Singer-songwriter and Australian Idol winner Wesley Dean (formerly Wes Carr) didn't want a relationship like his parents had: "I remember thinking, that's not my story." Wes and his wife Charlotte are visiting Cam and Ali in the bathroom today - all the way from Nashville, Tennessee. During their visit, Wes squirms as Charlotte shares the 'creative' tactics he employed when they first met. The couple also discuss being thrust into the public eye shortly after getting together, starting again from scratch in the US, being screwed over by managers, working with Country music legends, and keeping their kids connected to Aussie culture through backyard cricket.

Guest Joel Wasserman Panelists Richard Littauer | Justin Dorfman Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. Our guest today has been on this podcast before, and we are super excited to have him back on. Joining us is Joel Wasserman, co-founder and Founder of Flossbank and Software Engineer at Google. Today, we'll find out what happened to Flossbank and what's happening next as Joel tells the story of how the idea of Flossbank came about, and the challenges and lessons he's learned along the way. He goes in-depth about the need for funding, the ginormous difference between an open source author and an open source maintainer, and diversity in open source. Download this episode now to hear more! [00:01:23] What is Flossbank? [00:05:59] Onboarding can be difficult, and Joel fills us in on some lessons he's learned. [00:09:53] Richard brings up a point of finding the right person, and wonders what issues Joel had was because he was the middleman or something else, and if it's hard to find money for any project in open source. Joel mentions Nadia Eghbal's book as the best book he's ever read on the open source ecosystem. [00:12:58] Justin talks about a blog post Joel wrote last June on “The Flossbank Attempt,” where he made a comment “don't hesitate to reach out,” and he tells us what other projects are actively asking him for advice. [00:15:20] We hear what Joel thinks of the benefits of GitHub sponsors and Open Collective are in comparison to his and why they're able to garner some money, and his thoughts on that part of the ecosystem. [00:18:26] Joel tells us if there will be any sort of government grants going down the dependency tree and if he's thought about that kind of money coming into the system and if there are benefits. [00:22:26] We hear what Joel thinks about the idea the maybe Flossbank was never going to work because there's isn't as much altruism in the world from companies and that he's asking for something that's impossible. [00:29:38] Joel talks about payment mechanisms and something cool they did with Flossbank, working with a company called Coil that uses Interledger. [00:32:13] Joel details his realistic and optimistic view on people wanting to invest in open source and getting money off it, and about diversity in open source. [00:38:50] Find out where you can follow Joel on the web. Quotes [00:05:04] “What we didn't know and what we quickly found out is that a lot of companies want to have a relationship with the maintainer they are donating to.” [00:06:21] “Small companies, startups, are acutely aware of the open source they rely on.” [00:18:53] “People just take it for granted and they say, “Well, why should I fund it if the next person isn't funding it?” [00:22:48] “There's a ginormous rarely spoken difference between an open source author and an open source maintainer. An author chooses to put that license up. An author has given no promise to working on this, to securing it toward making sure that other companies get what they want, bug fixes, future maintenance, making sure their dependencies, no guarantees.” [00:24:00] “Open source maintainers are what I'm advocating to get paid and open source maintainers are the ones who are keeping code up to date, making sure it's secure, making sure the dependencies are up to date, making sure the dependencies are secure, those people are putting in work.” [00:28:09] “Maintainership is work. It's a triage of bugs, a triage of feature requests, it's actual improvements to a package, it's a long-term commitment, it's a dramatically different persona and role than author.” [00:32:26] “You should be giving to your entire open source dependency tree because you don't know what you depend on, or you don't know what maintainer needs that money to do their work, to keep their package secured, to keep their package up to date until it breaks.” Spotlight [00:39:01] Joel's spotlight is Nadia Eghbal's book, Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software. [00:40:01] Justin's spotlight is the Open Technology Fund. [00:40:19] Richard's spotlight is the book, Sacred Economics: Money, Gift & Society in The Age of Transition by Charles Eisenstein.

