Moving on into media. I have sold cars for 2 yrs as well as studying a master of communication - I want to write, tell stories, do interviews and explore the world. Chasing the dream.

the Mamba Mentality: 24/8

the Mamba Mentality: 24/8

It is so hard to comprehend the passing of Kobe Bryant. I never knew him, never met the man, yet, the news shattered me, just like the rest of the world. 

What is more incomprehensible is how it happened; with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna “Gigi”, being a dad, taking his daughter and seven other souls to a basketball game. He died being a father, a teacher, a coach, a friend, a baller, all…

"Truth": Ethics, Law & Public Interest

Case Study: The Teacher’s Pet Podcast by Luke D’Emanuele

What is ‘right’ ,versus what is ‘good’ ?

(Couldry, 2013, p. 44) 

The definition of professional communicators has evolved with the Internet’s global platform, technological advancement in hardware and software, aligned with the somewhat public reliance, bordering obsession, of interaction within the web 2.0 framework, splitting…

The digital eavesdropping phenomenon

The digital eavesdropping phenomenon

With my digital surveillance exploration my attention became fixated with the phenomenon of smartphones eavesdropping to produce online sponsored advertisement. It is certain that I have not been the only person to experience this eerie, yet fascinating, phenomenon. My brief exploration prompt the development of this blog post, podcast and video. Disappointingly, the topic is extremely complex to…

2020 = 1st Non-fiction Book

2020 = 1st Non-fiction Book

At the end of 2019, I began writing some ideas. It was a flow of thoughts, and ways to piece together the inward journey I have been on for the past decade. It is from this I have decided to continue with these notes to form my first non-fiction book, about habit, identity and a new way of thinking.

On heading into 2020,I have brainstormed and plan out the rest of the book. There is…

An Email Connect

It could be said email is the death of the beginning of long story format shared between friends and loved one. By the time I left high school, email was in full swing. As my journey took me around the world in my early twenty’s I kept in close contact with new friends and old all through email. Email’s introduced the beginning of the quick response, shorten communication that eventually opens…

I have started a portfolio of my academic & professional writing. • I am using the platform (in bio) to pivot my career. • I will be attempting to post every other day with topics including reflections on books, insight into parenthood and study, as well as tips on mindfulness and personal growth. • I am far from an expect in any area really - more of a “jack-of-all”. • But this is enjoyable. • And we should all do more things that fulfil us. • ✌️ www.lukedemanuele.com (at Geelong, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5jsNkMH8Y9BS_xUZU4dCF4YcjmAtF0JvVTyhA0/?igshid=14bjh8f9srfer

There is a lot of sacrifice on the journey to becoming someone meaningful. I am not identifying the word “meaningful” in association with financial value; that is way too superficial.

What I am speaking of is becoming someone of importance to someone. An identity with the knowledge to impact others lives for the…

3-points on work, family, study balance

The reality of pivoting a career is indeed challenging. There is a hunger for change, dreaming of a new 9-to-5, and eagerness for those HD’s!

Does it sound like too much pressure? With recent reflection I have been reminded of my why.

To another trimester ✅ Learnt lots - struggled hard w building websites 🤬 Within this unit, it was the grades that I lost that taught me the most important lessons. I also took part in a social media unit; everything, and I mean everything was online! I worked with other students to build websites, social media plans, coordinate deadlines and record podcasts and video, and I never met a single person in public. I think I prefer working with people online, rather than in person! 🤫 #oldbutwise (at Geelong, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4D0_4jHQqxEOWPLqOFAoa61vzaDUVm6Q5T6bg0/?igshid=1836r0j6jyey3

Wishing upon a stressful star?

Latest post. This one is focused on pivoting your dreams of winning the lottery and focusing on the long game...

Let’s imagine I have a magic wand, and I could make any of your dreams come true. 

Most people would wish for an abundance of wealth. They would love the idea of not having to care about money or their future ever again. Is this even possible, even with magic? 

Those who have been lucky enough (or unlucky) to win the lottery complain about the burden and life dissatisfaction that came along…
