When the fervour of professional Rugby Union fades into the quiet intensity of fatherhood, a man's search for identity takes on a whole new playing field. Join me and my guest, Austin Smith, as we explore the profound shifts in life that come with trading stadiums for the living room and legacy for lullabies. Austin, a former professional athlete turned exercise physiologist, opens up about the personal challenges he faced in the pursuit of inner  fulfilment, sharing insights that resonate with anyone who has ever grappled with the weight of external expectations.I originally asked Austin to be a guest on the show so I could tap into his exercise physiology expertise; injury re-hab, diet, and all things health and wellbeing to support skateboarding endeavours. However, instead, our dialogue traverses the diverse landscape of relationships and personal development, where Austin and I exchange tales of romance, the trials of parenting, and the quest for purpose beyond the scoreboard. This episode is a testament to the power that candid, supportive conversations can have in steering us toward our better selves.As we wrap up our time together, Austin and I reflect on the broader implications of our journeys, from the philosophical quandaries of parenting in modern society to the ethical conundrums posed by advancing technology. The future is complex and often daunting, but it's the community and the support we offer each other that lightens the load. Tune in for an episode that goes beyond the surface, inspiring you to embrace the challenge, confront the unknown, and appreciate the intricate dance of life's pursuits.THT gets by with a little help from these friends... (Intro) Music by Def Wish Cast.Song: ForeverAlbum: The Evolution Machinewww.defwishcast.com.auhttps://defwishcastofficial.bandcamp.com/INDOSOLE - Sustainable footwear Code: THT(15% discount shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Sandals made from recycled Tyres.

When I sat down with Kane Horsepool, the artist  also known as Trait, we didn't just talk art; we ventured into the depths of personal growth, the struggle for authenticity, and the profound effects of integrating one's deepest values with creative pursuits. Kane's candid reflections on mental health, his commitment to being a present husband and father, and his artistic process offer a stark view into the life of someone balancing the rigors of full-time work with an unquenchable need to create. His upcoming show at the Bad News Gallery in Wollongong promises to  be a true manifestation of an artist who is letting go…so they can grow. We reminisce about formative influences, the sustenance we draw from passions like skateboarding, and the importance of local culture and grassroots environmental efforts. There's links to the emotional growth that comes from confronting challenges head-on, and the unapologetic truth that one's well-being is paramount to creative success. Kane shines a light on the transformative power of art in all its forms. So join us for a conversation that's as much about the art on the canvas as it is about the art of living a mindful, purposeful life.Enjoy,ShanTHT gets by with a little help from these friends... (Intro) Music by Def Wish Cast.Song: ForeverAlbum: The Evolution Machinewww.defwishcast.com.auhttps://defwishcastofficial.bandcamp.com/INDOSOLE - Sustainable footwear Code: THT(15% discount shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Sandals made from recycled Tyres.

This week I speak with former professional skateboarder, exceptional artist, husband and father, Mr Sidney Tapia. Sid joins me live from his Art Gallery in Brisbane, Australia, to take us on a deep, authentic, and often raw journey, through his life so far.  Sid reflects on his tumultuous childhood and teens years, the challenges of being a child of migrant parents who divorced when he was 3 years of age, finding art as his place of solace, navigating a liveable income as a sponsored skateboarder in the 90s, being contracted to draw murals for sports organisations such as the NRL and the UFC,  his innate desire to be of service to others, finding his faith in God, and much much more.Despite Sid's rich history in Skateboarding, we don't really talk much about it in this episode. I assume this will be disappointing to some, however, his charismatic tales of redemption, hope and love, are much more engaging and enriching in my opinion. He analyses the human condition we all endure with vigour. He strips back the layers, sifts through the shit, and comes out clean on the other side...Just for today anyway.   I love this episode. And I love Sid.

*Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) This week, past guest, Psychologist, and Jui Jitsu enthusiast Mark Baxter joins me along with Artist, Curator of the Sporulation Psychedelic Art Festival, and Exercise Physiologist Melissa Errey. The three of us have an open conversation about mental health, it's inevitable fluctuations, trauma, and beyond. Melissa shares elements of her personal story which is brave and appreciated. Mark weighs in to address the news around the TGA's re-scheduling of Psilocybin and MDMA for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and the reality of it's accessibility and gradual integration. The conversations goes off on a variety of different tangents, however, to summate, both Mel and Mark are passionate about improving positive mental health outcomes for people. It's that simple. Yes, there is much talk about the use of Psychedelics, their potential benefits, potential harms. It's an education, so listen with an open heart and an open mind.Enjoy,ShanCheckout the Sporulation Art Festival:April 19 – 30, 2023Project Contemporary Artspace,255 Keira Street, WollongongConnect with Terrible Happy Talks online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terriblehappytalks/Website: https://terriblehappytalks.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TerriblehappyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriblehappytalksFriends of THTUse Code: THTKRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

This week I catch-up with one of my personal favourite Australian Skateboarders, Mr Darren Kaehne. Darren and I have a relaxed, yet long conversation, at his house in Mona Vale on the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia. Darren shares about his early years growing-up, finding a sincere passion for Skateboarding, meeting his wife, starting a family, and everything in between. We reflect a lot on the Australian skate scene in the 90s which was fun, but mainly we philosophise, and go off on a variety of random tangents. It was an enjoyable blur of a conversation. I loved it.Some might say Darren is a gifted Skateboarder (which I agree with), however, he is also someone who has literally never stopped. He's been doing it for 35 years (plus). Never one to chase the spotlight, never one to expect anything from it, just pure love, and when you watch him skate, this is abundantly clear. There is an endearing sensitivity to Darren that I really liked. He attributes a healthy lifestyle, gratitude, presence, and non-attachment to the past, as values that have allowed him the longevity that he now enjoys with his skateboarding. At 47 years of age he is still ripping. Be sure to check-out the edit I put together of our post-podcast skate. Darren literally stacked about 3 minutes worth of quality footage in the space of a couple of hours at Mona Vale Skatepark...You'll be inspired.Enjoy,ShanConnect with Terrible Happy Talks online:Website: https://terriblehappytalks.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terriblehappytalks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TerriblehappyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriblehappytalksFriends of THTUse Code: THTKRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Jeffery Olsen and his son Spencer, are Near Death Experience survivors of a car accident that took the lives of Jeffery's first wife, and Spencer's mother, Tamara and Jeffery's son (Spencer's brother), Griffin. To add to the trauma of the event, Jeffery's leg was amputated in the process, he broke his back, endured eighteen surgeries, and five months in an Intensive Care Unit. In this week's episode, Jeffery and Spencer share the details of their lives prior and post accident, their ongoing navigation of grief, loss and acceptance, their journey of hope, enlightenment, and the healing gift that is Jeffery's second wife, Tonya and the children they now have together.There is a trigger warning for this episode, as Jeffery and Spencer courageously recount the day of the accident in explicit detail, and their comparative experience with it. Compellingly, Jeffery discusses the subsequent Out-of-Body Experience he had in the immediate moments post accident, an experience he describes as profoundly vivid, in which he was able to converse with his deceased wife, as they floated in a ball of light. Her instruction to him in that moment was simple and clear: "You need to go back and raise our son so he is not orphaned".The event that Jeffery and Spencer endured on that day was tragic. However, it is overpowered by hope and love. Twenty six years later, you will see two humans that are enriched, at peace, and in their own words, "refusing to be victims".

Jarrett Wilbraham is a professional MMA fighter and past guest. This week he joins me remotely to check in, discuss his recent title fight in Melbourne, and in true Jarrett fashion, we get deep into his ongoing healing journey. Despite being an absolute savage in the Octagon, Jarrett is a deeply sensitive, and empathetic human who attributes much of his healing journey to his conscious use of psychedelics, supporting family and friends and training at an elite level. The conversation goes on a variety of tangents, we talk about:His wild fight down in Melbourne as parts of the HEXS promotion. A fight that he dominated, yet lost due to error.The losing mindset, learning from defeat and growing from it.The role of psychedelics on healing his trauma, and being better for those around him.Being part of Alex Volkanovski's UFC284 training camp.His financial concerns, making a living from fighting in order to provide and start a family of his own.And there is much more to the conversation, you'll have to tune-in and enjoy the ride. We record remotely, and yes there was some sound quality issues which Jarrett and I were able to rectify. Still very listen-able, however, the audio quality is not as good as in-person recordings (obviously).Shan.THT Partnerships Use Code: THTKRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Jeremy Rowling is a skateboarder, photographer, dedicated family-man, and a lifelong friend. It's an important episode for me. As a teenager, Jeremy was that person I looked-up to the most. He was a few years older, a few years cooler, confident, kind, funny, and the catalyst that held the crew together. Enamoured with skateboarding, and as the the oldest...he had a job. This meant that he was able to buy the latest skate videos when they came out, in which we would spend countless hours watching, studying, learning, mimicking, and developing our sense of identity as individuals, and also as a collective crew, in the process. In this week's episode Jeremy discusses his childhood growing up in semi-rural NSW, finding skateboarding, his family's move to the south coast, that time he knocked his tooth out learning how to ollie, finding a magical crew, that time Julian shot me with a slug-gun, skateboarding in a time without skateparks, legendary Nowra spots, influences, falling in love with his now wife, becoming a father, why radness begets radness,  and much much more. We could've talked for days reminiscing...Straight-up golden years of skating, partying, hanging with friends and no responsibility. Mainly good times, sometimes awkward, sometimes painful,  either way, it seems like most of us reflect on our teen years with great reverence. So listen, compare, and reflect on your own experience with this stage of life, and ask yourself who your Jeremy Rowling was.Enjoy,Shan Support the show and become a subscriber.

Ricky Roberts tunes in from St. Petersburgh, Florida, USA to check-in since last time he was on the show. Ricky discusses his latest writing endeavour, his more recent mental health issues of the last couple of years, finding his feet with parenting, why he is still progressing on a skateboard in his mid 40's, the success of his book "Thank you Skateboarding" and much more. I feel a real affinity with Ricky; we are the same age, bald, we have beards, similar complexion, similar family background story amongst other things. This conversation is analytical in it's general nature, but during the second half, it kind of takes a serious path as we discuss our experiences with loss, grief, overdose and suicide. That being said, trigger warning for the last 30 mins, issues associated with suicidal ideation are raised. If you're struggling, reachout, you're not alone.

Today we're learning from Kai Paul, Head of Manufacturing and Sustainability at Indosole based in Bali. Indosole is a B Corp certified vegan footwear company that uses 100% recycled tires for it's soles. An idea that came about after Indosole's Founder, Kyle Parsons, purchased a pair of hand-crafted sandals made from motorbike tires during his first trip to the Indonesian island.  They've since scaled up and streamlined the process, collecting tire waste, pulverising it into a powder, and pressing it into new soles with soul, as they like to say. He talks about their company journey, the challenges of using recycled material, and what's next for Indosole. Use Promo Code "Coldharbour" to enjoy 10% off your next Indosole purchase. Visit www.indosole.com to learn more about their story and products. 

After an eye-opening trip to Bali, Indosole founder Kyle Parsons decided to work on the global issue of tire waste while simultaneously developing some of the most comfortable and sustainable footwear on the market. Host Amy Koonin Taylor is joined by Parsons to talk about the brand's journey, conscious consumerism, and how big ideas can bring about big changes.

https://terriblehappytalks.com/Sam Giles is a sponsored skateboarder and member of legendary Skate brand; Super Happy Fun Crew. At his peak, Sam was among a handful of Australian Skateboarders who achieved the dream of making a living from Skateboarding for a period of time. Like many of the best to do it, these were never his reasons for skating, however, he has won numerous high-profile competitions and gained consistent exposure in some of the most respected skateboarding (and mainstream) media outlets in Australia and America.