Guest Dudley Carr | Wes Carr Panelists Richard Littauer | Justin Dorfman Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. On this episode, we have two guests joining us. Today, we'll be talking with Dudley Carr and Wes Carr, who are brothers and Founders of StackAid, which is a monthly subscription you can use to automatically fund all of your dependencies. We'll be discussing all things StackAid, learn more about Wes and Dudley's backgrounds, some long-term goals they have, and exciting things on the horizon for StackAid. Go ahead and download this episode now to learn more! [00:02:43] Wes tells us what StackAid is and how it's different. Also, he explains why they chose to only fund first and second order. [00:05:44] Since StackAid's goal is to help developers get money for their careers, we find out how many users are using the platform, how many maintainers, and their corporate sponsor. [00:06:58] In 2006, their start-up got acquired, so we hear about that start-up. [00:09:17] Dudley worked at Google and then switched to Moz and started working on Node.js stuff, and he explains when he made the decision to start tackling dependency payments, helping maintainers, and how they're self-funding the work. [00:13:41] We'll find about Sentry being the only corporate sponsor currently for StackAid and why the most important base they can rely on is individual developers. [00:19:14] Richard wonders what Wes and Dudley are going to do to convince developers to donate more of their money besides putting out content and they explain what their focus is right now. [00:22:23] A question comes up if Wes or Dudley have looked into the minimum viable income that they think has an effect on a project's health. [00:24:49] We hear what Wes and Dudley are doing to help diversify the developer stack and how they allocate their funds. [00:28:59] Dudley explains the reasons why they have zero guides to for people to tell them how they should spend their money in order to make the project more sustainable. [00:31:44] Wes shares the hardest part about building StackAid so far, and some long- term goals and exciting things coming up for StackAid. [00:38:08] Find out where you can follow along with Wes and Dudley online. Quotes [00:08:13] “We attended a peer-to-peer conference back in the day where Shawn Fanning was attending this kind of stuff, and then we bumped into some Google people.” [00:09:30] “Wes and I have been close to open source for a very long time. We've consumed it since the late nineties and have benefited from it tremendously.” [00:10:36] “We wanted to make a concrete contribution back into the open source community in some form.” [00:17:16] “I think evangelism is super important.” [00:17:50] “It's like saying I'm not going to recycle, but I expect the company that I work for to recycle.” [00:23:50] “There's an amount of space that we need to be able to buy people and give them that freedom and that cushion so that they can think of new things or reinvest it in things that they've done.” Spotlight [00:38:54] Justin's spotlight is asdf. [00:39:40] Richard's spotlight is Donald Hall's and his essay, The Third Thing: Poet Donald Hall on the Secret to Lasting Love (The Marginalian). [00:40:16] Dudley's spotlight is the NSQ project. [00:40:52] Wes's spotlight is Benthos.

On the 52nd Episode of All Heart with Paul Cardall, the award winning pianist and host talks to one of Australia's biggest stars, Wesley Dean, formerly known as Wes Carr. He didn't need to leave Australia. For more than a dozen years, Wesley had been one of the continent's best-known artists, armed with a larger-than-life voice that catapulted songs like "You" to the top of the Australian charts. Even so, the Adelaide native found himself boarding an American-bound plane in early 2021, his wife and two sons at his side, the entire family heading toward their new home in Nashville. Paul and Wesley talk about being on a national television show that told his story. They talk about his new album that explores leaving his hometown and moving his family to another country. All Heart with Paul Cardall is sponsored by J.D. Netto's novel, The Broken Miracle, a 2-part fictional series with characters and real events inspired by the life of Paul Cardall, a world-renowned pianist born with only half a heart.

