals the most important skill for us to develop in an age of unprecedented uncertainty and disruption.
Amantha Imber
Innovation is something that everyone seems to be doing at the moment. But what constitutes innovation? Can it be taught? And is there a science and method behind it?
Georgia Clarke-Edwards
This Melbourne cafe is my new favourite, and it is changing the way people think about eating. If I was to make a prediction it would be that in a couple of years time there will be 10s of cafes around Melbourne modelling themselves on this one.
Alvaro Maz
Creating platforms that provide a strong footing for others to bring their ideas to life is at the heart of Alvaro Maz's two ventures: Creative Suburbs and Code for Australia.
Sigrid McCarthy
Not many of us take a moment to consider how and where our clothes were made when we purchase them or put them on each morning. For Sigi it was these types of musings that led her to devoting her working life to creating consciousness in the way in which we all relate to fashion.
Cameron Elliott
Questions like 'What is the secular equivalent of a church pastor?' and 'What would an inclusive, mystery exploring alternative to religion look like today?' prompted this week's guest to create an inclusive weekly service that crowd-sources wisdom to explore the wonder of existence.
Eric Agyeman
Eric Agyeman has some excuses at his disposal. As a six year-old his family moved to New Zealand from Ghana, as an eleven year-old to Melbourne, and as a fifteen year-old was sent on a seven-year ordeal back home to Ghana.
