Pictures That Matter and a Family Business Legacy with Atkins Photo Lab - #08

Better Loud Than Too Late with Genevra

02/01/24 • 67 min

I interviewed Paul Atkins who runs Atkins Photo Lab in Adelaide - Australia's oldest print lab! We spoke about the importance of the physical print, nostalgia, re-branding in business (with design-led innovation), finding your people, wedding photography, and the highs and lows of carrying on a family business.
"I'm terrible at change. It's my biggest problem... so for me to survive that is to trust people who are better at change and to let them do their thing... and then to help them, and to still be the person that they can turn to, and be carrying the load of nostalgia with them..."

Solo: Anxiety as a Messaging System and Self Soothing - #03

Better Loud Than Too Late with Genevra

01/25/23 • 30 min

I talk about anxiety, its positive sides (including advocacy for change) and how there can be a real comfort and power in sharing. I use examples from my recent trip to Melbourne where I travelled to see Billy Joel in concert.
Books that I found helpful in relation to anxiety are:
You Can Heal Your Life by Louse Hay, The Wisdom of Anxiety by Sheryl Paul and Letting Go by David R Hawkins.
One of my favourite mantras by Louise Hay: All is well, everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good will come. I am safe.

Solo: The Story You Tell Yourself Has So Much Power - #01

Better Loud Than Too Late with Genevra

10/04/22 • 22 min

Hi, I'm Genevra. I'm an aspiring novelist, photographer, and the author of the Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) book, Picture in a Frame. In this first episode, I talk about my personal story and why I started the podcast. I delve into my life-long struggle with my identity, people-pleasing tendency, single parenting, and the decisions I made when I lacked the inspiration and drive to create. I believe your problems are your gifts, and that's why I decided to share a mortifying story from my childhood - The Day of the Black Box - which I have never talked about publicly before. I also mention my tribute to the band, Pearl Jam, and its connection to the podcast.

Author and Entrepreneur Edmond Abramyan on Getting Wired For Success - #04

Better Loud Than Too Late with Genevra

04/11/23 • 47 min

I interviewed my wise friend, Edmond Abramyan, who is an author, entrepreneur and mentor/coach. We spoke about his new book--Wired for Success, the writing and publishing process, his coaching style, martial arts, identity, self discovery and a first step towards demystifying money.
“If I’m this thing—separate from my thoughts—that’s watching my thoughts, what part of me is it that’s aware of me watching my thoughts? In other words, who’s observing the observer, who observes himself watching over his own thoughts. And how far back did this go? How many observers are there? And which one am I really?”
