052: Best of Entrepreneurs: Fox - Dinnigan - Terzini - McKevitt - Giuffre - Lock

We’re back after an extended hiatus!
First up some highlights from some of the stellar previous guests…EP 51 - those tenacious souls who have blazed a trail in the music business.


GLENN WHEATLEY - Episode 012
The unexpected death of Glenn in Feb 2022, brought an outpouring appreciation for this true one of kind. 1970’s rock star with The Masters Apprentices, founded the first FM radio station in Australia, Glenn then moved across to artist management and worked with likes of Bowie, Little River Band and John Farnham, famously mortgaging his house to pay for Farnham’s ‘Whispering Jack’ album, to this day it’s the biggest selling Australian album in history. 


KATE CEBERANO - Episode 002
The voice of a generation in Australia. A deeply personal insight into this unique artist, recorded during a strict Melbourne lockdown, discussing in detail the aptly titled The Dangerous Age album, which came out just before Covid became a thing.


COLIN HAY - Episode 015
The legendary songwriter and front man from Grammy winning 80’s band Men At Work. This chat offers a phenomenal look into the challenges that come with great success and how Colin went back to basics and reinvented himself as a solo artist. 

JIMMY & JANE BARNES - Episode 044
Jimmy is the beating heart of Australian rock’n roll. 20 Number 1 albums and 10,000 plus blistering live performances. This chat delivers plenty laughs and insights into the yin and yang that make these two legends tick.

MARK ISHAM - Episode 036
Musician, electronic music pioneer and revered film and TV composer. Mark delivers some great insights as to how he approaches his craft, in particular his technique for addressing writers block.


SEAN SENNETT - Episode 041
Sean Sennett is a musician, singer, songwriter and one of the leading music writers in the biz.  His story about bumping into the Bruce Springsteen on the street on a rainy Brisbane afternoon is a cracker.

051: Best of Musicians: Wheatley - Ceberano - Hay - Barnes - Isham - Sennett

Episode 50 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Barton Lynch.

Barton Lynch is one right out of the box. A whole lot more than a World Champion surfer. Both a soul surfer and astute competitor. A rebel with a cause. A big mouth with the smarts to back it up. A leader. A big wave surfer and a big hearted humanitarian.

Winner of 17 major surf championships and winner of the 1988 World title in big barrels at Pipeline on the Oahu’s North Shore.

Barton helped blaze the trail of professional surfing and fought for surfers to have a rightful voice in their sport. His Accolades include, Australian Surfing Hall of Fame, Australian Sporting Hall of Fame, Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame.

He had the honour of commentating at the recent Tokyo Olympics, introducing surfing as an Olympic sport to the world.

Barton loves sharing his passion for the sport and has partnered with Go Pro in 2021 for the BL Blast Off, which goes global in a new online video format.

A leading coach of elite surfers, a champion for disabled sportspeople and his philanthropic work is legendary.

It takes plenty of guts to become a world champion and it takes guts to speak to your mind in this day and age. Oh and he’s still tackling 40 foot waves in Hawaii, just for fun.
