Coffee Talks
By Thom Dwyer
Who doesn't love coffee? I find I have some of my most influential and important conversations over coffee in cafes, at home or wherever I find myself drinking coffee.
So I thought what if these conversations were recorded and became a window into the life I live as a creataive and also the people I have conversations with over coffee.

You'll know Josh most likely from his Bachie recaps on social media, or perhaps his Chocolate milk devouring video, maybe you saw him on sunrise dancing in the background or throwing things into precise locations, either way, Hijosh is fairly well known throughout the social media platform across Australia.
In this episode, I sit down and chat with Josh over coffee about how he gets his ideas, where it all comes from, but also we touch base on the serious side of reality TV and the places his platform has put him to a point of friendship with contestants and realising his weight on social media.
As always please check out Josh's platforma where you can find all his hilarious videos and every that goes with it.

011 Robbie Mortimer; Finding your Voice and Style as a Musician
www.thomdwyer.com

www.robbiemortimer.com
In this podcast, I sit down with Robbie Mortimer to talk about his journey as a musician. Robbie has a family with some pretty big sporting achievements, his father, uncle and Brother all playing football to quite a high level of playing, so I wanted to know whether there was any pressure to pursue football in the same way? We talk about how he pursued football for a while and even moved to Brisbane for it, but it was his love of music that always got the best end.
We talk about trying to find his genre and voice as a musician and travelling the world for music plus playing in country towns on the stage opening for the Beach Boys and the Temptations.
If you want to support my podcast and help me keep it advertisement free forever, I'd appreciate if you checked out my Patreon and had a look into some added benefits you can get for supporting me.

Aaron also dives into balancing family life and work life. How having two kids and a wife works alongside what was primarily after hours teaching. But also how they as a family travel the world and manage to experience that as a family.

002 - Eric Floberg; Getting Started as a Photographer
Episode 002 was recorded on the road, I was travelling to Canada to shoot a wedding and on a total whim, shot a DM via Instagram to Eric Floberg, (by this point I hadn't even started anything for the podcast it was just an idea in my head, I had only one Microphone) of course he said yes which meant I needed to get things sorted including flights, hotels and travel dates to Chicago.
I touched down in Chicago after travelling between three major Cities in Canada and the US, and the next day recorded this episode with Eric in his creative space, Creative Club Chicago.
Eric is a Photographer, Filmmaker, Youtuber and Entrepreneur. We talked about a whole range of things, from shooting street photography and how to be comfortable, how he worked with Youtube stars Mango Street, and how his photography business kicked off and the struggles that come with being a sought-after wedding photographer and balancing family life.
I hope you enjoy this episode and if you like Coffee Talks subscribe!
