Shared Minds Podcast

We are back on the Deep Question Cards pulling powerful prompts that spark honest conversation and big ideas. We explore the one thing we believe holds most people back from their dreams, the obstacles we’d remove if we could redesign the world, and where people really get stuck.

Along the way, we unpack the cost of unnecessary wars, the rising petrol prices in Australia, and how bigger systems impact everyday life.

In a world that feels like it’s getting stranger by the day, we decided to sit down and talk about it.

In this episode, we step away from the usual format and dive into some of the wild conversations happening around the world right now. From the recent release of “those files” everyone seems to be talking about, to discussions around faith, belief in God, and the idea that there may be something bigger guiding everything and then we explore the strange theory of the giant serpent said to be frozen beneath Antarctica the so-called “world serpent”

This episode is very different from what we normally do, but it’s an honest conversation between two mates trying to make sense of a chaotic world.

We had a lot of fun recording it and we hope you enjoy listening.

In this episode, we continue our chat with the founder of Saint Juniper Gin Distillery, who stepped into an industry he had zero experience in and built an award-winning gin brand in under 12 months, taking home Spirit of the Year along the way.

We dive into what it actually looks like to start from scratch — learning on the fly, making high-pressure decisions, backing your taste, and pushing forward without a safety net. No prior distilling background. No guarantees. Just conviction, long hours, and a willingness to figure it out as he went.

This conversation goes beyond business. It’s about self-belief before results, handling doubt when you’re the least experienced person in the room, and committing fully to a vision even when you can’t see the whole path yet.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re ready, qualified, or capable of taking a big leap, this episode will challenge the way you think about starting.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re qualified enough to start something new, this episode will challenge that belief.
