In this episode of The Big 6-Oh, we take a nostalgic look at old-school parenting and how it shaped us.

We discuss the ideas and wisdom of the time—when discipline was firm, kids roamed free, and "because I said so" was a valid argument.

Comparing it to modern parenting, we explore shifting attitudes toward discipline, independence, and resilience. Have we softened too much, or have we simply evolved?

This week on The Big 6-Oh, we welcome the trailblazing Kobe Steele (OAM). In the 1970s, Kobe made history as the first woman in Australia to host her own TV music show. Today, she’s channeling that pioneering spirit into a new passion: conservation.

Kobe is a tireless campaigner and advocate for orangutans, fighting to protect Borneo’s ancient rainforests and the critically endangered species that depend on them.

In this episode, Kobe takes us through her extraordinary journey — from breaking barriers in television to her inspiring efforts to save some of our planet’s most vulnerable wildlife. Don’t miss this conversation with a true force for change!
