This week, Interchangers Gabe Harris & Pete Murphy sat down with seriously playful creative strategist, Camey O'Keefe to chat all things play in the workplace.

Camey takes us on her journey from creative suit in agency land to director of Gambol. Camey brings a clear-eyed view on why play is a powerful tool for building high-performing teams, sparking creativity, and strengthening culture.

Together, they explore the everyday habits and behaviours that shape how we work: the language we use, the way we show up, and the invisible rules that hold us back. From Lego to leadership, and even a bit of hide-and-seek, it’s a practical conversation about bringing more lightness (and effectiveness) into the way we lead.

As we kick off FY26, it’s never been clearer that genuine team connection, a clear strategy, and deeply embedded purpose are essential ingredients for success.

Fresh from our 2025 offsite in Bright (where we unpacked all of this and more) we were reminded of a conversation Sophie and Felix had around this time last year. In it, they unearthed one of Interchange’s most powerful, yet often overlooked, secret weapons:

Offsites.

In this Best Behaviour rewind, Sophie and Felix explore why it's so important to step away from the day-to-day matters - to work on the business, not just in it - and how we use that time to Go Platinum at Interchange.

In this episode of Best Behaviour, Georgia and Gabe dive deep into two of their all-time favourite shows - The Bear and Suits. They explore the psychodynamics, leadership styles, and emotional undercurrents driving the characters, teams, and power struggles in both series.

What do a high-pressure kitchen and a high-stakes law firm have in common? More than you’d think. Georgia and Gabe examine how these fictional settings mirror the realities of the hospitality and legal industries, and what these portrayals reveal about human behaviour.

Whether you're a media junkie or just want to see your favourite shows through a new lens, this episode is your invitation to watch smarter, feel deeper, and learn something unexpected along the way.

Welcome back to the 2025 season of Best Behaviour! This year we've given the podcast a creative refresh, kicking things off with Episode 1 of our True Crime series.

In this episode, we dive into The Rise and Fall of Bennet and Clarke Capital, a finance firm in its golden era - until a high-stakes merger changes everything. As priorities shift, psychosocial hazards emerge and cyber safety is pushed into the background. And when a devastating data leak occurs, the firm’s response reveals just how deep the cracks run…

A gripping story of secrets, blame, and cultural failure that will leave you guessing until the very end.
