838. Fearlessly Failing: Australia House @ SXSW

About this episode

This episode features discussions with influential thinkers at Australia House during SXSW, focusing on technology, community, and motivation.

It's an honour to host the Australia House @ SXSW podcast! Brought to you by the American Australian Association! Today's episode is all about BIG THINKERS: First up we have Denis Skrinnikoff, the Chief Technology Officer of IREN, I learnt so much from Denis not just about the future of tech and AI but also about IRENs sustainable large scale data centres. Denis inspired me to lean into the future of AI and to grow with it, instead of fearing it. Next up is Steven Marshall AO, President of the American Australian Association. What a brilliant human and voice. We talked about his role at the American Australian Association, his time as the former premier for South Australia, and the Port Adelaide AFL footy team of course! Jason Brushe from Nvidia (now the biggest company in the world) was like sitting down with my own personal motivational coach, he's a straight up human, and I love what i love most about Aussies. What you see is what you get with Jason. He will inspire you to stay curios, fail forward, and to move fast. Andy Stone is the Chief Brand and Culture Officer at the iconic Bluestone Lane Coffee and Old Mates Pub in NYC. He's a total go-getter! He'll have you…
