In the few weeks leading up to having Kaia I spent almost all my time writing a series of features on how $CSL went from the ugly duckling of the privatisation era to the biotech giant it is today. Part one is out today: afr.com/companies/heal…

I don’t post on X much these days, but this was worth a mention. Up on this week’s How I Made It podcast is my chat with @ROKT CEO Bruce Buchanan. As a teenager, he paid his own way through his final years of high school while sleeping on a friend’s floor: afr.com/technology/rok…

@claudedwalker I wondered that too. My daughter coming home with horrific nappy rush one day was the last straw for me - I never sent her back.

Horrifying. After a month of constant red flags at a childcare owned by this same PE company, we changed centres and it was the best decision we could have made. Parents, trust your gut. #Echobox=1747256827" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theage.com.au/national/frank…

Awesome to meet the young Aussie everyone is talking about on the eve of his hometown race! Oscar Piastri on the secret of his $41m-a year success: afr.com/companies/spor…

Honoured to be featured in the AFR alongside some incredible women who are shaping the investment landscape in family offices. A huge thank you to @YolandaRedrup and @FinancialReview for highlighting the diverse paths that lead to investing and venture. afr.com/wealth/investi…

@GeoffWilsonWAM Haha thanks Geoff! It was pretty alarming!

@YolandaRedrup Definitely get it checked Yolanda. We need to be able to call you

Anyone else finding their iPhone 16 overheats for no reason?! Surely a phone shouldn’t get so hot it’s difficult to hold.

1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital. Here's Jane & me in happier times.

@jendudley Exactly right, I think it both aids and hinders me in some things. Tetris, I think, I’m pretty okay with… I haven’t played against someone who can visualise though to know 😂

@YolandaRedrup It sounds like you have a superpower and a challenge and I find it so interesting. Side note: is Tetris extra tough?

This story is so fascinating. Ironically, I can’t imagine being unable to visualise things in my head.

This was a particularly enjoyable piece to write. Loved delving into the neuroscience of aphantasia: afr.com/life-and-luxur…

This beauty is out today, so go get yourselves a copy! Filled with inspiring, raw and insightful stories and beautiful photography and illustrations.

A developer for e-commerce entrepreneurs, co-founders taking their technology to the moon and a retailer shaping what women wear to work are among the 17 fresh faces on this year's @FinancialReview Young Rich List: afr.com/young-rich/mee…

Really proud of this one. Give it a read when you get a chance today - thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to me for it including @thelazyceo and @_Timdoyle: afr.com/wealth/people/…

@julius_sky @bigyahu They’re certainly hoping to keep the business alive. Acquisition is one path, finding a new investor is another. Definitely still hope!

Bugger. Good startup trying to do important things. I think lack of diversity in Australian VC is a problem. By the time you select for stage and sector there are only 1-3 funds that are a match for your startup. Insufficient competitive pressure.

Drone start-up Swoop Aero hit turbulence when the tech market turned and investors started wanting it to get its drones to market faster to generate revenue quicker. Now, it's been placed in administration: afr.com/technology/dro…

@trawg @NickyWill100 @sampendu @willjharrison Amazing, I’ll get in touch 🙏

In 2020 I realised I had aphantasia when that meme about imagining a red apple went viral... thinking of writing a piece on it since so many people still haven't heard of it. Anyone else in my orbit also have it?! Would love to hear about your experiences...

@ChrisChowShow That’s the one! I had gone my whole life not knowing other people could actually visualise things in their minds.

@YolandaRedrup Had to google aphantasia and found the meme
