Our guest in this episode is Dawid Naude, the visionary founder and CEO of Pathfinder, an AI accelerator dedicated to helping businesses boost employee productivity, drive breakthrough innovation, and cultivate a sustainable AI culture. Dawid's passion lies in leveraging AI to free us from mundane tasks and enhance our uniquely human capabilities.In our chat, Dawid shared how AI can truly liberate us from daily drudgery, making way for more meaningful work and deeper human connection. He also brilliantly explained that AI's real power isn't in simple prompts but in having a genuine conversation with it.Key points discussed include:* AI as a liberator: Dawid emphasizes how AI can free us from low-level tasks, allowing for greater focus on skilled work.* Conversational AI: The true value of AI lies in dynamic dialogue, not just one-off questions and answers.* Human connection amplified: AI enables us to be more human by removing tedious tasks and fostering deeper understanding.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Are robots coming for our jobs? Is technology making us less human? These are the kinds of questions that often swirl around the conversation. But what if we told you that AI isn't here to replace us, but to liberate us? What if it's the key to unlocking a future where we're more productive, more creative, and yes, even more connected?This was the incredibly inspiring message from our recent Innova.buzz guest, Dawid Naude, the founder and CEO of Pathfinder. Dawid isn't just building an AI accelerator; he's on a mission to reshape how businesses and individuals embrace this powerful technology, focusing intently on the human side of AI adoption and creating a sustainable AI culture. His vision is refreshingly optimistic: AI's true power lies in its ability to strip away the "drudgery" of our daily tasks, freeing us up to do the really important, human work.Beyond the Classroom: Revolutionizing Learning and Critical ThinkingThink about it: how much of your day is spent on low-level activities, tasks you mastered years ago, or even back in university? Dawid sees this as a profound opportunity. AI can shoulder that mundane burden, allowing us to flex our highly developed skills. But his excitement truly ignites when he talks about education. Imagine every student having a 24/7 mentor, a personalized teacher available at their own pace, in their own language. For those with learning difficulties or language barriers, this isn't just convenient; it's a game-changer, leveling the playing field and opening up a world of possibilities.Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: won't all this AI make us lazy thinkers? Won't it erode our critical thinking skills? It's a valid concern, one I've wrestled with myself. But Dawid offers a compelling counter-narrative. Perhaps for some, it will make it easier to copy and paste. But what about those in the middle, those who struggle to follow complex work? Could AI actually elevate their understanding, pushing them beyond simple rote learning? And for those who are already critical thinkers, AI becomes an "absolute weapon," allowing them to test concepts, explore new topics, and identify blind spots with unprecedented speed and depth. It's like having an instant sounding board, helping you see all the holes in an argument you might have missed.The Art of Conversation: Prompting Beyond the Basic Q&AOne of Dawid's most profound insights is that the true magic of AI isn't in a single, perfectly crafted prompt. Forget prompt engineering as a rigid, one-shot deal for most of us. Instead, Dawid champions the idea of AI as a conversation partner. It's not about asking a question and getting the answer; it's about engaging in a dialogue, a back-and-forth riffing session where you can tweak, question, and refine the AI's responses. This conversational approach unlocks a much deeper level of value.So, how do we master this art? It's simpler than you think. Dawid suggests treating AI like a friend you want to challenge. Instead of asking, "Is this a good idea?" try, "Can you find 10 things wrong with this?" or "Tell me all the reasons for and against." This subtle shift in your interaction can transform the AI from a validation machine into a genuine sparring partner, pushing your thinking and helping you explore ideas from all angles. It's about being aware of the AI's inherent tendency to validate and actively instructing it to push back, to play devil's advocate.Navigating the Ethical Maze: Bias and the Human ElementThe question of bias in AI is a significant one, and Dawid delves into this with admirable honesty. He explains that AI has to be biased in some way; it has to give an answer that isn't always "it depends." The underlying training data, combined with carefully constructed "system prompts," shapes the AI's personality and guardrails. It's not malice, but a reflection of the data it's trained on and the rules its creators have set.This understanding is crucial. While we can ask AI to cite its sources and dig deeper, the ultimate responsibility for critical evaluation remains ours. We're used to searching for answers on Google, where we get sources to find the