G’DAY WORLD #300 – The End Of Season Three and James Masini from Hippo

Well folks, here we are, 300 episodes and 3 years in, and I’m just getting warmed up! However, with a new year of G’Day World comes a new format, a new topic and a new question which demands The Cam’s attention – what are you doing on a daily basis to make the world a better place? As you’ll hear in today’s show, that is going to be my focus in the Year Four of G’Day World and TPN.

Also on today’s show, I’ve got a recording from MODM 7 where Simon Chen and I chatted with James Masini, 24-year-old Melbourne entrepreneur and founder of Hippo, an online job board to 15 – 24 year-olds. There’s a lot of background noise and we were standing too far away from the mics, but it’s audible and a great story. I hope you don’t mind the low quality. I was using the new Blue Snowball and Macbook for the first time and over-estimated it’s ability to pick us up amid the noise.

Speaking about my new Macbook Pro – it was sponsored by the awesome folks at Global1Training who are also sponsoring my interview from a few months ago with Dr John Demartini. If you didn’t hear that show, I highly recommend it, especially if you’re feeling like you could be getting a little more out of your life. Demartini has some great tips for asking yourself the right questions.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the show over the last three years – I’ve had the time of my life. Three years making this shit for a living. It should almost be illegal.

    I caught up again with Dr Peter Ellyard today for another enlightening and invigorating chat about where the world is heading. Every time Peter and I catch up it’s like sticking my fingers in a power socket. I come out of the time with him feeling inspired.

  • Buckminster Fuller’s last book “Critical Path” and some of his recommendations
  • Some of Peter’s ideas on ways future entrepreneurs can change the world and make BEEEELIONS of dollars
  • Becoming a “Future Maker”
  • Why Peter has been a vegan and doing Iyengar yoga for 35 years

    GDAY WORLD 205 – Em. Prof. Jack Smart AC, Philosopher

    J. J. C. “Jack” Smart is the Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Research School of Social Sciences at Australian National University. Someone once said that if there was a Nobel Prize for Philosophy, he would have won it at least twice. He graciously invited me to lunch at the Monash Club (and insisted on picking up the tab!) and afterwards we discussed philosophy, especially his major contributions, including the demolition of mind-brain dualism and his contribution to metaphysics in the area of philosophy of time. We also talk about his ethical stance of utilitarianism, where his arguments against rule utilitarianism have been very influential.

    Jack is 86 and said he doesn’t know much about podcasting but his grandkids are always talking about it.
