Conversations on Our Way

This week's guest is Matt who Flo met at work and coincidently realized that they were neighbors. We talk about board games and how the industry has recently been booming. We're in the golden age of board games so why not dive in since Flo herself is part of a team that's developing their own board game as well. 

We explore the topic of circular economy. Although in itself, the concept is meant for the wide scale economy, we talk about how we can use it as a mindset and framework so we can contribute to the solution.

We're starting to do a bit more marketing for the podcast and realized (and appreciate) that we have a number of avid listeners, who want to make their contribution to the podcast as well. This week, we bring on Sam's close friend, Wen Jun, and he wanted to challenge Sam's previous perspective of happiness shouldn't be a life goal. Tune in to listen how we approach being challenged by a listener for the first time. 

This episode we invited our ex-colleague Michael who now is the CEO of Hero Education, a tutoring company based in Sydney. He holds a unique perspective on education as he started as a tutor and then is currently trying to step back to a more strategic role. We all agree education is important but the current method might be flawed. Tune in to listen to our attempt of finding a solution. 

If you're listening to the second half of the podcast and find blank parts, that's because we faced a lot of technical issues recording this episode. We did our best to patch everything together but we know that there are parts that are missing. But we felt that the existing content is still really good and to be honest in my (Sam) opinion, this was one of our best episodes yet. We apologize for the blank bits, but hopefully you can still take something away from this great conversation. 

Nearing the end of the year, we're slowly going into the reflective mood, wondering what the year meant to us. Although this year was not the best for a lot of us, it definitely did put us face to face with some of our worst habits and biggest fears. What will 2021 entail? 

This episode, we invited another guest, Lily Wu, who founded the bootcamp that we met on. We thought that we would play the popular card game, We're Not Really Strangers together. May not be as interesting to listen to, but we talked about great personal stories with each other, staying true to our 'time capsule' theme, another conversation on our way that we really want to remember. 

This episode, we discuss gaming from the perspective of a 20+ y.o. We've all grew up with games and it's increasingly becoming rare to find someone who haven't played games growing up. But, has growing up with games made us escape reality? 

In this episode, we invite our very first guest, our close friend, Michelle. She wanted to  discuss the growing pains that we have as growing people, and what it really means to be an adult.

This week, we discuss the framework coined by Kim Scott, Radical Candor. The framework was invented to help solve interpersonal relationships in the workplace, but is this applicable to other relationship outside of the office? 

This week, we reviewed Netflix's documentary: The Social Dilemma. Did it really give us answers or just more questions? We question if we would we really be happier without social media?
