| 3/13/24 |  Innovators are Built by Community and Mentors (Special guest Jane MacFarlane) | Developing a life on a non-linear path such as working as a creative takes more than skill, it takes guidance and community - something that can easily be missed for early career artists.

Jane MacFarlane, CEO of the Helpmann Academy talks to Tim and David to discuss the importance of community and mentoring in creative and divergent careers.This is our first episode using AI editing.

| 4/26/23 | PSA - AUKUS Submarines Explained | The AUKUS Submarine deal has been announced for a short while and very little sense has been made of it in the public sphere. The $368 billion sum is scary to many people and has also invited very poor commentary from political and media voices. Peter and Tim quiz David on all you need to know to be a submarine expert, giving you the Who, What, Where, Why, and How of the deal along with enough rhetoric to take Paul Keating to the task.If you have any thoughts or questions on how to flourish and contribute to your community, contact us and send us an audio clip at [email protected] to work with David?

| 3/12/23 | Blind Insights - The Examined Life (Special guest Peter Quarry) | "If I Were You: A Psychologist Puts Himself on the Couch" by Peter Quarry is a 'psychological memoir' that captured the imagination of Tim in early 2023. Joining David and Tim in this episode is the author of a book that effectively exemplifies the response to the Socratic phrase: "The unexamined life is not worth living." Peter describes his fascinating life in his book through a series of letters, comparable to that of Marcus Aurelius. In the tradition of a Socratic dialogue, Tim and David ask curious questions about the origins and best practices of a life review and talk to Peter about his learnings from writing the book.If you have any thoughts or questions on how to flourish and contribute to your community, contact us and send us an audio clip at [email protected] to work with David?
