Jenni talks about being an artist, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

Jenni studied to be an art educator and eventually ended up with her own studio in the southwest of Western Australia.

My favourite quote of the episode is "Having a picture is a guaranteed disappointment. Surely we've all had a picture of how an event's gonna be or how a meal's gonna be, or how a person's gonna be, and how disappointing is that Most of the time. If you go in with an open heart and an open mind, what comes from you needs to be respected, and if you don't like it, it's yours. You can burn it."

Dianna talks about being a podcaster, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "I'm so curious about so many things, and you just cannot get all the answers by yourself. The other day. I was talking to a friend and she was talking about the noxious gases released by a lake in South Africa, or around that way, and I ended up going on a side quest for several hours researching Noxious Lakes and how they impacted communities in the area. If I didn't have that person to talk to, and this was within the Finding Elara Group, if I didn't have that person to contact, or speak to, I wouldn't have even thought of that for a world building aspect. There's just so many fascinating things you can't know by yourself."

Dan talks about being a parkrun Statesman, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "And sometimes like we'll have a parkrun coffee. And you go, okay, I've had coffee and then suddenly it's morning tea. And then after morning tea, suddenly, lunches come out. And then it's like after lunch we've left coffee. Right? So at times we up to, sometimes I've had parkrun coffees that have gone for say, five hours, and you can talk a lot about parkrun in five hours, but at the same time, we all walk her away with a smile on our face. So, which is great."

Ray talks about being a musician, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "I don't play it because it's too hard for anyone in the audience that has suffered. You know, it, it deals with domestic violence. And a, a lady that worked for me in the early days told me her story, the next day I wrote her song and I wrote her story. And I always say to people, be careful what you tell me, because I can't help it. I might, you know, somehow inadvertently in a third person tell your story. And that song is powerful, but so much so that I don't wanna make people cry, you know, in just what I, and it's very subtle. It's. When I say powerful, it's subtle, but it says enough for, and I, I have seen people in audiences hang their heads during that song. So yeah, I just don't do that anymore. I like, I like to make people happy."

Barry talks about operating a radio station, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "We rely on fundraising. We have two or three raffles a year. And it's very satisfying when you're selling raffle tickets or people come oh, I love listening to you. I don't want a ticket, but here's $50. Now, you know, that's the sort of thing that, that's the feedback we need because, that, that doesn't naturally happen with, with radio as a broadcast format. I get a buzz out of that."

Don talks about being a missionary, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "This is all the things that I've learned about with it, and these are the things that I go and I teach people how they can lead. That none of us are gonna be perfect, let's face it mate, you know, none of us. But I can go and I can teach these people how they can live more of a sinless life. None of us are gonna make it to perfection. There's only one perfect, and that's Jesus."

Chris talks about being The Flying Painter, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "Oh it's like just a passion I always had since a young teenager. And now we can use this experience and the aircraft that we have to go out and quote where we can and fly into these places. And I'll also use it not just for business, but mainly for recreation because it's something I'm passionate about. And, yeah, I just love aviation in general."

Duncan talks about being a radio show host, what it takes, what it mens and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "The old expression practice makes perfect, is one that I've always said is incorrect. It's perfect practice makes perfect. Because if you keep practicing the mistakes over and over again and not learn from them, you know, it doesn't get you any better at all."
