BRIGGS JOINS JACK RIVER FOR EPISODE 4 OF <em>TO REBEL IN THE TIMES </em>
"My whole motto was always 'do simple things great and let the big things work themselves out'. So that was always my plan. Just do small things amazing, make small things amazing. Just start by changing little things in people's lives." - Briggs
Jack River's To Rebel In The Times podcast today marks its halfway point with the launch of Episode 4 which sees the incredible Briggs dial in from his car in his hometown of Shepparton - in true lockdown style.
With a seriously impressive resume, a day in the life of Briggs might consist of writing and creating for his own musical projects, the running his music label Bad Apples, writing comedy scripts and best-selling children's books, hosting global radio shows, acting or creating platforms and support systems for young indigenous artists.
During his conversation with Jack River on this week's episode of To Rebel In The Times, we learn how Briggs has brought about change within his community and industry by starting small and staying determined. It's a discussion filled with inspiration from a man that never gives up! Listen here now.
Last week on Episode 3, the wonderful Kita Alexander took to the the mic for a beautifully honest conversation about motherhood in the music industry. Listen to Episode 3 here where Jack River and Kita Alexander discuss a call for more mothers and females in executive positions within the industry to allow for a broader perspective.
Kita Alexander and Jack River took the conversation even further over the weekend when they went live during the virtual festival Russh Weekend. You can watch the follow-up chat here.
Episode 3 has so far also piqued the interest of Turia Pitt and Bridget Hustwaite who both shared their admiration and support for the discussion on their respective Instagram accounts with Bridget stating, "Definitely the conversation I hope will spark industry people to reach out to their artists and ask how they can better fit their life into their music," and Turia expressing that she genuinely loved the intimate conversation.
