What are you leaving behind in 2024? 

It could be a trend that you're over, a bad relationship, for Brooke it's the phrases "100%" or "literally".

And for Matty 2025 is all about you CAN be what you can't see! 

Todays ep is all about the things we're excited for in the new year... Including big this for this podcast too!

We did our first LIVE podcast recording at the Apple Store in Sydney last week, and we wanted to share the episode with you. 

We talked about the power of storytelling within First Nations culture and how storytelling shaped not only our lives, but our careers.

We also shared why we now love using this podcast as a modern version of First Nations storytelling and continuing our culture. 

Thank you to everyone that came out to the LIVE event! We loved meeting you all, and hope to see you again at another live event in the future!

It's a very traditional time of year for most people, so we thought it might be a nice time to teach you some of our traditions and a little bit more about our culture. 

Brooke is a proud Noongar woman from Western Australia. 
Matty is a proud Gamilaroi man from Northern NSW. 

Today they chat about their lack of connection to their mob's language, why sorry business is so important and the differences in culture between mobs all over the country. 

Plus whether mob should be the ones acknowledging country, OR if it's a non-Indigenous persons job?
