Episode 39: Melissa Thomson ,The School That Said: “Nah… We’re Doing This Properly.”
Episode 39 – Part 2: Strength & Softness
The School That Said: “Nah… We’re Doing This Properly.”
G’day tribe — Buzz here.
This one’s a ripper… and I’m not saying that because I’m biased (I am), I’m saying it because Melissa Thomson is the real deal.
In Episode 39 (Part 2), we yarn with Melissa from Agnes Water — and we kick off with something genuinely hero-level:she helped bring a real school to life. Not a theory. Not a rant. Not a “someone should do something” post.
A proper independent Steiner school, government funded, on the beach, that started with 2 teachers and 8 kids… and has grown into 11 staff, 70 kids, and a waiting list.
And the wild part? It’s built on the radical concept that kids should be… wait for it… kids.Less screens. More handwriting. More stories. More imagination. More nature. More movement. More joy.
We also get into the deeper stuff — strength & softness, hustle culture, burnout, masculine/feminine balance, why modern life can leave people feeling disconnected, and how community (real community) changes everything.
If you’re a parent, teacher, bloke, woman, business owner, or just someone who’s felt the world go a bit sideways… this episode will hit.
And to everyone who’s been backing this show — thank you.We’ve now cracked 65,000+ downloads, which still blows my mind because I started this thing to have honest conversations… and apparently a lot of you legends are into that (good taste).
🎧 Hit play, share it with a mate, and let’s keep building a tribe that thinks, feels, and lives a bit more real.
Hero up.Buzz out.