answer. With AI, we're often given the answer directly. Dawid wisely points out that this could lead to us delegating our thinking to a "20-kilometer radius in California," where most of these AI companies reside. It's a tricky balance, but one we must navigate by maintaining our own human judgment.AI in Action: Real-World Business TransformationsDawid's journey with Pathfinder has shown him just how rapidly the landscape of AI has evolved. What required complex, expensive integrations just 18 months ago can now often be achieved with off-the-shelf tools and clever prompting. He recounted a fascinating example of a small real estate company that, after some basic AI training, created their own custom GPTs for tasks like real estate listings and tenant communication. They even produced AI video avatars of their CEO providing market updates in multiple languages!This anecdote really drives home Dawid's belief: the true power lies in giving every employee an "everyday AI assistant." It's not about replacing roles, but about making each person incredibly productive by tackling the thousands of unstructured, copy-paste, back-and-forth activities that fill most of our days. When people discover how these tools can save them time and effort, their eyes light up. It's a genuine human connection to the technology because it directly improves their daily work life.The "Coffee Culture" of Connection: Why Humans Still RuleOne of my favorite analogies from our conversation was Dawid's take on coffee culture. He highlighted how, particularly here in Melbourne, we're happy to queue up, pay five times as much, and sometimes even get a "worse" coffee from a barista, even when a perfectly good, cheap, and consistent alternative exists from a machine. Why? Because it's human. This perfectly illustrates his point that despite the incredible efficiency of AI, our innate desire for human interaction and connection remains strong.AI is poised to rid us of the drudgery, giving us back time and mental space. And what will we do with that newfound freedom? Dawid believes it will allow us to be more authentic and human in our interactions. When we're not bogged down by tedious tasks, we can truly engage, empathize, and connect on a deeper level. The more human you are, the more effectively you'll be able to leverage this technology.Your Personal AI Journey: Taking the LeapSo, what's the takeaway from all this? Dawid's message is clear: dive in! The best gateway drug, as he puts it, is something like ChatGPT. Don't be intimidated; it's not hard to become an expert. You just need to be shown what's possible, and then start playing. He encourages everyone to grab the free version and get started.His unique call to action is brilliant: "Have ChatGPT interview you, and then afterwards, ask it to recommend the top 10 ways of how you should use ChatGPT." It's a meta-approach that lets the tool itself guide your learning journey, tailoring its advice to your specific needs and interests. What a clever way to begin your own AI adventure!It's been a truly fabulous conversation with Dawid Naude, packed with incredible insights. His perspective on AI as a human enabler rather than a threat is truly inspiring. We're not just talking about the future; we're living it, and with AI as our ally, that future looks incredibly bright.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Dawid's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Innovative AI with Human connection – Dawid saw a client use AI to understand a challenging client's perspective more deeply, and his wife uses it to create fairy tales that help their kids navigate difficult situations.* Best AI integration example – Dawid integrates AI and human connection by simply showing people how to use it to save time, do things they couldn't before, and even have fun with their families.* Differentiate with Connection – Dawid recommends using AI to understand people and industries more deeply, allowing for richer conversations and more impactful solutions.ActionDefinitely grab ChatGPT, even the free version! Then, tell it to interview you, and afterward, ask it to recommend the top 10 ways you should use ChatGPT to get started.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Dawid on his LinkedIn, or for a deeper dive into AI, visit Startlearning.ai which redirects to Pathfinder's monthly public masterclass.Links:* Website - Pathfindr* LinkedIn* Speaker Profile* YouTube* Dawid's Other Podcast appearancesCool Things About Dawid* The Tech Optimist with a Conscience: Dawid isn't just a tech cheerleader; he's a responsible innovator who's willing to call out unethical practices and advocate for human-centered AI adoption. That blend of enthusiasm and integrity is seriously cool.* The Accidental Entrepreneur: Dawid's candidness about the challenges of entrepreneurship—admitting that it's often "miserable" and not as glamorous as it seems—is refreshingly honest and relatable. It's cool to see someone who's not afraid to show the real side of building a business.* The Language Barrier Breaker: Dawid's passion for using AI to overcome language barriers and connect with people from different cultures is inspiring.

