I'm calling today's guest, Nicol Sinclair, a 'philosopher' because I was struck, more than anything else, by how much this man absorbs information, thinks about it & then forms his own opinions on it. Exactly what we need in the age of AI!

This is true on SO MANY subjects - life, love, relationships, community, technology, feminism, marriage, kids, gender... which meant this chat was wide ranging and full of references to good stuff he's read, seen and heard. Have your notebook to the ready...

Honestly, if anyone every says to you 'men can't do emotion' or 'men aren't emotionally intelligent', send them this podcast link.

And, by the way, the 'chainsaw' reference comes in, not because he's some violent street serial killer !(!!), but because he works in forestry, and wielding a chainsaw was his childhood dream from 12. Also because it's his precious time in nature which is so fundamental to processing his thoughts and to his mental health.

Being a community podcast, this also covers his views on community which often stem from his (I'm gonna say it) idyllic, wholesome childhood where playing outside was the FOMO of the day. Expect lots of references to Top of the Pops, choppers and other such nostalgia.

I hope you enjoy getting to know Lorna as much as I did. Do say hello if you see her around; she loves nothing more than hearing a bit of Kincraig news :)