Gordon Bradbery is a husband, father, ordained Church Minister, and now, the current Lord Mayor of Wollongong City on the South East Coast of Australia. Born and raised in a rural town in the state of New South Wales as a child, Gordon moved to the capital city of Sydney at 10 years of age and spent the majority of his teenage years living in a children’s home…a time he personally refers to as “being raised by the school of hard knocks”.Gordon’s service to the community is vast and sustained. Throughout his adult life he has consistently advocated for, led and initiated support programs linked to Mental Health, aged care, homelessness and beyond. Aside from his many other accolades and awards, in more recent years, Gordon was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his significant service to local community.Gordon is very much a champion of the people in my eyes, an advocate for community cohesion, connection, harmony and inclusivity. During his long tenure as a Church minister he (literally) conducted hundreds of marriage ceremonies, my own included! I was immediately intrigued by his passion, sense of humour and willingness to conduct wedding ceremonies outside the four walls of a church. His whole approach seemed contrary to the dogma I had often associated with a traditional church setting…and I liked it, as do many others. In this week's episode, Gordon is with me to share his journey, challenges, experiences and hopes for the future.Thanks to Indosole for supporting the showUse PROMO CODE: THT (15% discount)https://indosole.com/If you enjoy the show please HIT SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 star review in the iTunes store or Apple Podcast app—it really helps me to keep the show going, and if you want to go even further, head over to https://terriblehappytalks.com/ and pick up some ethically produced merchandise in the SHOP.

https://terriblehappytalks.com/Dylan Longbottom was a previous guest on the show, dating back to episode 27 in which we recorded in his surfboard showroom in Berawa, Canggu Bali. Amongst surfers, Dylan is a legend of the tribe. A fearless slab-hunting, eternal grommet, who has dedicated his life to progression in all that he does. The Longbottom family's rich surfing history and influence are subtly entrenched throughout modern day surfing and surf culture as we know it. Dylan’s journey from being a pro-junior to professional free-surfer for Billabong, to big-wave tow-in pioneer at slabs like Teahupoo in Tahiti (yes, including the legendary Code Red Swell), to surfboard shaper and craftsman has continued to perpetuate and re-enforce the legacy of the Longbottom family. A legacy that is already being passed on to his children. Last time we caught up, Dylan was preparing big-wave guns and tow-boards for his riders in time for the European winter, specifically at Nazare in Portugal. Dylan discussed his humble beginnings in Cronulla before moving to the south coast of New South Wales, we discussed the East Coast Low of 2016, his stuntman work on Point Break 2, his shaping journey and beyond...legendary stories. Now, more than ever, life has a way of going full-circle, and in this week's episode Dylan is with me in his newly opened Boardroom in Cronulla (where it all began) to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.Thanks to Indosole for supporting the showUse PROMO CODE: THT (15% discount)https://indosole.com/If you enjoy the show please HIT SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 star review in the iTunes store or Apple Podcast app—it really helps me to keep the show going, and if you want to go even further, head over to https://terriblehappytalks.com/ and pick up some ethically produced merchandise in the SHOP.

Known as “Stove” to his friends, Stephen’s skills on a skateboard are mind-blowing. You just have to watch his clips on Youtube to see his level of dedication and his ability to adapt. Upon meeting Stephen, I sensed his innate sincerity immediately, a person that is comfortable in his skin, empathetic and supportive of others.

Deb Young is a wife, mother, self-confessed yoga nerd, a trained Doula with a passion for helping women during pregnancy, entrepreneur, global traveler, food-lover and co-founder of the long-established Younga Yoga studio on the South East Coast of Australia. Basically, she is a charismatic leader who inspires those that have the privilege of being in her presence. Deb has a Degree in Physical & Health Education and a background in dance, but it wasn't until she met (her now husband) Russ that she discovered her love for all things Yoga and the amazing way it can help bring balance to life.Deb has a unique ability to bring Yoga philosophy to life on the yoga mat with dynamic & clear sequencing by drawing metaphors between what we practice ON the Yoga mat as a symbol for what we do in our everyday life OFF the Yoga mat. When I first practised with Deb and Russ in their tiny studio (in what seemed like a previously used office space), I immediately sensed the passion and desire for sharing their knowledge, building a community, serving others and effectively creating a collective consciousness of Yogi inspired humans! Since those early days back in 2006, Younga Yoga has since moved to a larger studio, inspired a larger audience and stayed true to their core values, whilst growing a sustainable business. In this week's episode, Deb is with me to share her journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

