Colour. Life wouldn’t be the same without it. But there are so many to choose from, how do we know which is the right colour? eg. What colour car would you buy? What colour shoes? What colour paint for the new feature wall in the kitchen?
Sometimes you just instinctively know what colour(s) to choose. It’s a vibe thing. Other times, it’s nice to get a bit of help. And in this episode we speak with celebrated artist and ceramicist Lucia Fraser about the Basic Colour Wheel: Bringing a bit of structure and dare we say it, science to proceedings to help understand how colours relate to and complement each other. We also discuss how colour can affect and reflect our emotions. I particularly enjoyed our discussion about how brand logos are different to art when it comes to colour and that the colours chosen often have clear functions to play.

Are you a slave to your possessions? Do your possessions form part of your identity? How easy is it to fall into a trap where one new purchase begets another, and another, and another...?
In a double-landlocked country you must cross at least two national borders to reach a coastline connected to the world’s oceans.
This discussion centres on “overnight success” as an illusion; prompted by Jono’s sketch of Twitter Cofounder, Biz Stone’s quote: “Timing, perseverance, and 10 years of trying will eventually make you seem like an overnight success.”
In this fun and nostalgic conversation, we discuss Jono's observation that with indoor games especially, as the momentum builds, you keep playing until something gets broken! There's a cheeky inevitability to it. It's a situation we've almost all certainly been in - whether you were the protagonist or not!
US Navy submarine captain and author David Marquet discusses leadership lessons from turning the USS Santa Fe from worst to best, focusing on “pushing authority to information” rather than pushing information up a hierarchy.
