For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Rohan Connolly ( @rohan_connolly ), is an award-winning sports journalist with a career spanning multiple media organisations and formats including The Herald Sun, The Age, 1116 SEN, Sporting News, the Marngrook Footy Show and now his own brand - Footyology. RoCo - as you may affectionately know him - is what makes sports journalism great; the type of journalist that you idolise because they’re such brilliant storytellers. Working alongside legends like Lou Richards no doubt inspired this “young kid”, but I think it’s truly his obsessive nature and love for the history of the game, that allows RoCo to focus on what matters. You may be like me, where you’re sick of journalists that over-dramatise what happens in the football world, the one that focuses on politics, and acts as if sport is the difference between life and death. RoCo is the antithesis to that - he has no underhanded motives, and knows hows to make the seemingly simple, brilliant to read. I believe it’s the reason why he is valued by legends of the game like Leigh Matthews and Mick Malthouse. The key topics covered in this episode include: Why he chose sports journalism What he would say to a fresh grad in journalism Shadowing Lou Richards and meeting legends His writing style and the way he researches Favourite format of reporting Where he thinks media is heading Something an outsider would find ridiculous about AFL What makes a club great Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Neel Kolhatkar ( @Neel.Kolhatkar94 ) is a comedian, content creator, presenter and actor with a powerful audience built from his humble beginnings on his YouTube channel, that now has over 46M views. Well-known for satirical clips such as “Australia in 2 Minutes”, and “Modern Educayshun”, Neel is an incredibly intelligent comedy creator with an innate ability to pare back culture and society across a whole slew of different mediums. Neel is the first to admit that virality was what catapulted him into the ether of Australia’s young comedy class, along with the likes of Josh Wade, Elliot Loney Troy Kinne. But I believe his incredible knowledge of science, society, new media, and politics is what sets him apart. He is a free speech absolutist, who gives significant nods to Louis C.K., and George Carlin, the type of comedian that pushes the boundaries of acceptability. Neel, in my mind is Australia’s millennial messenger of social truth, and I think society is a whole lot better for people like him, because it allows us to not take life so seriously. Key topics we covered: The first time he noticed his knack for comedy Being an internet-based creator ‘Modern Educayshun’, reactions and politics His creative process and sources of inspiration Rick Morty and astrophysics Great comedians, Louis C.K. and the ‘child molestation joke’ Human biology, The Selfish Gene and today’s society Media, and where it's heading Stand-up and bombing on stage Working and learning alongside Josh Wade Elliot Loney Common mistakes made by comedy novices Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Titus O’Reily ( @TitusOReily ) is a writer, comedian, podcaster and commentator who specialises in satire, with a focus on sport. Titus is your perfect marriage of the larrikin aussie with Douglas Adams; a self-deprecating sense of humour, peppered with undeniably dry wit. Late comedian George Carlin is known for ‘sitting at the front row to the freakshow’ of life which is a great representation of Titus’ musings. I feel that you will see that Titus’ particular focus on the AFL, opens up a unique insight to the fabric of Australian society, and our collective obsession which could be described as a religion. Titus’ persona is so adequately stated in the best piece of merchandise mug I’ve ever seen: ‘Don’t have faith in yourself, have faith in how bad other people are’. Here are the discussion points I think you’ll enjoy the most: Who is Titus O’Reily? Content distribution Being a ‘content creator’ How he writes The AFL and the media circus On the current state of the Saints Dees Footy, indoctrination belief

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Chris Cincotta ( @melbourneiloveyou ) is a photographer, and the face behind @melbourneiloveyou on Instagram, and Humans In Melbourne on Facebook. Chris is what Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert) would dub as a triple threat. He understands people deeply, loves photography and knows how to communicate to people  This was a really heartwarming episode for me, and I think it will make you realise that at the end of the day, humans just want to be made to feel special. With an emphasis on gratitude, Chris grew his social influence with something that you or I are probably too scared to do - reply to each and every one of his followers’ comments. This innate sense to make everyone feel special is what boosted his engagement dramatically, growing his accounts exponentially. It’s funny, because this is such a simple and useful mindset that you can use in your own business or social media project. In the age of ‘like farms’, and an explosion of content - where anyone can pretend to be anything behind a keyboard - the importance of staying humble and listening to the person next to you is more important than ever. In this interview we covered: How @melbourneiloveyou came about Something that’s changed his perspective on life How he taught himself photography The importance of social media engagement The difference between growth on Instagram and Facebook On disarming yourself and staying honest Monetisation techniques Instagram, Bots and ‘Shadow Banning’ Influencer marketing His favourite place to shoot in Melbourne

