Zeb Cunningham-Brown & Harry Aughey
Chats about change, challenges and choosing a pathway that scares you the most. Hosts Harry & Zeb want to help you better understand your purpose and the direction you’re heading by drawing inspiration from others.
Each episode features a special guest who is interviewed because they have either found themselves in an uncomfortable position, adapted to unfamiliar change, or pulled on their own passions to find a new purpose in life.
Tune in to call on your inner chameleon and come to your senses about who you are, and what you need to do, to get where you need to go.
This week we chatted with Meghan Loneragan, a word wizard and professional in the PR and Communications scene. Having once worked in a dream job as a paid travel blogger, Meghan uncovered what it's like to manage a profile dedicated to creating content while on the move, and the uglier side that involves work that might not necessarily align with your values or interests.
We discuss the highs and lows of being a self-employed creative, her experience in boarding school, developing self-confidence online, becoming a mum, and the ingredients needed to create compelling content. She is effortlessly cool, quirky and funny, and has developed self-confidence by not being afraid to show her true colours to the world. There are plenty of great words of advice for anyone who is wanting to express themselves more publicly!

In this week's Episode we learnt that you may not always want to do the thing you dreamed of doing as a kid. The funny thing about our education system is that we are forced to pick subjects and make decisions on a certain vision to set ourselves up on a career pathway from a young age. Often, it's not until we experience different ways of living, and working different jobs that we uncover what we actually want to do for a career. Luke Timmins is living proof of this, and at age 28 he became the South Australian Young Entrepreneur of the year for co-ownership of his business Adelaide Hills Lawns and Gardens.
Luke is a very intelligent man who went from building rocketships to mowing lawns and has done a damn good job of it! This is a great episode for anyone who is unsure about their current university degree or thinking about starting up their own services-based business in the trade industry.
