  • Ep 176 Dr Karl Kruszelnicki - A Periodic Tale

    Ep 176 Dr Karl Kruszelnicki - A Periodic Tale
    Nov 25 2024
    Dr Karl is best known here in Australia for his ability to make science not only accessible, but engaging and fascinating, He’s been a staple in our media landscape from his early days on Triple J, to his multiple podcasts, books, and extensive media presence - a true science story-teller. With the launch of his memoir ‘A Periodic Tale’ we explore in this conversation his early years as the only child of Holocaust survives who fled to Australia in 1950. He then described undertaking a convoluted cacophony of a career. From working as a physicist in a steelworks, to racing modified rally cars, his drug-crazed hippie years in Papau New Guinea, to training as a medical Dr off the back of an off-handed comment that Dr Fred Hollows said to him once. After he applied to be a NASA astronaut in the 1980s and 'failed', he ended up live broadcasting the first space shuttle launch on Triple J instead. Unexpectedly, that blasted off his media career, and from there it was a stratospheric rise from radio to TV, books, newspapers, speaking, podcasts and the internet. You will hear from this conversation a little about how Dr Karl’s brain works - he has an insatiable curiosity that continues to drive pure wonder and awe. Actually he teaches us all that you don’t have to know the answers, as long as you continue to ask questions. This conversation is one worth holding onto, and allowing it to ignite your own curiosity. And I can thoroughly recommend Dr Karl’s memoir ‘A Periodic Tale’ to absorb more of his wisdom and experiences.

    Ep 175 Talitha Cummins - Built on Courage
    Sep 8 2024
    The decision to step away from a 20 year career and embark on a new endeavour is one that requires courage. Talitha Cummins is one of Australia’s most famous TV journalists having worked for Channel 7 across the span of 20 years. She has also led conversations about sobriety which saw her featured on The Australian Story, the cover of Stellar and Australian Women’s Weekly. Talitha recently decided to step away from news reading and return to where she started, which was in the jewellery business. Her Uncle Craig has been a jeweller for over 50 years. Talitha worked in the space over 20 years ago before she went into reporting. The Cut Jewellery is a new Australian jewellery brand that offers a taste of ethical luxury with its bespoke range of lab-grown diamonds. Despite launching only a month ago, their designs have already been worn on red carpets by the likes of Sylvia Jeffries and Edwina Bartholomew. We chat about the decision behind the career change, what Talitha is learning and loving in this new role, and unpack what exactly are lab-grown diamonds. This is a down-to-earth conversation with the real and courageous Talitha Cummins.

  • Ep 174 Luke McLeod - Everyday Enlightenment

    Ep 174 Luke McLeod - Everyday Enlightenment
    Aug 27 2024
    Mindfulness, enlightenment, inner-peace. If you are anything like me you might hear these words and glaze over a little bit. Seriously who’s got time for that - and does it even make any difference? Today’s guest is going to help me (and maybe you) sit with these terms a little longer and explore why they might be useful. Luke McLeod has become one of Australia’s most popular thought leaders and practitioners in mindfulness and meditation, having trained in these practices for over two decades. But he didn’t arrive on these through wanting to chase calm - he started to explore these as high performance tools. You may also remember Luke from the 2017 season of The Bachlorette here in Australia. His day-job though is teaching meditation practices to support those navigating overwhelm, anxiety, and wanting to drive higher performance. Luke is the founder of The Mindful Life App, Soul Alive, with thousands of members worldwide and the author of his book released this year, Everyday Enlightenment. Bring your curiosity to the forefront as we explore meditation and mindfulness with Luke McLeod.