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Edward Bourke ( @edwardjbourke ) is a political campaigner, consultant, investor and entrepreneur - a mouthful of titles for someone only 16 years of age. As Ed says himself, age is merely a number, proving his stance as an incredibly articulate and rational mind when it comes to all things business and politics. Ed makes it quite clear that he is unabashedly a right-wing - something in which has caused some outrage and will for some of our own listeners - particularly with his support of Donald Trump in the presidential election. Over the last few months there have been numerous discussions around ‘why Trump/why do people support Trump/and what is bad about Trump?’. People will know that I enjoy the content of both Sam Harris (an avowed Trump critic) and Scott Adams (a proponent of Trump’s persuasion ability). My own opinion is that we need to break down these partisan walls and understand the human across the aisle. It’s absolutely bizarre to me that in this modern Western world, there is now a razor’s edge between the alt-right and regressive left. To agree with one on a topic, firmly puts you in that camp and draws mock outrage from the other side. And so it’s in this conversation that you realise that it’s not the label that matters, but the contents. Some may disagree with his views, but you’ll probably find that some, seem quite rational (depending on your politics). I hope you are able to appreciate the conversation as much as I did, and admire the level headedness of this young man. My points of discussion include: What got him interested in politics The reality of voicing one’s opinion Economics, trade, foreign policy immigration Getting rid of the minimum wage Privatising healthcare His prediction on Trump’s foreign policy   Why Donald Trump won Democracy, compulsory voting and monarchies

