We've all heard the phrase ‘the show must go on'.  But when shouldn't the show go on?  To help me answer that, I'm speaking to someone who has spent 35 years managing some of Australia's most iconic large-scale events — from Taylor Swift concerts to public city spectacles with crowds over 200,000, and corporate experiences — and has often faced the question: when should the show really stop?My guest is Iain Morrison, wh,o as well as having a background in events, is now the CEO of a startup that builds hyper‑accurate 3D and VR plans for event venues.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I dig into what happens when the entertainment world's credo — “the show must go on” — becomes a liability, and what it feels like backstage to carry that kind of responsibility. Iain explains the importance of having show‑stop protocols long before trouble arrives — whether it's crowd crush, heart attacks in the crowd, or approaching severe weather. He explains how event organisers need to make decisions in advance so that nobody freezes under pressure, and ensure everyone is aligned on who can stop the show, and how and when to restart it. We also delve into the emotional toll of the event industry — the brutal hours, constant touring, adrenaline highs, and the realities of burnout. Ian talks candidly about putting people at risk by cutting critical breaks and how easily event teams can burn out. Finally, he walks me through his pivot: building a tech startup that uses 3D planning and virtual models to give event teams a fully visual planning tool — reducing surprises, improving safety, and supporting better decisions from the very first draft. GUEST BIOGRAPHYIain is an event manager with over three decades of experience in running major concerts, festivals, and public spectacles across Australia. He has helped deliver live shows for acts like Taylor Swift, U2, Foo Fighters, major public events on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Domain Concert series, with crowds ranging from 5,000 to over 200,000. From high school theatre beginnings to early work at Opera Australia and the Sydney Opera House, Ian transitioned into corporate events, the Olympics, and large public outdoor events. He has worked in high-pressure environments where crowd safety, terrorism threats, public order, and weather call-offs were part of the job on a daily basis. About two years ago, he moved from event delivery to event technology — as CEO and co‑founder of The Imagination Collaborative, Ian now leads a startup building hyper‑accurate 3D and VR planning tools. These digital twins help event teams visualise venue layouts, crowd flows, sightlines, signage, camera positions, evacuation routes and more—before anything is built on site.AI-GENERATED TIMESTAMPED SUMMARY[00:00:00] Introduction[00:02:00] Ian's backstory: school theatre → university → Opera House → major events[00:05:00] Scale of events: from 5,000 attendees to crowds of over 200,000[00:08:00] Types of risk at live events: crowd crush, terrorism threats, medical events[00:12:00] Why events remain largely unregulated worldwide[00:15:00] Concept of a “show stop”: planning for what enables safe cancellation or pause[00:20:00] Decision‑making under stress: protocols versus ego-based pressure[00:25:00] Real scenarios: thunderstorms, crowd reaction, and restart challenges[00:28:00] Emotional cost on crews: burnout, long hours, compressed touring schedules[00:32:00] Industry taboo around mental health and burnout; making it safer for staff[00:36:00] Ian's use of social media to spark conversations on stress, safety and standards[00:40:00] Introduction to Ian's startup: detailed planning with 3D environments and VR[00:44:00] How the tool works: drone scans, venue models, client interaction in virtual space[00:48:00] Benefits: fewer surprises, better sightlines, optimised signage, cost savings[00:51:00] Future plans: integrating crowd simulation, digital twin models, global expansion[00:55:00] Final reflections: the trade‑offs of delivering magic vs ensuring safety[00:57:00] Wrap‑upLINKS Iain on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/iainmorrison1/Iain's website - https://iainmorrison.global/ Iain's startup, The Imagination Collaborative - https://www.theimaginationcollaborative.com/

With special guest: Chris Hammer… in conversation with Bill Kable Sometimes the world of fiction overlaps our day to day life. In speaking with our guest today Chris Hammer we find out that Chris is interested himself in how the characters in his new book Trust will deal with the real life problem of the Covid 19 crisis. As well as Covid there is reference in the book to the 2019/2020 bushfires that swept the nation in unprecedented fury. One of the greatest charms in reading Chris Hammer’s best-selling books is that there is authenticity. For Australians that means familiarity with the settings on the coast and in rural areas for previous books. In Trust the setting is Sydney but not the postcard Sydney in the shadow of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This is the real Sydney populated by real people. Overseas readers are also drawn to this picture of the real Australia and Chris is delighted that his work has been translated into other languages so people in other countries can learn about us.

