Connection to First Nations communities across the globe

Jack Collard went from being raised in the country, to advocating for First Nations rights at the United Nations. He is the product of two-way learning, navigating academic space and cultural space. Travelling to Indonesia to study International Relations taught Jack about a different measure for happiness, and to value culture and connection over material wealth.

Join Brooke and Jack as they go deep in this wide ranging and philosophical chat discussing self care, the strength of a global First Nations community, and the importance of language, and patience.

It's the story we tell ourselves about who we are and where we fit and where that purpose is. And so my journey has been a journey in me, trying to connect deeper.
