Finding The Frothers

Once upon a time, two ex-ad humans sat down to yarn about how creativity is an integral part of frothing and doing good stuff in the world.  Eran Thomson is a speaker, director, creative, social entrepreneur, not to mention improv aficionado, and the word prolific comes to mind, as he seems to take all of this in his stride.  This jam ranges around the place from heart-centred memories existing in tokens left behind, to laughter being not only the best medicine, but also the best strategy for thriving humans in business.  Eran is a max chiller among the many professions and we chat about the inspiration that comes from our own sporting adventures with good humans, to drawing inspo from extreme sports athletes and business focused mentors alike.  If you're interested in improv, or how to engage in dare I say it, serial entrepreneurship, then guess what - they go hand in hand.   Eran is a genuinely wholesome human, so regardless of your frothy intention for listening to this episode, i'

One upon a time in Lockdown, two buddies decided to get together for a yarn about WTF was going on in the world and how we could come together to thrive in uncertain times... Darren Bruce is a mindset aficionado, elite performance coach, emotion specialist and most certainly a frother. He guides everyone from SAS troops to business power-couples and entrepreneurs looking to tap into the root causes of why and how they show up in the world. Uncovering their true purpose and magic in the process. In this frothy ep, we discuss: • The importance of finding your SAS troupe for group flow • Positivity/ froth for getting unstuck in times of isolation • How magic can drop in for all of us - if we believe it can. Personally I've gained so much from having Darren in my frothosphere and he's helped me through some tough times as well as explore maximising the positives in the good ones. I'm sure you'll get as much of a buzz out of this episode as I did. Yew If you want to connect with him seek him out on FB

Once upon a time... There was an interview that featured a worldly frother of the highest order. Fuckgiver by name, Fuckgiver by nature. Sara Rickards is at the forefront of rogue radness and neo-activism. Her previous life as a scientist and subsequent affinity with data has lead her through the nerd forest and into the hearts of all who get the privilege to hang with her. Some would say it's no longer the data that she seeks, but the hearta. Within this tale there is exploration of a call to arms (meaning more hugs) for how we can connect on a deeper level as humans, What sacred currencies could emerge out of this current pickle, How to sit in nature and ask big questions - like how to compost your life. With something for all, You'll find poetry with a double-ended dildo and a deep-dive into poo as a vital sauce of life. If unicorn cake is your jam or you've have been curious about how you can give more fucks, then this theatrical conversation is for you. If you're easily offended or

Once upon a time there was a podcast Recorded well over a year ago... Long before the times of Covid, A podcast like no other. It brought forth a wise discussion between two longtime comrades who understood that Coke (both kinds) didn't buy happiness. With the epiphany under the utility belt of life they vowed not to put more shit out into the world. And... Their trade included such chapters as spray painting out the front of the actual Queen's house for disabled rights, saving endangered bird species' by hiding them in the worlds most popular game and teaching children to avoid the Brazilian drug war, the two amicably split way. Dom would go on to found a business destined to buy back rainforests and keep the world's feet warm and frothy at the same time. Listen on as they chuckle about their lives and mournfully mourn the death of one our planet's most famous activists. The 'said' mournfulness is actually chuckle-worthy too as that very activist is yet to die. Well played Dom and Benny. Well playe

Billy Otto is a musician, activist, waterman, poet and all-round great human. Most recently he cowrote and performed the banger 'Can't take the Ocean out of me' in collaboration with Patagonia - proving to be a catalyst in the Fight for the Bite campaign. Which we won! Billy says he is an eternal learner and we discuss what it's like to be always hungry to sharpen the sword inside and outside the studio. Some additional frothy topics we jam on: • How to support independent artists through this tough period • Why loving your craft wins above all else • How to discover your frothy places in nature to super-charge your day. I mention in the episode that I have Billy's songs in my head a lot. It's one thing for music to make you smile, but to have your buddy in your head who brings such light and legendariness to our existence on the planet. Peaking with a grin from ear to ear. how's that for a not so hidden pun. Through Billy, I discovered that a conversation can be a superpower if you set your day up

Matty Kendall is one of Australia's leading strategists and thinkers and I'm stoked to share the wisdom that I get access to most days of the week with you fine listeners. He built his company Fromm after breaking away from the archaic advertising model with validation coming in the from of a viral blog post. We centre this discussion on the topic of sense making and cultivating a healthy, thriving information ecology. And if that sounds like jibberish, Matty will walk you through it/ more like tap dance your way through the garden. When we jam together we tend to build on each others insights and this chat is no different. In this dive down the Information rabbit hole and discuss: • The go-to sources for balanced info in unbalanced times • Why the time is now to prototype that idea - and how • Thy a Kindred community is what your world needs One of Matt's core abilities is to turn the English language into poetry and I hope you find many golden nuggets in among the conversation. We could speak f

Rob Campbell is a maddog and as an ode to his legendary music skills I've dropped a few tracks into this episode. One was a feature of Rob's ripping New Years adventure and the other is from his band The Nights, who tick so many boxes for my ear holes: nostalgia, drive and froth to name a few. He's also a teacher, an entrepreneur and one of those guys you hang out with and instantly feel inspired and calm at the same time. Resonance and a radical ability to invite you into his mind, his cadence, one might say quantisation (Learnt that word from Rob). This ep may tickle ya C chord as we discuss: • Why you should boogie in the morning • Art as a common language for us all • How Rob plans to ignore the Dalai Lama Peddle to the metal band.

This is an extra-special episode and actually a chance for you - my frothy listener - to have a crack at my Finding the Frothers Workshop. The Workshop is also known as 'How to have a beer with your heroes' and it will help you do just that! If you'd like to complete the workshop itself, you'll need a pen and a paper (or whatever you use as a pen and paper) and that's pretty much it. You will come away with the Frothers which will turbo-charge your purpose / mission and contact the people to get you there. And the legendary dude in the workshop - Chandler Stevens. A new buddy of mine who I met through the Baby Bathwater group. A bit about Chandler and what we discuss. • His work driving the connection between body and mind practice • How his movement as metaphor is getting "eery results", I'd say lairy ;) • Why Hate mail is f*cken awesome • One of the most powerful moustaches on the planet. Chandler knows which direction he's heading and now he knows who the Frothers are to take him there.

Strap yourself in Legends for Socceroo and my favourite mullet-wielding Frother Rhyan Grant. Rhyno, as he is affectionately known, is a humble larrikin and chiller from way back.

But, that's the whole point of podcasting in the first place ;) In this episode we jam on: • Getting a little lairy on the Gram - • How sport is an easy second to frothing (living it up) • Family as a source of fuel for success • Cross-code fanboying Rhyan likes to get amongst it and you could say it's football in the front, party in the back.

We explore music, art, life, routine, magic and beautiful moments which can occur all the time if we allow them to.

String is a multi-talented social media trailblazer. She's notably one of the first people to make Linkedin a channel where people could go beyond the suits and resumes and into a space of authenticity and frothiness. There's a lot of BS online and String's mentality of 'show don't tell; is a shining light on how we should show up on and off camera. In this episode we froth out on: • Why Chicken is a great hook even for vegans • What she's learnt after interviewing global top voices on how to lead • How her anchor froth is firmly rooted in Vietnamese influence • How impact and authenticity are cornerstones of good business and humans. I had a lot of fun with this conversation as String flips the microphone around and asks me some incisive questions on where the Australia and the world is heading. Round two is surely not too far away. To connect with String you can find her at: https://www.instagram.com/stringstory/?hl=en @stringstory www.linkedin.com/in/stringstory
