Talks that Transform

Like a book club… but for talks

UPCOMING SESSIONS 
Put words into practice

Big ideas,
Small changes,
Real impact

Real Talks brings you remarkable speakers, unexpected conversations… and a community that actually does something about what it learns.

Join the list to hear about upcoming sessions.

The problem

You know more than ever... But nothing changes.

Sound familiar?

We are more connected, more stimulated, and more entertained than any generation before us.

And yet the change that feels genuinely alive keeps not quite arriving. Real Talks is designed to fix that – a community that puts ideas into practice.

90%

of new information forgotten within a week unless you actively do something with it.

1 in 3

adults report feeling intellectually unstimulated in their daily lives.

6 hrs

average daily digital consumption. Most people can't name three things that changed because of it.

How it works

The secret to real change.

Most events end when the speaker stops talking. Ours are just getting started.

  • Big Talk

    Sunday

    A remarkable speaker joins us live to present on a topic we don’t expect. They speak, we ask questions. And they leave us with something specific to do before Thursday.

  • Walk the Talk

    Monday → Wednesday

    A meditation, a stretch, a new way of talking... Whatever it is, we all go away and actually try the idea. No hand-holding. Just you, the practice, and a few days to find out what it means in the real world.

  • Small Talk

    Thursday (Full members only)

    The group comes back. What happened? What shifted? This is where most things actually land and where Real Talks earns its name.

This is what it feels like.

Sunday. A speaker somewhere unexpected. A question that makes you sit up. A room full of people who actually showed up.

Thursday arrives. Things have shifted. The conversation picks up exactly where real life interrupted it.

The speakers

The most interesting people are rarely the most famous.

We don't book the influencers. We book the interesting. Authors who've spent a decade on one idea. Researchers whose findings haven't made it out of the journal yet.

No niche. No agenda. And nothing to sell. A deliberate lucky dip the speaker you didn't know to look for, on the subject you didn't know you needed.

Psychology

Creativity

Nature

Neuroscience

Meaning

Language

Philosophy

Relationships

Sex & intimacy

Power

Spirituality

They come from everywhere.

  • Authors & writers

  • Researchers & academics

  • Philosophers & ethicists

  • Therapists & practitioners

  • Business leaders

  • Artists & makers

  • Scientists & naturalists

The most interesting part of your week is waiting.

The origin

This started with a frustration.

I kept waiting for something that would make my week feel more alive. Not busier, more alive. Something that would give me interesting people to think with, not just interesting things to think about.

I wanted somewhere that didn't let me off the hook. A community of people who weren't satisfied with passive inspiration who wanted to actually shift something in themselves.

It turns out other people are looking for something similar too.

Real Talks is small and intentional. It will never be scaled into something unrecognisable. Just curious people, remarkable speakers, and a fresh perspective each week.
