    In this episode, I had the pleasure of conversing with Daniel Hodges from Texas, United States. Daniel is a disability advocate and co-founder of the Peaces of Me Foundation, who take a bold and authentic approach in their mission of eliminating the stigma regarding disability. We discuss how people's perceptions of disability are socially constructed, and the nuances of what this means in terms of how we can solve problems to make society more inclusive.

    I thank Finding Solutions Counselling for their partnership. Find them here: www.findingsolutionscounselling.com.au


    In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Valerie Flynn. Valerie is an author, podcaster, and learner. She is a contributing author to the “Writers Of Meaning” book, and the host of the Nara Fellowship and Writers Of Meaning podcasts. Professionally, Valerie worked in film, video, and radio as a production manager and producer for over 30 years with her father and brother. Some of the media projects to which she contributed were with Hanna-Barbera, Putnam Berkley, and Turner Entertainment. LionHawk Entertainment is her production company, for which she records digital legacy keepsakes for her clients and their loved ones.


    In this discussion, we explore Valerie's experiences with the concept of community, including a fascinating type of community called Estuary which exists internationally and facilitates learning through the presenting of different perspectives and healthy disagreement. As is always valuable, we emphasise having the humility to understand that our beliefs are not perfect ― and that listening to others' perspectives is essential to understanding how our own beliefs operate.

    I thank Gibelli Positive Pathways for their partnership. Find them here: www.gibellipositivepathways.com.au


    In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Leah Ellis and her daughter Melody, the founders of The Society of Child Entrepreneurs (S.O.C.E.) in Kansas, United States. S.O.C.E. operates programs to teach children the value of ethical business through a highly practical and realistic approach, while helping them learn the skills that transfer to other domains of life. The assumption that children are incapable needs to be challenged, and the experiences that we discuss here speak volumes. Find them here:

    We are nowhere near as different as we think we are, and all those sophisticated theories which suppose that we may have different needs depending on where we derive or why we may date or work differently together actually may be be hiding the true essence of how we function. I explore the issue in this episode.

    Is a society which lacks authority doomed to be chaotic? Are we simply seeking attention by resisting the establishment? Does being anti-establishment make you a contrarian? And was I actually making trouble by wearing a warm hat? I explore these questions in this episode.

  • How children develop virtue with Susanne Gervay

    In this episode, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Susanne Gervay, an accomplished Australian author and speaker whose experiences have inspired her life's journey of helping young people grow and develop resilience, compassion, and determination. I reveal the significance of Susanne's work in my own youth, before discussing the importance of young people's minds in developing virtue. With the still-held assumption that children are just chaotic tyrants who inherently are in need of fierce, fighting discipline, Susanne and I explore how proper nurturance of children helps them to reveal the power of their minds often hidden.


    To learn about Susanne and find her excellent literature for young people, visit her website: www.sgervay.com
