Send us a textSpecial Projects' co-founder, Adrian Westaway  talks to us about his journey from amateur magician to master designer and how the skills of illusion can be applied to drive better design outcomes. Design and magic are both human centric disciplines that leverage  psychology to influence behaviours and attitudes; and both benefit from "someone spending more time on something than anybody would reasonably expect".  We talk about: Adrian's experience at the burlesque experience, Lost Vagueness; about managing creative partnership with your life-partner and talk trough how to create awe when designing experiences.... Could it be magic?  We certainly think so. About Adrian. Adrian is an award-winning designer and inventor whose unique approach to design draws on his two biggest passions: magic and technology. Fascinated by the similarities between the two disciplines, he joins them together in products and experiences that have the ability to not only surprise and delight but prompt positive change for individuals and communities.As co-founder of Special Projects, the London-based design and innovation studio, Adrian leads a team that crafts strategic design visions and reinvents user interactions for forward-thinking global clients. Special Projects blends magic, humanity and technology to transform ordinary interactions into extraordinary experiences. The studio's work spans sectors including consumer goods, technology, AI, automotive and health and wellbeing for clients such as Google, Samsung, BBC, Lego, Sonos and P&G.A thought leader on design thinking and innovation, Adrian frequently speaks at events for organisations such as Innovate UK, Design Museum and Google Creative Lab and was on the Advisory Panel for the UK Design Innovation Network, helping deliver the UK Government's innovation strategy.In 2007 Adrian became the first ever James Dyson Fellow, and in 2012 a Fellow of the Royal Commission of 1851.

How does technology affect our daily lives and interactions, and what role does design play in making it more humane and delightful? Today, we're in conversation with Clara Gaggero Westaway, co-founder and creative director of Special Projects. Recently celebrating its tenth anniversary, the London-based design and innovation studio is known for its work in humanising technology, creating experiences that prioritise user friendliness and satisfaction. Clara's expertise has guided Special Projects in partnerships with some of the biggest names in tech and research, like Samsung, Google, and King's College London, turning complex tech challenges into accessible solutions. From digital therapy tools for individuals with psychosis and enhancing smartphone usability for older people to helping us step away from our smartphones a little, her work exemplifies the power of empathetic design. But what does it all mean? We ask Clara about the intricacies of creating technology that's helpful and not intrusive, the challenges and surprises of designing for a global audience, and the future trends she sees shaping the industry. We'll also take a closer look at her creative process, how her educational roles influence her professional practice, and how she and her team tackle the ethics of technology and design. In this episode, Clara also shares how she sees everyday frustrations as opportunities and how drawing on them can create those "warm, fuzzy feelings" she loves so much. This conversation lies at the fascinating intersection of creativity, technology, and human-centric design with one of the industry's leading voices.

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware https://amzn.to/3vSEO8h Harkening to Agatha Christie's classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension and ingenious thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post). Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she's pretty sure they won't extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren't going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla find herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize. But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death. A fast-paced, spellbinding thriller rife with intrigue and characters that feel so true to life, this novel proves yet again that Ruth Ware is the queen of psychological suspense.About the author Ruth Ware is an international number one bestseller.

