INTRODUCING THE SOUNDS OF ECLAT
Every person has a story they’ve never told in public.
Not the polished version from a panel. Not the LinkedIn post. The real one. The decision made at the wrong moment, the feedback that stung, the habit that held everything together when nothing else did.
At Eclat, we’ve had the privilege of sitting alongside some of Melbourne’s most interesting people for the past three years. In our spaces, over coffee, between meetings. We’ve heard things that deserved a wider audience.
This is us finally giving them one.
The Sounds of Eclat is a conversation series hosted by Nick Maxwell and Lauren Blackwood. Each episode, we sit down with a founder, leader, athlete, creative, or operator and ask them to think out loud about what it actually takes to build something that lasts. Not the highlight reel. The substance underneath it.
What you won’t find here: hype, jargon, or easy answers.
What you will find: people who’ve made hard decisions, learned from the wrong ones, and kept going anyway. Each one candid about the part of the journey that rarely makes the press release.
This is The Sounds of Eclat.
Hosted by Nick Maxwell and Lauren Blackwood, The Sounds of Eclat is a space for honest conversation, exploring the moments, perspectives and decisions that shape people beyond what’s usually shared.
