Podcast appearances and mentions of jess scully

In 2024, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) held a panel discussion on Degrowth as part of their Centre for Ideas series. The panellists were Tommy Wiedmann (Professor of Sustainability Research), Bronwen Morgan (Professor of Law and member of NENA), and Sabrina Chakori (CSIRO researcher). The discussion was hosted by former Deputy Lord Mayor and author of Glimpses of Utopia, Jess Scully. The panel explored sustainability and the urgent challenge of ensuring human needs are met without compromising a sustainable and inclusive future. With the kind permission of UNSW Centre for Ideas, the recording of this panel discussion is now available to listen to on the Post-Growth Australia Podcast (PGAP). Tommy Wiedmann has been a supporter of PGAP since our early days in 2021, so it was great to hear him in his element, sharing his research, knowledge, and ideas on Degrowth. We really appreciate Tommy and panel host Jess Scully giving PGAP a shout-out towards the end of the talk. We hope to return the favour by sharing this insightful discussion, which serves as an excellent introduction to Degrowth for those new to the topic. It is encouraging to see Degrowth becoming an openly discussed subject in Australian universities. Tommy also wrote a very encouraging review for PGAP on Apple Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/post-growth-australia-podcast/id1522194099). We warmly invite you to add your review. This will help to broaden our outreach and encourage new listeners. Please also feel welcome to contact us (https://pgap.fireside.fm/contact) with your feedback or suggestions for future episode topics. Co-hosts Mark Allen (https://holisticactivism.net/) and Michael Bayliss (https://michaelbayliss.org/)share their thoughts on the panel discussion in the introduction and conclusion. For the most part, we align with the perspectives of the four panellists, but we also provide additional thoughts on how the Degrowth movement can incorporate concerns around population, which we briefly touch on in our commentary. For a more in-depth analysis, we encourage you to read the PGAP blog: “To populate or not to populate? How we can come together around the eternal debate of everyone's favourite vexed issue. (https://pgap.fireside.fm/articles/population)” We also encourage listening to two recent PGAP episodes on population, including Anne Poelina (https://pgap.fireside.fm/annepoelinapatron), who brings a First Nations' perspective to the debate, and Isaac Kabongo (https://pgap.fireside.fm/isaaceco), who brings a Ugandan/Global South perspective. Regarding the discussion on population, Tommy cited two particularly relevant scientific articles, which are well worth reading: Lamb, W.

This week we're revisiting some of the spirit and empowered thinking that emerged from the chaos of 2020, with a conversation we had at the time with the deputy lord mayor of Sydney, Jess Scully. Jess is an extraordinary young councillor who is helping bring more voices to the political table, while creating pathways to reclaim public spaces, address housing problems, and enable more resilient and connected cities and communities. Jess is also an arts curator and writer, a passionate advocate for the role of creativity in our lives. At the time we caught up with her, she had just released her first book, Glimpses of Utopia: Real Ideas for a Fairer World. It's a wonderful conversation that spans her experiences in politics, advocating for more participatory forms of democracy, her vision for our cities, as well as what was coming for her at the time as young mum four months into the pandemic. Jess is chatting with our programming manager at Small Giants Academy, Eleanor Gammell.

Our guest today is creative industries innovator, Councillor, and Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney Jess Scully. Jess tells Mia about her childhood in the Western suburbs and Central Tablelands and on the Chilean coast; her high school discovery of Newtown's cultural life and her transformation into a 90s suburban Triple J kid; her post-school years, where her legal studies succumbed to her busy schedule editing and publishing creative mags; constantly finding herself in "disrupted" industries (and where that led her professionally); and her eventual tilt for and ascendency in political office.

Doomscrolling can convince us the world is full of evil people - but bad news is only part of the story. Curator and councillor Jess Scully's new book, Glimpses of Utopia, highlights stories from around the world where people respond to crises with hope and help. In Kenya and Bangladesh slums are being transformed to safe havens, and care workers are reclaiming control in India and Lebanon. Likewise, Dutch popular historian Rutger Bregman reveals that humans are not destructive and selfish, but innately communal and cooperative.  What new possibilities can we imagine for society, politics, and economics, if we accept that human beings are inherently peaceful and friendly? Enjoy this conversation between two radical optimists who look to a sustainable and inclusive future.

