We care for the land and sea. We care for the energy. We care for our community. We care. Welcome to it Takes Heart. I'm Sam Miklos and I'm Kate Coomba. We hope you enjoy these incredible stories of healthcare professionals making a difference in communities across Australia and beyond. Through our conversations, we look to celebrate the spirit of community and care. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land who have long practised and shared ancient methods of healing, providing care and support for their communities with wisdom passed down through generations.
Kate Coomber:Join us as we explore what it truly means to take heart. Welcome to it Takes Heart, the wrap-up the season in review the reflection we should have thought of the title. Anyway, it's nice to be here having a bit of a chit chat. We've now we've got our 12th episode about to drop next week.
Sam Miklos:Yeah.
Kate Coomber:Which is with Margueritte King. So that will be crazy that we've done 12. I know. So this, this is a little bonus 13, if it makes it to this. Everyone's like whoo, If we can edit something together.
Sam Miklos:Subscribe or I'll send you the uncut version.
Kate Coomber:A little stocking filler perhaps Before we launch into Season 2, which we're doing.
Sam Miklos:We're doing. Yes, we are, we are Absolutely.
Kate Coomber:Which, hopefully, we look forward to getting out in about February. Yep, so really great opportunity. If there are any healthcare workers who would love to share their story, reach out to either one of us. Maybe now that they've got a tangible product that they can listen to, now that we have a library of things, they will go.
Sam Miklos:I'm in, Whereas shout out to all of our guests who said yes and we hadn't even named the podcast. Huge amounts of gratitude, we did it.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, huge amounts of gratitude. We did it. Yeah, so incredibly grateful, and that's the power of a network, right, which has been really exciting, I think, if we think back to when you first said let's do a podcast, we just jumped right in. What was the thought, why did you want to do it and how's it been different to, maybe, what you set out? God?
Sam Miklos:was there ever? Was there a plan? No, there wasn't. I just had a. I've got to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm sick of everyone telling me no, but why I want to do it. I think I genuinely think.
Sam Miklos:Reading Sonia Henry's book, I was like there's so many stories. There is this chronic shortage of healthcare workers across the country and so often we hear that people go and take these roles and go. God, I had no idea I could do that. I had no idea. Or you'll talk to people and they're not even aware of the communities, and it doesn't even have to be remote communities. Sometimes it's literally that they're not aware of what Geraldton in WA is like, or it's just never been on their radar. So I thought if we could use it as a way to raise awareness for different communities. If you know, as we saw with India, if a Gold Coast nurse goes, I need a change of heart. I'm just going to leave nursing, or I could go and do travel nursing and then I will stay in the profession longer. You know, I think if we change one or two of those lives, I think we'd hit our goals.
Kate Coomber:But it's evolved further than that. I think, I think that we thought we would attract people to maybe more rural healthcare and I think in the first few episodes Indy definitely hit that brief and has inspired so many people. But then I think when we started to speak to more guests like Ellen as well, I've got friends who are healthcare workers, who have families, and I know that they just thought that was always for someone like Indy and I think Ellen really showcased that it's available to families and you can actually have a better lifestyle in a regional setting versus the city that you may have thought was the right place for you.
Kate Coomber:But then, if you think about the conversations with Dinesh and we talked a lot around inclusivity I know for me and my sort of recruitment team, we've spoken a lot about that this year in terms of how do we, how do we make things more accessible for people. So it's really opened up a lot more conversation. And then Margueritte, the latest conversation we had.
Kate Coomber:Who would have thought that you could go into healthcare and go to the Olympics? Yeah, that was great. So I think it's just showcasing the variety of opportunity if you work in healthcare.
Sam Miklos:And telling the stories about these great people. You know, I think there's been so many wonderful. I'm in Dinesh like gosh. There's so many incredible people that work in healthcare and just to be able to shine a light on them I think has been really lovely.
Kate Coomber:Maybe we're a bit like Annabelle and we should have been hairdressers. What? Because we just like the stories.
Sam Miklos:Everyone's got a story to tell, so we're not too blondes. Maybe one of us should be, you can be the brunette.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, I don't think I could be trusted with a pair of scissors and a hair. No, no, but we do. We love to share their stories. We're very curious and we want to know more about people which.
