Tech Society 059 - Western Australia: Extreme Isolation. Extreme Innovation

 Necessity breeds innovation. The same too, can be said for isolation. So when living in the most isolated city in the world, Perth businesses have had to overcome challenges quite literally faced by none other on the planet.  Join Alex and John from Ninja Software for an illuminating chat with Stephen Scourfield, Travel Editor for The West Australian.  ‘The story of Western Australia is a story of splendid isolation’, succinctly expressed by the multi-award-winning author and twice voted ‘Australia’s Best Travel Writer’.  Stephen has just released his latest book, Isolation, which explored WA as an island within an island. In particular Stephen helps explain how isolation is deeply ingrained in all aspects of our state, and how the ‘hindrance’ of isolation has in fact given our City an edge over all else when faced with the enforced distancing bought on by COVID. ◎More Information◎    ▸ Isolation, https://thewest.com.au/travel/wa/isolation-ng-b881727017z    ▸  Stephen Scourfield, http://stephenscourfield.com/     ▸ Ninja Software, https://www.ninjasoftware.com.au/vision      ▸Tech Society 007 - How Startup News was founded,https://www.techsociety.fm/episodes/how-startup-news-was-founded     ▸ Tech Society 045 - Wake up Perth! https://www.techsociety.fm/episodes/45-wake-up-perth-with-mark-pownall     ▸ Tech Society 057 - West Tech Fest, VC Deal Flow and Perth vs Silicon Valley, https://www.techsociety.fm/episodes/57-west-tech-fest-vc-deal-flow-perth-vs-silicon-valleyWebsite:  https://www.techsociety.fm/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/techsociety-fm/?viewAsMember=trueSpotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/0STaLU0ATmS9dEyey4FwjviTunes:  https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/tech-society/id1516405840Google:  https://podcasts.google.com/search/tech%20societyTwitter: https://twitter.com/TechSocietyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/techsociety.fm/
