Season 2, Ep 3: What’s our “why” as a country? (Part 2)

The reMAKERs

So, we’ve got this election. What would you do if you became PM for a day?

Join Lily and Millie for this and many other questions, as we talk about what reMAKERS really want for our country, and how we can start to reclaim our “why”. A great follow-up to our last episode, or enjoy as stand-alone chat.

Again, this is a fairly nerdy episode, but nerds are our people and we’re good with that. It covers politics, business, childcare, renewable energy, muffins, staffing ratios and more... Fundamentally, it’s a conversation about purpose.
