In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Alex Babauskis.

Alex takes us through his fascinating journey, from growing up in Melbourne as the son of Latvian immigrants who arrived after WWII, to entering the world of computers and software in the late 1960s. He later founded the highly successful software company Human Edge, thriving through the rise of the information age.

Today, Alex is the founder and Director of uGroop, an innovative startup developing travel itinerary software designed for individuals and groups.

Join us as Alex shares how he’s navigated decades of technological change and continues to innovate in the ever-evolving digital world. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, we're joined by Scott Eggenton, the founder of Southern Skies Aikido. Scott holds a 5th-degree black belt and has dedicated the past 30 years to practicing and teaching Aikido. In this conversation, he shares more of his personal journey, from how he began Aikido to how he applied its principles in a professional security environment in Melbourne. Once Aikido is taken out of the dojo and into real-world situations, many important considerations come into play—where safety, preparation, legal boundaries, the consequences of actions, and ethical decision-making are crucial. These considerations aren’t just for martial artists; they can also serve as a framework to help us better navigate daily life. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, I'm joined by my incredible partner, Ellen Babauskis, as we share our transformative experience participating in our first Ayahuasca ceremony.

Ayahuasca is a powerful psychedelic plant medicine that expands consciousness beyond the five-sensory reality. It has the potential to reveal truths about the past, present, and future, enabling deep healing, clarity, and the beginning of a new transformation.

Our intention is to capture and describe our personal journey. Knowing that each Ayahuasca experience is deeply unique and varies widely, we hope that by sharing our insights, challenges, and realisations, we can contribute to the growing body of knowledge around plant medicine for those who may find it helpful on their own path. Thank you for listening.
