This one's close to home for me because I used to head up the production team for this exact organisation and community!

Jon Yeo has held the TEDxMelbourne licence for almost two decades, curating some of the most talked about independent TED events in the world. He's spent his career studying why ideas connect and why some conversations simply stop us in our tracks.

In this episode, we go behind the curtain of TEDxMelbourne's upcoming event, All Analogue, how the theme came together, how speakers are chosen, and why he believes the world is moving toward smaller, more intentional experiences instead of chasing scale. We also dig into communication as a skill, not a talent, and why clarity is the one thing most people get wrong.

If you're someone who's always wanted to understand what really makes an idea worth sharing, this episode will stay with you.