How can modern telemetry solutions help you? While at NDC in Melbourne, Richard chatted with Liz Fong-Jones of Honeycomb about her approach to educating leadership on creating great telemetry solutions for organizations. Liz discusses the importance of being able to answer questions about reliability issues without causing problems, as opposed to relying on a dashboard for every measurement taken of the system. The conversation also delves into the culture of building reliability, where people are encouraged to fail and learn, rather than being punished when things go wrong.LinksHoneycombRecorded April 30, 2025

Nel lontano 1975 debuttarono la 2EA di Sydney e la 3EA di Melbourne, nucleo iniziale da cui sarebbe nata SBS. Di questa storia ormai 50ennale ha fatto parte, fin dagli albori, anche il nostro programma, con redazioni a Melbourne e Sydney in cui hanno lavorato tantissime persone, tutte accomunate dal desiderio di informare voi, il pubblico australiano di lingua italiana.

50 years ago SBS was born, starting its first ever broadcasts on Sydney and Melbourne radio stations in different languages. The first broadcast was in Greek. 2025 also marks half a century since the ‘Patris', a ship that brought tens-of-thousands of Greek migrants to Australia, left our shores for the last time. This story is produced in collaboration with SBS Greek.

Most people can't sit in silence.They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting.But what if the real magic happens in the stillness?In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, I've come to understand that quiet isn't empty, it's full of truth.If you're the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesn't know how to “do nothing” without guilt… this one is for you.Let's talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more.We're diving into:Why some of us fear silenceHow stillness helps you meet yourselfWhat we're really running from when we stay “busy”The truth about transformation and spaceThis one's a reset.Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet.

What do you do when your anxiety has become their anxiety? In this listener Q&A, Justin and Kylie respond to Amy from Melbourne—a self-diagnosed helicopter parent whose 9-year-old daughter now struggles with fear and risk aversion. With compassion and practical insight, they break down the difference between risky and dangerous play, explore the impact of parental anxiety, and offer real-world strategies to build your child’s confidence—without ignoring safety. KEY POINTS Risk ≠ Danger: Risky play involves challenge with decision-making and agency. Dangerous or hazardous play involves hidden threats kids can’t yet assess. Why Risky Play Matters: It improves mental health, builds confidence, reduces anxiety, enhances learning, and strengthens decision-making. Parental Anxiety is Contagious: When parents over-control, children miss the chance to develop autonomy and trust in their own judgement. Structure Builds Competence: Autonomy-supportive parenting isn’t “hands off”—it means offering guidance, boundaries, and support while allowing your child to step up gradually. Small Steps Lead to Big Growth: You don’t have to throw your child in the deep end. Micro-risks—like ordering lunch, paying for milk, or exploring a store aisle alone—build trust and resilience. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The goal is to keep children as safe as necessary—not as safe as possible.” RESOURCES MENTIONED The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au – More resources for autonomy-supportive parenting Submit your question: happyfamilies.com.au/podcast ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Start With a Conversation Gently acknowledge your own anxiety and let your child know you’re learning to trust her more. Introduce Low-Stakes Risks: Let her pay for something at the shops Send her to order lunch while you wait nearby Assign a small independent task at home Teach, Then Step Back Give your child the structure to succeed—rules, expectations, safety cues—then give them space to apply it. Increase Freedom Gradually As both your and your child’s confidence grows, slowly expand what she’s allowed to do without your help. Keep Safety Contextual Not every environment is safe for independence. Know your context, but look for creative alternatives to build autonomy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

18 restaurants, feeding countless A-List celebrities and leading the plant based food scene sounds like the making of a riddle, but is the reality of our guests Mark. Over the years we've all heard the term plant based but what does it actually mean? Can it actually be good enough that it's highly sought after by foodies worldwide? A health crisis transformed Mark's relationship with food forever. After receiving a rare blood cancer diagnosis, he immersed himself in nutritional research while undergoing treatment. What emerged was not just a personal healing journey but the foundation for culinary innovation that would reshape Australia's plant-based dining landscape.Mark's approach is refreshingly approachable. Through his 18 restaurants  across Melbourne, Sydney, and Byron Bay—he aspires to create vibrant spaces where food brings people together without dietary labels creating division.His debut cookbook, "This Cookbook is a Huge Mistake" (named after a neon sign in one of his restaurants) emerged during Australia's lengthy COVID lockdowns. Quarantined alone in a hotel room for two weeks, Mark reflected on his culinary journey, documenting recipes and life lessons that had shaped his path. The result combines practical plant-based techniques with personal stories and his trademark pun-filled humor.Beyond business success, Mark's most treasured accomplishment is the community he's built—including unexpected friendships with the Hemsworth family, who began as regular customers and became devoted supporters. Through beautiful, thoughtful food that momentarily transports guests away from daily stress, Mark reminds us that gathering around a table is ultimately about connection, not just nutrition.Try something from this cookbook. Your taste buds will thank you, and you might just find yourself reimagining what plant-based eating can be.This Episode is Sponsored by: Travel with Stephani- Are you looking to plan a vacation for your family this Summer?

