In this heartfelt solo episode, Tom shares a raw and uncut update on the Wasteless World journey, why the podcast paused for over four months, and an empowering revelation about the role of AI in our creative future.

This episode dives into:

• The Pause & The Pivot – Why life, priorities, and the rising cost of living in Australia led to a break from podcasting.

• The AI Revelation – Why Tom believes AI isn’t replacing us but instead giving us permission to be human again. Imperfection, flaws, and authenticity are where true connection lies.

• Wasteless World Updates – A sneak peek at our new website, built with the help of our amazing volunteer team, designed to turn awareness into action.

• Lionfish Project Rebrand – Introducing Pez León: transforming invasive lionfish into sustainable jewelry, supporting indigenous fishers and ecosystems, and expanding into markets locally and globally.

• Personal Milestones – Life beyond the mission: wedding plans, family goals, and striving for balance while rebuilding after setbacks.

💚 If you’ve ever wondered how to stay authentic in a world flooded with AI content, or you want to hear about the next steps for Wasteless World and Pez León, this episode is for you.
