This is a podcast with storytelling at its heart. You’ll find new eps, when I feel like making them, anywhere you get your podcast fix. If you love it, GREAT! If you don’t, then it wasn’t made for you…

Episode summaries
Ep 13 – dreams
Doc Hinds
Doc is a dream therapist, a truck driver, a bodyboard surfer and an actor. There really is no one on planet earth quite like Doc. He loves tattoos, bourbon, fast motorcycles and a ciggie. But he also loves tropical aquariums, anything pineapple flavour and can play the didgeridoo.
Ep 12 – giddyup!
Mandy Retzlaff
Mandy is a farmer, author and horsewoman. She was born in Ghana, grew up in South Africa and Zimbabwe but these days lives with her husband Pat and a herd of 47 horses on the coast of Mozambique where they host horse safaris in paradise. Mandy has a huge heart and a life story you need to read to believe.
Ep 11 – avos and hand sanitiser
Bernard Avo Salt
Bernard Salt, a demographer, speaker and writer. For several decades, he has studied population and economic shifts as indicators for the future and then helped explain them to the rest of us. He has his own language and authority from Her Majesty the Queen to make up new words as required. I might have made that last bit up…
Ep 10 – Books, boys and bravery
Jane Caro
Jane is an athiest and an “equal opportunity disliker of all religions”. She’s written, edited or contributed to 11 books and a bazzillion articles on a bunch of touchy subjects – religion, feminism, sexual assault, education – and has personally had a powerful effect on my writing.

Ep 9 – Negotiation ninja
Greg Bloomfield
Greg is the man behind FairGo, influencing politicians with gobsmacking results. He’s a skilled negotiator and you’ll want him on your team if the bank is talking foreclosure but you’d rather they wipe the debt. Greg explains how dealing with banks and pollies is just like cattle farming.
Ep 8 – dudes and a dry martini
Carrina Hampton
When I was looking to sell a business in 2013, I wanted to sell the program to someone who would love it but with military precision. Carrina Hampton was the perfect person to take over the baby I had created – Beer + Bubs, childbirth education for dads at the pub – and to grow it into something bigger and better.
Ep 7 – impact and mango trees
Georgie Camp
Georgie Camp’s work has taken her to remote villages where women have taught her that worry is a peace-time luxury and that loving who you are is the most important metric. With Gina Rhinehart in her corner, Georgie has learned that impact is a long game and that dance-offs after village meetings are essential.
Ep 6 – Fear and generosity
Tim McDonald
Tim is a gatherer of skills and good people. When he started using Twitter way back 2009 to sell real estate, he would never have guessed that those skills would lead him to the role of Head of Community for the Huffington Post. Generosity runs through his veins but it is fear that interests him most.
Ep 5 – Madagascar
Peter Schaffler
Pete, his wife Kara and three young sons spent a decade as missionaries in the remote south-west of Madagascar, home to the best surfing in the world. This is the kind of place where the cops rent out their guns to bandits at night and where crayfishing involves condoms. Now Pete knows way too much about armpit bacteria…
Ep 4 – Dangerous
Katie McMurray
Katie is an ex-publicist and writing coach who helps others find their written voice. At the age of 53 she decided she’d learn to surf. She’s the kind of lady who can summons a nude swim by group text at 10pm on a hot Sunday night in summer and 12 women will appear out of nowhere in the dark…
Ep 3 – Ghosts and cannibals
Adam Courtenay
When you google Adam Courtenay it says “son of Australia’s best-loved storyteller, Bryce Courtenay.” Adam is a successful author in his own right, despite his father telling him his first book probably belonged back on the shelf. His genre is historical non-fiction – a much tougher gig than making up stories.
Ep 2 – Jaws of a lion
Richard Field
Richard is a safari guide, leading groups, and sometimes celebrities and billionaires, on adventures to places like the Okavango Delta in Botswana. In 1999, Rich was attacked by a lioness protecting her cubs. In the years after the attack, Richard realised he would only be able to heal once he started to tell his story.
Ep 1 – Optimist
Rosemary Schaffler
Rosemary Schaffler was born in South Africa in 1940. Faith, hope and love run through her veins. In this episode, she talks about growing up with hopeful, optimistic parents during World War II and beyond, how she’s not easily offended and that forgiveness is key. She also goes by the royal title of Lucy’s Mum.