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Paul Dimattina’s (@dimattinacoffee) family has been part of the coffee industry for over 50 years. The founding of Mocopan by Paul’s uncles father paved the way for many well-known brands in the industry including Coffex, Crivelli, Grinders, and Genovese. The heritage of Mocopan, and a necessity to fend for his family led Paul to start Dimattina Coffee in 1998. Paul has a strong emphasis on family, heritage and the importance of the simple things in life. This episode is more of a personal one; I’ve known Paul my entire life with him being a close family friend and godfather to my sister - he can just about make anyone laugh. And for that, he personifies the fact that hospitality can bring people closer together. In this episode we covered: Childhood memories Family history How his family got into coffee How hospitality can be a rewarding lifestyle The impact Mocopan had on the industry Why he started Dimattina coffee How he’d describe the industry now Where the industry is starting to go Advice to those wanting to enter the industry The relationship between cafe coffee label Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Rita Erlich ( @ritaerlich ) is a food writer, former co-editor of the The Age Good Food Guide, and author of multiple books including: Melbourne by Menu; Scott Pickett: A Cook’s Story ; and The Makers: A Story of Food, Family and Foreigners . Holding a brilliant reputation for over thirty years in journalism, Rita is also a passionate cook in her own right, reflecting on her early childhood as the reason for where she is today - where not eating her vegetables managed to blossom into a love of all things culinary. That, and her experience with The Age Good Food Guide, has given her the chance to not only assess, but work alongside great chefs such as Philippe Mouchel and Scott Pickett. In this episode we talked about: How Rita came to write for the The Age Good Food Guide Core principles of her writing How to be a good listener On Dining in the Dark and the senses Lessons learnt from her parents, family history How her fascination with food came about The importance of a humble dining experience How Rita cooks The industry: then vs now The food culture of Melbourne Commonalities amongst the good restaurants Cookbooks worth gifting Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Steve Sammartino (@sammartino) is an author, futurist and business technologist, who has incredible insights on technology and how it will shape our lives in the future. His belief in diversification in ways of making money (he prefers not to use the word ‘job’) is multi-faceted across writing, speaking and investing. With a background in startups, sales, and marketing, Steve has managed to utilise those abilities and bring them into tech-minded projects. From garnering 9 million views on his viral video of a Lego car, to his successful app Sneaky Surf, the man certainly knows how to practice what he preaches.   In this episode we covered: The viral Lego car video How he came to be a ‘futurist’ Gauging tech needs of the future Ingredients for disruption The cult of CEO wages What he sees five years from now Predicting the decentralisation of cities The flexibility of the gig economy His books, and becoming a writer Rubiks cubes and puzzles Something that annoys him about the tech industry Learning other languages The rise of China A problem he faces everyday, that hasn’t been solved yet   Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Paul Creasey ( @biodefined ) is a body composition specialist and personal trainer. In an earlier life, Paul was by day a school teacher (music and P.E), and by night a bodybuilder/personal trainer. But he soon realised that his true passion was for personal training, and therefore completely pivoted his life to create bioDefined. Paul is widely renowned for his expert knowledge in strength training, biomechanics and exercise execution having been trained by the likes of Charles Poliquin, Eugene Teo and Luke Leaman. An avid self-improver he has by far one of the best fitness and strength podcasts specific to local Australian talent, on bioDefined Radio, and a building library of content across multiple social platforms. We covered a wide array of fitness, strength and health topics including: Moving on from school teaching to PT’ing Advice to those who wish to switch careers On his journey with bioDefined Key principles to training and nutrition Biggest mistakes people make in regards to stress The ideal diet How he trains his clients Go-to recovery methods Go-to supplements Measuring and monitoring improvement Resources for inspiration Mistakes made by people while training Things they don’t tell you before starting as a PT How to teach someone to be a great trainer Enjoy the episode, Jordan and Lauren Show notes Bio and background {06:15} Moving on from school teaching to PT’ing {09:30} Advice to those who wish to switch careers {19:59} Lessons learnt from his parents {23:04} On his journey with bioDefined {28:08} Something he’s changed his mind on recently {31:20} Key principles to training and nutrition {33:14} Biggest mistakes people make in regards to stress {39:07} The ideal diet {44:05} How he trains his clients {52:43} Go-to recovery methods {58:29} Go-to supplements {01:01:27} Measuring and monitoring improvement {01:05:54} Resources for inspiration {01:08:57} Mistakes made by people while training {01:11:30} Things they don’t tell you before starting as a PT {01:14:15} How to teach someone to be a great trainer {01:15:11} Morning rituals and meditation {01:16:55} A question he wish people asked him {01:19:23} If he had to do a TED talk, what would it be on? {01:21:00} Best purchase under $200 {01:21:59} A problem he faces everyday that no one has solved yet {01:22:57} An insight in life that is obvious to him, but not to others {01:24:33} Current playlist {01:25:42} If he could have a billboard anywhere in Australia {01:27:03} First thing that comes to mind with the word ‘success’ {01:27:55} Check out a similar episode - #007 Anthony Ross

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Jordy Kay ( @ cool_wine_guy_69 ) is an organic winemaker growing his own grapes with his vineyard Chevre Wines, located in the beautiful Otway Ranges. We were lucky enough to visit him down at Barongarook and get a tour of his set up which includes his cabin, cellar and vines. Jordy has an emphasis on not taking life too seriously, which I think would give a lot of us perspective by seeing how he’s pursued his lifelong passion of making wine. I think the greatest lesson learnt in this podcast, is that giving your all is what’s required in making a great product. For Jordy, this means creating a beautiful bottle of wine to open and accompany with good stories. From his extensive travel, to his brief stint in modelling (of which he now laughs at), at the end of the day Jordy is a humble grape-grower from the Mornington Peninsula - personified by his motto “Don’t be a dick”. From the process of biodynamic setups to dad jokes, we also covered: The Mornington Peninsula and working at Foxeys Hangout Leaving school to pursue wine Lessons learnt from his parents Working in Europe a brief stint at modelling Starting a wine label in Portugal: Vasco’s Mistress Lessons learnt from Vasco’s to Chevre Chevre wines - organic vs ‘normal’ processes How to select the right wine Local winemakers to look out for Learning from Gary Mills at Jamsheed The process of growing and making organic wine Unintentionally running a lean business Advice to prospective winemakers If he had a million bucks to train wine newbies   Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren     Show notes Bio and background {05:30} The Mornington Peninsula and working at Foxeys Hangout {08:15} Leaving school to pursue wine {11:20} Lessons learnt from his parents {15:12} Working in Europe a brief stint at modelling {17:00} Starting a wine label in Portugal: Vasco’s Mistress {20:45} Lessons learnt from Vasco’s to Chevre {25:10} Chevre wines - organic vs ‘normal’ processes {26:20} How to select the right wine {37:40} Local winemakers to look out for {41:14} Learning from Gary Mills at Jamsheed {44:13} The process of growing and making organic wine {45:56} Unintentionally running a lean business {50:15} Advice to prospective winemakers {56:36} If he had a million bucks to train wine newbies {59:33} Apparent failures that have turned into a success {01:00:55} Morning rituals {01:06:50} Dad jokes and Love Actually {01:08:25} If he could do a TEDx talk on something other than wine {01:10:07} Best purchase under $200 {01:10:28} Most influential book he’s read {01:12:04} If he had a billboard anywhere, what would it have on it? {01:14:27} What insight about life seems obvious to him but not to others? {01:15:28}

