If you’re in a long-term relationship, chances are at some point you’ve at least explored ways that you can navigate things when you disagree.Because ultimately it’s not the good bits that keep us together, it’s the way we handle the difficult bits.The slightly handy part of an long-term intimate relationship is that when words fail you, there’s the stuff that you hear about in Marvin Gaye songs.But what if when you get that feeling you can’t access the sexual healing because you’re in a band and rule #1 of being in a band is don’t sleep with anyone in the band.Osher’s guest today is Phil Jamieson is the lead singer of Grinspoon, one of Australia’s greatest rock bands. True road warriors, they’re about to head out for a colossal adventure around the nation, in some places having to create venues, because the places they once played no longer exist.If you’ve never thought about what it takes to put a band on the road, and indeed keep a band together for as long as they’ve been together - this conversation will shed a lot of light on the realities of life as a member of a band which is truly a household name.Subscribe to the newsletter here: http://oshergunsberg.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

What do you get if you crush joy, dance, comedy and fashion in a hydraulic press? Visual Artist SMAC
Osher talks a lot about how important it is to be playful in your work, and how important it is to fully commit.Playful not as a way to faff about on the clock - but as a way to discover creative ways to solve problems, to be more productive and to keep a team engaged.And to fully commit as in “look if we’re going to do this, we’re going to pour everything into it, and let’s see what happens.”SMAC is an LA based dancer who grew up in SE QLD - while you may not recognise her name, but if I told you she’s also known as hydraulic press girl - you will know exactly who.
