Tom Reynolds, the guy who was a Telstra blogger until his contract was unceremoniously terminated last week, oh-so-coincidentally 24 hours after he wrote a post slightly critical of Telstra, joins Rich and I on the show today.

Today I’m kicking off a new series of shows that I’m calling ‘Melbourne’s Top Dogs’. I’m going to approach Melbourne’s leading business people and government leaders and try to discover a little bit about what makes them tick.

This first interview is with Mr Geoff Lord.

A quick bio:

After a business education at Melbourne universities, Geoff Lord joined Ford in the 1960s and moved to Elders in the 1970s, where he became a key lieutenant to John Elliott. In 1985, he formed Elders Resources and built it to a market capitalisation of $1.5 billion by acquiring assets such as forestry businesses in New Zealand. He is currently chairman of the Australian soccer club Melbourne Victory, Chairman of UXC Limited, Australia’s largest technology solutions company, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of his private investment vehicle Belgravia Group, and also sits on the board of many other companies.

Last week Dave “The Lifekludger” Wallace and Mike “The Fang” Seyfang, the hosts of TPN’s Extraordinary Everyday Lives podcast, had me on as a guest to discuss how I deal with stress and cope with upheaval. All three of us have had an interesting year with a variety of personal and professional challenges and we talk about how we coped. Then one of my kids hurt himself and I had to dash, but I think we covered some interesting stuff. As it’s in line with some previous shows I’ve done over the last couple of months, I thought it might be worth throwing into the G’Day World feed (apologies to anyone already subscribed to the EEL show who will get it twice). If you like the focus of the show, subscribe to the regular EEL feed for future Dave & Mike shows.

Yesterday my mate Shane Williamson in Sydney skyped me (long time listeners might remember him from G’Day World #3) and then he conferenced in our mate Brenton Perry (who was on G’Day World #132) at home in Texas. Shane, Brenton and I all used to work in the same team at Microsoft back in ’98. The conversation quickly centered around the definition of “energy” and string theory and then morphed into a debate about free will. As I had Skylook running it automatically got recorded and I thought the conversation was interesting and you might all enjoy it. The sound quality isn’t the best (due to the fact that I was sitting on my $25 USB headset on the desktop (which has a fan which sounds like a Boeing engine) but it’s okay if you can ignore the background buzz and occasional echo. I bring you into the conversation about 20 minutes in.

Yeah it’s been a while folks! How y’all doing out there?? Did ya miss me?

Today my guest is Robert Cauthorn, CEO of Citytools and longtime digital media practitioner. Robert headed and launched StarNet, the first profitable online daily newspaper, which became the Arizona Daily Star. He was also the third recipient of the Newspaper Association of America’s Digital Pioneer Award. I caught a presentation Bob did at PANPA a few weeks ago and had to get him on the show. We talk about what’s wrong with the newspaper business, what they need to do to survive, and the fallacy of “trusted brands”.
