Matt and Scott take a leaf out of the NoLayingUp playbook and map out some personal goals for the year ahead. Golf, health, personal development – all bases covered. And some golf chat thrown in there amongst all the good intentions. We hope this inspires listeners to reflect on the last year, and perhaps set some targets for the coming twelve months. Australian Golf Passport podcast is brought to you by Angus And Grace Go Golfing and Burnley Brewing. Matt has been rocking the AAGGG shorts in what is peak summer golf weather – one look at these and you'll need to own a pair of these shorts too. They're super fashionable, and fit beautifully. They come in a great range of colours, and pair brilliantly with the three button pocket polo. Visit the Angus and Grace Go Golfing website, Instagram page, or bricks and mortar store (Sydney), and get your hands on some of the best golf apparel in the world, before it all sells out. Burnley Brewing are back in the swing of things in 2024 – reinstating Trivia Tuesday at their tap room – situated at 648-650 Bridge Road Richmond.

Two guests. No time to waste. This conversation is all about unlocking creativity, what holds us back, what can propel us forward and what we would tell our 15 year old selves if given the chance now. Elliot Kotek is a shockingly humble creative legend with 7 Emmy nominations, 5 Cannes Lions, 2 Clios, multiple Webby honors and the Shortys' Audience Award for Best Brand Awareness Campaign in 2023 with First Robotics. He is the producer of award-winning festival-favorites such as Queen Mimi, the NBC Peacock Original Black Boys, and the Netflix Original Little Miss Sumo. The Hidden Power of Purpose, made with AARP, is set for release in October 2023. Sarah Hernholm is a former elementary school teacher turned entrepreneur and the creator of the international non-profit WIT — Whatever It Takes - creator of the first college credit social entrepreneur and leadership course in the country for high school teens. Their hackathons partner with big names like Google and Toyota and empower kids to launch businesses that make a national impact. Sarah is also a speaker and writer for Forbes and Today. She's currently writing her book 11 Tips for Doing WIT.
Elliot Kotek is a leading mind on purposeful content, technology-for-good and storytelling for social impact. His personal process of self-disruption in conjunction with creating accountability to others helps him accomplish impressive results where nothing is impossible. Brilliant ideas that lack empathy, or compassionate desire alone without ideas to implement change, both fail to create real impact. Elliot shares in detail how “Ideas + Empathy = Impact” through his many incredible projects that combine innovative technology and purpose, and shows how storytelling can beautifully amplify this impact. Applied passion creates purpose. By showing up for what we feel passionate about we can find like-minded people to help and support us on our path, and we're able overcome obstacles and fear, such as loss of security, to realize a much greater purpose that is essential to thriving as human beings. About Elliot: A leader in innovation, technology and purposeful media, Elliot's projects have a global, empathy and impact-led agenda. His LA-based creative consultancy and production-house, The Nation of Artists, generates feature and short documentaries, documentary series and virtual reality/360 experiences. Even during COVID, The Nation of Artists has deployed film crews to more than 30 cities in 14 countries on 5 continents. Often brand-led, and always human-centered, Elliot has collaborated with the likes of AARP, Accenture, Aflac, Amgen, Campbell's, CNBC, FIRST Robotics, Hyundai, Intel, LEGO, McKinsey & Company, National Geographic, NBC Peacock, Netflix, New Balance, Qualcomm, the UN and Whirlpool & Habitat for Humanity - where his projects have included producing the first ever user-generated feature film across five continents, storytelling about a social robot for kids with cancer, enabling technology for a farmer with ALS to independently tell his wife he loves her, covering clean cookstoves in India being connected to the mobile communications grid, investigating iPads being used by artisanal fishermen in Colombia, and producing the world's first lab to make 3D-printed prosthetic limbs for the children of war-torn Sudan. Documentaries include "Little Miss Sumo" (Netflix), "Black Boys" (Peacock), "Queen Mimi" (Amazon Prime); Docu-series include "Superhuman" and "Coded" (Facebook Watch), "Challengers" (FastCompany) and "The New Space Race" (National Geographic); and directing honors on the new feature documentary, "The Hidden Power of Purpose." As a result, Elliot has been honored with a Kellogg School of Management Innovation Fellowship and Alumni of the Year accolades from Australia's Monash University, and he has received personal recognition from the U.S. Congress, the House of Representatives and other legislative bodies - his projects have landed in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art and have won five Cannes Lions, four SxSW innovation awards, an Emmy from four nominations, two Clios, recognition from the International Trade Council, dozens of festival honors and other groovy paperweights. Driven by the mantra that "Ideas + Empathy = Impact," and his "4Ps" approach to innovation and collaboration, Elliot is currently found occupying a 12x12 space at the back of his garden known as "The Shed."
