1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: Five double A nights with Matthew Pantellus. Well, at that

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: time of the fortnight when we have a chat with

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Leslie Venning, the CEO of the WEA here in South Australia,

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: right here in Adelaide as a matter of fact, to

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: talk about some of the excellent courses that they have

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: on offer things you can go and do and learn

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: and prosper from, maybe even make money out of once

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: you get the expertise. Who knows, But certainly in terms

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: of education, you can't beat this real fun, real good

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: and real handy courses you can go and do. Leslie,

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: how are you fun?

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: Good? Thank you? How are you all right?

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Thank you? I'm bit concerned about the very first one.

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the joy of sobriety.

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: Indeed, this is a course that lets you explore the

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: bigginess wellness phenomenon sweeping the globe from the sober curious

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: movement to the alcohol pole alcohol free then such as trips,

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 2: drinks and bars, and how to look at lifestyles around

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: the world and discover the approach to different drinking. Right,

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: and I'm sorry, that's my cat saying she hasn't been

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: fed in nine thousand years unreal.

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Is there a course on that? There probably would be

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: there is. That's the the joy of sobriety. The cat

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: certainly sounds that the recycled garden is another one.

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, having a beautiful garden doesn't mean it has to

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: be expensive. The gardens offer lots of opportunities for reusing, repurchasing,

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: and recycling seeds and other plant materials can often be

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: easily propagated and shared with friends and friends that.

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: You have, Leslie, do you think you need to go

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: and feed the cat?

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: She's actually not dying of hunger. She's you know, there's

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: one centimeter of a gap on her bowl in the

33
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: kitchen that's not got food on it, which means she

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: thinks she's dying.

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Okay, talk to me about creating a website with WordPress.

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Word Press started as a blogging system and it's evolved

37
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: into a full content management system used by almost a

38
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: quarter of the websites around the world. While you can

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: still use WordPress just to create a simple blog, it

40
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: allows you to create a fully functional website. The best

41
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: part about WordPress is that it's easy to use, flexible,

42
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: with thousands of free templates.

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I find so many of us have them,

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and I use mine quite a bit, but I still reckon,

45
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: amongst all the things I've seen videos and YouTube videos

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: and whatever and pop up items on social media about

47
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: the clever things that can do, I reckon, I'm probably

48
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: a bit like my brain, probably only using it to

49
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: five percent of its ability.

50
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: We do that a lot, don't we. In this course

51
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: we look at training and void emails, the important things.

52
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: Although if you ever go to buy a phone, they

53
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: never talk about that stuff these days, it looks built

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: in that thinking to the iCloud, the apps or essential

55
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: and fun apps, web browsing, email, photo and video shooting,

56
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: and how you use theory to get the most out

57
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: of your phone.

58
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: Amazing. So yeah, we've got to learn more about our

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: own phones, whether they're iPhones or even Samsung's or whatever brand.

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: They can do a lot more than just make phone

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: calls and tell you a couple of photos. That's for sure.

62
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: An introduction to animal communication. You might be able to

63
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: talk to your cat if you do this, that's right.

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: This is the one that the cat needs. Have you

65
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: ever wondered what your animals are thinking and feeling? Discover

66
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: how you can connect them through are happy? Asking questions

67
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: and understand them on a deeper level. My cat's level

68
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: is my feed bowbl has a one centimeter gaping food.

69
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: That's funny, so okay, quite distressing for the cat, clearly. Well,

70
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: you don't need to do the course. You understand each

71
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: other perfectly, obviously.

72
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think we do.

73
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Embroidery for absolute beginners. Courses for everything here.

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: That's right, learn step by step to hand embroidery stitching

75
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: technique to produce a simple hand embroidered project. And embroidery

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: is coming back as a thing that's had a bit

77
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: of a revival in the last few years.

78
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: Get out there and learn to do it. If you've

79
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: always wanted to know making sour dough bread, there's a

80
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: course on that.

81
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: This is a really popular course that we run. Making

82
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: sadough bread is a trying true method of sadow bread

83
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: breaking that's easier than you might actually think, using methods

84
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: of commercials and used in commercial yeast.

85
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: How about French Christmas log. This is the bush denoel.

86
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: How timely as we head into the festive season. That's right.

87
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: The mule log is abst form of the cake is

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,159

Speaker 2: version of this rold case decorated to resemble a log

90
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,200

94
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: There's a course on the financial market called Cycle Analysis

95
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: and Market Timing. So I suppose if you want to

96
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: be a savvy investor, this sounds like the wea course

97
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: for you.

98
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,080

Speaker 2: conformation and future predictions. The course provides a solid starting

101
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: point for investing in the market.

102
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: For people who've got a sewing machine but are a

Speaker 2: Indeed, so learn how to alter tensions, which is really

106
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: important with sewing machines using different stitches and feet. Gained

107
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: confidence you need to make government in your future.

108
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,440

112
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: complement other WA courses in Microsoft Office. It's really good

113
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: for those who've maybe missed out on the basics over

114
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: time and just need to plug up their knowledge so

115
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 2: that they know what they're doing.

116
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: Wonderful. And just finally a course on succulents and cacti.

00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: desert plants.

123
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: How about that? And you know what I love about

124
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: All the courses we've talked about, or not all of them,

125
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: but a lot of the ones we've just discussed, LESLIEA

126
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: are one day courses. So you can come along and

127
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, you might be sitting there thinking, oh, I

128
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: haven't got weeks to put aside, I don't really want

129
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: to do that. A lot of the ones we've just

130
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: spoken about you can do it a day.

131
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: That's right. They're one day courses. You come in, you

132
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: get the information you need, and then you go away

133
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: and you can do your things. At your home, in

134
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: your garden, in your workplace.

135
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Well, the cat's going wild in the background. It's going

136
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: to eat you soon. It's probably starving that much. You're

137
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: going to be cat food.

138
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: I might be. Hopefully I'll speak to you in a fortnight.

139
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: I hope you do. Leslie, good luck with the cat.

140
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, thank you bye.

141
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: Leslie Venning, the CEO of the WEA. She has talked

142
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: about the cat before. I think I've heard it meal before,

143
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: but it hasn't been obviously as hungry or distressed that

144
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: Leslie's not paying the attention it deserves as much as

145
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: it has been tonight. Quite amusing. There's got to be

146
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: a course on that at the WEA. Check them out

147
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: w EA dashesa dot com dot au. You'll find a

148
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: course there for you. There are loads on their website.

149
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: We've only talked about what eight ten of them here tonight,

150
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: but so many more. Whether it's photography, music, learning to write,

151
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: you know in terms of poetry or authoring or whatever,

152
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: mechanical stuff, computing stuff, floristry, they do it all. There

153
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: are so many courses and were worth a look at

154
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: the website or the booklet that comes out in the

155
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Mailbry so often make sure you skim through it

156
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: and find a course that you will benefit from if

157
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: you are so inclined, because there are so many and

158
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: really wonderful to do,
