Ben Pronk, DSC & Tim Curtis

Two ex-special operations guys armed with MBAs seek out people leading lives less ordinary, in order to find out how they fill their ‘unforgiving minutes’, and what helps them go, always, a little further. Like intellectual bowerbirds, we collect shiny little objects of knowledge that will help build better humans. Co-hosted by Ben Pronk and Tim Curtis.

Diana Nguyen is Chasing Keanu Reeves. She is a Vietnamese- Australian comedian and actor she has featured in many comedy festivals, TED talks and television. But its far deeper than that.

We talk comedy, gender and ethnicity, sex and intergenerational

We first saw Mitchell at a music festival and followed his gigs over the next three days. We watched him carefully (not creepy- just like SAS guys do when in an observation post!). And found that this incredibly talented guy and his band were super humble. Not very rock star! But in this interview … we talk
