I wonder how much of that isolationist relates back to that purpose or identity or ego.

I used to come home from school and I'd had arranged at school to go by to a friend's house to hear the new Led Zeppelin album or the new Skyhooks album.
Craig BloxhamGUEST

Or kids would bring it to school, the album, or you'd bring your album to school and tell people, careful, careful, you'd be really careful with it because you didn't want the album to fall out and stuff.

Steve MorrisHOST
16:33
So then you've recorded the album, and then how does that get from being an album that's been recorded in a studio to where people like me first became aware of it, which is via a film clip on a Sunday afternoon evening compulsory viewing TV show in Australia?
Ken FrancisPANELIST

The set was an absolute killer, and that set is basically what is going to be that debut album.

I think we need to make sure that in school, you know, every kid is having to do a bit of a business plan when they're in year nine or year 10 and they're learning basics of financial literacy about interest rates and borrowing money and saving and expenses and that they learn what profit is.
Bill LangGUEST
48:45
And in my world, as I know it is in yours, Mike, we say, look, rather than like, you know, I think Skyhooks used to say, ego is not a dirty word.

Bill LangGUEST

You know, I look at profit as people realizing opportunities for improving tomorrow.