We hear plenty about the main show in Canberra and state politics, but what does local government mean in the Australian political landscape? Deputy Lord Mayor of City of Sydney, Jess Scully joins Adam Peacock to chat about the importance of local government, how it perhaps affects us more than state or federal politics and the tricky nature of being neighbours with the people that did or didn't vote you in.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jess Scully is the Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney as part of "Team Clover". This year she released her debut book Glimpses of Utopia: Real Ideas for a Fairer World, which draws on her own experience and actual examples from all over the world on how people are doing politics, democracy, work and environmental action differently. Jess is a delightful, passionate and optimistic person who inspired me to shake out of my current cynical, black pill-ed view of the world (as Jess says, under neoliberalism, "We have internalised the impossibility of change"). We discussed why it's worth thinking about utopia and how we can get there, citizens' juries, workers' co-ops, the financialised economy and how the alternative ways of organising society are already playing out in the world right now.

“In the twenty-first century, more than ever before, effective leadership is about serving others.” James Strock, author of “Serve to Lead: 21st Century Leaders Manual” One of the many impacts of the Digital Revolution has been a move from transactional to relational interactions.

Effective and empathetic leadership, applied within a team context, creates a compassionate and cohesive workplace culture.

Innovation is the lifeblood of any company in an era of disruption, and the new currency for achieving the competitive edge. Once a hallmark of success, being a legacy company can be a liability in today’s economy if a corporation cannot ‘pivot’, ‘transform’, and stay ‘agile’. This month, Insight brings three innovators to the stage, to discuss the heady mix of mindset and means that delivers innovation with impact: • Ean Evans, Partner and Intelligent Automation Leader at EY brings innovation to complex enterprise programs. Ean led the recent Sydney University AI Hub project which won the Global Blue Prism Rookie of the Year Award for Robotic Process Automation Implementation. • Sally-Ann Williams, CEO of Cicada Innovations, Australia’s home of Deep Tech and winner of Best incubator in the world (2018). Sally-Ann was Executive Program Manager at Google Australia for 12 years where she led research collaborations with universities and entrepreneurship and startup engagement. • Paul Edwards, General Manager Workplace Experiences at Mirvac, winner of Most Innovative Property company (2019).

Philanthropy today is more organized, strategic, and global than ever before. Driven by the belief that we all have a responsibility to each other and to the planet, and mobilised by technology and newfound connectivity, today’s next generation philanthropists are drawing on best practice from the private sector and the innovations of technology to tackle some of the intractable wicked problems of our era. This set of individuals and corporations have greater resources, power, position and prerogative to participate in the solution. Their approach to philanthropy mirrors the rigour, structure, and expectations of investment return of the for-profit world, and they invest for impact. This month Insight takes an inspiring look at three individuals who personify the tireless optimism and activism of new wave philanthropy, participating in the benevolent business of make our communities, our country and our world a better place: • Clare Ainsworth Herschell was inaugural Next Gen Development Manager at the Art Gallery of NSW for 4 years, and is Clare now putting her full energies to combatting climate change with initiatives such as an annual trip to the Heron Island research station with Professor Tim Flannery and other change-makers across multiple industries. • Hamish Balnaves is CEO of the Balnaves Foundation and represents the second-generation philanthropy. His degree in Economics from Sydney University and his 10-year career as a teacher has put him in good stead to make strategic and informed decisions as the foundation disperses over $3 million annually to not-for-profit organisations that aim to create a better Australia through education, medicine and the arts. • Jane Jose is CEO of the Sydney Community Foundation. She brings decades of experience in working with the design professions, government leaders and corporate Australia to her philanthropy work at the Sydney Community Foundation. Through place-based giving and support for grassroots organisations, the foundation works to protect, support and enable women and girls in greater Sydney to thrive and fill their life’s aspirations.

Polish Club talks to someone who is actually stoked about releasing a second album; Montaigne. After getting out all their anxiety about touring and having a relationship with your audience, the conversation naturally bends towards John Mayer. Then, in an attempt to reframe the meaning behind the album 'Iguana', Tom gets Novak and JH face-to-face with an actual iguana. Things are... nice. || Visit www.Montaignemusic.com.au for links to Montaigne's album, 'Complex', where you can hear the song 'READY' from this episode. Huge thanks to Taronga Zoo!

