    050: Barton Lynch

    Episode 50 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Barton Lynch. Barton Lynch is one right out of the box. A whole lot more than a World Champion surfer. Both a soul surfer and astute competitor. A rebel with a cause. A big mouth with the smarts to back it up. A leader. A big wave surfer and a big hearted humanitarian. Winner of 17 major surf championships and winner of the 1988 World title in big barrels at Pipeline on the Oahu’s North Shore. Barton helped blaze the trail of professional surfing and fought for surfers to have a rightful voice in their sport. His Accolades include, Australian Surfing Hall of Fame, Australian Sporting Hall of Fame, Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame. He had the honour of commentating at the recent Tokyo Olympics, introducing surfing as an Olympic sport to the world.

    049: Ant Middleton

    Episode 49 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Ant Middleton. Ant Middleton joined the Army in UK at age 16, eventually achieving the ‘Holy Trinity’ of the UK’s Elite Forces; the Marines, 9 Parachute Squadron and Special Boat Service and seeing plenty of action with three tours of Afghanistan.  As with many high achievers, whether elite athletes or soldiers, life after the strict discipline and adrenalin charged action can be rather challenging. After leaving the military Ant’s fall from grace was swift and he wound up in prison and hit rock bottom. This lead to a major re-evaluation of his life and Ant set out to build a career and life that his wife Emilie and kids could be proud of. A decade later and Ant has become a much loved master of survival and endurance in the fields of television, publishing and motivational speaking.  Five seasons as chief instructor on UK hit TV series ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’, now shooting the second season of the hit series SAS AUSTRALIA. A trilogy  of memoirs, First Man In, The Fear Bubble and Zero Negativity - delivering 3 UK Sunday Times Number 1 Bestsellers with more than 1.5 million copies sold. Other adventures include climbing Everest and making the documentary Extreme Everest, his thrill-seeking road trip through Mexico with Rebel Wilson in his new series Straight Talking and the brutal re-enactment of ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ for the BBC series. We cover a lot of ground in this intimate conversation, including his forthcoming debut fiction thriller, Cold Justice and Mind Over Muscle, his live speaking tour which has been selling out across the UK, and is now coming to Australian in early 2022 – and much more.  Mind over Muscle tour: www.tegdainty.com Books & more: antmiddleton.com   W: https://theblankcanvaspodcast.com.au/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/leerogers12/   SOCIALS Instagram: @theblankcanvaspodcast Facebook: The Blank Canvas Podcast Twitter: @blankcanvaspod THE BLANK CANVAS TEAM Produced by Lee Rogers & Rien MacDonald/RUKKUS Audio support by Jason Murphy/GASinc Music by Rodrigo Enrique Bustos.

    048: Alex Russell

    Episode 48 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Alex Russell Alex Russell is one of those young actors who’s been quietly, or not so quietly racked up a dozen movie credits; both in Australia and the US. After starring in the acclaimed indie feature Wasted on the Young, he played the lead role in the US science fiction thriller Chronicle, grossing over $126 million. Then starred in re-make of Brian De Palma’s horror classic, Carrie alongside Julianne Moore & Chloe Grace Moretz, Andrew Niccol’s movie The Host, Cut Snake with director Tony Ayres, a role in Angelina Jolie's Academy Award nominated epic Unbroken, Greg McLean’s film Jungle opposite Daniel Radcliffe, Only The Brave with Josh Brolin, Goldstone, with Jacki Weaver. In television, Alex is into the 5th season of global hit drama SWAT, starring as the much loved Jim Street. This is all great but what impressed me most and prompted me to want to have a yak with Alex, is that rather than just cruising along as a successful working actor, he’s pro-actively producing his own projects. His latest micro-budget indie movie UNDER MY SKIN is punching well above it’s weight. Written and Directed by Alex’s regular collaborator Aussie David O’Donnell, and produced by Alex and Raynen O’Keefe. The story follows Denny, a free spirit and artist who falls for Ryan, a strait-laced lawyer, played by Alex. When Denny questions her gender their love is tested.  It’s a powerful film and just won the Alternative Spirit Award at the prestigious Rhode Island International Film Festival and is currently trending on Aussie streaming platform in STAN.  IMBD https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3887625/ IG https://www.instagram.com/alexrussell/   W: https://theblankcanvaspodcast.com.au/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/leerogers12/   SOCIALS Instagram: @theblankcanvaspodcast Facebook: The Blank Canvas Podcast Twitter: @blankcanvaspod THE BLANK CANVAS TEAM Produced by Lee Rogers & Rien MacDonald/RUKKUS Audio support by Jason Murphy/GASinc Music by Rodrigo Enrique Bustos.

