Digital Down Under: Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant’s Vision for Online Safety The Blue Owl Group's "Winging It" Podcast · Episode

First up is our very own @ColinCrowell speaking to Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant. open.spotify.com/episode/0Poc...

On Winging It, we’ll talk to top policymakers, civil society leaders and tech trailblazers who've been there — and lived to tell the tale. And have some fun along the way, too.

Everyone's got a story about winging it. Those uncharted, universal moments we all face – when there’s no playbook, no mentor on speed dial, just your instincts and sheer determination to guide you.

We’re launching a podcast. Yes, the world needs another podcast like it needs a hole in the head. But hear us out — we're doing something different.

Great to be in India with @blueowlgroup.bsky.social and the Twitter 1.0 crew. The @bsky.app values were discussed in depth. Good time to get the band back together...💪

fyi we're on Bluesky with purpose.

We get the Internet we create. And we need more human creativity, coordination, and expression - not less.

Decentralized challenges are right up our alley.

We’re the Blue Owl Group — a global collective of public policy & communications professionals from the frontlines of political & technological landscapes.

We're remote, decentralized, & advancing technologies that respond to the biggest societal challenges.

Let’s talk.
