Joy talks about discoveries she's made immersed in social media and digital tech for the last 6 years. What makes us unique to the millions out there on social platforms and what drives her to produce Nerds of Joy sharing thoughts, ideas and important voices.   She explores the brevity of our lives, how we will be remembered and choosing action for good plus the ways social media has been designed to tame and shame us for engagement and that we are the unpaid digital workers whose data, creativity, ideas and very essence of what it is to be human has been stolen, regurgitated and sold back to us. Who are your mentors, what action could you take today, how might you stretch your thinking and share your curated message with the world? A good tonic for the end of year or to recalibrate for the new. Music: Twinmusicom Join My Newsletter Joy's Instagram Buy Me A Coffee Joy's Website

Claiming your creative worth takes a sure footedness that can only come from doing parts of it, bit by bit and a knowing that it will work out in the end. It is a modality, a training, a skill cultivated overtime that strengthens with great mentors and tutors. "Will they be able to sustain life as artists or will their inherent talent and dedication to craft be even acknowledged and remunerated when a machine can spit out similar pictures in a heartbeat. Will their songwriting be ever heard due to the algorithm and ways the platforms are setup; less for the artist." Never give up on your creativity. I think it takes a special someone to value creativity that can imbue it into all their works. Enjoy this episode and share it with a friend that needs to hear it.

I've been part of the judging team for this year's Australian Podcast Awards and it has been an honour to filter the entrants. I'm so excited to see who's out there in our local podcast world and vetting candidates, to ultimately decide who becomes a nominee.

Your authentic voice matters. Check in to this episode and discover how I can help you to be seen and heard today. Even if you are quiet like a church mouse!

Why do we have so much fear showing up and feel compelled to hide behind avatars. On digital platforms, why do people desire to be a thought leader or speaker but have to use hype reels and highly edited video to deliver concise information, as they build an audience. How do we make it fun for the listener and include them? Can we show up as ourselves, as we strive to be business leaders, fake or real influencers - eager to hack the algorithm and claw for attention.  Lay some digital easter eggs - people want to find you.

Joy speaks with Shawn Smith, about chronic disease, his double lung transplants, setting goals with complex health planning and how to stay optimistic. If health is our wealth then a focussed conversation like this will help you navigate your life challenges with determination and advocacy.  Shawn's pulmonary issues started in 1985 when he was 15 years old, was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome, and spent six months at Children's Hospital in Seattle where he suffered a stroke and paralysis. As an adult Shawn was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease - a diagnosis that generally has a 3 to 5 year lifespan and with other conditions spent 20 years oxygen dependant. Shawn was in need of a transplant.  What happens when the body starts to reject these life saving lungs and you are told that you require another set of double lungs?  A really impactful episode that explores the power of tenacity, patience, gratitude and self care.
