This whole piece of connecting people networking, helping people go see and learn from each other?Victor: Be bold. Be prepared to have a go. Get outside of your comfort zone. Go to a conference, go to an event, introduce yourself to people, find out what's going on. So that's probably my tip.Brad: Yeah, nice.Victor: There's always someone out there doing interesting things, believe it or not. There's never a dull moment in your day if you go and talk to people, even on your holidays, or through work. It doesn't matter. There's always someone with a better approach or a better idea. But you've got to go and seek it. It just doesn't happen by itself. And nine times out of 10 people are really willing to talk and share about what they're doing. So that's what I find.  Even someone like yourself, I think you're doing a fantastic job with all of us. Brad: Thanks, Victor. Really appreciate it.         Victor: That's a serious comment. Brad: Yeah, well, I've learned from the best mate. Victor: I'm halfway through Jeff Sutherland's book on Agile and Scrum and thoroughly enjoying it. I enjoyed your presentation with him. He's a real practitioner and he's got the runs on the board. So again, it's a learning opportunity of just finding out what else is happening in the world.Brad: Yeah, I like Jeff too Victor, because he's... You know, the stuff that he's done is insane. But he does not tell people to just take what he does and apply it. He says create your own way, you know, learn from it, and create your own playbook. And I respect that.Victor: Well, that's what it is. Create your own playbook. Links Brad is proud to support many Australian businesses. You can find him on LinkedIn here.
