BUDGE Podcast

BUDGE 'How to fudge being human’ is brought to you by Dr Darren Coppin, a behavioural scientist, researcher, speaker and writer, and Paul Miles, Managing Director of one of the largest Employment, Education and Training organisations in Australia, The two met through a mutual friend when, after Paul rejected Darren’s advances (twice), they finally sat down in a dire subterranean coffee shop in Sydney, only because they had some time to kill between meetings. Nevertheless, once the initial frostiness and aloofness subsided, the conversation flowed and an astounding new friendship (that we suspect will one day be useful for ambitious lyricists to take inspiration from - ‘why do birds suddenly appear?’), began. Since then the friendship has blossomed and the two have enjoyed a seismic meeting of minds intent on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, responsible and feasible for people who want to fudge being human. These things are too important to lazily deploy misguided conventional wisdom and hunches. In their own words, “We scour the best of business practice and academic literature to do our best by the managers, job seekers, policy-makers and students that we serve.” And Budge was born!
