It seems that in pursuit of what is deemed to be a ‘man’, many men are suffering, falling short and worse, being labelled ‘toxic’. What can we do to find and portray the positivity of masculinity?" JuVan...

This week we welcome to the Words With Oz Podcast Miss Penny Locaso. This conversation is close to one of the best we’ve had on this podcast. From business ideas and scaling, to education, through to happiness and anxiety, voted one of the most influential females in Australia, Penny has the ideas, experience and the determination to cover them all.
We asked Penny on the show because of the interest and traction she is having in the area of entrepreneurship and intentional change. An advocate for fear(less)ness she practices what she preaches and is on track to teach 10 million people, by 2025, how to intentionally adapt in order to future proof happiness.
Penny’s specific question was
“Rarely would the uninitiated associate fear with happiness. How do you use its antonym to show the world that intentional change is the future of our well-being, progress and inevitably… happiness?”
We speak about true human connection, the untapped resource of innovation, Penny’s trigger moment of change and much more inspirational content. Our Words With Oz Podcast community will come alive from this episode.
Enjoy the show.