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death amongst women. However, due to the male-centric research on this disease, many women are unaware they even have a condition until it's too late. Today I chat with Di Westaway about loving yourself and your body, and why leading your health can help save your life.    Di is the founder of Wild Women on Top, an enterprise that creates life-changing adventures for women to get fit by walking in nature. Coastrek is one of those adventures which, with its strong community of women, has raised over 45 million dollars for The Heart Foundation.    In today's episode, Di shares the turning point in her own life that pushed her to challenge herself and prioritise her health in a major way. She talks about how enduring loss gave her the courage to change her life and the confidence to believe she could do the impossible.    Being a woman often comes with feeling the need to put everyone else first - there's taking the kids to school, getting work done, keeping the household in order… It's hard to find any time for yourself within all the chaos. However, if you are not healthy or prioritising your own wellbeing, you cannot function at your best.    Knowing your own worth means you'll be prepared to make the investment in putting your health first.    Di shares some alarming statistics around women's risk factors for heart disease, and encourages us to take it seriously when something doesn't feel right. As women, we need to advocate for ourselves when we're told not to worry, and to never accept no for an answer.   When we're in tune with our own bodies and know how to care for them, we become better businesswomen, partners, carers and friends.   I hope today's episode empowers you to begin the journey of loving yourself and knowing that in doing so, you'll find all the energy and zest for life that's available to you.    LINKS Connect with Di: Website: https://www.wildwomenontop.com/  Instagram: @diwestaway Facebook: @wildwomenontop   Connect with Julie: Instagram: @juliehydeleads Website: https://juliehyde.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia is reconnecting with the world, but how will its phased travel revival take shape? Certainly, Australia will be a coveted destination for tourism, family visits and business trips from South East Asia, and nations across the region will look forward to welcoming back Australian visitors. So in Part 3 of our Destination 2022 series, we head Down Under. Gary discusses the outlook for all aspects of inbound, outbound and domestic travel with Melbourne-based Simon Westaway, Strategy Director at Royce Communications, who recently completed a 2-year spell as Executive Director of the Australian Tourism Industry Council. In a broad-ranging chat, Gary and Simon address the key pandemic learnings for Australian travel and tourism, ranging from domestic state border closures to the collapse of air travel and decimation of the cruise sector. Now, as Australia's new era of travel commences, which destinations will airlines prioritise for inbound and outbound travel? Where will China and India fit into the nation's near- and long-term travel landscape? And what about Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and other South East Asian markets? What's the outlook for the Australia-New Zealand Travel Bubble? And, given how deeply Australia's visitor economy has been impacted  over the past two years, what are  realistic expectations for the year ahead?

Desperate times call for desperate measures - something that has certainly been obvious during  Covid-19 lockdowns, where a range of PNG companies have been reinventing themselves quickly in order to keep operating. While it's true that some new businesses have risen like a phoenix from the ashes to capitalise on new opportunities and some existing businesses completely changed their business models, there is a lesson that all businesses can take away from this period of forced innovation. Reinventing can be used to describe a wholesale change of direction to a business but it can also be applied across a business unit, a process or other aspects of a business that makes sense right now.In Episode 7 of Series 5 of the #BLPpodcast, we talk to MiBank CEO, Tony Westaway about reinventing during a crisis and how MiBank is supporting MSMEs throughout Papua New Guinea.

This week marks the start of the two-way travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand. So there's no better time for Gary and Hannah to welcome back Simon Westaway, Executive Director of the Australian Tourism Industry Council, to the show. Back in December, Simon accurately predicted April for the two-way travel bubble getting started. In a fascinating discussion, we look at how Australia's domestic tourism sector has recovered, and trends have shifted. These include more travel within home states, and a surge in self-drive trips. Meanwhile, some regions of the country have never had it so good. Plus, the outlook for travel between Australia and New Zealand as the winter sports season beckons, and some of the new routes that airlines are introducing. Beyond the bubble, are South Pacific islands next on the itinerary, and will Australia push ahead with a much-touted travel corridor with Singapore? And how about Vietnam? Finally, what's the outlook for long-haul international travel in 2021, or more likely 2022?

The South East Asia Travel Show

It's been a torrid year for travel and tourism in Australia. This week, Gary and Hannah chat with Simon Westaway, Executive Director of the Australian Tourism Industry Council. In a candid and insightful interview, Simon discusses a broad sweep of inbound, outbound and domestic travel issues. From the 'Black Summer' bushfire season, Australia quickly encountered COVID-19 with the first infection in late January. The show addresses Australia's key 2020 developments, including the Ruby Princess, border bans, hotel quarantine outbreaks, state border politics and domestic travel in the summer season. With national borders closed until at least March 2021, we look ahead to the vaccine rollout, potential travel bubbles and selected cohorts that might feature in a phased recovery. Key markets, such as China, New Zealand and South East Asia, also merit a mention. Australians are famously adventurous travellers, and Simon also looks to some high-priority destinations once they are able to take overseas trips again.

Hello and welcome to Episode 12 of the TEBI Podcast, brought to you by The Evidence-Based Investor in conjunction with Regis Media. I'm Robin Powell, and you'll find my blog at evidenceinvestor.com. That's evidenceinvestor.com. My guest this week is, Dr Peter Westaway, Chief Economist and Head of Investment Strategy Group for Vanguard Europe. Dr. Westaway was previously chief economist, Europe, for Nomura International and a senior official at the Bank of England. He is also a visiting professor at Queen Mary University of London. As everyone knows, Vanguard is best known for providing low-cost funds and is the world's biggest provider of index funds specifically. It doesn't really do market timing or tactical asset allocation. So why, I started by asking Dr Westaway, does Vanguard really need need a Chief Economist?
