What happens when life experience becomes fuel for fiction?

In this episode of Peek Inside Podcast, Lyanne Richardson speaks with author Richard Spegal about his transition from military service to full-time writing, the creative process behind his books, and the lessons he learned through failure, persistence, and experience. Richard opens up about writing across multiple genres, using real-world knowledge to make stories more believable, and why some of his darkest material can be the hardest—and most meaningful—to write.

He also shares practical advice for aspiring writers, including why research matters when choosing who to work with and why even a rough page is better than an empty one.

Rebuilding your life does not always mean going back to who you were before.

In this episode of Peek Inside, Lyanne Richardson speaks with author Angel Willard about what it means to move forward after trauma, difficult choices, chronic pain, grief, and major life disruption.

What if the biggest problem in a team is not lack of talent, but the way people communicate?

The future of work is changing fast, but what does that mean for ordinary people trying to build a better life?

In this episode of Peek Inside, Arky Jones sits down with entrepreneur and author Brad Aman for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, opportunity, business, and the changing meaning of the American Dream. Brad reflects on building his own companies from modest beginnings and explains why he believes initiative, adaptability, and learning new tools will matter more as artificial intelligence reshapes the workplace.

The discussion also explores a harder question: as AI becomes more useful, how do people keep their own judgement, creativity, and sense of direction? Arky raises that concern directly, challenging the idea that smarter tools should ever replace independent thought.

If you grew up feeling like you always had to read the room, keep people happy or stay one step ahead of trouble, those habits may have started long before you realised it.

On this episode of Peek Inside, Arky Jones talks with Siamon Emery about growing up in chaos and learning to survive through control, people-pleasing and hypervigilance. Over time, those same strategies followed him into adult relationships and made it difficult to feel secure, even when nothing was actually wrong.

Siamon shares how things began to change when he stopped searching outside himself for stability and started building it internally through self-awareness, boundaries, body-based practices and a different relationship with fear.
