    Josh read:
    “The Orange”
    by Wendy Cope.
    At lunchtime I bought a huge orange—
    The size of it made us all laugh.
    I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
    They got quarters and I had a half.

    And that orange, it made me so happy,
    As ordinary things often do
    Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
    This is peace and contentment. It’s new.

    The rest of the day was quite easy.
    I did all the jobs on my list
    And enjoyed them and had some time over.
    I love you. I’m glad I exist.


    Marty read:
    The Tyger by William Blake


    Tyger Tyger, burning bright, 

    In the forests of the night; 

    What immortal hand or eye, 

    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

    "Don't Wish It To Be Over" - A Note To The Runners


    Rosie Popa's Poem Choice:

    “Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
    ― L.R. Knost

    Poem:

    We think that once our day begins,

    we must race to the end,

    beating the sun to the floorboards,

    finishing our coffee

    before it's cold, and lifeless

    catching the leaves before they hit the ground,

    These are the races of life not to be won.

    To finish, 4th, 3rd, first, for what?

    To get the end before someone else?

    Poem:

    I feel life painting my battered knee-caps,

    Colouring the scars with sand and oceans
    I feel life painting my ever-changing torso,
    filling the creases and holes with speckled sunlight.
    I feel life move over my tired eyelids
    red blotches dancing like a Spanish bullfight
    I feel life talk to the chambers of my heart
    and it knocks, ever-so-quietly,

    asking to come in.

  • 0152: How do we remove Tall Poppy Syndrome?

    Recorded: Tuesday, 14th of April, 2026

    Location: Melbourne, Australia

    ⁠⁠Support with a coffee:⁠


    I could be anything in this world,
    but I chose to be someone that
    likes to drink tea on rainy saturday afternoons,
    I chose to be someone that stares at the sky when it turns into honey
    I could be anything in this world,
    so I chose to be someone that asks questions with crooked marks
    I chose to be someone that reminds you that some Mondays don’t need to be names.
    I could be anything in this world
    but I chose to be someone that likes words instead of spaceships
    I chose to be someone that loved the breeze like an old friend.
    I could be anything in this world

    But I chose to love the things I couldn’t name
    I chose to make my life a scrapbook glueing pieces together from this game.

  • 0151: Founder notes - 4 months into starting a brand.

    Recorded: Thursday, 2nd of April, 2026

    Location: Melbourne, Australia / Hoi An, Vietnam

    ⁠Support with a coffee:




    I want to go running
    so the world feels lighter by midday
    and my mind dances samba
    so birds chase me down long streets
    and flowers stand taller in their pots

    Petunias, gardenias, and frangipanis.

    I want to go running

    Not for the sake of it

    Or to collect medallions, and timestamps

    Not for the conversation it allows me

    Or to compare myself to peers

    Not for the sick joys of judgement
    how fast, how far, where’d you finish.
    I want to go running

    So the sunrise talks to me in pinks and oranges

    And the buildings hold up mirrors

    So the light feels soft at every angle

    And the streets hum quiet melodies
    so my steps feel the rhythm of impact
    and I remember that all
    I ever wanted

    Was just to go running.