At the end of all our exploring, we arrive back where we started and know the place for the first time.*Jessie McCrone and Stephen Donnelly cover the last marginal seats of the election - some of which they did not even know were marginal - in their home state of Victoria. What went down in Kooyong? Why are the Liberals losing the Eastern suburbs? What went wrong for the Greens in the seat of Melbourne?We cover this and more, plus turn our eyes toward the Victorian state election, where we reflect on lessons learned from the federal results. Because once again, demographics are not destiny, and campaigns matter. Enjoy.*Apologies to T.S.

What is in those suspiciously cheap beauty products? Mel’s on the home stretch to baby, and we’re building the ultimate beginner routine for teen skin — it’s all happening on Uncensored this week. In Trending, we dive into the growing concern around unregulated beauty products. With recent studies revealing harmful levels of toxic chemicals in some budget buys, we’re unpacking what’s really in those too-good-to-be-true serums, and how to shop smarter to protect your skin. Then, in Build My Cart, a listener enlists us to create the perfect skincare starter pack for her 14-year-old sister. We keep it gentle, affordable, and beginner-friendly — including a top-notch SPF that’s cute and doesn’t cost a fortune. In Stuff We Love, we get our hands (and lips) on Laneige’s new limited-edition Bubble Tea lip balms, and take a wildly passionate detour into what taro actually tastes like. Plus, Mel gives a little maternity leave update, and we fill you in on what’s coming up over the next few episodes.

During World War II, Melbourne hosted American soldiers as part of the Allied effort, and the city enforced "brownouts"—partial blackouts to obscure urban areas from potential air raids. Among the soldiers was Edward Leonski, whose self-confessed fixation on women's voices led to a series of tragic murders. Joining us is Luke C. Jackson, one of the creators of The Brownout Murders, a graphic novel that examines the fear, fortitude and social change sparked by this dark chapter in Melbourne's history.Links:"The Brownout Murders" is authored by Luke C.

Property development in Australia is getting harder—and this episode unpacks why. Soaring costs, endless planning delays, contradictory government policies, and a risk-averse planning culture are pushing developers to the edge. If you're struggling to make your numbers work, you're not alone. In this episode of the Property Developer Podcast, we explore what's broken in the system and what needs to change. Our guest, Maxwell Shifman from Intrapac Property, shares blunt insights from the front lines of residential property development including: Why planning systems are paralysed by zero-risk thinking How rising construction and infrastructure costs are crushing feasibility The myth of affordable apartments near train stations Why government housing targets are set up to fail How rezoning taxes and red tape are stalling supply The real reason developers are shelving projects across Australia Strategies for surviving and adapting in today's tough market "We tax housing like we want less of it—then wonder why no one's building."   Property Development Training Want to learn how to manage property development with confidence?

Cheng Lei's years in detention in China, on trumped-up espionage charges, go from cruel and isolating, to absurd and romantic when she gets moved into a cell with three other women.The Chinese-Australian journalist was held in detention in China for more than three years, accused of selling state secrets to foreign people and powers.In episode one of this two-part series, Lei explained how the charges hinged on a document that was read out publicly on television, and how she survived the cruelty of interrogations and being kept in isolation.In this episode, Lei's details how her experience of detention changed as she moved out of solitary confinement, but still under lock and key with three other women.In cell 112, Lei and the other women sang songs when the guards weren't watching, they fought, they bonded and they communicated secretly with the prisoners in a cell next door.The knocking, for which Lei was punished, climaxed in a covert proposal.Eventually, Lei saw sunlight again. With the help of the Australian Government, she was released and flown back home to Melbourne, where she was reunited with her children (now teenagers), rebuilt her life and can be publicly critical of the paranoid and image-conscious state security system that locked her behind bars for years.Further informationListen to the first part of Richard's extraordinary conversation with Cheng Lei here.Cheng Lei: A Memoir of Freedom is published by HarperCollins.Cheng Lei: My Story is a documentary made by Sky News Australia.
