Professor Alistair Sproul has been building solar technology since the 1980s. As head of the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW, he's watched Australia lead the world in solar adoption often without realising it. 

As the nation, and indeed the rest of the world, grapples with a mounting energy crisis and growing oil prices, I thought it would be a great time to revisit my chat with Alistair and his insights into Australia's transition towards renewable energy.

That transition isn't coming. It's already here. And it's happening faster than anyone in Canberra is telling you.

Global energy crisis: Inside Australia's renewable energy transition

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/52fdf0b5-a33c-42c5-bc77-b4200012d323/transcript

Watching the Kylie Minogue documentary on Netflix with Audrey the other night, I was so happy to see my friend (and Kylie's sister) Dannii Minogue appear.

There was a time when I thought I knew all about Dannii - that was until I worked with her for the very first time in 2009. I had been called in at the very last minute to work with Dannii to cover a prominent breakfast radio shift, and was immediately blown away at how this incredible woman handled herself just with absolute grace, absolute commitment and focus at all times.

I then had the pleasure of working with Dannii again on The Masked Singer Australia. I have learned so much from her. I continue to learn so much from her about what it is to show up, what it is to be in business, how one can stay afloat in times of uncertainty, how one can stay focused in times of pressure. 

In this episode, I'm taking a look back at two big showbiz lessons Dannii shared with me on the show a few years ago. While they're from her entertainment world, they are lessons we can all apply to our everyday lives. And if you get the chance, check out the Kylie doco on Netflix!

What Would Dannii Minogue Do?: Two Showbiz Lessons For Everyday Life from the Aussie Icon

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/fefdfc2c-b7dd-4bbf-b4c6-b45f001e71cf/transcript

What if the key to a better life isn't avoiding discomfort - but actively seeking it?

In this powerful conversation, Osher sits down with performance psychologist, leadership coach, and world-record holding freediver Ant Williams to explore why some of life's greatest breakthroughs happen when we step into fear rather than run from it.

Drawing on decades of experience helping athletes, leaders, and high performers build their resilience, Ant shares remarkable stories from the extremes of human endurance, including deep ocean freediving, swimming beneath ice, encounters with sharks, and moments where staying calm was the difference between life and death.

But this episode goes far beyond adventure - Ant also reveals practical strategies for managing anxiety, building resilience, handling difficult conversations, improving performance and developing the self-awareness needed to grow through life's challenges.

He also opens up about leaving a fundamentalist church, overcoming fear-based thinking, and how deliberately embracing discomfort transformed his life.

Whether you're navigating career pressure, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, or simply looking to become more mentally resilient, this conversation offers actionable tools to help you stay calm, focused, and confident when it matters most.

'Comfort Is Holding You Back': Secrets to Growth and Confidence with Ant Williams

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/fb39154f-1268-490c-86b5-b45c0066df10/transcript

In a world where the old 'social contract' has been tossed out the window, where AI is taking over human resources and the 'traditional' path feels more like a dead end - where do you look for the new rules of survival? 

Do you look to the old school executive leaders or do you look to the fringes, the creatives, the disruptors? Perhaps there are still ideas and business models which come from well outside the norm that can offer unconventional ways we could move ahead and possibly even achieve unreasonable results?

In this episode, we’re looking back at my chat with economic historian and author of The Misfit Economy Alexa Clay, who spent years inside informal, grey, and black markets, talking to gang leaders, hackers, and pirates, and discovered that they weren't 'just criminals' - they were the most agile entrepreneurs on the planet.

And while the story we’re often told about great business leaders is almost always 'the lone genius with a venture capital war chest', Alexa noticed that the most radical innovation happens when there is zero safety net. So could this 'grey market' be the blueprint for an increasingly uncertain economy?
