Episode 63: Lifelong learning + creating magic on camera with Julian Mather
Everywhere I look, every article I read, people are talking about video.
Have you noticed that?
And it’s true - if you post a native video onto LinkedIn, it actually gets 3 x as more views as regular content.
How did I find out about today’s guest? I was on the LinkedIn news feed and saw a guy, bringing out some incredible video content, some ‘how-to’s on how to use video effectively, and I discovered he lives in the same city as me, Brisbane.
When I did some more digging, I discovered this video guy, our guest today, Julian Mather had a simply extraordinary background and some incredible career pivots, seriously. I’ve never met anyone with such an interesting past.
If you think this podcast episode is only about videos, think again, there’s some insane life lessons that Julian weaves through his experiences and his stories, and on that alone, even if you’re unsure about video, is worth listening to. He also gives practical tools and insights into the future of work, and ideas on how to ensure we’re future-proof and employable. If you’re someone who has a facilitation business, it’s also nice to hear how long it took him to figure out his niche and his zone of genius… well, I certainly enjoyed him talking through the process.
About our guest: Julian Mather
Julian Mather is a career reinvention expert. It's not something he read about in a book. He earned his SMARTS by being an army sniper, a globe trotting TV cameraman, a magician, an online entrepreneur, a speaker/author … and he says, that he’s not finished yet.
He travelled the world getting a ringside view of life as a cameraman and after 20 years he had met so many VIP’s - very inspiring people - who were out there making a difference to the lives of others.
He’s achieved an awesome lot and is a maser of the career pivot, and was a fascinating bloke to interview.
