The Subject Object Market will run 10am - 2pm AEDT Saturday 6th December at the Warrandyte Mechanics Institute, Cnr Yarra St and Mitchell Av, Warrandyte. 

In this episode, Fiona shares why she is returning to more human, real world connection in her business and how creating a small local market has reminded her of the value of community, creativity and presence alongside AI. She talks through the stallholders, the process, the stretch, and why doing something in person can shift so much in both work and life.

Listeners will learn:
• Why in-person connection still matters in an AI-driven business
• How community and place can shape business decisions
• What Fiona discovered while organising her first collaborative market
• Why stretching yourself publicly can build confidence and creativity
• The value of experimenting, embracing imperfection and doing things offline
