Scholars' JourneysTea La on finding your happy placeToday's guest on Scholars' Journeys is Tea La. Tea is currently in Indonesia and spent part of her scholarship experience in South Korea.
This is a powerful conversation.
Firstly, because it's a lot of fun! If you love nature, sport and the mountains, I think you'll love this conversation because Tea talks a lot about her various adventures in the outdoors.
But secondly, Tea shares a very challenging, personal experience that she encountered during her time in Seoul. She was right in the middle of a terrifying incident and fortunately was physically unharmed...2024-03-0938 min
Scholars' JourneysLiam Holt on adventures in Nepal and Indonesia and making an impact at grass roots levelJust when you think you understand something about the world, someone comes along and opens up a door to a new dimension of it that you hadn't yet seen.
That's exactly how I felt throughout this conversation with Liam Holt. In it, we talk about his travels and experiences in both Nepal and Indonesia, as well as his wide range of professional and personal interests.
Liam also gives me a good introductory education on menstrual discrimination, something that I'm a little ashamed to admit I didn't even know existed! (and that's coming from someone who...2024-02-2936 min
Scholars' JourneysJulian Loh on the beer that changed everythingWhen Julian Loh was invited for a beer by one of his professors during his overseas scholarship program in Hong Kong, little did he know how much impact it would have on his future career direction.
Interestingly enough, I first met Julian around this exact time. He was one of the very first Scholars I ever interviewed, on locaton in their host destination. That interview (see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeuihExb9IM) is just as relevant today as it was back then. "Extraordinary doesn't mean easy" said Julian.
And this is...2024-02-2325 min

Scholars' JourneysLucas Cary, environmentalist and Indonesia Scholar, on how mining isn't the enemy of the environment and how impact comes from our ability to build relationshipsIt’s a perfect afternoon in Perth, lingering afternoon warmth under a cloudless blue sky. I’m sitting in a shaded beer garden on the edge of the city centre, there’s a hum of conversation as tables of relaxed, t-shirt wearing locals kick back over pints of cold beer.
Opposite me is a young environmentalist, Lucas. He’s tall and blond with a huge smile that rarely leaves his face. We’re recording a podcast, but something has me perplexed, because I have a nagging feeling that there’s a contradiction at play.
We’re talking about the ocea...2024-02-0742 min
Scholars' JourneysConor Gould on the future of technology and the paths that lead thereWelcome to Season 2 of the Scholars Journeys podcast, and today's episode came about by pure chance.
I was up on campus at Bond University and had organised to have coffee with Conor Gould (https://www.linkedin.com/in/conorgould/) to talk about an AI-based project we'd been chatting about online.
But as the conversation started, it was so interesting I had to say "Hang on mate, can we record this? I reckon people in the network will be fascinated to hear how AI is evolving."
