The craft of graphic design has changed dramatically since the 80s. Computers. The popularisation of branding. Over the past four plus decades John Rushworth, the design behemoth Pentagram's longest serving partner, has seen it all. Despite these seismic shifts, he believes the thinking and innate human ability it takes to do truly impactful work hasn't changed.  Rushworth has had a huge impact on the world of design. He's delivered graphic solutions to clients across almost every industry from Polaroid to Great Western Railway with his in-dept approach to design. Working closely with his clients, he works to draw out what it is that truly makes them who they are. Then turns them into strategically focused and visually compelling brands. He's also had a huge impact on Vince Frost – he was his boss at Pentagram and the person who has influenced his career and design philosophy more than any other creative.  Growing up in working class Yorkshire, he'd never heard the word design. It was a student teacher at his, “if I'm honest, pretty bad school,” who'd studied the craft that set a task to design an album cover that his eyes were opened. At age 14, he was good. At his Preston College of Art graduation show he was picked up by Conran Design Group. A year later he moved to Pentagram, just in time for their 10th birthday party. In 1987 he became the studio's first associate and two years later was the first employee to be invited to become a partner.  The creative has been member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) since 1994 and a Director of the Outset Contemporary Art Fund since 2012. His work has been exhibited worldwide and has received many international awards including a gold medal at the Lahti Poster Biennale and multiple D&AD silver pencils.   Listen in as Vince and John discuss the business of design, the impact of computers and AI on the design process, and what Vince learned working under him at Pentagram in the 90s.    https://www.pentagram.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After inheriting a Nikon F3 camera from his photographer uncle in his teens, Andrew Quilty set about casually documenting life. Later, when he was studying photography in the day, and working in a bottle shop at night, a regular took an interest in his work. He turned out to be a photo editor at the Fairfax media company; this was a time when Australia newspapers were punching above their weight on a global stage. Fate had set the wheels in motion for a life and career Quilty never could have imagined. Today, Quilty is a multi-award-winning photojournalist whose work has been published by The New York Times, BBC News and TIME Magazine - and garnered accolades worldwide. He's won a World Press Photo Contest award, a Pictures of the Year International award, a Sony World Photography award and six Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley, the highest honour in Australian journalism.  On a two-week assignment in 2013 to shoot the Afghani cricket team he fell in love with Afghanistan and spent the next eight years living in and documenting the wartime country and its people. He's travelled to two thirds of the country's 34 provinces and produced two books on his time there. The first ‘August in Kabul' is a novel about America's last days of occupation, and the second ‘This is Afghanistan' is a visual record designed in by Vince Frost with Wing Lau. Both books are published by The University of Melbourne - ‘This is Afghanistan' will be released this month.  Listen in as Vince and Andrew discuss; the ethics of beautifying death and tragedy, how recently media have become fair game in war zones, and the story behind his harrowing Walkely Award Winning photograph and article ‘The Man on the Operating Table'.  Buy 'This is Afghanistan' - https://www.mup.com.au/books/this-is-afghanistan-hardback See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To Cat Burgess, energy is everything. It's how you inspire the people around you, and it's how you align your personal resources to the things you need to get done in work and life. She believes we need to move away from the idea of managing time, and into an era of managing your energy, focused on bringing the right energy to the right moment.  Cat is a highly skilled industry leader and brand strategist with more than 30 years' experience at the forefront of design, branding and communications. She's worked with Vince Frost for close to two decades, and in her current role as Head of Place at Frost*collective she is passionate about the transformational power of design thinking in shaping places.   She credits her decisiveness and ability to structure ideas into powerful brands to her start as a television journalist. And her appreciation of design to growing up in a house designed by prominent Australian architect Philip Cox, surrounded by ideas, with an artist mother who went to China on cultural exchanges in the 1980s and is still a practicing artist at the age of 90.  Cat has recently been announced as the new AGDA (Australian Graphic Design Association) NSW Chair, making her the first woman to lead the largest chapter of the Australian communication design industry's peak body. A sought-after speaker, she's an advocate for women in leadership positions in the design community and beyond.  Listen in as Vince and Cat discuss managing and making the most of your creative energy, being in the business of opportunity and originality, and how good design can lead to cultural transformation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep 5 of the exclusive 'The Brief is You' series with Vince Frost and Prof. Joel Pearson. Can you design your life?  This is the question Vince Frost asked himself over a decade ago, yes was the answer. Since then he began applying his principles of design to his own life. This helped him find his flow: he became more reflective, more alive to the senses, more in touch with the people in his life and more aware of his value.  In the final episode of the 'The Brief is You' series Vince and Joel delve into designing your life discussing what are some of the most important actions you can take to design the kind of life you want to live.  The pair deep dive into the idea of safe experimentation - the act of testing the waters in your life be it skydiving or something less extreme like learning to ride a horse or taking the pottery course you've always thought about. You never know what you are missing in your life until you try it.  Joel also touches on the importance of routine and why having structure in your life can free your mind to think of more important things, as well as why the secret to achieving your goals is to not tell anyone about them.  Listen in to hear this and many more insightful questions answered in the fifth and final episode of the series.  This time, the brief is you.

