Episode 127 – Dave Balfour (Steel Assassins Festival, Metal Evilution)
Dave Balfour might be the most ‘metal’ person I know. In fact if there was a measure of ones metalness (sure, that’s a word) Dave would be at the highest measure of 666 out of 666. In all seriousness and cheesiness aside, Dave has been carrying the flag for a significant part of the Sydney

Episode 125 – Steven Ryan (Successful Property Investor, Vagabonder)
A return guest from episode 11 of the podcast, Steven Ryan is (in my opinion) a property investing tycoon. He now owns 4 properties in Sydney and Brisbane totalling close to 3 million dollars.

Episode 124 – Syd Green (MonoNest Studio, ex-Mantissa, 19Twenty)
Syd Green’s career in music is like unravelling a Matryoshka doll. You open up the first doll to find another one inside. When you think you’ve opened them all, you find yet another doll sitting there to surprise you. Many of my old school metal/rock mates will remember Syd best from his years with Killing Time/Mantissa.

Be a wanker! Be creative!
I’ve been pretty lucky. For a large chunk of my life I’ve been in the company of many creative people. Musicians, artists, performers, and the like. Overall it’s been a pretty supportive group that are open minded and embrace their creativity and the creativity of those around them. With that being said, however, I have

Fear of Fear
Fear. I don’t think a lot of people understand the word at times, or more so realise that their actions are often being ruled by it. This isn’t about fear in a situation where your life or health depends on it. We all know that there are circumstances where we need to be controlled by

You know how much energy it has taken me to stop, sit down, and starting typing this? Honestly, to try and slow my brain down just enough to get that *little* bit of focus to begin tapping away was such a hard task. But hey, here I am and I’m now on a roll. Have
