Talking to diverse individuals and amazing minds about their journey through education. Who are they? Who made them and what experiences shaped them? Also, what comes next? We also talk abot how can we continue growing and changing and influencing each others with the pros and cons of technology.
Basically, we have a fun time!
Have you heard the expression "Never meet your heroes"? Well, I met one of my podcasting heroes and he surpassed my expectations! Dave is the founder of the Print Design Academy, teaching Graphic Designers how to print and how to fall in love with print. His story is a whirlwind of learning experiences, getting chances and taking advantage of them, following passions and showing them to others. From learning on the job to becoming a teacher, Dave tells us his tale.
On this interview we spoke about:
* Our shared obsession with paper and printed goods
* Getting up at 4am to workout (I mean damn!) because Discipline over Motivation
* How an ex-girlfriend's dad had a major impact in Dave's life
* Learning print on the job at a printshop
* His other podcast (the low key inspiration for this show)
* The Print Design Academy and the Colour Bar Challenge
* The Design Community born out of a challenge

a head of engineering at Engineered? with Ray Lawlor
This week, I had the pleasure of learning more about my wonderful colleague Ray Lawlor. Ray and I both work at The Customer Bureau (Helping iconic brands become customer centric) and a while back Ray approached me with an amazing story, his story. In his words, he didn't know what he wanted to do until he was 30. Ray believes that learning and figuring out what you want to do is a constant process of life and that change is wonderful and nothing to be afraid of. This story is truly wild and I can't wait to share it with you.
On this interview we spoke about:
* Ray's selftaught journey
* From music to television to advertising to engineering (I mean, what?!)
* Celebrating scholarship programs
* A wonderful woman named Anne
* Not being made for formal education
* Supporting partners during freelancing and jumping from freelancing to company team member
* The importance of having awesome colleagues
* Giving kids the chance to be lifelong learners
* A chat about priviledge

a visual artist inspired by biological science? with Rafael Martig
Staying in line with the environmentalist topic, this week we have another warrior for the earth but who uses a physical medium and not a digital one. Rafael Martig, has a fascinating story of combining the logical and emotional to advocate for conservation of flora and fauna. From a young age, he loved nature and learned to observe and learn from it. Born into a family of creatives, he took the science path before getting back to his roots and picking up a brush to make his audience think about the role they play in the future of the planet. A true pleasure to talk to such a rare bird (that joke will make sense after you listen to this episode, trust me it's brilliant)
On this interview we spoke about:
* Going from scientist to visual artist
* A lifelong fascination with birds and being known as the bird guy
* Doing what you can with the skills you have
* The voting pencil that inspired a super long painting (literally, it's super long)
* How impact can start in your own backyard
