EVRY1 Choose people. Not the feed.

3. Was there a moment from the night that has stayed with you?
There are many. Dean’s story of what life looks like each and every day. Jake bravely sharing what happened to him as a man opens the door for women to step forward and also be courageous. Simon’s story of resilience and finding himself in the quiet moments alone. Salvatore’s innate gift of storytelling was exquisite in every way. Beau’s vulnerability to stand and deliver a previously unseen part of his story. And of course Emma Jane’s quirky, honest reclamation of her life!

6. What is one thing I could make better?
The venue had some noise from the dancing studio above.

(Thank you. I will work on this for Season 2 next year, I'd love to be in a position where I can find a quieter and more intentional space for EVRY1 shows moving forward)

9. Is there anything else you'd like EVRY1 to know?
You have created an intimate, ingenious experience of what it truly means to be human. Thank you for opening the door for everyone to become more compassionate, understanding and more innately human.

Thank you for sharing Rachael - You are who the room needs. I do this for people like you. You're always welcome back.

WHO DECIDED WHAT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT?

think about how much of your life is now filtered through a screen.

we have AI-generated opinions, ads for things you never wanted, political outrage designed to make you angry, gender wars designed to make you pick a side, strangers arguing with strangers they'll never ever meet, algorithms deciding what deserves your attention, and i could go on.

and somewhere in between all of it:

the people sitting right beside you, the person on the bus, the colleague you've worked beside for three years but never really spoken to PROPERLY, the stranger standing next to you in a queue, the friend you keep meaning to call, your literal neighbour...

the feed doesn't know them. because they aren't profitable, they aren't trending, they aren't generating engagement.

so it gives you something else. look at this. be angry about this. agree with this. fear this. buy this. watch this. keep scrolling. keep scrolling. keep scrolling. keep scrolling. keep scrolling. keep scrolling.

and the more we stare at the screen, the less we look at each other.

we're becoming incredibly connected to everything... while becoming increasingly disconnected from everyone.

do we actually know the story of the person sitting next to us? do we know what they've survived or what they've lost or what they're proud of or what they've maybe never told anyone before?

here's what we believe at EVRY1:

real empathy requires proximity. you can't truly understand a human being from a profile picture. you can't feel someone's pain through a comment section. you can't build belonging by watching other people live. and no algorithm can replace sitting across from another human being and actually listening.

so we're choosing something different.

not because technology is evil or because phones are evil or the internet is evil, because they aren't evil.

but because human beings are too important to become content.

we don't want another opinion. another argument. another advertisement. another outrage cycle. another thing we don't care about demanding our attention.

we want people. real people. real rooms. real conversations. real stories. we want to remember what happens when we stop consuming people... and start listening to them. properly hearing them.

CHOOSE PEOPLE. NOT THE FEED.

because the feed will always want more of your attention.
people need something else from you.

your presence.

INTRODUCING... EVRY1 SEASON 1 FINALE: THE CHOICE STORYTELLER, ANDREA GULLICK.

Life doesn't always give us a choice: Bad things happen to good people, often. But what if instead of becoming immersed in the stories of our life we were able to observe them instead? And what if in the space between becoming and observing there were nuggets of gold more powerful than you could imagine?

Andrea Gullick first watched her 2 day old baby battle cancer before becoming widowed 3 years later and she maintain these two events were the worst and best things that ever happened to her.

She's a captivating storyteller, and I'm honoured to have her share her story on our stage.

EVRY1: Come for the stories. Come back for the feeling.

Reflections on a pro wrestling career cut short.

From Salvatore Sciacca's story at EVRY1 S1 E3 last Friday, exploring his days as a wrestler for IPW - Impact Pro Wrestling Australia and what it meant for him.

If you'd like to be in the room for the next one to hear a story from Josh Taylor, aka KYOTE, here's the event page.

70 people - Six stories - One room. Friday night was THE PLOT TWIST. Those who were there, has there been anything that's stayed with you?

Dean Clifford's skin is always trying to kill him. He was born with Epidermolysis Bullosa, and shared his story in front of a room of 70 people at EVRY1 on Friday night.

I found Dean because Meta's AI labelled him a zombie, and the trolls came out to play. Despite that, he's still standing, still speaking and still shattering stigmas. He's an absolute legend.

If you would like to be in the room for the next EVRY1 show, earlybird tickets are available now for EVRY1 SEASON 1 FINALE: THE CHOICE.

We're cultivating an audience of warm, empathetic and kind people at these shows. If this is you, please come see six people share their lives with you.

Please share this video around. People like Dean need to be seen.

As EVRY1 grows, I want to find the right people and organisations to grow alongside us, people who believe in what we're doing and can help these stories reach further. Right now, EVRY1 is largely a one-man show. But my ambition for it is much bigger than one person. I believe there is something universal in what happens when people are given the space to tell the truth about their lives, and when others are given the opportunity to really listen.

I want more people to experience that.

That's why I've partnered with BRIMBRAVO to help EVRY1 build meaningful relationships, partnerships and opportunities as we grow. If at any point you found yourself thinking, "There might be something we could do together," I'd genuinely love you to explore that.

Daniel and Brett from BRIMBRAVO were actually in the room last night and experienced first hand what happens at an EVRY1 show, and they're excited to have these conversations, whether you're an individual, business, organisation or community group.

The question is pretty simple: Is there something we can do together that helps each other grow, and, in doing so, helps more people's stories be heard?

If the answer might be yes, we'd love to hear from you.

If you feel you could do something, please email [email protected]

EVRY1 S1E3 IN THE BOOKS! Wow. What a night. Who to thank. Every single person who came and supported EVRY1, supported myself and supported all of the storytellers. I feel blessed to have so many caring and kind people in the room last night.

Last night, Emma Jane Somaticka, Dean Clifford, Nourish Street Inc's Beau Haywood, Jake Thorsen, Captain Australia's BIG LAP's Simon Harvey and myself, Salvatore Sciacca took the stage to share a true story of our life. It wasn't always an easy listen. There were tears and there was laughs. There were moments where you could have heard a pin drop.

But at the end of the day, six people stood in front of a room full of strangers and said "this happened to me," and a room full of people chose to listen.

That's EVRY1.

Stories that Stir's ERIC EM, and Louisa Cornwill, thank you for being the first faces of EVRY1 as our Front of House team. For welcoming people through the doors, helping them feel comfortable, cared for and like they belonged in the room before the show had even begun.

And Kelly Dunn Sciacca, thank you for stepping into the incredibly important role of our Support & Wellbeing Leader. When you're asking people to share vulnerable parts of their lives, and inviting an audience to sit with those stories, having someone there purely to support the people in the room matters. Whether a storyteller or audience member needed to step outside, debrief, talk or simply have someone there, you were that person for us last night.

Thank you to Daniel Brimblecombe and Brett O'connor for also making people feel welcomed as they walked through the doors and into the room.

These might be the roles that happen away from the stage, but they're a huge part of what makes EVRY1 feel like EVRY1.

And to everyone who bought a ticket and sat in that audience: you are every bit as important to EVRY1 as the people who stand on the stage. These stories need somewhere to land. Last night, you gave them that place.

If anyone wants to share about their experience at EVRY1 last night, please share using this feedback form.