Sam Miklos:I think, is any highlights? I think there's been so many. I mean meeting. I remember meeting Dinesh on that first day. I mean, you know, I think you said to us too, like what do we know about podcasting? Zero, yes. Like, if you think about that first day we didn't do a course, no, and I remember they were calling is it the roadcaster? I started at the roadcaster and I was like what is this?
Kate Coomber:thing, the disco lights, I was like what is this thing?
Sam Miklos:Do I have to touch it and am I going to press it? No, you're not allowed. Yeah.
Kate Coomber:Exactly, don't touch, just stay back.
Sam Miklos:But we didn't know so much and I think a highlight was when you look back on that time, with Dinesh going really like minor celebrity. We knew nothing. We'd read his book. I look back on that and I was just a fangirl, just smiling at him like speak to me.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, we didn't say a lot, did we that day, but that was true. We were such fans and we were nervous to meet him as a star because we were in awe of what he's done in his career and what he continues to do. But then throw in the mix when our podcast hosts, it was a bit of an extra layer there. Yeah yeah For that day, but I think it turned out okay and I think that he's obviously just so gracious.
Sam Miklos:Yeah, he's been a great connection to have made and, I'm sure, a friend of many years to come and I think, um you know, so many of those chats were just like funny, like hearing Ellen and Nigel had us laughing. Ellen had me emotional. Um, I loved Indy like god. I just adore her like seeing what she's done and um watching her travel around, just all of it.
Kate Coomber:Mara Davey, like she was like you know, thank you.
Sam Miklos:I would never have done this and I've gotten out there and had a crack at being on a podcast, Like I think it was. I think a highlight was to so many people had never done anything like that and seeing them just blossom and lean into it and have a chat.
Kate Coomber:I really loved that, and then to see the I guess the uptake for them to see like people have really resonated with their stories and I think that's really beautiful for our candidates that have taken the time. And then I think, if you think Lesley, Lesley Woolf, like so, so beautiful, such an incredible woman, and that entire chat before we actually started rolling about because we tried to fly her in the night before, we said we'll fly you in, come and stay in a hotel.
Kate Coomber:We'll come in into the office and meet the team the next day. She was like no, no, I'll just let you just come in that morning. So she'd gone from Maningrida to Darwin, darwin to Brisbane. Our team had picked her up from the airport with Meg who came down from Mackay, flew into the office at a cuppa ready to go.
Sam Miklos:Yeah, she was amazing. I feel like there was so many of the pre-chats that happened that didn't even make it.
Kate Coomber:Well, they're going to make this. They're going to make this? I think so.
Sam Miklos:And there was some really funny ones and there was some where it was like, oh, stop talking. Stop talking Like this, like this is what we want to hear, and you know we would miss that. But yeah, lesley, people like Leslie where they are just so inspiring, and there's, I think what's really struck me too is, you know, people have spoken about people who aren't in healthcare are enjoying hearing these stories, you know, my old neighbour shout out to you, maddie.
Sam Miklos:He was like I'm loving it, let's do it at work. He doesn't need to be you know. So I think people have enjoyed just hearing the human stories.
Kate Coomber:So let's think back to the go live of it Takes Heart. We were moving office. We went live on the office date no that was end of financial year.
Sam Miklos:We moved office. It was a week or two after.
Kate Coomber:And then we went live, because it was too much to do in one week, but we were like, let's just do it two weeks later. For me, that was probably one of the biggest months that I've had at CMR for a long, long time, because there was really big deadlines and we wanted to be great and we didn't know what we were doing. Yeah, my poor husband, gosh, what would we have done with that? Brad, like you, literally, were racing to my house at nine o'clock at night once we got the kids to bed to stand in a makeshift cupboard and try and re-record.
Sam Miklos:Put blankets around their heads.
Kate Coomber:Try and re-record I'll-record I'll find some photos try and re-record some um edits for the intros because, we suddenly, as we started to record episodes, suddenly realized this is what it is.
Sam Miklos:This is this.
Kate Coomber:We haven't written that classic samantha mcloss of continuous improvement we're about to go live.
Sam Miklos:No, let's re-record. It's also like didn't think about that, didn't think, let's just do. Let's not think that was a lot.
