I stumbled on an artist, completely by chance, and fell in love with his art. After researching and discovering that he was in fact an accomplished Australian artist, I decided to reach out and see if he'd take the Five of My Life challenge. Lucky for us all he accepted.

Every day is a fresh beginning;Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,And, spite of old sorrow and older sinning,And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,Take heart with the day, and begin again.

#113 Sneak Peak: Frances Fitzgerald

One of my favourite traditions on Five of My Life is the 'sixth question'. This is when, at the end of every interview, I ask my guests who they want to hear take the Five of My Life Challenge next.  As this 'sneak peak' into next week's episode explains, it's how the 'Sixers Club' came to be, and brings a beautiful connectedness to the whole exercise - NigelSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#112 Five Of the Best - Founders

I've always admired people who create something new and meaningful from nothing. Particularly, when their creation is something that makes society better.  It takes courage, vision and incredible tenacity to overcome the naysayers and inevitable obstacles. In this special 'Founders' compilation episode I talk to Andrew Penfold, David Handley, Zara Siedler, Ronni Kahn and William Sieghart - five remarkable people who have each successfully founded projects that have made a lasting and meaningful contribution to the world - Nigel
