Well, I Looove to talk and I Looooooove to draw. So I thought why not combine them both into a podcast where I reimagine the interviews into illustrations. It will be fun to pull out one snippet or one overarching theme to create a personalized illustration after the interview is completed. It really gets my juices flowing to hear how everyone has taken on this crazy world in their own unique way. I want to hear all of the crazy shenanigans, big and small decisions that were made, and how people have overcome obstacles in their lives. I want us to have a good yarn, some laughs, and hopefully learn something. Perhaps we might even add a tool to our own life arsenal. Episodes Launch Wednesdays, Perth time.

Through Emily's fresh perspective, viewers gain insight into skateboarding culture's peculiar rituals that seasoned skaters take for granted.The conversation explores how skateboarding's unique mindset shapes character and decision-making. "I don't know that there's any other facet of my life where I have attempted something hundreds of times and failed," Ryan reflects, explaining how this perseverance transferred to his career building a cannabis data analytics company and navigating major life transitions. His story demonstrates how the determination to get back up after falling becomes a powerful life philosophy.Ryan's approach to risk—whether in business, relationships, or extreme sports—centers around process mastery rather than reckless abandon. A harrowing story about parachute line twists inside a cloud illustrates his thoughtful relationship with danger, where respect for risk leads to better preparation rather than fear-based avoidance. For anyone looking to push their boundaries while staying grounded, Ryan's journey offers a masterclass in calculated adventuring.Ready to explore the unexpected wisdom that comes from falling a thousand times, only to get up and try again?

Wow! What an episode. When you put Liam's line of " I know we shouldn't do it but that doesn't mean we can't do it" into the context of a sweet cheeky inner kid that has a lust for fun and adventure you'll get the feel for this podcast. Liam takes us to his first job interview which is more mysterious than a blind date, on a his impromptu solo bike trip through China and Mongolia and the way he burned the candle at both ends to be with his girlfriend (now wife) by flying back and forth from Tasmania to London. His willingness to say yes in the moment is truely incredible.Let's dig in.