Kate Coomber:It was Sorry, but we just knew we wanted it to be as great as it could be. Yeah, for the people who had said yes.
Sam Miklos:Yeah, I didn't want to disappoint people who had given their time to speak to us. I was like, if we can't make this feel really schmick for them, and yeah, I want them to be proud, yeah.
Kate Coomber:And send it out to everyone. But I know it was a lot, but it was really nice to be working so closely with you because it'd been a long time since we'd probably had a project where we worked so closely together after hours In a really confined space In a booth.
Sam Miklos:In a booth and we had, you know, I think, when you look back, like there's been so many of those, we had that day where we did a whole day of recording, do you remember? And we had all the tech problems, yes, and we had the delay and the lag and we were trying to push through and then we were just like we've got to call it, like this is not.
Kate Coomber:We didn't even have this space, we were out in a different area and you know there was a lot that happened and we've had some guests who have been so kind and we've done a re-record or we're booked to do a re-record because we've really realised that here in person.
Sam Miklos:it's nice to actually engage it's where it feels great.
Kate Coomber:And we will always do them on teams et cetera when we need to, but this is definitely a preferred setting where we can actually have a bit more of a conversation.
Sam Miklos:Yeah.
Kate Coomber:And so we've. If anyone's noticed, there's a song overlay to all of the episodes and we partnered with Waveney Yasso, an incredibly talented Indigenous artist here in Brisbane who I think you'd seen perform at some events that you've been to. Yeah, at some events yeah, and you were like, yeah, we need to get her involved. Yeah, so we had this brilliant workshop. We put the call out for our team if anyone would like to be involved, and we were going to build an acknowledgement of country in song for CMR.
Kate Coomber:That's really special to us and means what we think and what we feel. And so now that overlay of every episode. I think it's really beautiful and people are certainly commenting. It's a catchy song.
Sam Miklos:It's a beautiful song. She did such a nice job, I think you know when she launched that song. Is that what it is?
Kate Coomber:Yeah, and when she came in and she was playing in the town hall when everybody arrived at the lifts, like that was really special, it was beautiful.
Sam Miklos:And then people are getting emotional and listening to that, Like she did. I know you and I are a lot to work with. I'm sure she found us very hectic and if you're listening Waveney, I am so sorry, but I'm so grateful. She is an artist and she did such a good job and I'm really grateful for the outcome.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, so I think of you know the project of the podcast. There's been so many incredible things to come of that. Even if you think about, we now have that which can be overlaid to everything that we do, and that's really special Charities. Yeah, there's a lot, so I can't even remember how this came about when we first started planning to donate $500 with every episode of this first season to a charity of the guest choice. Why did you want to do that?
Sam Miklos:I felt that if there was a hook, maybe it might you know, because we had no product to go on.
Kate Coomber:We didn't think anyone would say yes, I didn't think anyone would say yes, Like come here, what's it called?
Sam Miklos:We don't have a name for it. We don't have a name. I felt like if there was something that people were connected to, then they might be more willing to come and speak and be a part of this. But equally, I'm really keen to hear about, I guess, the charities that are close to our community's heart, and there's been some charities that you wouldn't have even known of.
Sam Miklos:And there's a lot of big charities out there, but there's also a lot of little ones, and there's equally, you know, health services where that money could make such an incredible difference. So I just wanted to throw it out to the floor a bit just to see who we heard about. You know, as a business, we're always looking to align and support different charities and hear about different organisations and associations, and if we could just be connected with one more, that might make a difference or, you know, redirect the work that we do. I was just, I was all in for it, yeah.
Kate Coomber:I'm really proud of that. To even learn about some of these charities, you know I spoke to the wonderful women at the Rural Doctors Foundation last week and I didn't even realise the campaigns that they run of sending health professionals out to the rural sites, because who cares for the doctors out? There and the nurses out there, so I think it's been a really wonderful learning yeah.
Sam Miklos:What have you loved?
Kate Coomber:What have I loved? Looking back now and I said to you we're doing it you know, you kind of made it happen.
Sam Miklos:I just went along for the ride. I mean it's been pretty stressful for you. No group effort, I just rolled in.
