Our guest in this episode of Moments of Clarity is Josie Gibson.

Josie is co-founder and director of The Catalyst Network, a membership community of accomplished changemakers and a mentorship program for graduates and creative entrepreneurs. She is also the founder and director of CatalystFX, which she created to address the urgent need for different thinking and responses to complex business, social, and environmental issues.

Josie is active in national and international initiatives exploring new work, community and economic models. She is an advisor with multiple leading organisations in different industries and is also a Senior Industry Fellow at FORWARD, RMIT's new Centre for Future Skills and Workforce Transformation.

Josie's incredibly rich professional history is matched by her personal life and experiences which we discuss today.

In today's episode we talk about the expectations of a working-class Irish Catholic family, a trip to Japan, a man named Ed, individualism vs collectivism, the need for mutual contribution and respect, reciprocity, connection, urbanisation and Richard Florida, networks, self-organisation vs hierarchy and a moment of clarity.