Son of a fisherman and a nurse, educated in Aquaculture, Brian has owned and operated a diverse range of successful businesses in construction and health and wellness. Brian’s mountaineering adventures have inspired travels around the world, he finds a connection to the landscape of Nepal and the Himalayas. Brian’s charismatic approach to life, his kind heart and big smile make him a natural born leader. In 2013, I was lucky enough to join Brian on an expedition (which he organised and led with local Sherpas) to the Himalayas in which we supported local schools in the Khumbu region (Mt Everest) by supplying essential educational needs such as backpacks, tables and chairs. Racing him to the touch p of Mt Kalapathar (6000m), watching the sun rising over Mt Everest, and then frolicking at the base of the Khumbu Glacier are profound memories that I will cherish for eternity (I have photos of all of these experiences by the way which I will share on the THT Instagram).In this week's episode, Brian is with me to share his experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.Thanks to Indosole for supporting the showUse PROMO CODE: THT (15% discount...and you'll be SUPPORTING THE SHOW)https://indosole.com/If you enjoy the show please HIT SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 star review in the iTunes store or Apple Podcast app—it really helps me to keep the show going, and if you want to go even further, head over to https://terriblehappytalks.com/ and pick up some ethically produced merchandise in the SHOP.

Darren Longbottom is a surfer, father, businessmen and author. Darren has grown up living near the beach, and is born into a family with a rich surfing history. In fact, a family that has pioneered surfboard manufacturing, surfboard shaping and his father was even a key contributor to the establishment of professional surf competition formats, which have evolved into what we know today as the World Surf League (WSL). Darren was a successful competitive surfer in his younger years before moving into the surf industry and eventually owning a surf shop in which he still owns and operates to this very day. I believe that everyone’s life journey is unique and Darren’s is definitely no exception.In his book, “Beyond the Break”, Darren recounts a significant direction-change that occurred in his life after having a freak accident occurred while surfing in a remote area of the Indonesian Archipelago.

Kristyan divides his time between California and Bali, making art, maintaining his yoga practice and connecting with the ocean. Kristyan finds his spiritual home in Uluwatu Bali, which is where we recorded this episode...sitting on the cliffs of the Bukit peninsula, listening to the sounds of the Indian Ocean bouncing waves off the reef. Uluwatu has always felt like a sacred place for me (like many) and to record a podcast in this location was a profound moment for me. Like Kristyan said to me recently "It is a sacred place for sacred souls".When you spend time with Kristyan, you realise very quickly that you are in the presence of a deeply conscious human of a high frequency. You feel safe from judgement or ridicule when you are around him. Kindness, gratitude and empathy radiate. I am grateful our paths aligned so this conversation could take place. For me, there was some real healing that came out of our discussion both on and off record (who spoke for another hour or two after the show). In this week's episode, Kristyan is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.Thanks to Indosole for supporting the showUse PROMO CODE: THT (15% discount...and you'll be SUPPORTING THE SHOW)https://indosole.com/If you enjoy the show please HIT SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 star review in the iTunes store or Apple Podcast app—it really helps me to keep the show going, and if you want to go even further, head over to https://terriblehappytalks.com/ and pick up some ethically produced merchandise in the SHOP.

Blake Johnson is a previous guest all the way back from episode 12! Blake is a surfer, entrepreneur, and successful business owner. Originally from Wollongong Australia, Blake now lives in Bali with his girlfriend Jess. Since arriving in Bali, Blake founded two cafes and a coffee roasting distribution company called Coffee Cartel. Blake's business savvy has allowed him to create a lifestyle on his terms, and at the age of 32, he has acquired knowledge and skills well beyond his years. Blake possesses innate confidence, calmness, and kindness in all that he does. I believe these qualities have allowed him to achieve the success that he has at a young age. Blake is a firm believer in hard work, dedication and challenging the notion of stereotypical, traditional education and career pathways. Blake finds his solace in the ocean, he has found his happy place at Nusa Lembongan, he is newly engaged, and has a baby on the way! On this week's episode, Blake is back on the show for a catch up to share his experiences, challenges and hopes for the future. *Special note: Literally the day after this episode was recorded, the world began to go into lockdown, international boarders were being closed...and just like that, Blake and I are both now back in Wollongong, NSW Australia.

