Mark Manson is a super-successful blogger and now best selling Author, his two books “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck” and “Everything is Fucked, A Book About Hope” have spent weeks and weeks at the top of every chart there is that concerns books. 

He’s kind of like self-help for people who don’t like self-help. 

Mark doesn’t hold back and asks his readers to take a long, hard look at themselves and make some pretty intense inquiries as to why things are the way they are. 

I feel his work has its roots in the work of the Stoics, but if Ryan Holiday is a little too heavy for you, you’ll dig what Mark has to say. 

We caught up over Skype as he wrapped up his recent Australian tour, and I sure hope you enjoy all that is packed into this very dense hour with Mark Manson.

Marieke Hardy is an actor, writer, screenwriter, presenter and currently the Artistic Director of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival. 

From her beginnings as a child actor on Australian TV, to her work as a presenter on JJJ, and as a Screenwriter for shows like Last Man Standing and Packed to The Rafters, Marieke has always had a solid through line of creativity in her life. 

In her role as Artistic Director of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival, Marieke is responsible for shaping the tone and vision of the festival which I was very fortunate to be a part of in 2018. 

The Melbourne Writer’s festival kicks off at the end of August 2019 and the theme this year is “When we talk about love” featuring extraordinary appearances from Ben Folds, Charlie Pickering, former NZ PM Helen Clark, Sloane Crosley and many, many more. mwf.com.au for more details. 

As someone who grew up in the public eye - Marieke has a lot to teach us about not only how we can deal with life on that level, but dealing with the criticism that can come from putting yourself out there - something we can all learn from even if we’re not someone who’s got a career in broadcast. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as we explore the benefits of being creative in your life - both creative in a way that leads back to you, but also in an anonymous way, which Marieke has found incredible benefit from. 

It’s a great chat, with a fascinating human being.

Michelle Nazzari is the founder and managing director of Fonzarelli Electric bikes - based in Redfern here in Sydney. 

As you no doubt know I’m a big fan of electric mobility - I test drove EV’s as far back as 2009 and have owned Electric Vehicles since 2011.

There’s no other way to say it - Electrification of transportation is the future. Thanks to decreasing costs of battery production and increasing emissions standards worldwide - soon it will be cheaper to manufacture an electric transmission vehicle than a petrol vehicle, and then that’s it. 

As is often the case, global purchasing options depend on the most economically viable production specification, and with the largest auto market in the world now being China, and China having increasingly strict laws around emissions - sooner than later we will be only be able to buy EVs because that’s the most economically viable product to produce worldwide. 

What does all this mean? 

That Electric Vehicles will not only transform our ability to get around but also power our cities when you think of the megawatts of now-available battery storage.

I tracked down Michelle and got her on the show because she’s a total game changer in the field. 

She started and runs Fonzarelli Electric Moto - a company based in Redfern Sydney that design and build electric scooters. The kind you need a motorbike license to ride. 

I must warn you - we recorded this interview a while back now, and not long after talking to Michelle I took one for a test ride - and a few months later I now own one of these machines. 

I was in the market for a scooter anyway - and once I rode it I was done.

This is a chat that’s not just about electric scooters, it’s a chat with a woman who had a vision, and every day strives to make her vision become a reality. 

Enjoy this conversation with Michelle Nazzari.

Lucy Lawless is an internationally known actress from New Zealand who shot to world wide stardom as Xena, in 1995, then Spartacus, Ash Vs Evil Dead and that one excellent episode of Flight of the Conchords. 

Lucy is currently in the new series “My Life is Murder” which is on Ten here in Australia. 

Lucy’s story is one that I found so inspiring, as she’s someone who’s unshakable drive to pursue what she essentially defines as “play” has allowed her to build an incredible life that not only is very satisfying to her - but one that is by design so authentic, she connects naturally to millions of people around the world. 

Her work ethic, her spirit of adventure, her willingness to take a chance - all these things left me just chomping at the bit to get on with things. 

I can’t wait for you to hear this. 

We caught up over Skype when she was in NYC the other week so thanks for understanding the audio ambience that is a part of this. 

Enjoy this conversation with the one and only Lucy Lawless.