HECTIC AI SHOWNOTES CAUSE WE ARE LAZY, GOBBLESS. Enjoy! The Two Jacks - Episode 109: Election Update, Tariff Tremors & Online PolicingHosted by: Hong Kong Jack & Jack the InsiderWelcome to Episode 109 of The Two Jacks! This week, Jack and Jackdive into the thick of the Australian federal election, dissect President Trump's latest tariff moves, debate the policing of online speech, and touch on French politics, climate action, and sports.Key Topics Discussed:Australian Federal Election (00:00:20)Campaign Update: Entering the second week.Polling: Labor showing potential for a majority (News Poll 52-48), similar to other polls (51-49 to 52-48), despite a low primary vote (~32.5%). Recalls Labor's 2022 win with a similar primary vote.Leaders' Debate: Discussion of the Sky News debate between Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese. Joel views it as a draw, though Albanese was declared the winner by audience vote (approx. 44-35).Campaign Weaknesses (00:17:45): Both Jacks agree the campaign lacks substance, particularly on crucial issues like productivity and housing affordability. They note the difficulty for citizens needing to live far from CBDs (e.g., South Morang vs. Fitzroy historically) and criticize the parties for avoiding hard decisions.US Tariffs & Global Economy (00:28:00 & 00:48:04)Trump's Tariff Policy: Discussion on the imposition and subsequent 90-day delay of new tariffs on countries like Vietnam (47%), the Philippines (17%), and others. Standard 10% tariff remains elsewhere.Negotiations: Reports of Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan engaging or preparing to negotiate, though Trump's claims about eagerness are questioned. Japan plans a "comprehensive response."Market Impact (00:30:08): Initial $9 trillion market loss, followed by a significant S&P 500 recovery (largest since 2008, but still below January levels). Oil prices jumped, and US bond yields fell, raising debt crisis concerns. Jack emphasizes the importance of bond yields (cost of borrowing for the US government).Motivations & Consequences (00:40:07): Is it an assertion of US economic muscle? Jack notes bipartisan support for the idea (feeling the US gets the short end), but the hosts critique the erratic rollout. Potential consequences include US inflation, slowed GDP growth, and job losses.Listener Feedback (Lawrence) (00:48:04): Criticizes the "schizophrenic" messaging (tariffs fixing jobs and deficits simultaneously) and the floated (but unconfirmed by Trump admin) idea of abolishing income tax.Outlook: Potential shift towards multilateral trade negotiations among other countries.Listener Feedback: ABC Radio (00:45:51)Listener Lawrence reflects on the Jacks' previous comments about changes at ABC Radio, noting a perceived shift in their stance from wanting "new blood" to "bemoaning changes."Joel's Clarification: Concern is about management bringing in people with FM radio backgrounds lacking national broadcaster experience, not against new faces generally.Jack's Clarification: Agrees on needing turnover ("new voices") but questions the strategy of chasing a youth demographic on ABC Radio, suggesting consolidation of the existing audience is better.Social Media Censorship & Online Dangers (UK Focus) (00:51:20)UK Arrests: Report from The Times: British police making ~33 arrests daily in 2023/24 for "offensive" online posts causing "annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety" (12,183 arrests total), a 58% rise since 2019.Policing Concerns: Many arrests lead to questioning and release without charge, raising questions about efficient use of police resources. Jack mentions the decriminalization of burglary adding context.Historical Context (00:54:31): Jack traces the issue back to the late 1990s and the concept of "non-crime hate incidents" arising from the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, arguing it introduced subjectivity and inconsistency compared to investigating objective crimes. He critiques arresting people before establishing if a crime occurred.Nuance & Online Harms (00:56:40): Joel notes arrests might relate to other offenses alongside "malicious communications." While agreeing trivial cases waste resources, he highlights the dark side of social media, including severe online bullying (mentions group "764-JAC") and stalking, arguing police surveillance is needed for serious threats.Under-16 Social Media Ban (01:02:37): Joel reflects on the Albanese government's ban, admitting he initially opposed it but is reconsidering due to the severity of online harms affecting children.French Politics Update (01:03:47)Far-right leader Marine Le Pen vows presidential run, controversially comparing herself to Martin Luther King Jr. and Alexei Navalny.Jordan Bardella (29 y.o. National Rally Chairman) emerges as a potential alternative, stating he could run if Le Pen is unable. Both Jacks see this as a likely and possibly strategically better outcome for the party.Climate Action & Protests (01:06:00)Discussion on Extinction Rebellion protests (e.g., Sydney Harbour Bridge closure) and their effectiveness versus public disruption.Critique of proposed policies like banning private jets or frequent flyer taxes as unworkable and unhelpful grandstanding.Jack jokes he's the "Greta Thunberg of Hong Kong" due to his low carbon footprint (no car, little travel).Sporting RoundupCricket (01:10:00): Sheffield Shield Final recap (Victoria vs WA), WA wins due to finishing top after a draw. Historical anecdote about Bill Ponsford's marathon innings in the 1948 final. Marcus Harris's recent form (161 in Shield, 138 for Lancashire).AFL (01:19:30): Discussion on Tasmania's potential AFL team, stadium funding debates, and the Gather Round concept's success in South Australia and potential future locations.Final Listener Note & Sign Off (01:29:46)Listener CD provides follow-up on a previous discussion about Basil Zempilis, noting his uncle (Con Zempilis) was the Chief Stipendiary Magistrate for Western Australia.The Jacks wrap up Episode 109.

