Ashley Feraude in conversation with Tania, who started in fashion but quickly turned her passion for making things to ceramics. She grew a successful practice that included exhibitions, awards and a busy production studio. Tania is now at the start of her next exciting chapter as a painter.

We discuss the difference between craft and art, the balance between art and business, how to feed the soul and the bank balance at the same time and how to make connections in the art scene.

Ashley Feraude in conversation with Bri Williams, who is TikTok content creator and real estate professional.

Bri is a perfect example of someone that has managed to balance two somewhat opposing professions. One the one hand a TokTok star with a large and loyal following in Canberra and beyond and, on the other hand, she is a real estate agent wth LJ Hooker.

We explore how hard or easy keeping a balance between career and passion is, the world of social media, the challenges and tribulations of creating comedic content and why having an audience is a privilege.

Ashley Feraude in conversation with Jeremy Byrnes, who has multiple decades of experience in wedding and portrait photography.

One the one hand, the conversation explores Jeremy's love for connecting with people to tell their stories through photography and, on the other, connecting with oneself in order to achieve a healthy work and life balance. Jeremy is also a strong believer that people should be celebrated and not forgotten as we have so much to learn from older members of our community. To that effect, he is producing an exhibition which we discuss at the end of the conversation.