Kate Coomber:I think a huge shout out to the team who have helped. Yeah, we've had an incredible group. I think Our producer, sarah yeah, producer Sarah, sarah McAuliffe has really helped us.
Sam Miklos:She was probably the first conversation we had where she was like we can do this and we can do this quick. Yes, I think we would have dilly-dallied without her just going get in, let's do it, let's do it. So thank you, thank you so much.
Kate Coomber:Sarah, I think, working with Bright Yellow to make sure we can pull the design together All the tiles changing the order.
Sam Miklos:all the time on there Shout out to Bright, yellow.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, we've been really really difficult, difficult, um, and I guess Monique and our team off the back of that, because she coordinates all of that and she has been there, um, oh gosh, bless her, that photo shoot that we did she was there. I think she learned a lot about us that day. I think we learned a lot about us that day.
Kate Coomber:I think it's just been so good to connect with our community on a regular basis and give them a voice to share their story. I think that's been my absolute favourite thing. I think we've upskilled incredibly this year. I mean the tech behind running a podcast. I had no idea about and I think what it Shout out to your husband, brad, too, for also helping us with this.
Sam Miklos:Yeah dealing with my very late night, which is great.
Kate Coomber:Dealing with my really last night panics. When you think you know what you're doing and then it just doesn't work. There's been a lot of that, but it's been a lot of fun. I think everything you do you have a lot of fun with, and this is no we definitely laughed a lot and had a lot of very typical awkward moments, but fun. If we swear, is that bad? Yeah, okay, yeah, there you go. Don't swear, oh my God, let's go.
Sam Miklos:Sorry, I'm Sam Miklos, your host. Who am I, your?
Kate Coomber:host. You're the host.
Sam Miklos:Technology is not my thing. There we go, that's okay. It's not our thing either.
Kate Coomber:Don't be fooled by all of this.
Sam Miklos:We have other people helping. Thank you.
Kate Coomber:My lovely, sexy voice on for you From Geraldton in Western Australia to Crocodile Island in the north. Sorry, what happened?
Sam Miklos:Did you?
Kate Coomber:just feel it. What happened to you then? Sorry, I could just thinking of the crocodile, did you just realize?
Sam Miklos:What happened to you then? Sorry, I could just feel you. Is someone going to bulge in that door behind you? Are we going to have someone running in? No, look, the clinic closes from 12 off to 1, so that's why I had it this time. But the clinic is closed on Thursday mornings. Anyway, okay, awesome, awesome, awesome, hang on one second. I was like awesome, hang on one second.
Kate Coomber:Co-host Kate Coomber head of talent and employer branding at Cornerstone, I was going to say you were about to laugh.
Sam Miklos:Celebrate, okay, okay, sorry, should, should we just take a stop? Should we just like click it in?
Kate Coomber:So do you listen to the episodes front to back? Never you know.
Sam Miklos:And not because I just can't listen. I can't listen to myself. It's hard. I really appreciate you doing it on our behalf, but it's just I can't. In the conversations I'm always frantically taking notes and thinking about what it means, but also we get really great ideas from them. So I do, I do a lot in the moment, but I cannot listen to my own podcast.
Kate Coomber:Norbert listens and he gives you feedback. He does.
Sam Miklos:And so do my parents. Dad's like, stop saying, like, stop saying yep, yep, yep. So thank you, dad, for the feedback.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, no, we definitely get a bit of family feedback. So there's one moment that I remember that really made me laugh. Well, not in the moment, it didn't make me laugh, it terrified me. I didn't know what to do. It was the first thing we'd ever recorded. It was with Dr Dinesh Palapana. We were. He was talking to his charity, I think, which was Titans Together, and so as soon as you start talking, I assumed it was football.
Sam Miklos:I was lost.
Kate Coomber:I was sitting there just waiting for Sam to carry it, because I don't know what anyone's talking about and then I can't remember what happened? We'll have to definitely put this in.
Sam Miklos:He said he was giving no. I don't want to say this, because did it make?
Kate Coomber:it no. Did you cut it out? Well, because there wasn't a reaction and it just didn't make sense. There was no context.
