On our latest Podcast I talked to Sheryl Worthington, a Senior Laboratory Scientist from Auckland New Zealand. She is a Healthy Ageing Advocate and a business mentor in a wellness company.

The timing seems right for me to update and refresh this digital blog. I thought I would also give people and update as to how I have been going and what I have been up to. Like most people around the world, my life has been governed by the pandemic. Currently, I am based in Singapore. I have been here for the most part of the last 12 months, but I also have just recently come back from a trip to Melbourne, Australia. This gave me an opportunity to see how Melbourne looked like coming out of lock down compared to here. I lived through the first year of the pandemic in Melbourne and I remember how I felt living it.
After a year since the dynamic digital duo worked together on an assignment they are still in touch.
This episode is an update on why the team is doing separately in their lives as from April 2021
We duck dive a few minutes to discuss TikTok and why it differs from other social media platforms. Is it safe? How much data is actually gathered by the platform? Its just social media! The issues relating to surveillance and security is alarming and most people wouldn't even realise the dangers of how this data can be potentially be used by the Chinese state government. The US is looking to ban it but it seems Australia is not overly concerned with this Chinese owned company that runs the platform. It is on the radar, but Australia is adopting a wait and see approach with some caution.

Wow. We kind of needed to take a bit of a breather to take all of this in. We have been having so much fun with this little project of ours that we thought we would do a summary mashup of the 5 interviews we have done to date. Our Instagram identity is taking shape and developing consistent content and messaging, We have 20 Draft topics to write about in the blog and we also have been able to Journal our progress. There is not enough time in the day to do everything we want do. We do realise it takes time and we are playing the long game with this project. Thank you to everyone that is already on our journey. Live Work Digital and beyond!
