Adam Ferrier: Building a brand, nurturing creativity, and embracing the unconventional  Adam Ferrier has spent his life trying to understand people, and how to capture their attention. A consumer psychologist by trade, he wrote his master’s thesis on what makes some people “cool” and others not. The founder of creative agency Thinkerbell, Adam believes that brands and people must first “fit in” with the rules of their category before they can truly be distinctive and stand out. He prioritises creativity, and nurturing amongst his team, his work, and every day life. Consistently challenging conventions, Adam is a true creative leader, and whether you consider yourself a creative or not, his unconventional methods could change the way you show up and lead.

Childhood was full of adventure,it never had to be sought out or actively practiced, it happened daily, without thought or much effort, but as we grow the art of adventure begins to shrink.   Beau Miles wanted to keep the magic of childhood and adventure in his everyday, and has managed to carve out a life as a professional adventurer, combining his work as a filmmaker and his love of play.   Beau believes that adventuring is a personal challenge, and requires us to step out of our comfort zone to embark on an adventure, but they don’t have to be big or complex to be worthwhile.   Although Beau’s adventures have consisted of running a marathon in a hotel, and running abandoned railway lines, and has led to him amassing a global audience on Youtube, he will inspire you to inject more play, curiosity and adventure into your own life.   More from Beau:https://www.youtube.com/@BeauMiles   The Backyard Adventurer by Beau Miles book   Links from this episode:The Day My Hat Died videoA Mile an Hour video Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you have space in your life? Not time, but space.

We watched with bated breath, as Ariarne Titmus touched the wall ahead of Katie Ledecky - considered by some to be the greatest female swimmer of all time, but it was far from luck on the day that cemented Ariarne’s name in the history books.    From early on in her life, Arnie had learnt the relationship between hard work and success, a value instilled by her parents that helped forge her path to becoming one of Australia's greatest swimmers.   Paired with her coach, Dean Boxall, their unique relationship built on brutal honesty, shared standards, and unwavering trust, has been the ‘key’ in unlocking the fierce competitor. Beyond the glory is humility, a love for family, and a passion which extends past chasing the black line.    Now on a hiatus from swimming, she shares what’s next for her, and if she will be repping the green and gold in LA in 2028.Keep up to date with Ariarne:Ariarne Titmus Instagram   Ariarne’s 400m gold medal win at the Tokyo Olympics Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  ‘Generous, patient and tenacious’ are the three words Des Flanagan says sum him up and always have. Des is a boy from Beechworth in regional Victoria, who found himself performing in the Moulin Rouge kicking a leg, singing some of the greatest love songs ever written and having the time of his life. In his first lead role in a mainstage show, Des spent two years and 10 months playing the lead male protagonist Christian 657 times. His love for the stage began with little concerts with his siblings curated for their parents, until Des realised that family fun was to become his destiny. What followed was years of study at the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts, beginning his career in musical theatre. While Des has starred in Neighbours and a few short films, he’s definitely ruled IN doing some great Australian film work in the future.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Des Flanagan:   To learn more about Des: Des on Instagram Des on IMDB Aran Micheal Management   Links from this episode: Moulin Rouge How Des Flanagan learnt he had the role of 2021   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 8: Tansel Ali Tansel Ali used to have a terrible memory. He’d forget people’s names, conversations he’d just had, numbers, and even had difficulties remembering what he just read. It was when he started learning ‘memory techniques’ that he realised his memory wasn’t bad, it was just untrained. Tansel was in his early 20s when he discovered memory training, at the same time he learned he needed serious stomach surgery, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. So while he recovered in hospital he put his mind to work. Since then, Tansel has been crowned four-time Australian Memory Sports Champion, memorised two Yellow Pages phone books, authored two books, created educational initiatives for schools and helped people with dyslexia, ADHD, as well as high performance athletes, keynote speakers and corporate leaders.   **We would like to say an extra special thank you to Tansel for recording this episode with us just a few days after his Dad had passed away, we so appreciated his willingness to sit down and chat and be so open.

Episode 7: Penelope Jordan A bike rave, Korean BBQ, bouldering and pole dancing are just a handful of new things the First Timers Club has tried, since kicking off in January 2024. And Penelope Jordan couldn’t be more thrilled that her idea for a club for curious grown-ups looking to connect with others, has taken off. The genesis for FTC came after she returned from a stint overseas and following Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns, when she and her friend Rosie held their first activity when it was just the two of them. But the popularity has grown, where complete strangers come together to do a thing, realising the ‘first time’ isn’t necessarily about the activity, but rather getting past the fear and anxiety of showing up in the first place.    TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Penelope Jordan:   To learn more about Penelope: First Timers Club on Instagram The First Timers Club website The First Timers Club ABC News The First Timers Club Frankie   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 6: Ben Northey Music was in Benjamin Northey’s blood from a young age, and he credits his teachers at Ballarat Clarendon College for encouraging his path into music where he studied flute, clarinet and saxophone. But it was the belief and mentorship of John Hopkins who encouraged Ben, at age 29, to be the first candidate for his new Master of Music in Conducting degree at the Victorian College of the Arts and Music that he will never forget. Now as Chief Conductor of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor, Artistic Advisor Learning and Engagement of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Ben says he’s one of the luckiest people he knows because he loves what he does. From conducting orchestras the world over, to collaborating with big names including Tim Minchin, James Morrison, Sting and Hilltop Hoods, Ben is living his dream and is ever grateful for those who helped him get there.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Benjamin Northey:   To learn more about Ben: Ben on Instagram Ben on LinkedIn Benjamin Northey website Ben Northey on Wikipedia Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Ben Northey Christchurch Symphony Orchestra: Ben Northey   Links from this episode: Edward Elgar: English composer Finland’s Sibelius Academy Vladimir Jurowsky: Conductor John Hopkins: Conductor & mentor London Philharmonic Orchestra   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I Linktree  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