“The best investment on earth is earth.” Louis Glickman, an American real estate investor, and philanthropist Over the 230 years of European settlement, we have been dividing and conquering and subdividing this great southern land. As the engine room of our built environment, Australia’s construction industry comprises 8% of the GDP, contributing $134.2 billion to the country’s economy. The sector, spanning civil, commercial and residential projects, employing over 1.1 million people. Intrinsically related to the construction industry are the commercial and residential property markets. As of December 2012, the estimated Australian institutional-grade commercial property stock was AU$681 billion in 2012. The size of the core property investment market (office, retail and industrial) is AU$280 billion of which approximately AU$195 billion (70%) is owned by Australian Institutions. At its 2017 peak, Australia’s housing market was valued at $6.9 trillion (ABS 2018). Australians reportedly spend twice as much time researching property than exercising at the gym (1.08 hours) or speaking to their parents (0.88 hours). This month Insight looks at property from the lens of residential, commercial and construction sectors. Ivan Bresic started a real estate internship at age 17 and in 2003 partnered with Shannan Whitney to form Bresic Whitney from a two-man band to a team of around 100 staff within 4 offices located in Darlinghurst, Glebe, Balmain & Hunters Hill. Josephine Sukkar AM is Principal and Co-Owner of Buildcorp which employs over 300 staff and has revenue of $500 million. She Chairs Buildcorp’s charitable entity the Buildcorp Foundation and is President of Australian Women’s Rugby. Barrie Barton is the founder of Right Angle Studio, a company on a mission to understand and improve life in our cities. Their placemaking prowess is sought by commercial property developers and institutional landlords to create commercially and culturally successful urban environments.

“All that matters is talent. Talent wins.” Ed Michaels, a Director of McKinsey & Company (2018) who first coined the ‘War For Talent’ rubric in 2008 Across the globe and across all industries, a company’s success is predicated on how well they attract, engage, retain and develop their human ‘talent’. If you want to win big in the war for talent, you need to understand how dramatically the landscape has changed, and what your workers want. Business owners and leaders fear losing their workers to competitors, or to the lure of self-employment. On the flip side, most workers (85% according to Gallup’s 2017 State of the Global Workplace report) are disengaged and dissatisfied with their jobs. What they need is a better match up – the right person for the job, and the right environment within which they can thrive. To help us understand how to utilise recruiting strategies and cultural engagement propositions to appeal to an increasingly complex and diverse talent ecosystem, we have assembled a panel of experts: Esther Clerehan is THE go-to recruiter for the creative industry, having worked with some of the world’s biggest agencies and the industry’s brightest minds. She is a dedicated mentor and coach (2018 Mentor of the Year, B&T Women in Media Awards), and knows how to achieve a winning match between talent and workplace; Shane Currey is Leader of Employee Experience within Deloitte’s Human Capital practice and TED speaker on unleashing creativity in corporations. He works with clients to co-create a complete workplace experience that unites workers and engages them in work that is productive, motivating and enjoyable; Kate Messenger is Director of Meme Partners, a specialist consultancy, engaging employees to put more into and get more out of their work. Kate and her team help create meaning in the workplace, by finding alignment between organisational priorities and employees’ core needs.

In our post-truth era credible and measured public discourse has given way to emotive rhetoric, opinionated half-truths, and downright lies. With the advent of social media our democratic privilege to freedom of speech has metastasised out of control. What is the true and right is hard to parse when even “truth isn’t truth”, as infamously retorted by Rudy Giuliani when questioned about the Russia investigation on NBC’s “Meet the Press” (Aug. 19, 2018). To discuss the erosion of truth throughout institutions, politics, media and every level of society we have assembled an expert panel: Kate McClymont is a leading investigative journalist in Australia, having spent 3 decades unearthing scandal, corruption and fraud from the seedy underbelly to the highest levels of government; Reverend Toby Neal is an ordained Anglican Minister and weaves together pop culture, philosophy, anthropology, and the arts to speak to share Biblical truths; Professor Nick Enfield is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Sydney and Head of ‘The Sydney Initiative for Truth’ (SIFT).

In Australia women represent only 34 per cent of entrepreneurs, but the number of female entrepreneurs is growing at a faster rate than for men. Showing resilience in the face of glass ceilings, gender bias, pay gaps, and hugely disproportionate VC funding, a new breed of female founders is taking the start-up world by storm. This month The Office Space honours the female founders working against the odds to make their business idea a commercial reality.
