    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. The Helpmann Academy runs a Creative Innovator Program that connects creative people to learning and mentoring to push them in a constructive direction, something that has helped Tim immensely in his journey so far. 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.

    Both David and Tim have been on a bit of a boot bent, researching, watching reviews, buying quality leather boots, and generally nerding out about quality-made things. David stumbled across an incredible boot called the Parkhurst Allen, which quickly turned into a quest to buy another Parkhurst boot. David speaks with Andrew Svisco from Parkhurst Brand about changing careers, making high-quality boots, and pivoting a young company in the midst of a pandemic.

    Christian Cameron is a fiction novelist who has captivated David's imagination with his experiential descriptive writing in the genres of Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Thriller, and Science Fiction.

    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.