Kate Coomber:So, but I think now, so, in reflection, he was giving his money to the Titans, which is an NRL team, apparently yes, yes, but you made a joke at me at the time when we were recording that it's an AFL team and I don't know what I'm talking about and I was sitting there so confused because I was pretty sure we just talked about NRL. You were taking a dig at me but I didn't know what was going on. I lent him so hard for it. You really did.
Sam Miklos:I genuinely felt like it was an AFL team. I, you really did.
Kate Coomber:I genuinely felt like it was an AFL team.
Sam Miklos:I don't even know what I was thinking, I just was in the moment and then he didn't correct me no.
Kate Coomber:So then I was like I'm right, because he's so kind, he was so polite about it, and it wasn't until after that I was like when he left oh my gosh, so then you reached out to him, I did.
Sam Miklos:I was so embarrassed To.
Kate Coomber:I don't know if I can say anything.
Sam Miklos:He was just like watching you and I and you were like what is going on here Having a moment.
Kate Coomber:Who is this? Oh, that was funny. Sport is really important and it's a good vehicle, especially in Australia, where it's been our national language for so long to do that. So yeah, the Gold Coast Titans would be the one, and their charitable arm.
Sam Miklos:Amazing.
Kate Coomber:Is NRL your favourite sport, that's.
Sam Miklos:AFL or do you have a? You're in the tip.
Kate Coomber:That's why you're in the bottom of the tipping. I know Because you have no idea what you're tipping.
Sam Miklos:I know what I'm tipping.
Kate Coomber:That's hilarious.
Sam Miklos:She goes with her colours. When she's tipping, I do, I like it. You have blue today, I like it. When she's tipping, I do. I'm a bit of that, yeah, blue today.
Kate Coomber:And then another really funny bit there's quite a few sort of had to be there moments, right? So the last one we just recorded with Marguerite King. So we don't have yet a clapper board to start each episode. We're told that you need to do a bit of a clap to sync the audio with the video.
Sam Miklos:Look at you. So technical I know something like that.
Kate Coomber:Anyway, so the last one we did, we didn't really we didn't share with any of them really, which is actually a big fail, and we should do that going forward. You just said right, we've got to clap. No, I think I just started clapping, you just started clapping. And so again, such a kind, polite guest just started clapping with you. We're all just in here, just like clapping at each other.
Sam Miklos:Okay, we need to clap, don't we? We need, to like a Were you going to clap with us?
Kate Coomber:That was so funny. This is actually my first time, so I'm just like, oh okay, Am I making a big mistake?
Sam Miklos:Oh my God, that was actually my favourite. I do hope that's recorded, because that is my favourite moment of all of our episodes. I'm like are we all in sync?
Kate Coomber:I'm assuming I'm going to be in sync with you, do we? Not tell you that we're dancing.
Sam Miklos:Look, whatever it takes, really. Oh, my God that is so funny Literally.
Kate Coomber:I used to be doing what I'm told, so you know, I'll laugh it out.
Sam Miklos:That has literally made my day. Oh my God.
Kate Coomber:I'm so sorry Thinking that we all need to do it.
Sam Miklos:It's just so funny because it was not Anyway. So the retakes. We've learned a lot. What has been good is. I don't think we've had to edit out. We haven't edited Other than that, dinesh thing with the football.
Kate Coomber:There's been a little bit of maybe you know a coughing fit here and there that we may have dropped in order for someone to get some water and survive.
Sam Miklos:But the conversations have been real and flowed, yeah.
Kate Coomber:I think Sarah's been really wonderful to guide us around that of people just want to see the real conversation and not the edited version. So we've really tried to do that as best we can. But there's definitely been some behind the scenes that have been really funny, and this year particularly, I think, at CMR. I think everyone will feel at CMR it's been a very, very big year. Stop it. That's every year. Right, it is every year, but this year has just been a little bit extra and I think it's been really nice to still have some comedic relief.
Sam Miklos:This has been very funny In a closed room, yes. So what are we going to do different next season?
Kate Coomber:Next season, because we've already got a lot of guests lined up. We do. We are definitely looking for more at the moment, though, and really important to us, if you're listening to this and you want to come and have a chat to us, please reach out.
Sam Miklos:Or if you know someone who's got a really great story, really great story, yes, we'd love to hear from them.
