An engine for ambitious collaboration, in service of Melbourne.


In this Wonderspace Podcast we orbit over Melbourne in Australia which is the home to our guest Kaj Lofgren.

He is also the Director of Labs at Small Giants Academy where he co-created the Mastery of Business and Empathy and Impact Safari.

#146 - Dan Fox (Light Phone) [S13:E1]

For our first Wonderspace orbit of 2025, we welcome clown, comedian, actor, and writer Dan Fox from Brooklyn, New York. Beyond his work as a performer, Dan is part of the team at The Light Phone, a minimalist phone company on a mission to give us back our time and attention.


💬 “I decided from that point, to use comedy in service of a message instead of in service to my ego, especially because so much of what people do online is not about creating art or self reflection, it’s about creating content to feed an algorithm, and that for me does not have any nutritional value.  In fact it does the opposite, it feeds addiction to dopamine and getting likes.  I wanted no part of that and wanted to run in the opposite direction and ask people to take a solid look at their relationship with smart phones and social media because ultimately our lives are being manipulated by big tech algorithms that are created to sell ads."


Dan brilliantly and entertainingly engages with our six questions that focus on wonder and hopeful stories but will also make you think about your relationship with your smart phone.

I often find a way to use creativity to go into a situation like that and like turn the soil and see what's needed”.

Jacq is currently an Associate with the Finance Innovation Lab and has recently worked with clients such as Natwest Bank, Partners for a New Economy and A Blueprint for Better Business.

And crucially, ‘What's mine to do in systems change?' I've gathered so many answers since that time, one of the answers being systems change is actually deeply personal. It's not just about the outward change."

#130 - Dr Julian Abel (Compassionate Communities UK) [S11:E3]

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast we ask our six questions to Dr Julian Abel. Julian is a retired palliative care physician and the Director of Compassionate Communities UK whose vision is to see a world where people's natural gifts of compassion, togetherness and equity are more powerful than medicine alone. Julian hosts a podcast called Survival of the Kindest and was nominated by a previous guest on Wonderspace Jennifer Nadel from Compassion in Politics.
“Good social relationships are more effective at stopping us dying than giving up smoking, drinking, diet, exercise and anything else you care to mention.”