The show had launched him to stardom, but it was the time he'd already spent honing his craft — the Motown songs he sang during childhood; the three-hour shows he played in Sydney pubs as a teenager; the critically-acclaimed band, Tambalane, he formed with Silverchair's Ben Gillies at 21 years old — that readied him for the spotlight. Inspired to blur the lines between roots-rock, soul, and folk with his solo career, he made that initial trip to Nashville in search of likeminded collaborators. Years later, he returned to Nashville looking for something else: a new beginning.  "I was chasing down a life-long dream," Dean says, who'd spent the immediate years before his American migration living in a sea shanty town on the Sunshine Coast, quietly reevaluating his priorities. The Sunshine Coast's leisurely pace had been a godsend, allowing Dean a break from the career he'd been relentlessly pursuing since boyhood. He briefly stepped away from music during that time… and when he returned to it, he did so on his own terms, writing songs that mixed heartland hooks with heart-baring honesty. Starting with "Never Goin' Back to the Darkside" and "Where Only You and I Remain," a new album began taking shape, one whose creation would soon take Dean halfway across the world.  With its mix of authentic Americana and modern-day roots music, unknown is an album about departures and arrivals. These 14 songs tell the autobiographical story of Dean's life-changing relocation, bookended by the cathartic "Leave Adelaide Alone" — which opens the record with ringing electric guitars, accordion, and a meteoric chorus — and the album-closing title track, a soulful piano ballad that unfolds like a conversation between Dean and the loved ones he's left behind. Recorded in his newly-adopted hometown of Nashville and written on both sides of his transpacific flight, unknown marks the rebirth of an artist who's scaled the long ladder of success, enjoyed the view from the top, and taken a much-needed breather… only to rededicate himself to the climb all over again. For Wesley Dean, the journey began when he was 8 years old. A gifted vocalist, he honed his chops by singing along to Jackson 5 classics like "I'll Be There" and "Mama's Pearl" at a young age, then became a fixture on Sydney's barroom stages as, Wes Carr, before he could legally drink. Appearing on Australian Idol made Carr a household name across the continent, and he released two gold-certified singles in the wake of his first-place finish, along with a studio album that peaked at Number 2 in his homeland. He later reclaimed his independence after spending multiple years on a major label's roster, continuing to play some of Australia's biggest stages — from Sydney Opera House to Melbourne's Palais Theatre — along the way.After a decade, the rigors of the road grew wearisome for the songwriter, who'd become a family man since his full-length debut blazed its path up the charts. It was time for a change of scenery. "We moved to the Sunshine Coast in pursuit of a quieter, simpler life," he says. "We had no plan and not a lot of money, but those five years turned out to be the greatest times of our lives. There were new friends and palm trees and barbecues every Saturday. The wine was flowing. It was like semi-retirement, in a way." Dean began spending less time on tour and more time with his family. He stopped writing as often. Music was once his north star, but now it was something distant, its light waning by the day. Yet even as he questioned his career path, he found himself unable to shake the feeling that there was more work to be done. Staying behind while his wife and children left town for a 10-day vacation, Dean found himself alone in the family's beach house, acoustic guitar in hand, ready to see if the muse would still answer when he knocked. It did. What followed was the most fruitful songwriting period of his career. For 10 days, Dean threw himself into the creative process, finishing 20 songs before his family returned. The experience helped restore his creative drive and open his musical floodgates once again, and when the time came for another change of scenery, Dean steered the family toward Nashville.   unknown nods to that personal history, but this is an album about the present, not the past. Not long after landing in Tennessee, Dean got back to work, writing more songs about regrets, big risks, and fresh starts. He also reconnected with some of the collaborators he'd met during his first trip to Tennessee, including engineer Justin Cortelyou, and forged partnerships with new friends like co-writer Fred Wilhelm. They worked fast, capturing every spark of inspiration and fanning the flames into something big and bright. Together, the musicians layered piano-driven tracks like "That's Why I'm Here" with organ and light percussion, added swirls of atmospheric guitar to "Never Thought Of You," and channeled heartland heroes like Tom Petty on the driving, determined "Hello, I Love You, Goodbye." "I'd write a song and immediately record it," Dean remembers of those inspired months, which mirrored the creative growth spurt he'd experienced on the Sunshine Coast. "We encapsulated this big feeling of traveling overseas from Australia to America, arriving in our new home, and finding our way forward."   There were still obstacles to overcome. When a business relationship went south, Dean found himself without the American support system he'd originally been promised. Meanwhile, the Australian borders remained closed, meaning he couldn't return home even if he'd wanted to. Choosing purpose over panic, he redoubled his commitment to Nashville and wrote "Gaslighter," an empowered track that's more anthemic than angry. "It was like someone was putting me through a test, just to make sure I was really serious about doing this," he says. "Out of all these negatives came some amazing blessings. Life is made up of those blessings. The beauty is, they reveal themselves in every way as we step further into the unknown."  Wesley Dean SocialsInstagramTwitterYoutube