We delve into the thrilling journey of the Aussie Supercross Champion who made his way to the big screen, fresh off his latest movie working alongside Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in "The Fall Guy," which was filmed in Australia. We caught up with Dan in Hong Kong, where he's already immersed in his next film project, to discuss Universal Pictures' tribute to the stunt industry and its homage to the original "Fall Guy." In this episode, we discover how Dan's racing expertise translates into the world of stunts—not just on motorcycles, but in cars, trucks, and action-packed fight scenes. Learn about his transition from racing to becoming fully accredited in the stunt industry and the challenges he faces in his post-racing career. We'll also share some behind-the-scenes insights, including a Guinness World Record set during filming and the extraordinary feat of shutting down the Sydney Harbour Bridge for a show-stopping scene. Tune in to hear how Dan's journey from the racetrack to the film set defines his unique contribution to the stunt world.

Every time I catch up with Box Brownie Founder Brad Filliponi, I learn something new. This time he blew me away with a photo app they've just released that turns anyone with a smartphone into a pro photographer!It's no wonder the sale of high-end and fancy digital cameras is has been plummeting for the last ten years. Your phone is now more than just a computer in your pocket, it's a brilliant, high-performance digital camera producing stunning resolution images, a range of wide and telephone lens settings and simple editing features built in. But I'm sure you already know that.However, there's one thing your phone can't do, and it's a powerful real estate-specific must have!I'm talking about the light-balance issues when shooting images for your latest listing and the light variances that turn an average shot into an image that makes everyone sit up and take notice.Let's say you've just listed an apartment with views over Sydney's Harbour. You walk into a beautiful living room but you can't help but notice the large window because your eyes are drawn to the mighty Sydney Harbour Bridge and the glowing white sales of the world-famous opera house.You can shoot this room with a wider angle setting on your phone but there's a problem: You can take a great shot of the room and a great shot of the harbour view but you can't take both because the light difference for both features in your shot are too extreme.You shoot the room and the harbour is washed out. You shoot the harbour and the beautiful living room is dark.Before founding real estate's number one image editing company Box Brownie with co-founder Mel, he was a real estate photographer with all the fancy gear and lights and editing software to make sure he delivered the very best marketing images for real estate agent clients.But Brad being Brad, dreamed of creating a business that could produce great images for his clients but so much more and for a fraction of the price.Today BoxBrownie.com is the preferred image editing solution for more than 200,000 real estate clients in more than 130 countries.BB's software can virtually stage an empty room (you can't actually tell it's not real!) create floor plans, bring dull images to life, straighten wonky photos, and create a beautiful dusk image of a home that brings out the warmth and color that catches the eye every time.But I digress...Go to your phone and search and download an app called SNAP SNAP SNAP. It looks like thisThis brilliant app lets you take a series of images on your phone (via the app) that you upload to Box Brownie and they'll get you back an amazing looking image where everything is perfectly balanced for light and color. It's a total breakthrough!!Here's the man himself taking you step by step through the process. Don't take any pics with SNAP SNAP SNAP until you've seen this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnjPK0CzJ6E

Thank you for your patience. Uni is almost over. Jack has moved. I hope we are entering into a golden age of podcast content creation. Looking forward to spending a few days researching cooked shit and making fun things for y'all to listen to while doing housework. We have been vaguely calling premiums 'Black Label' for a bit now. But this one's the first one that we have done in proper fast and loose dot pointed fashion. I hope it's not shit. This week we are looking at political hopeful Shane Cuthbert who did some videos next to a nazi flag and had a pretty shit excuse as to why. Did he not notice it was there?!? We look at him a little closer...Eric Trump is an idiot and compares his family's real estate assets to the Mona Lisa. Well, Mona Lisa(s). He is an idiot. Phil made a funny. Zippy is encouraging people to mock the immunocompromised, the elderly and infirm with memes that point and laugh at those who choose to wear masks. AAAAND the world wide rally for freedom half planned an action on the Sydney Harbour Bridge but found some pesky laws prevented them from having their day in the sun. How did they come about? Pesky climate protestors. Damn you lefties!
