Alan Lewis Raw Conversation episode 10 has dropped.

For this episode, we’re going international again, heading to Minnesota in the United States for a compelling conversation with Sheriff Mark Empting of Clay County, Minnesota.

In this episode, we speak with Sheriff Empting about law enforcement, leadership, and public service. He reflects on his journey from the fire service into policing, including how he rose to become a fire chief and what inspired him to continue serving his community in different roles. We discuss how those early experiences shaped his values, decision-making, and approach to leadership.

The conversation also explores his views on the future of law enforcement, the challenges facing policing today, and the goals he holds for the years ahead. Sheriff Empting shares insights into life in Clay County, the importance of community connection, and how family life and personal experiences influence his perspective.

As always, we put forward our structured questions — question one, question two, and question three — before finishing with a listener-submitted question and hearing his thoughtful response.

This is an intelligent, honest, and engaging discussion that goes beyond headlines, offering real insight into public service, responsibility, and the human side of leadership.

Have a listen, share your thoughts, and join the conversation.

🎙️ Episode Nine Now Live!

I’m proud to share that Episode Nine of The Alan Lewis Raw Conversation is now available, featuring an inspiring and deeply engaging discussion with Liam Sauney.

Speaking with Liam was truly exciting. We explored his history, his cultural identity as an Aboriginal and Indigenous man, and the values that shape who he is today. Liam opened up about his family, his early life, and the powerful influences that led him into Muay Thai. His honesty about what drives him, what keeps him grounded, and how his culture informs his journey brought incredible depth to our conversation.

We also spoke about his future — his goals, his dreams, and the path he’s carving ahead in the world of combat sports.

As always, Liam was invited to choose from the trusted Normal Questions One, Two or Three — and it’s well worth hearing which one he picked.

This episode was a privilege to record, and I’m certain listeners will connect with Liam’s story, his passion, and his determination.

🎙️ Alan Lewis  Raw Conversation #8 has just dropped – and it’s an absolute cracker! 🔥

Come join us for an unfiltered, heart-on-sleeve chat with legendary Australian landscape artist Max Butler – the self-taught master whose evocative oil paintings capture the soul of our wide brown land.

Once a devoted teacher and headmaster, Max swapped the classroom for the open road, spending seven unforgettable years travelling Australia in his beloved van Morrison, photographing the everyday beauty most of us drive past. Those journeys now fuel his stunning “My Country” series – works that have earned him a swag of prestigious awards, including:

• First Prize, Royal Queensland Art Society Annual Exhibition
• Multiple First Prizes at the Ascot and Miles Art Shows
• Highly Commended in the RQAS Artstate Awards
• Third Prize at the Royal Toowoomba Show
• We ask Max to pick from question 1 2 or 3 and Max   answers  with raw honesty: and we talk to Max about joys and challenges of fatherhood and marriage, the profound emotions of a life in education, and the sheer magic of turning dust and distance into timeless art.

This is the kind of deep, authentic yarn that reminds you why we love being Australian.
