Episode notes

First of all, congratulations and thanks in order to Elissa Jewell for not only being a fantastic co-host in yesterday's cross-disciplinary Q & A style chat here - but also for officially being our first-ever Member (a Riff Nerd) on our brand new Patreon site!

Elissa and I previously spoke at her old leased space in Preston in 2023.

We now return for another intense, thorough and fun conversation within the walls of her recently setup private gym space in Melbourne!

We touch base on quite a lot of intersecting professional/lived-experience thoughts/issues - from music culture, metal culture and neurodivergence, to mental health, strength training/programming and nutrition.

Now, you'll notice towards the end there's a bit of a sudden cutoff - we talked so long that the battery died! Stay tuned though, as I also have an announcement about Part 2, which will be exclusive to Riff Nerds over at Patreon.
