For show notes and links: neuralle.com/podcast Felicity Mashuro ( @Flick_01 ) is a human rights advocate, with a special interest in Women’s Development. In this click-first, think-last world I felt that it’s important to investigate and understand how to build principles around topics of morality and ethics. This is crucial to identifying the difference between what is right, and what is wrong. The truth to certain topics is incredibly important in this modern era, particularly as globalism and technology affects our political and social landscape - giving rise to trends such as populism. We covered a few topics including: Immigration and refugee law Convincing those who are anti-immigration Her guiding principles Income inequality Feminism Morning rituals Mindfulness Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren Show notes Bio and background {03:55} On immigration and refugee law {10:15} Convincing those who are anti-immigration {42:15} Her guiding principles {48:55} On income inequality {52:10} On feminism {01:06:10} Lessons learnt from her parents {01:21:10} First thing that comes to mind with the word success {01:22:50} Morning rituals or other habits {01:23:40} On mindfulness {01:24:35} If she did a TED talk, what would it be on? {01:26:45} A film that’s blown her mind recently {01:28:25} Influential books {01:30:15} Best purchase under $200 over the last 2 years {01:30:40} Journaling habits {01:32:54} If she could have a billboard anywhere, where would it be what would it say? {01:34:10} Select Links People mentioned from the Episode Felicity Mashuro on Twitter, Instagram , Website Zimbabwe Human Rights Law Refugee Law Manus Island Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind UNHCR Immigration 457 Visas White Australia Policy Sam Harris Compassion Mindfulness Will MacAskill Tenda - in reference to her husband and prev guest (ep 004) Univeral basic income Global north, global south Logan (2017) Neoliberalism Trickle-down economics Feminism International Women’s Development Agency Identity politics Liberal, cultural, radical - types of feminism Germaine Greer Civil liberties Saudi Arabia Uncovered Michelle Obama Green tea Meditation Smiling Mind Mandala as meditation Board games Spoons (game) Film Happy (2011) Gross National Happiness The Last of Us

Show notes links: neuralle.com/podcast Nathan Sampimon ( @nathan_scott) , is one of the most selfless people I’ve met so far in the Victorian Startup community. Founding Inspire9 and building a community around it has indirectly pushed the Melbourne startup world forward. It’s forced many wannabe entrepreneurs or geeks into hobbies or businesses they would never have thought of doing, if they were just sitting at home. His work as one of the founders of AngelCube only supported the community further and we’re sure that we’ll see great things as Dream Factory Tribes start to flourish. This podcast is a brilliant lesson in all aspects of business, community, life balance startups. Some topics we covered: ‘Founder Burnout’ - realisations coming from taking a break Taking advantage of the work/life balance Teaching resilience gratitude: sales and hospitality The enjoyment of cycling The inception of Inspire9 growing the community City planning to foster better community growth Tribes, the app What he looks for in an investment Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren Show notes Background of Inspire9 and current projects {06:00} Working in San Francisco via AngelCube {09:35} On ‘Founder Burnout’ - realisations coming from taking a break {11:10} Taking advantage of the work/life balance {17:15} Teaching resilience gratitude: sales and hospitality {18:45} On the enjoyment of cycling {22:10} The inception of Inspire9 {27:25} Growing the Inspire9 community {41:50} On Tribes, the app {56:55} City planning to foster better community growth {59:20} What he looks for in an investment {01:07:55} The cross-pollination of his interests and how it applies in his businesses {01:10:20} If he could go back and do it all again, what would he change? {01:13:30} Lessons learnt indirectly or directly from his parents {01:15:25} Something he believes in, or obvious to him, that may not be to others {01:16:20} First thing he thinks of with the word ‘success’ {01:16:50} Recommended books {01:17:30} If he had a billboard anywhere, where would it be and what would it say? {01:22:50} What he’s currently listening to or watching {01:24:09}

For show notes: neuralle.com/podcast Chris Michaelides ( LinkedIn ) is my uncle, businessman, and in many ways the head of the wider Michaelides family. The reason for this episode is slightly selfish in that I wanted to gradually capture the memories and knowledge of the older generation within my family. In earlier years, my grandmother (and Chris’ mother), was really the “matriarch” of our family - the glue that bound us all together. Her recent battle with dementia has been a somewhat swift changing of the guard, as her memory has gradually faded. That’s made me realise how important it is to capture the knowledge and memories for the next generation. Chris has a wealth of knowledge in business and life, and has always shown the value in hard work or grit. As a secondary father figure, I’ve looked up to Chris over the years, and learnt immensely by picking his brain in business and life. My hope is that you enjoy his knowledge and this conversation as much as I did. Topics covered include: His new health change through a stricter diet Lessons learnt from his parents Garnering a strong work ethic The attraction to creative industries His core principles beliefs How he defines success Travelling to Africa on safari The importance of eating dinner as a family Lessons learnt from running different businesses Enjoy the episode, Jordan Lauren Show notes Eating plan and weight loss {04:15} Bio and background {07:25} Learning from his parents - garnering a work ethic {09:00} Career background {10:50} The attraction to creative industries {14:40} Core principles and beliefs {18:20} How he defines success {19:55} Weekly habits or rituals {21:30} Favourite books {23:55} On his travel to Africa {24:50} On his parenting style {29:50} Family rituals {39:35} Lessons learnt from running different businesses {41:50}   What he would teach a class of school-leavers {44:05} The main constant in all businesses he’s had {47:40} If he could go back and change his pathway in business, would he? {48:20} On the intricacies of the fashion industry {50:40} If he did a TED talk, what would it be on? {56:55} Something he has changed his mind on lately {57:45} Best purchase under $200 in the last year {58:50} Five favourite non-musical sounds {59:47} What forms his everyday ‘tool-kit’ {01:02:23} An insight in life that is more obvious to him than to others {01:04:15} Advice to his younger self {01:06:10} If he could have a billboard anywhere, where would it be what would it say? {01:07:03} Late historical figures he identifies with {01:10:30} Music he’s currently listening to {01:11:25} What would he spend his time on if not in business? {01:13:15}
