Uncommon Courage
Welcome to Uncommon Courage, the podcast, where we’ll be having the conversations we need to be having as members of the human collective. We are all being called upon to step up and lead – with kindness, big hearts and unshakable courage – because right now, we have an opportunity to redress what we got wrong in the past, as well as deal with the disruptions we face today, to create a better world for all.
However, if we are completely truthful, the biggest challenge we face is believing we can do it – believing in our ability to create massive change. But everyone knows you can’t achieve anything significant without guts, determination, and of course, the courage to keep driving towards the goal, regardless of how hard the journey is!
Uncommon Courage will feature global conversations determined to contribute to creating a better future for all life on earth. Ideas, solutions, arguments and laughs - it’ll all be part of the journey. It is time for that which is uncommon to become common.

The Sh*t Show: is AI coming for your job?
Is AI a risk to you? Has it already impacted you? Or are you hoping it will just go away? One thing is certain, AI is here to stay and what it means to all of us is something we need to get our heads around, so we can prepare. Whether you’re a university graduate looking for a shrinking number of jobs, or a senior leader, AI is going to change your work, one way or another. So, what does that look like?
Of course, we’re not just going to cover AI – that will be the focus of the first hour – we’re also going to dig into the news that is circulating around the world this week. From the GenZ protests in Nepal and what that means through a wider lens, to the latest climate reports, including the release of “Science Under Siege” by Dr’s Michael Mann and Peter J Hotez, the Epstein files and that nasty birthday book, France’s political upheaval again, Israel’s bombing in Qatar and on it goes. We are not living in dull times, that’s for sure.
We are delighted to welcome Andrew Milroy to join us this week. Andy is a deeply experienced technology analyst, who’s covered cybersecurity, cloud and data strategy, and more prominently in these times, he’s an AI and digital risk advisor, through his company @Veqtor8. Andy really is one of the world’s most experienced technology industry analysts, with a leadership track record spanning the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific. His focus today is on helping executives simplify complexity and position cybersecurity, cloud, and AI not just as risks to manage, but as drivers of business value. We’re excited to hear what he has to say.
Come and join us, get caught up, this Friday 12th September 2025, 8am UK, 9am EU, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we’d love your support.
The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world’s most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show.
