Discover Talks Neil Burmester

I had the absolute pleasure to chat with Joel Ramirez and chat about his new book "Better Together"! We chat about all things business, start ups, loneliness and not knowing what to do next with your ideas. I hope you get as much out our chat as I did.

An absolute honour and pleasure to sit down and chat all things business, Japanese magazines and how a trip to Japan inspired an incredible homeware store focused around quality, slow made goods. Tara's perspective on business is electric. Her approach to ideas is purposeful and immediate. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! In this episode, I had the pleasure to sit down and chat with Ian Morgan. Ian's an ultra runner, who found running in his late 40's! Ian's zest for life and hunger for adventure has seen him travel the world both on planes and on foot. In this chat we cover some of Ian's most inspiring moments, from selling all his possessions to travel the globe to meeting his wife through a join love for running! 

In this episode of Discover Talks, I sat down with David Stanely, an incredibly talented game designer, and all-round creative being. David shares the story of how a forgotten sketch turned into Konami published game "Skelattack", now available around the world. The beauty of Skelattack is that it's not just another game but an expression of universal creativity. Enjoy!

In the fifth episode of Discover Talks, I sit down with long-time pal Jodia Natapradja. Co-founder, owner, and creative master of Sydney Romantics; a Sydney-based label focused on local collaboration and slow made design. Jodia has been pioneering design since he was just 20 years old, working with brands such as Insight, Ksubi and Deus Ex Machina. He is now working across multiple global brands like Camilla, Hayden Shapes and The Woolmark Company. 

In this episode of Discover Talks we chat with Gary Mannion, owner and founder of Little Bit of Japan, an Instagram store celebrating Japanese motorsport & cultural rarities. Gary, originally from Ireland, has lived  in and out of Japan for the past 10 years but has travelled around the world. He started Little Bit of Japan when he noticed people from other countries asking him to find products specific to Japan for them. He noticed it made them happy and he could make a side income from doing it, and so Little Bit of Japan was born.
