EP018 - Give It a Crack: Theatre, Politics and Changing Your Life

Darren has been a teacher, theatre director, counsellor, three-time mayor and now CEO of the Gippsland Climate Change Network. He also talked so much in school they gave him his own desk, which feels less like a punishment now and more like early career development.In this conversation, we talk about leaving the safe path, taking risks, theatre, politics, climate change, community work, and why change takes more than sitting on the sidelines. We also talk about listening to people you disagree with, finding the third way, looking after yourself when things get hard and why getting older might be better than people think.