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.

“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.

Design Your Life podcast E022 with Vince Frost in conversation with industrial designer and founder of Vert Design, Andrew Simpson. From glassblower to boat maker, eye-wear inventor to car designer and Chopper customiser, Andrew Simpson's design career gives Jony Ive a run for his money. From the intimately hand-crafted to mass-produced industrial products, the range of Andrew's output is phenomenal. He works across all aspects of industrial design, strategy and craft, including industrial and medical products, ceramics, furniture, lighting, consumer electrics, wearable tech, eye-wear, shelters and automotive parts, to find meaning and value in design. Born in Darwin, Andrew grew up in Sydney. A poor student but a natural maker of things, he found his fit as an industrial designer at a young age and after brief spells glassblowing and designing medical products, he founded Vert Design in 2005. Andrew's experimental approach has led to a great diversity of design within Vert, where the expertise he's gained through self-initiated projects has informed work with all sorts of leading Australian and global brands. In this episode, Andrew talks about his love of designers, designing for disability, the things he'd most like to design but hasn't got around to yet, and his maddening habit as to believe that everything could be designed better. Stay tuned for the next episode of Design Your Life featuring London Design Festival co-founder and director, Ben Evans. http://www.vertdesign.com.au/ https://www.frostcollective.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Design Your Life podcast E021 with Vince Frost in conversation with British advertising legend and all-round creative luminary, Sir John Hegarty. One of the most successful, awarded and respected men in advertising, John is an international luminary of the creative scene. A household name in London, he's an uncompromising creative person, accomplished author, rule-breaker and game-changer, who has spent six decades generating ideas that have changed the world. John co-founded TBWA in 1973, before starting Bartle Bogle Hegarty in 1982 with his friends and colleagues, John Bartle and Nigel Bogle. He was creative director of BBH for 30 years, where he created some of the defining campaigns of the decade, such as Audi's “Vorsprung durch Technik” and “The Lynx Effect” for Unilever, which turned Lynx into a global bestseller, as well as the infamous ‘launderette' campaign for Levi's, which sold over 2 million boxer shorts in one year. In 2007, John was knighted for his services to the advertising and creative industries. In this episode, John talks about idiots in the industry and how the management running the show will inevitably lead to another creative revolution in advertising. “Creative people make the changes”, he says. “They need to come back and fight for what they believe in.” A champion of storytelling, a master of challenging the status quo and a true ideas man; on the list of inspiring creative people, he's at the top.

