    Interview - Jez Watts - Comedian

    Jez talks about being a comedian, what it takes, what it means and how you do it. My favourite quote of the episode is "Less experienced comics are, are, are really actively learning from older comedians, more experienced comedians, sometimes to their detriment. Like, a lot of people will have an instinct of like, "Oh, I want someone to tell me how to do this," right? And that ends up becoming this blind alley of growth because, a more experienced comedian can only teach you how to be a worse version of them, and then ultimately you actually have to find your own path. And there's all infinite variation in comedy, and then what works for you will be different than what works for someone else. And so almost everyone who starts is, like, begging, 'cause it hurts so much to bomb on stage, they are begging people who don't bomb or don't bomb as much, right? 'Cause u-ultimately you should bomb to be growing." https://jezwatts.com https://linktr.ee/jezwatts https://www.instagram.com/jezwattscomedy https://www.youtube.com/@jezwattscomedy https://www.tiktok.com/@jezwattscomedy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73a97L8C8E - Jez Watts: White-Rice Supreme | FULL COMEDY SPECIAL

    Interview - Tony Tucknott - Mountain Bike Course Design

    Tony talks about Mountain Bike Course Design, what it takes, what it means and how you do it. My favourite quote of the episode is "Typically by the time the event's come around you've put so much work into it, you know, you're kinda thinking, "Wow, is this all worth it?" You know, by the time you get there. But then when you see the riders on the day and it all comes together on the day and you see how much it means to the riders, you know, to anyone there. Whether they're doing it for the first time or whether they're there for the 18th time, you know. Whether they're doing the 20K, the 40, the 70 this year or the 100, you know, everyone's still putting in the same amount of effort, and regardless of the distance they're doing and they're still getting that, reward for their efforts. And yes, when you see the riders enjoy it and what they get out of it, that's what makes it worthwhile for us as event organizers." https://www.theeventteam.com.au/d100 Dwellingup 100 https://www.perthmtb.asn.au/ Perth Mountain Bike Club https://ridewithgps.com/ Ride with GPS https://www.volcanicepic.co.nz/ Volcanic Epic NZ https://wpfg2027.com/ 2027 World Police & Fire Games

It's, look, what, what do they say? If you've got a job that you love, you'll never do a hard day's work in your life. And that's the way I. And, and look, it's, it's, it's lovely to get the accolades too. When people come in. It's nice to people to walk in and say, I visited, wow. And that was the main thing that I wanted was the wow factor. Very important." https://www.featuredwoodgallery.com.au

My favourite quote of the episode is "It's like a family, with so many different people that, yeah, and they're all, they're all happy to support you and I just love going and seeing all my friends that I'll probably have never met if I hadn't not gone to parkrun. That's incredible, you show up at parkrun, and can you. Pretty much you got 300 different friends then. Yeah, that's it. Conversation And then you see them down the street and you stop and have a conversation with them. And it's like, how do you know them? Oh, from parkrun?  Don't know anything about them,  like history wise or whatever, they work wise, but I know they're parkrun and we can have a full on conversation because we know each other. It's, you know, they're just your other friends, so you only see them once a week, but, they're your friends."

    Interview - Gabby Holt - Imperfect Painter

    Gabby talks about being the Imperfect Painter, what it takes, what it means and how you do it. My favourite quote of the episode is "Lots, lots of everything. A lot of persistence. That's I think, the most important thing actually. As I'm sure any artist or any small business owner knows, it's not always  steady.  It goes up and down, and the downs can be very down and the ups can be very high, but  you need to just keep going. So there has been many times in my Imperfect Painter life where I have wanted to give up and I've come very close to giving up.  The most important thing was just to keep going.  Someone told me a few years ago to push yourself just past the point that you think you can take. When you, you get to the point where you think it's unbearable, just push yourself that little bit further, and that's been a very valuable life lesson." https://www.imperfectpainter.com/