Wes Carr sings How to Make Gravy

Wes Carr is known to most as the winner of Australian Idol back in 2008, but there is so much more to the music and mind of this wonderful man. His musical history starts with his first paid gig at the age of 8 and he’s lead a true musician's life ever since: full of ecstatic peaks and lonely troughs. His music ranges between rock, folk, roots, Americana, blues and he’s passionate about the art of song writing. He’s toured and performed with Tom across Australia and this interview was a rare moment for the two friends to learn a bit more about each other.

“You've got to trick yourself to remove yourself from what's troubling you or what's on your mind. Remove yourself, write it down on a piece of paper and get it out. Or speak of it in the third person, but don't try to own it.” - Wes Carr, The Moment HQ podcast Wes Carr is an Australian Singer-Songwriter who has won many awards. At 15, he was awarded a Scholarship at The McDonald College performing arts school in Sydney. At this time Wes started playing local gigs around the Sydney folk scene which gave him the opportunity to work with Australian music icons including Paul Mac, Missy Higgins, Don Walker and Andrew Farris from INXS. Then, in 2005 Wes collaborated with Ben Gillies from the very well-known Australian rock band ‘Silverchair.' Together they formed a band called ‘Tambalane.' They gained critical acclaim, extensive radio play across Australia and toured nationally twice. He won Australian Idol in 2008 and won the Best Male Artist Award at the International Acoustic Music Awards in 2013. Plus many more, which you can read about here. As a kid Wes tells me he was a big liar and convinced his friends he was Michael Jackson's guitarist, but today he's an honest man for “the deeper you go the more honest you are”. Wes' music will touch your soul and if you've seen him in concert you will too know that music is his thing; his way of expressing who he is into this world. Our conversation is a beautiful reminder that we each have something to give to this world, we all have ideas and there will be challenging moments as we pursue our greatest loves, but as Wes puts it, “Ideas want to be born, it's your job to birth them.” As the saying goes, nothing comes to fruition without a little blood, sweat and tears. We must remember to not take it all so personally and this quote sums it up beautifully. “That's the problem with the world I think, everybody is locked in their own bullshit and in their own prisons because somewhere along the line they didn't feel worthy.” So realize that you have the power to set yourself free and you have the power to create a life that you really do love. Wes and I have a chat about FAME, MUSIC and CREATING YOUR OWN INDUSTRY Learn about: How his music career began The illusion of fame Creativity and Ideas Intuition being “King”

This week I was interviewed on Curtin radio 1001 about the huge impact of social media on the departing One Direction band member and the self harming movement that occurred through social media....it can really show us the way social media can have negative impacts on humanity. I talk about why is this happening, what does it mean at a deeper systemic level, and the pros and cons of social media and more importantly what it means to be digitally conscious. We need to be aware of what we post and why we post it because the ripple effect is so much larger than we think. I share this in the hope of sharing that awareness and bringing some light to the topic to encourage us all to consider the impact of our words in the digital realm.Enjoy the listen and please feel free to share your thoughts on the topic - I do respectfully ask that you think before you post on such a big topic like this of self harm... as a society it's easy to try and fight back on things with hate and nasty comments - as Wes Carr so eloquently puts it "You can't fight hate with hate" having compassion doesn't mean we condone it, but it allows us the space to see beyond it and look at the deeper meaning detached from our personal emotional opinion on it XX #‎PEACE #‎LOVE