Design Your Life podcast E020 with Vince Frost in conversation with Andrei Dolnikov, Russian-Australian Interior Architect, Architectural Visualiser and Orthodox Hasidic Rabbi. Andrei Dolnikov came to Australia as an 11-year old Russian immigrant with nothing but his family, $2,000 and a Persian rug. After graduating art school in Australia, he made the pilgrimage to Israel where he spent six years living in Jerusalem studying to become an Orthodox-Hasidic Rabbi, rediscovering the spiritual roots that he had been denied while growing up in the Soviet Union. Now, Andrei is a visionary creative leader who specialises in bespoke, considered and memorable architectural images. He started his own business in his spare room in a small Sydney apartment, jokingly referred to as “Suite 9”, after working as a visualiser in Pittsburgh (USA). He has since guided Binyan – a now international studio with locations all over the world – to its place as a leader in the field. In this episode, Andrei reveals his story of discovering his spiritual roots, creating a business in a 2-bedroom apartment while studying full time, working as a practicing rabbi and caring for a wife and two kids. He shares how bringing together the “seemingly contradicting” threads of his life are what excites him most, and how he himself strives to break stereotypes by being a living contradiction: “I want to be the Hasidic *and* the hipster.” Stay tuned for the next Design Your Life episode featuring British advertising legend Sir John Hegarty! binyan.com.au frostcollective.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Design Your Life podcast E019 with Vince Frost in conversation with Anthia Koullouros, Naturopath, Herbalist, Author, Educator and Founder & CEO of Ovvio Organics. Anthia began her pathway to Naturopathy as a 12-year-old child when she discovered the book How To Get Well, written by Paavo Airola in 1971. Growing up in a strictly clean-eating Greek household, she spent her youth mixing herbs and potions to cure all sorts of common ailments for her family and friends. After studying architecture for 9 months at university, Anthia made the switch to Naturopathy after meeting an influential family friend who practiced the therapy, and at the age of 22, she launched her own practice. Today, Anthia Koullouros is the founder & CEO of Ovvio Organics, a naturopath, herbalist, author and educator, determined to make good health simple. Using hand-blended, certified organic teas and tisanes, liquid herbal tonics and elixirs and refreshingly honest nutrition advice, Anthia has helped clients become well and happy for over 24 years. In this episode, Anthia explains how she feels like she was “born into the job” of natural therapy. She recounts her personal journey of learning how to “not let fear run the race” and to trust yourself when running a business. Anthia reveals her secrets for living well, where she discovered that: you have to work on yourself as much as your business, that you need to become comfortable with the uncomfortable parts of life, and advocates a slow-living approach where we are not controlled by our reactive impulses to fear.

“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.

Design Your Life podcast E017 with Vince Frost in conversation with Frankie Ratford, founder of The Design Kids. Frankie always wanted to be a designer in Australia. Following a family holiday to Oz as a child, she made it her goal to study and work here and at 18 made the move from her homeland England to study design in Melbourne. After seeing Vince Frost speak at a design event Frankie became “obsessed” and was determined to land a role with Frost*collective. A few years in, she came to the realisation that full-time studio work was not her dream and decided to travel and reflect on what her creative purpose could be. Almost 10 years later Frankie has become one of the world's leading experts on the Graphic Design industry. Having founded The Design Kids; a global online/office resource bridging the gap between studying and working in design across 33 countries, Frankie has spent over six years on the road building a global design community of 140,000+ people from the ground up. Her new coaching arm takes advantage of all the knowledge she gained, looking at each of the nine business elements from a client perspective and industry perspective. She works with studios as an outside perspective to help get the right clients, position the studio where it needs to head, improve their digital presence and most importantly, their bottom line. In this episode, Frankie relives the moment when she walked away from her successful studio career to make discoveries about what she really wanted and was capable of. Here, Frankie shares her journey from the terrifying but deliberate choice to take the road less travelled and not follow the prescribed career trajectory she'd been told to follow, and how it made her realise the problems in the current state of design education.

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).

