Hi everyone, Ioni and Olivia here and we're so excited to be presenting a brand new

limited podcast series exploring modern identity. Made in collaboration with monkey, the

skin your ear explores what it means to be alive today and the biggest issues affecting our generation.

From period poverty to body positivity, gender and race, we want to know where the conversations

are at and what we can do to move them forward.

We're talking to the people at the forefront of these issues enacting change through their work

and lives.

So let's go.

This is episode four, five of six. Wow. Absolutely flying by the penultimate episode.

And today we have Shelby Lawman from Awards for Good Boys. Yeah. Which I feel like this one is really good timing. And for anyone who's not familiar with it, Shelby's work is focused around how we celebrate

people for doing the bare minimum and who gets celebrated and why. And I think the conversation is just

really good timing because it's like also who gets expected to do more and why. And a lot of it is

based around online activism, which is kind of something

that's came up on like every single episode about how to like exist safely, productively and

kind of like, influentially in like with more work being an influencer with like social change

as the desired outcome of the influence.

Yeah, totally. And I think like a lot of the strands we spoke to Shelby about a kind of things

that I definitely have been speaking about in my like peer group or whatever, but haven't really

seen vocalised in a public way. So I'm really excited to like get some of these thoughts out there so here it is

Shelby and Shelby's dog who's only like in it for a second but I mean they were there the whole

time the star of the show it was very well behaved here it is. Hey Shelby.

Hello.