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Matt Allen ( @mattallen ) is a prominent developer, former entrepreneur, investor and advisor within the Australian startup community, who also works as a startup BD at Amazon Web Services. Matt is a great example, and proof of, learning from mistakes and observation, knowing - much like Amazon’s founder - the importance of being a great leader as opposed to a manager. He is one of the most balanced individuals I’ve met in the startup community, always willing to give truthful advice, particularly to the multitude of founders and startups he meets along the way.   In this episode we covered: Going from corporate to startup land Getting interested in tech as a kid Work/life balance and founder burnout Growth mentality and VC backing What to look for in a founder Management vs leadership Getting into angel investing How would he go about teaching someone to code Working at Amazon Validating a product or startup prior to launch Lessons learnt from founding his own companies Knowing what he knows now, what would he change?

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Chevy Long ( @indiansummerau ) is one half of electronic duo Indian Summer, and creator of apparel line Classy Duds. It’s always fascinating to get into the heads of creative minds, and particularly with Chevy, there is an emphasis on valuing your time to focus on what you truly enjoy in life. A great episode for anyone willing to pursue their creative passions and think laterally, irrespective of how long the journey is to get there. Over the course of this episode you’ll learn that Chevy is actually a man of many hats, and has skills to apply over a multitude of areas. In this episode we discussed: The beginning of Indian Summer Opportunities to travel via touring Insights into America Trump Embracing change in life Plans for Indian Summer in the future Managing the creative process The production of a track What makes a song successful The business model of music Electronic music motivators or mentors Best and worst advice in starting out in music His interest in sustainable housing His most worthwhile investment of time (and money) Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren Show notes On the beginning of Indian Summer {04:36} Opportunities to travel via touring {22:15} Insights into America Trump {25:45} On embracing change in life {28:48} Plans for Indian Summer in the future {34:40} Managing the creative process {36:55} The production of a track {41:48} What makes a song successful {46:58} On music genre trends {55:28} Tools and software {57:03} The business model of music {58:40} Electronic music motivators or mentors {01:05:28} Best and worst advice in starting out in music {01:10:28} Apparent failures that have turned into a good thing {01:16:10} If he had to do a TED talk, what it would it be on? {01:18:49} On his interest in sustainable housing {01:19:18} Stress relief - meditation, journalling or exercise {01:29:20} What he’s currently listening to {01:31:00} Favourite non-musical sounds {01:32:06} Books he’d recommend {01:33:16} Lessons learnt from his parents {01:35:53} On his most worthwhile investment of time (and money) {01:39:38} Select Links People mentioned from the Episode Chevy on Twitter Listen to Indian Summer Classy Duds Apparel Cheap Monday Brown Alley Triple J Flume Sweat It Out (record label) Tim Ferriss Audible Ableton Melodyne Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High) Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream Radiohead Synplant Garageband Justice on using Garageband Dillon Francis merch Spotify Joe Rogan Experience Bill Burr RUFUS Daft Punk Alison Wonderland Michael Barker (drummer) Elon Musk DJ Ajax - Adrian Thomas Sustainable housing WikiHouse.cc Earthship Tesla Meditation Journalling Sapiens Tony Robbins Peter Thiel - Zero to One