Kate Coomber:Definitely, anyone working in healthcare within Australia would be great. I think it's really exciting We've now got the studio set up so that we can bring people in yeah, whenever they're available now and spend time yeah. So they can reach out to us, and I think it's just continuing these great conversations of finding out about them and their story. What I love is that this isn't about CMR, no, or about us.
Kate Coomber:This is about the guest and what they bring and what they've done and how can they help others. Yeah, all the gaps, all of those things, which is really exciting.
Sam Miklos:But appreciative of being brought on the journey no thank you. We would not have had it if not for you. If, honestly, like I, might drop an idea but you grab it and turn it into something like you got all the studio. You had all the connections I thought I was producing the podcast.
Kate Coomber:I didn't know that I was on the podcast when you asked me to do this and help you.
Sam Miklos:Just got to be in a room of my own.
Kate Coomber:Yes, I genuinely thought that I would be pressing the buttons and I'd be prepping some people and I would try and figure out what is a podcast, and it was literally the week before we started. Well, I knew that you wanted me to interview you on that first episode to get to know you.
Sam Miklos:I did not want to be interviewed on the first episode. You were like you've got to do one on the first one, but I was happy to like-. Sarah told us we had to do that.
Kate Coomber:So I knew I was doing that. But then when we went to interview Dinesh and then a couple more that day, I didn't know until the week before that I was on it with you, details, details. I kind of just assumed you were.
Sam Miklos:No, we couldn't.
Kate Coomber:No, that was an internal monologue that you had with yourself. That was the conversation you had at home. I felt like we talked about that. No, we didn't. Oh God, is that a new job?
Sam Miklos:description. No, I felt like Like I couldn't have done it without you. I think I'm not the details details planner and you know you've done so much work before, so many of the interviews, all the questions, and I know I spoof in and go. No, I think the direction's over here Change it. It's fun and it's happening in an hour. I know I do that a lot, but I think together that's what we've been able to get.
Kate Coomber:You know, those 12 episodes were done in record time, like oh, there was one day we filmed like four episodes in a day and a promo, do you?
Sam Miklos:remember we had the oh God, we had to do that video. We had that team come in. We didn't know what was going on and I fell off the chair and I couldn't get my headset on.
Kate Coomber:I didn't understand the purpose of what that was for, so we didn't know what.
Sam Miklos:Maybe that was an internal monologue that.
Kate Coomber:I had as well and I didn't tell you about I missed that memo.
Sam Miklos:I might have been off at that meeting that was. That was a really big day, so, but I feel like I'm super grateful.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, and we learned to reign it back yeah, we did, we did. Actually, we were like we can't do too much, we don't have the energy but three in a day, three in a day.
Sam Miklos:I'm like next year we just do one and we do it really well. Yes, but no, but no, it's been really good. I'm really grateful. I think I'm really proud of the outcome. I have loved the conversations that have come from each episode and, you know, just for our team here to be able to be so proud of these great stories and use them to do more great work, I think is incredible and yeah all the charities that have come.
Sam Miklos:It's been fun. It's been really of all the things this year. It has been a very intense year. I will give you that, but I've really enjoyed these moments, like the lead up to each one is stressful, yes, and as they finish we go, yeah.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, it is a good feeling when you finish that and I think that we have got better.
Sam Miklos:We have got better In Dinesh Like if you think about Dinesh, our audience can tell us that At least we speak now, whereas in Dinesh we were just like, oh my gosh you just speak to me.
Kate Coomber:speak to me, NRL.
Sam Miklos:I don't know what's happening here, but I'm just like Try to be cool.
Kate Coomber:But when we spoke to Marguerite on the last one, I felt that we felt better. Yes, We'd come a long way.
Sam Miklos:Lucky Marguerite for the last one.
Kate Coomber:Yeah, she was wonderful. But because it's also hard, because we have so much to say and it's been the big challenge for me is sitting quiet. And you're writing down telling me what to say, and I was like I don't know what she's saying, I'm talking right now, I can't read that at the same time. Yeah, um, but I think that, yeah, because we do say a lot. Just trying to not talk at the same time is hard yeah, so maybe next year we're going to talk less.

Kate Coomber:You stop dressing like me.
