Phone a friend

Long before Google, before online walkthroughs, before you could ask a screen anything at 2am, there was a phone number.

Blisters before bliss

From Greek myths to campfire tales, from woven tapestries to Hollywood blockbusters, storytelling is one of the oldest and most celebrated traditions in the history of humankind. And threaded through much of it is a recurring shape.

The parade comes anyway

Twenty years ago, if you visited Bryne, a small town on the west coast of Norway, you’d find an indoor football pitch that sat unlocked most weekends. A group of local kids would let themselves in, split into two makeshift sides, and play football for hours...

Small country, big hearts

A few weeks ago, we met Vozinha, the 40-year-old goalkeeper from a tiny island nation who kept Spain at bay on his World Cup debut. Over this last week, the world got to experience the next plot twist in this extraordinary story.

Humble and hungry

We've reached the middle of the year, and for those of us in Australia, EOFY seems to feel like an additional full stop. One chapter closing and another about to begin. If any of this comes with a sense of shoulda-woulda-coulda, you’re in good company.

It is what it is

It has become one of those phrases that's almost a little throwaway through sheer repetition. We say it at work when an opportunity falls through. We say it at home when plans collapse. It slips out as a reflex for many of us, a verbal shrug, if you will...

A dream worth the wait

This week, a 40-year-old goalkeeper became the most talked-about man in world football. Meet Josimar José Évora Dias, though almost nobody calls him that.

The greatest victory

Two Brazilians, both centre-backs, bound by something that goes well beyond football... It all begins with a penalty miss in Qatar, and continues with a hug in Budapest.

Back to the blueprint

This week our adventures took us to Adelaide... and to a new a-ha about play, and its role in every hero's journey.

Dance to your own beat

It's England, 1934, and a young girl by the name of Gillian - or 'wriggle bottom,' as her teachers had taken to calling her - is struggling to focus at school. Her teachers are at their wits end, concerned a learning disorder may be at play.

We're curious about 'cringe'

Let's double-click on this idea of sincerity. Because what does cringe actually point to, beneath all the self-consciousness and social noise?

Stay in the sandpit

"It's gonna take a while. It's normal to take a while. You've just gotta fight your way through" Ira Glass Something a little serendipitous happened at Mojo HQ this week. Within the space of 24 - 48 hours, the same video arrived in

Ducks and Kangaroos

An email arrived in our inbox this week from a brilliant coach at Langwarrin Footy Club. Reading his words sent us back to our earliest memories of team culture through sport, the journey of figuring out who you are through play, and what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself.

The long way round

London has been the talk of the town this week amongst running enthusiasts, with Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha rewriting history with their record-breaking performances. But we’ve got a special marathon story of our own, one that unfolded on home soil in a small country town.

From wandering to wondering

Ten days in the void is certainly one way to find a worldly perspective. After splashdown, reflecting on what the Artemis II mission had meant, the crew had a simple but profound a-ha moment to share.

Meet the moment

Rory McIlroy made history at Augusta earlier this week, becoming the first European player to win all four major championships and claiming back-to-back Masters titles in the process. But there's another aspect to this story that really captured us this week.

Tiny steps, huge shifts

Life has a way of dealing the most brutal, challenging cards. And it’s often in these crucible moments - the ones that bring us to our knees - that our mindset becomes our greatest companion or our harshest critic.

Dear Lin

In a world obsessed with speed and optimisation, the greatest things still take time. So in the spirit of slow, long weekends, settle in with a cup of coffee for an exchange between two of theatre's greats.

What's your favourite failure?

Casey Dellacqua lost seven women's doubles Grand Slam finals across her career. Seven. That experience in a word? 'Brutal!' But in her recent episode on the Female Athlete Project, she also calls this her favourite failure.

Heading back to Play School

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of imperfection. So when the opportunity came up to step back into the studio with long-time friends of Mojo and all-round legends Hugh Van Cuylenburg, Ryan Shelton and Josh van Cuylenberg — it was a no-brainer.

Our greatest growth comes from our darkest times

We wouldn't pretend to know what it's like to navigate Parkinson's on a daily basis. Every experience is unique, and there's no one size fits all for life's biggest challenges. But what we found so striking, was Michael J. Fox's reflections on his own experience...

Lost and found

The legend behind Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and one of Hollywood's most iconic careers took to the podium at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards. It was a hero's journey told simply, honestly, and with that trademark dry humour mixed with a vulnerability we've rarely seen from this movie giant.

After the snow settles

As we metaphorically kick off our ski boots this week, we’d love to celebrate three women who gifted the world with some powerful examples of Agency, Acceptance and Appreciation in Milano Cortina.

A view from the slopes

There’s something electric about the Games. The ultimate feat of athleticism and sportsmanship. Human-doing on a whole other level. But, as we always say, it’s the human-being moments that run deeper than any medal or scoreboard.
