TUNE IN NEXT WEEK, WHERE I CHAT TO PREQUEL ALL ABOUT HIS NEW ALBUM...

But in the meantime, this is episode is part of a mini-series within The Passion PT Show, called ‘These Could Be Heroes’.

I chat to legend of the Melbourne DJ scene, DJ Prequel. 

Prequel and I chat about a hero that we both share… and it’s not what you’d expect of two guys in their 30s …

It’s Fran Leibowitz, a New York intellectual, social commentator, sixty-something, Jewish lesbian author and speaker who has recently released a series on Netflix directed by none other than Martin Scorsese called ‘Pretend Its a City’, In which she pretty much complains about the state of the world from the city she only occasionally and begrudgingly leaves, Manhattan.

Along with the fact that she is a poster girl for working with your creative blocks – or as she calls it a creative blockade – I wanted to discuss what it is about this day and age that makes her particular brand of Curmudgeonly nihilism so welcome. 

Tune in next week for a more music-centric chat with prequel but in the meantime please enjoy the very first episode of These could be heroes where we discuss Fran Leibowitz.

In this episode, Tim Duggan discusses his latest book, 'Work Backwards,' and the creative process behind writing. He shares his experience of separating his identity from the company he co-founded, Junkie Media, and the personal challenges he faced during that time. Tim also talks about his research process, including conducting interviews with experts and using music as a creative ritual. He acknowledges the presence of self-doubt throughout his writing journey and emphasizes the importance of constantly improving and pushing oneself. The conversation explores the themes of luck and timing, being in tune with trends, and the importance of starting with oneself. It delves into the problems with the current approach to work, such as overwork, disengagement, and apprehensiveness, and the need to fix the broken system. The conversation also discusses the healthier approach to work-life balance among Gen Z and the need for employers to create systems that support work-life balance. It concludes with practical advice for individuals who are dissatisfied with their current work situation and the importance of rebalancing life and work.

Creative Focus through Music & How to 'Work Backwards' with Tim Duggan, Author

*TAKE A MOMENT TO RATE THIS SHOW IN SPOTIFY OR ON APPLE PODCASTS*

In this episode, I'm talking to Brooke Brash - co-founder of 'Imaginal' (previously 'Ritual Community').

I met Brooke a few weeks ago and got talking about her journey from working in finance - to starting her own purpose led business... I had to halt our real-life conversation until we could make it 'Podcast Official'.

We dive into Brooke's background in business - and her journey to co-founding the holistic and integrative ritual community platform.

We cover topics such as: 
How a corporate job can prepare you for your purpose work.
The signs of burnout and the cost of not listening to your inner voice. 
The power of attuning ourselves to be guided by our own innate wisdom.
Turning the every-day into an act of self-care through the power of intention.

'Corporate Breakdown to Purpose-led Breakthrough', Brooke Brash (Co-founder, 'Imaginal')

In this episode I’m talking to Callum Mitchell - founder of Perdrisat Perfume. A few years ago Callum ventured into the world of fragrance - interested in creating his own signature scent...not knowing he would end up launching his own fragrance business - and all that might come with that

His most recent launch of his summer collection has caused him to receive quite a bit of backlash from the online perfume community. In this episode we dive into the good and the bad of taking risks and launching your own business, and cover topics such as:
What makes a perfume good?
How do you even make perfume?
The importance of having a good support system.
How necessary it is to take risks in business.
The steps and processes behind what inspires Callum to make each perfume, rather, 'characters' as he calls them. 
The endlessness of creativity and what to do with it. 
And we go over some of the comments he received during the backlash. 

If you're as keen as I am to try out his range, you can find out more:
