This week on Deadly Discussions I am joined by Shantelle Thompson a 3X Jiu-Jitsu World Champion. Shantelle is a proud Barkindji/Ngiyambaa Woman from NW New South Wales, a business owner who juggles being mum, a motivational speaker and self-funded professional fighter.

Some of the topics we cover, power of thoughts, - Increasing self-awareness - Creating your own opportunities - Balancing Work/Life - Legacy

This one is for all those strong ladies out there paving a future of your own.

This week on Deadly Discussions we are interviewing the creative lighting man himself Matthew Fellingham.

Topics range from growing up in Bundeena as an Awabakal man, learnings from his fathers time in Redfern, his recent trip to the Isaloni festival, and the balance of being a creative and a businessman.

I've learnt a lot from Matty over the years I've known him. He is one of those consistent hardworking black leaders that will path the way for future generations.

I am joined by the lovely Florence Drummond on this week's Deadly Discussions,
