Conversations to inspire creation. While I'm not a successful public figure or seasoned interviewer, I'm like you - we're figuring out how to build an incredible career, whatever that means, and do more of what we're passionate about. Through these casual but thoughtful conversations, you'll hear from people who've built exceptional art, brands, and businesses. Ultimately, we'll both: Unlock more creativity, challenge what’s possible within our own careers, and spark more hunger to have a crack at what we're truly passionate about. Enjoy!

    #14 - William Trubridge: World Champion Freediver ‘The Deepest Human’ on Overcoming Fear & Reaching 102m/335ft Deep

    William Trubridge is an 18-time world record and 6-time world champion Freediver, holding the current world record in his discipline - 102m/335ft and back on one breath, in the ocean, with no fins, and no touching the rope. There’s likely no sport in the world that demands the same set of physical and particularly mental skills as freediving. To pull off these deep dives, William’s essentially developed a mastery over what he calls our mental immune system, which relates to our ability to remain calm under pressure, stress, and fear. As a keynote speaker, William talks of how he neutralises stress and fear in his deepest dives; of how to go 'below the surface' of consciousness to access our intuition and creativity; and many more topics. On top of all that, he's a father of two and the founder of Vertical Blue, the most prestigious freediving event in the world, held annually at Dean's Blue Hole, Long Island, Bahamas. Plenty of gems in this one team. Enjoy!

    #13 - Elaine Li: Award-Winning Creative Director & Photographer on Building Creative Confidence & Finding Your Voice

    Elaine Li is an incredible Creative Director and Photographer in Sydney, whose amassed multiple awards and almost 250,000 followers. Today's chat with her is one of the very first episodes I recorded, and one that I'd been looking forward to for a long time. Since I first got into photography, I’ve been such a fan of Elaine work. On top of her talent, she's also simply an extremely lovely person who really cares about helping young creatives. She even gave a chunk of her time to have a coffee with me when I was visited Hong Kong 6 years ago, even though she had absolutely no reason to do so. This one’s a chill early episode with some solid creative gems. Hope you manage to take something away from it. Check out Elaine on Instagram: @lielaine

    Three Questions For You

    Just a quick one today team - three questions which have been on my mind lately for you to think about. It turns out weekly interviews aren't easy to keep up solo on top of a full time job, but I'll have the next one for you next Monday and then fortnightly from there. Thanks so much for all the love so far, team! Truly appreciate you.
