War & Peace, Warhammer & A Lifelong Love of Learning with Richard Lyons
Description
In this episode, we get to know Richard Lyons, who recently joined the team after completing his Bachelor's degrees in Accounting and Law, a journey he began in the early 2000s before taking a long hiatus working in hospitality.
They explore what it means to have a lifelong thirst for knowledge, the instinct to constantly ask “why?”, and how platforms like audiobooks and YouTube have become powerful tools for self-education. Richard and Shane also defend the supposedly “dry” careers of Accounting and Law, reframing the work as complex, engaging problem-solving in action.
From Roman aqueducts to the origins of the English language, and even how Australia’s Commonwealth foundations may have shaped a very different political path to America, this episode is packed with insight, curiosity, and plenty of fascinating trivia.