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast  Dr Stephen Bright ( @stephenjbright ) is a clinically-trained psychologist with an immense amount of knowledge in the practices and application of psychedelics. Having dealt with generalised anxiety disorder for over 5 years, I’m intrigued by the significance that psychedelic medicine could play in the treatment of mental disorders. For anyone who’s ever had issues with anxiety, PTSD or other mental health conditions, this is a fascinating discussion that could open your mind up to a new area of study. This is a jam-packed episode, full of interesting areas including: Discovering psychedelics for clinical treatment The barriers of legislation to research Finding windows of opportunity: Epilepsy PTSD Psilocybin MDMA as psychotherapy Psilocybin for depression the default mode network Harm reduction principles Translating the perceived spiritual experience Neurochemically - what is happening?

Bitcoin is a fairly nascent area when it comes to the finance world, but is quite established in the technology world. Every man and his dog in finance is talking about blockchain and bitcoin, so this is a brilliant primer on what bitcoin is, and its potential utility for the future. In this episode we covered: What Coinjar is What the bitcoin industry is - explaining to a first-timer The strengths and differences of bitcoin How the bitcoin wallet works Ease of commerce and challenges On other digital currencies: Ethereum and The DAO Why people use bitcoin Opportunities in Fintech right now Leaders or authorities in bitcoin Myths and misconceptions of bitcoin Enjoy the episode,  Jordan Lauren  Show notes Career summary {03:44} The hustle from early childhood {05:48} The learning process of startups {09:54} What Coinjar is {16:14} Ways to grow - finding the next big thing {25:00} What the bitcoin industry is {32:24} The strengths and differences of bitcoin {37:56} How the bitcoin wallet works {45:07} Ease of commerce and challenges {49:21} On other digital currencies: Ethereum and The DAO {53:24} Why people use bitcoin {58:22} Opportunities in Fintech right now {59:30} Leaders or authorities in bitcoin {01:01:48} Myths and misconceptions of bitcoin {01:02:49} Morning rituals, stress relief and exercise {01:05:28} Best purchase under $200 recently {01:08:29} If he had to a TED talk, and couldn’t be on bitcoin or business, what would it be? {01:09:09} A book he’d gift someone {01:09:39} What comes to his mind with the word ‘success’ {01:10:40} If he could have a billboard anywhere, where would it be and what would it say? {01:11:17} What important truth do very few people agree with him on? {01:11:44} Select Links People mentioned from the Episode Asher on Twitter CoinJar Angelcube Bitcoin Fintech and banking Adrian Stone - see Ep 2 Ryan Zhou - CoinJar Co-Founder Blackbird Ventures KYC Bitcoin ‘mining’ Bitcoin and debit cards CoinJar Swipe The Chase Sapphire card Reward or points programs Social capital Steve Hui “Bitcoin.

For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast Scott Handsaker ( @shandsaker ) is an enigma. Well that’s at least how a few in the startup community have coined it. Scott isn’t the loudest of individuals - which I would I say is certainly his secret weapon - but he is tangible proof in the value of persistence. Every startup founder want results on a platter, and I think Scott’s episode showcases how true grit and sound practices hold you in good stead in the long term. In this episode we covered: Attendly and his favourite events Nurturing his talent in computer science as a teen Deconstructing pseudoscience Routines, to-do lists and time management Competitive advantage in startups What makes a good mentor Mistakes made in startups Myths and misconceptions of the startup culture Startup Victoria Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren Show notes Startup career background {04:15} On Attendly and favourite events {10:55} Nurturing his talent in computer science as a teen {12:15} Lessons learnt from his parents {15:18} On deconstructing pseudoscience {17:43} Core principles {21:00} On routines, to-do lists and time management {24:07} Competitive advantage in startups {30:44} What makes a good mentor {33:40} Mistakes made in startups {38:46} Myths and misconceptions of the startup culture {46:10} On Startup Victoria {47:30} If he had to train three founders for twelve weeks, how would he do it? {51:25} Mainstays in startup world {53:09} A question people haven’t asked him, but wished they did? {55:00} If he had to do a TED talk, what would it be on?
