The story

When we leave school, we are ready to explore the world, find ourselves, fall in love, fall out of love, live in a share house, live by ourselves, get full time employment, surf full time,  experiencing all of this and much more in the shortest period of time. So being ready to tackle the world and make a difference within it, you would think that by this age we would be well equiped with the basic life skills, to do this; but unfortunately in the modern world a lot of these traits aren’t being equipped to our future generation. which I will say now, (this is definitely not a blame or hate blog towards parents, teachers or any individuals). But it is unfortunately true, and I believe that the education system needs updating to involve a wider range of skills that are needed in our everyday lives. We should be equipped enough with the basic skills, to live and be apart of our communities, and these lessons should be incorporated into our curriculums and learnt on a daily basses, along side and in conjunction with maths, English, science and our other common classes.

But until and even after that happens I would like to create a space for everyone to feel welcome to come and learn new skills and mindsets, not only for everyday living but for living a fulfilling life. Through personal views, factual/non-factual information, interviews; on a vast range of skills, from paying taxes, changing a car tyre, how to travel, healthy eating habits, inspirational stories, goal setting, communication skills, stress management. Because these are the skills that we need to survive on our own and are a lot easier to learn now, then through expensive fines, poor health, or being trapped ‘in the middle of who knows where’, unable to change a tyre.

CLEAR YOUR MIND

Keeping a clear mind is vital to our health and working efficiently at the chosen task ahead. We have all tried focusing on something like a test, talking in public or running a race, to be overcome with thoughts that had nothing to do with the actions at hand.  It lowers our performance dramatically, taking …

Follow YOUR PASSION (don’t let anyone stop you)

Has there ever been something in your life that has made you excited or given you this burning passion? But you never followed it through or gave it a chance to see where it could lead you. Unfortunately a lot of the time this happens because of our closest friends and families; the ones that …

STAY IN THE DEEP END

Have you ever noticed how much you can achieve, stretch and grow when out of your comfort zone? From a young age we are constantly being put outside our comfort zones, from starting school, making friends, starting a new job, going to our first conferences; anything that involves a new situation, new people, new skills. …

About

My names Dylan Lourey, and I’m a 25 year old from a small town in NSW, Australia. I have been self employed since 21, running a Property maintenance business, giving me a great chance to still live life to the fullest, being able to travel, socialise, and work on my many hobbies. Throughout this process experiencing, learning, failing and making many mistakes; giving me an abundance of knowledge since leaving school. I started thinking how good it would have been to of known some of this knowledge when I was starting to tackle this world on my own. So here we are, hopefully this is somewhere we can all come to learn and improve ourselves and life skills to make those daily hurdles a little bit easier 🙂