Design Your Life podcast Episode 016 with Vince Frost in conversation with Aussie-made-global icons Dare Jennings and Carby Tuckwell, founders of cult brand Deus ex Machina. Dare, founder of quintessential Aussie surf brand Mambo, and Carby, former creative director of Moon Design, launched Deus ex Machina into Australia's cultural consciousness in 2006, with some neatly customised motorcycles and a quaint notion that ‘doing something' is more fun than just ‘owning something'. Deus ex Machina (Day-us ex Mack-in-er; meaning ‘God from the machine' in Latin) is a step bigger than a brand: it's a culture. The pair's openness and enthusiasm strike a chord with people, wherever they are, to celebrate a culture of creativity. In this episode, Dare and Carby relive the moment when they walked away from their highly successful careers, to launch something completely untested and daring. Here, the pair share their journey from what was just an idea to a now thriving global brand, and the secret to living their philosophy of success where: “there's no ‘right way' to do individualism, it's all the same juice.” Stay tuned for Episode 017 featuring Illustrator and Founder of The Design Kids, Frankie Ratford.

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. We have assembled a line-up of women-led businesses that are giving the men a run for their money: Alyce Tran – co-founder of The Daily Edited, this former lawyer has created a monogrammed leather goods business valued at $30million; Anthia Koullouros – founder and CEO of Ovvio Organics, this practising naturopath and herbalist has created a range of award-winning herbal teas and tisanes now sold around the world; Cindy Luken – this food scientist and former chef sold her biscuit empire and is now building a beauty empire, Luk Beautifood, based on lipsticks made from natural products. * Please note our Friday champagne brunch format About Insight by The Office Space Now in its fifth year of production, Insight by The Office Space is a business talk series that brings together innovative entrepreneurs and business leaders to explore burgeoning topics and reveal the secrets of their success under a monthly theme.

Steven is placemaking champion for one reason: to give people a better life. He's a former Melbourne boy turned New York expat who underwent the major life transition of leaving his eponymous creative agency in Melbourne to uproot his young family and live in New York City and take on the role of Chief Marketing Officer for The Howard Hughes Corporation.

The ‘future of work’ and the ‘future of the workplace’ topics have been dominated by talk of automation and AI, however, the future workplace isn’t defined by tech. It’s created for people. Extraordinary advances in technology have completely deconstructed the modern workplace to put human potential first. This paves the way for a more nuanced working landscape that is founded on deep data and cutting edge technology but designed for optimal feel and function. This February The Office Space re-commences its popular Insight program by exploring The Future Workplace, and how it will be crafted with people, not technology, at the fore. Naomi Tosic, Co-founder of The Office Space, will host an expert panel of workplace innovators: William Smart, Founder of Smart Design Studio and multi-award winning Architect, will share the genesis and vision for Stokes 14, the new SDS headquarters within an Alexandria warehouse. Sarah Zerella, Organisational Psychologist for Schiavello International, will reveal her latest research findings on ‘The influence of office layout features on employee perception of organizational culture’; Dr Martin Tomitsch, Associate Professor in Design and the Head of Design Lab at the University of Sydney, will talk on about skills, attributes and attitudes we need for the future.

Design Your Life podcast Episode 011 with Vince Frost in conversation with photographic icons, the Douglas Brothers. British photographer/director siblings Andrew and Stuart Douglas are renowned creatives, known primarily for their rebellious approach to photography and film direction. Having grown up in Southend Essex and later, London, the pair's legacy began in the midst of the London punk movement, where they used their “incorrect” style to snap some of the world's most iconic figures during their youth, including Richard Gere, Morrissey, Timothy Roth and Tilda Swinton. Since then, their work has evolved and continued to disrupt the creative and commercial worlds alike, with their left-of-centre work for Adidas, Coco Cola and Hollywood feature-length films. In this episode, Andrew and Stuart share their personal and professional stories – which are often one in the same. They recount their origins, moving from stills to videos, how working with your brother can simultaneously result in your best work and decade-long feuds, and ultimately how they “find wellness while keeping the hamster-wheel going.” Stay tuned for Episode 012 featuring local Aussie Yoga Guru, Entrepreneur, and Humming Puppy Founder, Jackie Alexander. thedouglasbrothers.com frostcollective.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Insight: Climate Changemakers On September 2015 at an historic UN Summit, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development were agreed by 193 members of the UN General Assembly officially came into force. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. Despite our wealth of natural and economic resources, Australia’s overall response to climate change is appalling. The Climate Change Performance Index has ranked us 57 out of 60 countries, and rated China’s climate efforts as higher than Australia’s. Thankfully, large-scale corporate initiatives, standout sustainability ambassadors, and a groundswell of grass roots activists are embracing transformation and taking up the cause.