Teshalonika Krisanti is an educator, artist, singer and sustainability advocate.Before she even graduated from High School, Tesha harnessed her passion for the arts, singing and education and founded the nonprofit school Kampoeng English in 2016. Kampoeng English empowers local children to be confident learners who follow their dreams, ignite their potential, all with a focus on sustainable education and hands-on learning.Teshalonika moved from Jakarta to Bali with her family after her father was appointed as the resident artist at the internationally recognised Green school, Bali. Mind you, his application was promoted by Tesha, who dreamed of moving to Bali and attending the school in order to nurture her creativity and passion for progressive learning approaches. Shortly after his appointment, Tesha gained a full-time scholarship at the school in 2015. Her sincere gratitude for the opportunity she was given combined with her immediate connection to the Balinese people, Tesha’s desire to “give-back” was immediately born. And, so she did.Through local community collaboration, shear determination and lots of hard work, Kampoeng English school opened in 2016 with 10-15 students. Now, the school regularly holds classes for around 105 students (sometimes more). The School has become a pillar of strength, inspiration and stability for local children near Tesha’s home in Ubud.

Originally from Portugal, Francis has spent much of his life around the ocean and enjoying the natural environment. His career as a Teacher has led him (and his family) half-way around the world. His passion and love for the ocean inspired him to found and lead the Student Ocean Ambassador Program (SOAP) at The Green School, Bali, in which he started in 2014.

In Episode 11 of the Disruptors for Good podcast I speak with Kyle Parsons, the Founder and CEO of Indosole, a leader in social impact and on a quest to become the most sustainable footwear company in the world.

In episode 115, Kestrel welcomes Tomide Awe, the founder of Olori, to the show. A handbag line that incorporates traditional African textiles into modern designs, Olori was built with an intention to help women become actively involved in solving women-interest issues, especially with regard to education.  "It's not about just donating money - we are not a charity organization, this is not a charitable affair for us. We are on a mission to build this network of future empowered women, and we wanted to ensure that the girls feel the full effect of every dollar that we spend."  -Tomide Awe, Founder of Olori   In this episode, Tomide shares more about her journey, and how growing up in Nigeria helped her realize the impact an education can have on women's lives. According to UNESCO, a girl in Nigeria has a 73% chance of not going to school. For Tomide, her mom helped to ensure she was able to get an education, and now she has multiple degrees. She wants to pay that forward to help give other young girls the opportunity to learn, grow and build their own future. With each Olori bag purchased, a girl receives one month of education, in coordination with Olori's giving partner Bridge International Academies. One powerful element of Tomide's company is she's not just a charity and/or a business with a giving model. Instead, she has built a supply chain that supports women throughout the backstory of her products as well. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Wharton, university where Tomide studied and received her Master's degree "Nigeria is a country where a girl has a 73% chance of not going to school at all, according to UNESCO" "About 9.5 million girls will never step foot in a school, compared to about 5 million boys [in Africa]." "UNICEF says that mothers that have had some education are more than twice as likely to send their own children to school." Bridge International Academies, Olori's nonprofit giving partner Olori actually means "queen" in Tomide's language - the Yuruba language of Nigeria Aso-oke: textiles used to make Olori's bags "We strongly believe that when women support women, incredible things happen."

