Too often, we avoid real conversations. Entrepreneur Mark Bouris sits down and gets to know people, understands what makes them tick, and shares the great and unusual things they’re doing. There’s no sugar coating. There’s no hiding behind fancy marketing slogans. Just an honest conversation.

Loved the interview with Kos, Mark this one absolutely blew my mind and broke paradigms for me. It’s opened my mind to things I didn’t know I didn’t know about our current political landscape. Well done.
Just listened to the latest podcast. Why shouldn’t Ben Roberts Smith be charged with war crimes if there is cause? It also sounds like we are starting to blame governments for everything. Oil companies close refineries, not governments. Sure they can subsidise to put off the inevitable, but hasn’t our experience with automakers just show it’s a lost cause
Love the show and look forward to listening to new episodes. Always good to listen to different views to understand how others think but was surprised by suggestion during James Glissen episode that incumbent government should seek inputs from the electorate before deciding on new legislation.

I just finished listening to Bob Katter.
Last week I listened to him on Karl Stefanovic’s pod cast, as it was a shorter interview and I had less time.
I’m a Karl fan, but Mark’s chat, which was maybe half hour longer, was so much more informative. Bob seemed very comfortable to sit and chat and I found him really interesting and enjoyed listening to his stories.
I listen to almost all of straight talk, sometimes not if too many boxers and ufc, and this was really good to listen to.
Recently added this podcast to my rotation and really loving it. Listened to the Bob Katter and ex CIA episodes today and found them fascinating. I’d love to see Mark Bouris run for PM
