 Your Story Addendum Ep 27 : A New Trip to Europe | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Letting life unfold as it will… What will happen, will happen and we can do nothing about it because we don’t have any control despite the illusion that we do. This, to my understanding is the way of life. We live an illusion that we make decisions about all manner of things but the reality is every decision we make is based on the sum total of experiences that we’ve had in our life. At the most fundamental level we are our genetics and our totality of experiences, nothing more. And those two criteria are all that we are and every decision is based on those things. We make our decisions based on this criteria but who are we, if not our genetics and our experiences which drive our decisions? Todays Your Story Addendum episode is from the departure gate just prior to boarding my flight to Europe. I’m off on a trip to Europe for 2.5 months. Initially I’ll be in Megève in the French Alps as a guest of my sister and her family then I’ll be heading north to spend a couple of months in Berlin. Did I make the decision to go? Well, I may think and feel like I did but the reality is I simply reacted to the situations as they presented themselves with the final upshot being I’m now on my way as I write this somewhere over Indonesia. But more to the point this trip is about creating situations that could provoke opportunity. In my everyday life I have a routine of situations and people who are a constant with little variation and without breaking away from the status quo I’ll continue to have the same opportunities. It’s crunch time! For five years now I’ve been working on Your Story and Create Your Life Story, to learn the skills and develop the sites to where they may be able viable as more than just hobbies. I’ve tried a few things to develop them but to date these things haven’t worked and it’s time to see if there may be some other opportunities that I haven’t considered. Staying in my home environment will maintain a similar situation to what’s been the case for these last five years but travelling to Europe may, just may, create an environment that is different and present opportunities that I couldn’t find at home. Everyone who’s had any level of success will be the first to credit the good fortune in their lives that has lead to them becoming who they are (actually that’s the same for all of us, good and bad), and that good fortune could turn up anywhere. It’s just that if you get around, meet more people and be in different situations there is a greater chance of that good fortune turning up. It isn’t choosing anything! For me this is just about putting myself out there where opportunity may arise and allowing things to unfold. When we think about it, that’s how life is for all of us. I don’t know or can’t imagine what may come of this trip. Maybe something, maybe nothing but as I said when I started on this adventure of learning how to podcast I’d rather give a red hot go, than stay in the certainty of routine. What may come. I’ve a few ideas for content for Your Story. We may get to revisit some past stories to see how they’ve developed over the last few years and I’m sure we’ll discover a few new stories. I’m hoping to produce both video and audio content and I’ll be putting it out in all the usual channels. Since my last trip social networks have continued to develop and with the power of my new iPhone 4S along with the video, photo, audio sharing networks there is an opportunity for me to put out a variety of content through multiple channels. If you want to find all the major social channels that I use go to

 Your Story Ep 65 : Charmaine. Food History, Writing and What You Don’t Know of Indian Food | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 38:37

Some people have a passion for food that goes beyond what most of us have. Click to share on Twitter Do you love food? I mean really love it, in all the different ways that it can mean. The history, the preparation, the eating, the sharing! Or do you just eat food because you have to, as the cooking is more of a task that has to be put up with in order to eat. For some people food is more than just simple sustenance and for Charmaine O'Brien food is far more than just that! We all eat but it's rare to find someone who embodies food in more than just the simplest body nurturing way. Occasionally I come across someone who eats, breathes and sleeps food, and recently at the Oral History Association of Australia conference in Melbourne, I had the good fortune to meet and ask Charmaine to come onto the show and tell us about her interest in food, based on the stimulating presentation and menu she prepared for the dinner. What's on the menu? – 100 years ago! It's not often that we get to taste a historical menu from post colonial, Australian cookbooks and discover that food reproduced from 100+ years ago is not just boiled mutton and lard with damper. As we discuss on this episode of Your Story, the meal was a wonderful blend of different ingredients that we no longer think of using and a surprise to realise how well the people of Victorian Australia ate, despite the challenges of preparing food without all the modern appliances that we now take for granted. Charmaine opened my eyes to how well they ate in the 19th century and some of the reasons for how things have changed over the last 120 years.

How does an entrepreneur see the world? Click to share on Twitter Are you one of those rare individuals who see the world differently? You see opportunities where others only see problems! Do you then have the skills to action those opportunities to make something of them? Maybe a business! If you are, maybe you're what is referred to as an entrepreneur. But the curse of the entrepreneur is seeing too many opportunities and maybe working on so many of them that the efforts are fragmented and none are given the effort that is necessary to make a success of any.

 Industrial Product Design of a Modern Stove Top Espresso from a Classic Atomic | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:02:19

Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door – NOT! **BLAM!… Out of nowhere you have the inspiration of a great idea. You've just dreamed up a new and novel way of doing something that everyone will want and now all you have to do is show it to the world for the fame and fortune to be yours. Too easy! Now to make it happen… How many times have you heard or thought this yourself? Good ideas are like grains of sand on the beach, very few will ever find their way to an oyster to become a pearl. Craig Hiron has learned the lesson, that there are four main steps to making a raging success, while developing one of the hardest design tasks around in the OTTO Espresso. The easiest aspect of any new project is the inspiration, where everyone has a good idea… But of the millions of good ideas, few make it to the serious design phase, where the reality of the idea will normally fall by the wayside… Leaving few, to move on and deal with the challenges of  manufacturing… Then only to be left on the shelf without great marketing. By the time an idea has been through each part of this process, with sometimes hundreds of thousands of steps, dealing with multiple complication of ideas, people, finance and business, very few ever survive to become a viable success. And then you have to measure success? Craig tells us of his journey to create, from the inspired classic form of the Atomic Stove Top Cappuccino Maker, something that takes 21st century technologies and creates the ultimate portable cook top espresso maker. When the OTTO Espresso was released I immediately ordered one because of my love for my Atomic and it's classic form but also with full regard for the challenges of manufacturing the OTTO. My unboxing video is below. Craig explains in detail in this episode of Your Story the challenges of finding a product to develop, all the way through the design, manufacturing and marketing process. Bringing the inspired idea to fruition is is a tale of determination to overcome the pitfalls and a great lesson for anyone interested in product design, manufacturing and marketing. If you're a student of industrial design this is a must listen to episode of Your Story.

 Childrens Charity support through community passion to dance tango | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 37:57

Using their pleasure for tango to help others who desperately need it Click to share on Twitter We've all had the experience where we've gained so much value from people or an activity that we feel a need to return something. It called reciprocity  – the desire to do something in return. In this episode of  Your Story we talk to John and Cheryl Lowry about how they have fulfilled this desire in themselves for all the pleasure that they've had from being involved in learning and dancing tango. They've returned the favour not to the greater tango community but by using that communities desire to dance tango socially as a means of generating income to support disadvantaged children in Argentina by setting up Para Los Niños children's charity. Internationally supported The charity is supported internationally to enable income to be generated through milongas (tango dances) which is then used in Argentina to support many desperately in need children to have what we would call the necessities of life. Here is an example of one of the Milongas that has been orginised in aid of Para Los Niños.