    047: Collette Dinnigan

    Episode 47 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Collette Dinnigan. When I think of iconic fashion designers in Australia, one name jumps to mind. Collette Dinnigan. Collette cut the patterns of her first lingerie collection and sewed the pieces together at home. After knock backs from Australian stores, she went straight to the top, Barney’s NYC. Cindy Crawford was the first customer and before long the international fashion press and buyers were red hot for this new designer from down under. She became the first Australian fashion designer to mount a full-scale ready-to-wear collection in Paris and has shown within the prestigious Paris Fashion Week schedule, an impressive 33 times. Collette’s work has appeared in film and television and has been worn by fashion icons worldwide including Madonna, J Lo, Duchess of Cambridge, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock and Beyoncé. Accolades include Australian Designer of the Year Award, Leading Women Entrepreneurs of the World Award, Louis Vuitton Business Award in 97 and in 2017 was awarded the Order of Australia, for her services to fashion. Over the past decade, Collette has broadened her design work to interior spaces for herself, private clients and hotels, and she has maintained collaborator and ambassador roles with a handful of prestigious brands. Most recently Collette has jumped out of her comfort zone, with Network 10’s Celebrity Masterchef. This an opportunity for Collette to showcase her passion for cooking and entertaining, and I can tell you, her talent definitely extends to the culinary world! Articulate and insightful, this long-form conversation offers a rare insight into a genuine creative force of nature. https://collettedinnigan.com/ https://www.instagram.com/collettedinnigan/ https://www.facebook.com/ColletteDinnigan   W: https://theblankcanvaspodcast.com.au/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/leerogers12/   SOCIALS Instagram: @theblankcanvaspodcast Facebook: The Blank Canvas Podcast Twitter: @blankcanvaspod THE BLANK CANVAS TEAM Produced by Lee Rogers & Rien MacDonald/RUKKUS Audio support by Jason Murphy/GASinc Music by Rodrigo Enrique Bustos.

Achieving success in California in the 70’s riding for the legendary Yoshimura team, Keith found he had an aptitude for analysing and communicating the techniques required to carry speed through a corner. Under Keith’s instruction, many a racer dramatically reduced their lap times. Encouraged by this success, Keith began his pioneering one-on-one courses in 1976. Distilling his theories onto paper and creating a numerous practical drills, Keith wrote his first book, Twist of the Wrist, to this day it’s the world's number one instruction manual for the motorcycle rider. In 1980, Keith established a school to offer his unique training to anyone with a motorcycle license. Four decades later, California Superbike School has become synonymous with sport-bike training, with schools in the USA, UK and Australia.

    Episode 45 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Tim Olsen. The first episode to kick off the 2nd year of The Blank Canvas, offers a remarkable insiders view of the art world. Tim Olsen is one of Australia's most respected art identities and successful gallery owners. As the son of Australia’s greatest living painter, John Olsen, Tim has lead a fascinating life. His recent best selling memoir SON OF A BRUSH is a revelation, it sheds extraordinary light on one of our most acclaimed artistic families.

Through his galleries and other philanthropic work, Tim has nurtured and supported the careers of many of Australia's leading artists. This is a broad ranging chat and Tim recounts great stories of his time with likes of Brett Whitely and Robert Hughes, the revered author and art critic.