In episode 113, Kestrel welcomes Lawrence Lenihan, the CEO of Resonance, to the show. A venture operating company, Resonance partners with brands to enable them to build a fashion business that is as beautiful as their creative vision. "WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE RETHINKING. THIS WHOLE INDUSTRY WAS BUILT ON THE IDEA THAT YOU MAKE MANY - LOTS AND LOTS - BIG RUNS ... WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE. RATHER THAN HAVING FEWER STYLES OVER MORE AND MORE UNITS, OUR WHOLE ARCHITECTURE IS: HOW DO WE MAKE ONE UNIT AS EFFICIENTLY AS A THOUSAND?"  -LAWRENCE LENIHAN, FOUNDER OF RESONANCE  In this episode, Kestrel asks Lawrence to talk more about how Resonance intends to fuse the worlds of art and commerce, when so often they tend to resist each other. For Resonance, it's about bringing business and art together, but allowing art to be the driving force. Lawrence shares more about how fast Resonance can move their brand partners' designs from inception to customer doorstep - in less than nine days. Kestrel and Lawrence explore whether this new infrastructure Resonance is building is "speeding things up" or just shifting the model to allow the designer to have more control. Additionally, Kestrel asks Lawrence to elaborate more on this idea that "creation is discontinuity," which is a foundational element of Resonance's approach.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Resonance's Art vs Commerce Video "We have sold 20,000 units with 2,000 different styles."  "The interesting thing about fashion is that it is the thing that is touching you physically, and it represents where you are, where you think you stand, where you belong. And, that expression of "where I belong" is a current expression of conditions in the environment in which I live, and that's why i think this is a really, really critical thing." Plausible deniability: "the ability of people (typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command) to deny knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed by others in an organizational hierarchy because of a lack of evidence that can confirm their participation, even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully ignorant of the actions" GIVEAWAY ALERT Conscious Chatter has partnered with IndieGetup for a Conscious Closet Giveaway!

It's an open and honest conversation that I enjoyed being a part of and I hope you enjoy listening to now! Habit of Thought: Always looking ahead to the next day. Carry optimism and look to the next step. Habit of Action: Smiling. Openness. Listen to peers, advisors, people on the way . Greatest area of strength: My ability to connect with people. To level with people, to hear them out and to be flexible. Training for this area:   Be resourceful and pay attention to what's around you.

Your Path will Emerge   Introducing Kyle Parsons Looking toward the future, the paths our life takes doesn't necessarily seem to be interconnected.  However, with the right attitude and openness to new experience we can often look backward and see how our completely unrelated experiences have been linked to a present outcome.  Call it serendipity, fate, happenstance, or destiny, we often find that indirect roads from point A to point B seem to come about  This is just like the story of Kyle Parsons and his company Indosole.  This San Franciscan had previously interned at New Balance shoe company, worked in surf shops managing the sandals section, and had spent time working at a recycling plant in the east coast.  Somewhat unrelated right?  However, Kyle's disjointed experiences seemed to gel during a family surf trip to Bali back in 2004 when he was on the hunt for a fresh pair of sandals.  Coming upon a local market, Kyle saw a really cool pair that was made by local artisans.  The unique thing about these sandals was that the bottoms were made from recycled motorcycle tires.  They weren't the most comfortable, but they were stylish and cool, and upon further research Kyle found out that tire waste was a huge problem in Indonesia.  His past experiences and a chance meeting got the gears grinding in his mind and he returned to Bali in 2006 with the plan to start his own footwear company that would aid the environment, help out the people of Indonesia, and make him some money.  Kyle has since grown his B-Corp from receiving suitcase loads of footwear to container loads and has the goal to repurpose a million tires and keep them from adding to landfills.  Check out this episode of Boiling Point to be inspired by the positive impacts you can make using your past experiences and the right attitude.   In this episode Kyle tells us the story of Indosole and how he never saw himself previously as the head of footwear business. He goes on to tell us about the growth of the company and how a suitcase of sandals being imported is has become container loads. Kyle explains how tires are not the only thing he repurposes for his shoes and his commitment to the Indonesian community. He explains how he got the financing to start the project while working as an on-the-road sales rep. Kyle also tells us how he gets around needing the celebrity endorsement that many footwear companies rely on and how this idea helps to foster community. He also tells us about an incredible opportunity to intern for Indosole in Bali.  Surfs up! Greg is inspired by Kyle's journey and asks how many challenges are right on our doorstep that we could turn into mission based businesses if you let “the rubber hit the road” and have “lots of sole”. Greg and Dave both note how seemingly unrelated events can turn into something so big. Greg recalls how chance encounters ignited his passion and got him partially to where he is today.   Links - The Indosole Website - Indosole's Good Humans - Music from Indosole Good Human Dustin Thomas - Indosole Retail Locator - Indosole on Facebook - Indosole on Instagram - Indosole on Twitter   Learn more about your ad choices.
