Clayton chatted with Hilda John, who has been serving vulnerable communities through DAIA (Development Association for Integrated Activity) since its inception in 2002. With a professional background as a civil engineer in India, she stepped away from a successful technical career to pursue her true calling, serving people in need, bringing a wealth of leadership, professional expertise, and deep compassion for low socio-economic communities.

DAIA was founded in 2002 by her father, Mr. Gell Joseph. The organisation emerged from his vision to empower and support disadvantaged communities in Tamil Nadu. What began as simple medical camps gradually grew into a broader mission. Initially focused on supporting individuals living with HIV/AIDS, DAIA has since expanded significantly to address critical needs such as literacy, education, and women’s empowerment.

Clayton chatted to Lauren Novak (an award-winning journalist) specialising in coverage of education, parenting, family violence and child safety. But, it was her personal journey of understanding why motherhood causes havoc with your life that led her to write the book Meltdown: Why motherhood makes us angry and what to do about it. Clayton and Lauren talk through the discoveries, the reserach and the opportunities of this period of time.

Clayton chatted to singer, songwriter Bay Turner, whose love for music was first ignited by a gas station mixtape he’d listen to from the passenger seat to and from his dad’s house. Turner’s parents divorced when he was an infant, and when his father moved out to the Texas Hill Country, his weekends were always bookended by a car ride with his dad, which imporved and ignited his love of music.
Clayton and Bay also talk about Bay's botched surgery that meant he would never be able to sing again until a miracle happened.
