The Sh*t Show: navigating uncertainty with courage

Send us Fan MailWe are in a time of great uncertainty. Multiple crises are getting our attention – from geopolitics to war to the climate emergency to mental health and more – so how do we develop the inner resilience to cope? How do we reinvent ourselves when the world around us feels so unstable? And what holds us back from speaking our truth authentically and powerfully? We are going to discuss this and a whole lot more, through the lens of a forthcoming book - The Red Silk Dress - with its central message of courage and adaptation.Of course, the news is never boring, and we expect to spend a significant chunk of time on the BBC crisis looking at it from every angle, the latest shenanigans in the US, updates from Cop30, as well as the extreme weather events around the world this week, which include a record-breaking cold snap in the US. We’re seeing terrorism back on the streets in India and Pakistan, war and ecocide is starting to get the attention it deserves, and we’ll cover whatever else happens between now and then.  We are absolutely delighted to welcome Natalie Turner as our special guest this week. Natalie is an international keynote speaker, innovation strategist, award-winning author, and inventor of The Six ‘I’s® of Innovation - a purpose-centred framework used worldwide to help people and organisations build cultures of creativity and change. Her mission is to awaken human creativity and lead change that matters. Natalie is the author of Yes, You Can Innovate (Pearson) and the forthcoming novel The Red Silk Dress, a sensual, emotionally charged story of longing, courage, and transformation set between Cambodia, Malaysia, and Paris. Her recent TEDx Talk in Marvila, Lisbon, explores Purpose-Centred Innovation and what it means to stay human in an age of disruption and AI.We are all looking forward to listening to Natalie, so do join us, and get caught up on the news while you’re at it, this Friday 14th November 2025, 7am UK, 8am EU, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 6pm 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. #TheShitShow #UncommonCourageYou can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