Insight: Fluid Cities “Urban design within a complex city can be understood as a kind of ‘urban choreography’, not a micromanagement of the form or the life of the city, but a practice of framing, shepherding, enabling and constraining.” Kim Dovey (Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Melbourne) This month, in conjunction with Right Angle Studio and as part of the Sydney Architecture Festival, Insight considers the role of architects and an army of data scientists, placemakers, urban planners, sustainability experts and policy makers to keep our cities connected, considered, and liveable. In the face of increasing density, diversity and demand, we consider how cities can be more “fluid”, more organic and adaptive, surging and receding in step with the changing needs of its inhabitants. We also ask how movement flow can be improved across and between cities, and how to create compelling and functional public and private spaces where people can pool and gather. Helping us to understand the role of design, planning and good policy in managing the ebbs and flows of a city in flux are our panel guests: Philip Vivian, Director, Bates Smart: Philip has led the Sydney studio of Bates Smart for over 20 years picking up no less than 24 AIA Design Awards along the way. Philip is highly sought for his vision and critical thinking, he talks regularly on cities, density, tall buildings and sustainable urban development. Kim Crestani, Director, Order Architects/City Architect, Parramatta City Council: A member of the Urban Design Review Panels for the NSW SICEEP (Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct), Westconnex and Sydney Metro City & Southwest projects, Kim founded the multi-award-winning Order Architects almost immediately after graduating 30 years ago. Bruce Taper, Director, Kinesis: With 20 years’ experience in sustainability and planning, the former director of Sustainability and Metropolitan Planning for the NSW Department of Planning founded Kinesis in 2007 and has since delivered the groundbreaking PRECINX rating tool for Landcom and the Decentralised Energy Master Plan for the City of Sydney.

Vince Frost is a world renown designer, author, creative impresario, and one of the most brilliant thinkers on human centered design that I know. He is the founder and Executive Creative Director of Frost*collective, Sydney. We met almost a decade ago, when I approached him to design my first book, ‘Futuretainment’ which was published by Phaidon. His inspired work on that book led to a design award by the Art Director’s Club in New York. Before starting Frost* Design, Vince was the youngest Associate Director at Pentagram. In 2004, he relocated to Sydney and, as Executive Creative Director of Frost*collective, has lead a wide range of projects for clients such as Deutsche Bank, Qantas, Frasers Property and the Sydney Opera House. His latest book is called, ‘Design Your Life’, and is well worth a read. Vince dropped around to my beach pad in Bondi for a coffee, and we took the time to chat about the future of design, and how everyone, even business leaders, could benefit from thinking more like designers.

This week on The CMO Show, hosts Mark and JV are joined by dynamic duo Ronni Kahn, CEO and founder of OzHarvest, and Vince Frost, CEO and founder of the Frost* Collective. Recounting the rise of OzHarvest as Australia's first food rescue organisation, Kahn delves into the details of her social entrepreneurialism, demonstrating the power of meaningful storytelling and the importance of design in brand reinvention – the latter leading to the business "marriage" of Kahn and Frost that's lasted four years and is still going strong. "The turning point for OzHarvest was having Vince help us with our brand, look, collateral, and design because it took us stratospherically from where we were to where we are today," Kahn said. With 25 years experience and a wealth of expertise in design thinking, Frost understands the power behind his art form. "Design has so much power today and people recognise that power more than ever before," he said. "It's all about ideas. OzHarvest is an idea. How strong is that idea? The idea is phenomenally strong. I think that's the key thing. It's working out what's... what's the unique point of difference."
