  Ep 177. Neel Kolhatkar - The Art of Comedy in the DEI Era

  Aug 24, 202644 min

  Neel Kolhatkar is an Australian comedian, writer and content creator known for his cultural observations, political satire and willingness to say the things most people are too scared to touch. After building a massive online following through viral sketches, Neel has gone on to tour nationally, self-produce his own specials and build a comedy career largely outside the traditional industry mould. In a comedy landscape that feels more restricted than it once was, where the safest voices are often rewarded over the funniest ones, Neel has carved out a lane by staying sharp, independent and unafraid to make people uncomfortable. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Neel Kolhatkar to unpack whether comedy can still be honest in an industry increasingly shaped by politics and self-censorship. Expect to learn what actually goes into writing a comedy bit and how to know if it is genuinely funny, how to tell an edgy joke without coming across like an asshole, whether free speech is essential for great comedy, how DEI and victimhood culture are shaping the Australian comedy scene, why Neel has chosen to remain independent rather than play the industry game, and much more!

  Kirk Peterson is a leadership and high-performance coach with more than 30 years of experience across business and sport.

His work is especially valuable for young people trying to build a career, lead themselves properly, and become the type of person others genuinely want to work with. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Kirk to explore why so many young people feel lost in the workplace, and what practical steps can actually help them build momentum in their careers. Expect to learn how to actually identify your strengths and capitalise on them, why you may not be as emotionally intelligent as you think you are, what managers are really looking for when they give feedback, why working from home might quietly be holding your career back, whether Gen Z genuinely lacks resilience or whether the workplace is failing to develop it, how to deal with a toxic leader without completely losing your mind, why getting promoted is often far simpler than people make it, and much more!

  Ep 175. Tom Howard - How To Build Your Dream Business at 21

  Aug 10, 202643 min

  Tom Howard is the owner of Extract Fitness, a young entrepreneur who decided to back himself early and build something of his own while still pursuing high-level footy. At an age where most people are still figuring out their next move, Tom has taken on the pressure of running a business, leading others, and continuing to push himself as an athlete. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Tom Howard to unpack the self-belief required to build something of your own before most people even know what they want. Expect to learn whether starting a business at such a young age forces you to grow up quicker, what lessons from high-level footy have carried over into running Extract Fitness, whether chasing two demanding goals at once makes it harder to master either, what separated Tom from other young people who talk about starting a business but never do, how to figure out what you want to pursue even when you are not completely certain, what a realistic routine looks like for someone with big ambitions, whether discipline is something you are born with or something you can build, and much more!

  Ep 174. Are You Boring?

  Aug 3, 202629 min

  Ever had a conversation with someone who feels less like a person and more like an AI-written corporate bio? Despite both of you trying to make conversation, it still feels like the most painfully stereotypical small talk, and you cannot help thinking, “Gee, that person is vanilla.” Join Big Bros hosts Jeremy and Ilan, as they unpack why so many conversations feel like they are with boring people, and why more people need to stop playing it safe and let their real personality show. Expect to learn how to own your insecurities, how to master small talk conversation, the conversation pointers you are probably missing out on, how to let your personality shine without worrying you’ll seem “too much,” why you should express your opinions more often, and much more.
