Uncommon

Nic Hodges is the Founder of Blonde3, Board Member of Startup Victoria, and former Head of Innovation for media brands such as Foxtel, NewsCorp and MediaCom.

Nic’s become an Uncommon regular, and a welcome one at that. Having been called a polymath by previous guests, we found that during these strange and uncertain times, speaking with Nic would be extremely insightful.

Suzi Jamil is the Owner and Director of Think Inc, the Producer of Islam & The Future of Tolerance, and a self-confessed sneakerhead.

When we last talked to Suzi on Uncommon, we discussed how her event business facilitates conversation around modern society. But, with an income stream derived mainly from ticket sales, we were curious to find out how she’s pivoted to survive and weather the COVID-19 storm.

7th Era, Limon Fan, Northborders and Hayden Pedersen are our favourite photographers, filmmakers and local YouTube sensations.

Separately, we’ve previously had these guys on the show (minus Limon). They’re easily some of the most talented creators in the digital space, so we had to bring them together and check in with them to see how they’re adapting to the current situation.

Shura Taft is a Host and MC of pretty much any decent event in Australia, Director of Your Brand Live and more importantly, our upcoming Marriage Celebrant.

We had Shura recently on the show, and being a masthead for the events industry, we found it imperative to catch up with him and hear his thoughts on COVID-19, from a career, family and leisure perspective.

Neel Kolhatkar, Luke Kidgell and Lewis Spears are some of Australia’s most popular comedians and entertainers, renowned for their onstage performances and viral comedy bits.

We’ve had these guys on the show before at different times. Upon noticing how much of an impact COVID-19 has had on the entertainment industry, we caught up with them remotely to find out how they’ve been affected and what they’re doing to keep both themselves and their audiences entertained.

Genevieve Day is the Founder of talent management agency Day Management, representing some of the top talent in the influencer & podcasting space.

We’ve had Gen on the show before in regular times, but we thought we’d touch base remotely to get her perspective on the recent events around Coronavirus and how it’s impacted her personally and professionally.

Dan Monheit is the Co-Founder and Director of Strategy at creative agency Hardhat, Host of the Bad Decisions Podcast, and recent Scholar inductee to the Marketing Academy.

Dan’s a regular guest, with this being his fourth time on the show. We thought we’d get him on this time to get his thoughts and reflections on the recent COVID-19 situation and how it’s affecting Hardhat and ad-land as a whole.

Georgie Saggers and Josh Miller are the Co-Founders of Australian eyewear label Soda Shades.

Along with their co-founders and partners – Stephanie Miller and Luke Young – the Soda team have put a dent in the eyewear industry building not only an iconic eyewear label but an entire brand focused on the ‘taste of summer’, holding regular events held via the tag #seethroughsoda.

Aidan Hathaway is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of WHITEFOX marketing.

Aidan has a talent for creating a tone of voice for brands. His ability has led to client work with the likes of Jamie Oliver, Tennis Australia, WHITEFOX Real Estate and Eat Up, to name a few.

Wil Anderson is a Comedian, Producer, Podcaster, and Television Host.

Wil is currently juggling multiple projects which include his comedy tour Wilegal, as well as his handful of podcasts; TOFOP, FOFOP, 2 Guys 1 Cup, Wilosophy, in addition to hosting and producing Gruen on The ABC.
