All Access Pass to Life!

This is our 100th episode of Thriving Matters Podcast and our conversation today involves a camera, backpack and an incredible dose of curiosity!

Chris Ireland believes in an 'all access pass to life' and his story to date is one of resilience, creativity, grit and generosity - he is supercharged to learn about people and his camera provides the equipment he needs to share other peoples stories with a view to the future of humanity and community responsibility. 
Listen in as we talk about thriving in life, change and purpose underlined by deep family and social justice values.

Chris is most proud of his newly launched fine art business, Platina Editions (www.platinaeditions.com). Also, the completion of a ten year self funded photographic project called All Things Considered (www.atcexhibition.com.au)

We chat about some defining life and career moments including being mentored, having major back surgery, Erin's (partner) stroke and cathartic response to photograph the family during her recovery.

A fabulous conversation about rethinking our lifework balance, learning to adjust creatively and 'bringing the world in' so we can reimagine the joy in our life.

A key message: "See the good in people, and give more than you ask in return. We’ve all had a tough trot, but let’s come out better. Better humans, more connection, more focused on things that matter."

If you get an opportunity check out Chris's work and exhibitions - they are incredibly provocative and mindful at the same time.
