War & Peace, Warhammer & A Lifelong Love of Learning with Richard Lyons

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.
