I got to chat to the wonderful Peter Brennan. Pete is the co-founder of the non-alcoholic Aussie beer sensation Heaps Normal. He also owns a Branding and Design Studio called, Electric and Analog. Interestingly, this week I was in Melbourne, having a drink in a pretty swanky cocktail bar. The guy sitting at the bar next to me was drinking Heaps Normal. And I have to say, I don't think that would have happened a few years ago, especially with the way Aussies love to drink. So, this incredible beer is changing drinking culture, challenging what's normal and offering a beautiful solution to what is a huge problem for a lot of people. In this episode we dive into why some ideas fly and others don't. You see Pete's launched a few businesses before this one but never had the success Heaps Normal is having. So What's the difference you might ask and why did this one blow up? It's definitely a few things like timing, having the right people and skills but I'd say it's all about purpose. Pete has a very personal motive driving him and he's deeply connected to the brand's purpose. In this episode you'll hear Pete's story from growing up with an abusive alcoholic father and his own struggles with alcohol and why he had to scratch his own itch. Pete took on the crazy challenge of creating a non-alcoholic beer that actually tastes good! Pete gives us all a creative challenge and it's got to do with finding your purpose. I hope you enjoy the episode. You can find Peter Brennan at his branding and design studio Electric and Analog or on LinkedIn.

This is our 2nd episode in a mini-series that looks at how design can help combat stigma. For this episode we are again at the Design Conference in Brisbane, sitting on the turbine hall stage chatting with Peter Brennan, Founder & Creative Director of Electric & Analog and co-founder and head of brand for non-alcoholic beer Heaps Normal. Pete has had an amazing career, right across the globe, from art directing for Quicksilver in South Africa, directing innovation at ATOMIC 212° in Australia and working at top agencies in the UK, he has had a wide range of experience across all parts of the industry. It was through a few discussions that we thought Pete would be perfect for this mini-series, specifically around the role that Heaps Normal is taking in the alcohol category, where they are promoting mindful drinking, being conscious about what's normal for you and trying to promote a sustainable change to Australia's drinking habits. Their ad this July really caught a lot of attention where they suggested doing your best, cutting back, rather than complete abstinence — acknowledging that different things work for different people.

CONSEJOS PARA LOS PAYASOS DE LA OEA-CIDH A LA CABEZA DE ALMAGRO, EL ZURDO SIRVIENTE DEL GLOBALISTA CHOROS. Por Marianela Montenegro Si son serios, que lo dudo, deberían comenzar las investigaciones con todos los cerebros grises que desde la Embajada Americana han operado violencia en territorio ajeno y denuncio públicamente a los zurdos demócratas seguidores de Joe Biden y de Obama, Jim Shultz, Peter Brennan, Tom Shanon, Charisse Philips Michael Mckinley, Joe Eldridge y a las terroristas de la ONG WOLA, Noah Friedman, como autores intelectuales de los destrozos, a Kathryn Ledebur, a Linda Farthing, a la esposa de Juan RamonQuintana, Loreta Tellería, miembro del mismo equipo y de la ONG RESDAL. También denuncio públicamente a Evo Morales y el resto de su organización criminal y a los payasos globalistas de la OEA, si en verdad quieren indagar algo comiencen por las grabaciones de Evo Morales incitando a la violencia, al terrorismo, al bloqueo, donde ordena específicamente bloquear las ciudades para "que no entren alimentos", otra idea para los payasos de la CIDH, muñecos de Soros, es que la investiguen a Eva Copa, su conviviente fue el que contrató, por orden de ella, la grúa que daría fin con la pasarela y otros muros de la planta de almacenaje deYPFB, otra buena idea es consultar a Yucra que ya fue liberado, qué órdenes más le dio el pedófilo?, para sembrar el terror en las ciudades. Estos cómplices del fraude, me refiero a los de la CIDH que encabeza Luis Almagro, también deberían investigar sobre el dinero del narcotráfico que esparcieron por todas las calles de Bolivia, deberían buscar criminales, bloqueadores, dinamiteros y terroristas, que expliquen qué hacían argentinos, venezolanos, iraníes en territorio boliviano metidos en las revueltas cocaleras?, que miren también que el despreciable gobierno de Evo Morales mandó a imprimir billetes nuevos en grandes cantidades Y en lugar de incinerar los billetes viejos los puso a repartir entre campesinos, jugando con su miseria y tentandolos a salir a ofrendar sus vidas con actos terroristas. Claro eso no investigaran porque obviamente estos, que han auspiciado el fraude en Bolivia, que son supuestos defensores de Derechos Humanos, trabajan para Soros, para los demócratas de izquierda estadounidenses, que también han hecho fraude en Estados Unidos, entonces, mejor es que se vayan por dónde han venido, porque nadie les cree, son una manada de sinvergüenzas.

We head down under this week to our home country of Australia and review a natural horror film filmed out in the outback about a giant boar.

So, we come to the end of another calendar year, wow, thank you for all the support and listening to us each week as we look at topics we feel deserve more attention. Now this episode we are doing a year in review and discuss what some of our favourites were, what we felt were some of the highlights and what was just downright funny. So strap in as we look back on a year full of robots, space travel, recycling, and the energetic joy of Katie Bouman, and that is just the start. We also go for a ride looking at the movies and tv series that have made us laugh, cry, scream, and sit in awe throughout the year. We discuss the controversy of crazy violence and insanity in movies such as Rambo – Last Blood. Yep some one has claimed it is… Nope you will need to listen in to know what is happening. Also we look at the year in games and take stock of what has happened. We laugh at some of it, get annoyed at some, and shake our heads in bewilderment at others. We recap what has been some of the most exciting and stand out moments for us this year in terms of topics. We also include some special shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and events for the end of the year. So as the year draws to a close and the dawn of a new one creeps over the horizon we once more ask you to take care of yourselves, look out for each other, and stay hydrated. 2019 in Science - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_in_science2019 in Movies, TV & Anime - https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/biggest-movie-news-2019/- https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-movies-2019/- https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-tv-2019/2019 in Gaming - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_in_video_gamingOther topics discussed Kirigami Robots- https://www.inverse.com/article/61662-self-folding-kirigami-robotsBoston Dynamics- https://www.bostondynamics.com/New Horizons (interplanetary space probe that was launched as a part of NASA's New Frontiers program.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_HorizonsSpaceX Dragon (reusable cargo spacecraft developed by SpaceX, an American private space transportation company.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_DragonMaking breathable Oxygen using comets- https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/comet-inspires-chemistry-making-breathable-oxygen-marsE-Scooters are not green enough- https://phys.org/news/2019-08-e-scooters-green-options.htmlTextile Recycling - https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2019-06-15/textile-recycling-fashion-old-clothes-waste/11197904Black Hole image makes history- https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/news/black-hole-image-makes-history- https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47873592Katie Bouman: American computer scientist working in the field of computer imagery.
