We tap into the wisdom from some of the most successful creative people in history and discover the simple formula for how to become a creative genius.

Choosing a topic is a pretty broad theme, so we tap into the wisdom of the Greeks and the Romans to guide us towards our podcast topic.

One of the most important aspects of podcasting is recognising who is in your target audience.

In this episode, we discuss why it is important to identify your target audience, how to identify who is in your target audience, some ways of making sure that you deliver quality content that resonates with your audience, and also how you can expand your target audience to ensure that your podcast is accessible to a wider range of people.

Edith Cowan is on the $50 note in Australia. I'm ashamed to say that before this week, I did not know much at all about her story. In researching a bit about Edith Cowan, as it is the 100th anniversary of her election the day after the release of this podcast, I came to realise how much her story has to offer us.

In this episode, we discuss Edith Cowan's achievements as well as what we can learn from her life and story.

With today's social media algorithms encouraging us to be more and more insular, we're becoming less likely to understand those we disagree with vehemently. It doesn't take long to scroll through Twitter or a Facebook comments section to recognise that a lot of people seem to be projecting negativity onto others.

In this episode, I discuss why this should never affect our motivation to put ourselves out there. We look at some stark examples that show that it is virtually impossible to do anything without receiving some negative reaction, so we may as well give it a go.

It's hard to sum up Brandon T Adams in just a few words. He's a podcaster, speaker, inventor, business owner and advisor. He's raised nearly $50 million Australian as a Crowdfunding expert and was featured as the youngest cast member of Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy. Oh, and he just happens to also be an Emmy award-winning producer and host on his TV show Success in Your City.

As we'll find out, podcasting has had a huge part to play in his success.

Clinical psychologist and my father, Chris Mackey joins the podcast to discuss some of the ideas behind Individuate. We also explore the theme of a hero's journey and how it relates to podcasting.

What's the recipe for getting the most out of ourselves? Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed the answer was individuation, or finding our true identity.

In this podcast, host Rowan Mackey explores what this idea means and whether starting a podcast can speed up the process of finding our place in the world.

We speak with successful people who have embraced this process and have found their calling, who have clues as to how they've gotten the best out of themselves in the service of others.
