In with the Outsiders

Carmen Murray is a formidable force and visionary thinker who can unlock your inner Øutsider. It's time to get off the couch and into the arena, disrupt the thinking, and get real in this chaotic world. Be the catalyst for change and question everything. What makes Øutsiders powerful is their ability to turn their backs on the crowds and face the music they want to create. In with the Outsiders is all about overlooking the differences that divide us and paying more attention to the differences that unite us and make us want to celebrate our differences and recognise how damn special we all are! Carmen will explore meaningful conversations with people, changing how we see the world, one word, one day, one act at a time. If you are an underdog, then you are an Øutsider. If you are a rebel, then you are an Øutsider. If you want to expand your mind, you are an Øutsider. If you are awakened, you are an Øutsider. So why not become an insider with the Øutsiders? Let’s learn together through curiosity!

Bring an open mind, grab a drink, and come on a joyride of wisdom. In this episode, Carmen Murray and John Vlismas talk to Karen Zoid (rock singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, and talk show host) in the Solid Gold virtual studio about her life story. We always knew we all have so much in common as Øutsiders, just not how much. An adventurer that is comfortable with a spreadsheet ends up having a much better adventure. Come and listen to Karen Zoid. She is 'F$@king' Amazing! Music: John Bartman | Outsiders Connect with Karen Zoid · Join the Outsiders

In this authentic episode, Carmen Murray and John Vlismas unite after 40 days of lockdown to share their Øutsiders journey as two formidable forces and visionary thinkers during one of the most novel times of the 21st century. They reflect on how Øutsiders started as a philosophy, community, a podcast, and how they joined forces to help businesses recover, rebound, and flourish. They unpack the discomfort they've had to face and how they had to become Houdini Masters to invent themselves out of the box of locks and chains. Enjoy the episode!

In this episode, Carmen Murray and John Vlismas join two brave activists. One is determined to convert porn consumers to respectful observers of consensual, non-exploitative love between humans - and one who relentlessly pursued his rapist, and now promises justice for as many survivors as he can manage. A fearless and feared presence in the world of gender politics, Cindy is the epitome of formidable. Deon is a goofy, empathetic and articulate storyteller, and we’re instantly thrilled we could bring them together. The conversation is rapid-fire - but what emerges is the diamond-like exteriors and then sudden deep empathy and kindness. They understand that the human-animal has an almost infinite capacity for darkness - and affinity for light. Instead of polarity, they preach conscious inclusion. Authenticity and audacity are flying off the walls as the conversation hits nerves and bounces off taboos. Music: John Bartmann | Outsiders Connect with Cindy Gallop · Connect with Deon Wiggett

In this episode, Prof. Jonathan Jansen (Stellenbosch University | Professor in the Faculty of Education), known for his strong views on transformation, peaceful reconciliation and unity, talks to John Vlismas and Carmen Murray about why he considers himself an Øutsider and shares an insight into his views, never heard before. In this interview, he finally says if they call his name, he will step into the arena of politics and try and help this country. He bluntly says, no matter what you say about education, there is no point in having a 4th Industrial Revolution when children are worried about their safety, hygiene, and their level of hunger at school. He wants to fix that first. The future is not about AI, it's about ladies from NG Kerk becoming enlightened and teaching mathematics on the streets of Elsie’s River. That is the story of our Future.
