Episode 267 | Why We're Doing Work All Wrong - And How to Change it feat Tim Duggan
Jan 02, 2026
In this week’s episode of The Lorraine Murphy Show, I sit down with one of my favourite humans to learn from, the brilliant Tim Duggan.
Since our last conversation, Tim has been through a huge personal and professional evolution: establishing his post-exit life, redefining his identity, writing multiple books, and travelling the country in a camper van.
This chat is expansive, raw, and full of practical wisdom for anyone navigating big transitions, stepping out of old versions of themselves, or wondering what comes after achieving the goal you once dreamed of.
Here’s what we dive into:
- What it really feels like to step away from a business you built (including the emotional and identity unravelling)
- How Tim reimagined his life and work after leaving Junkee - and the surprising clarity found on a six-month camper van trip
- The creative process behind his books, his writing practice, and what’s currently inspiring his next chapter
We also explore the difference between founder life and corporate life, why Tim refuses to be boxed in, the power of becoming a translator of your industry, and his beautifully refreshing take on sustainable content creation (hello, MVP).
It’s a conversation that will meet you exactly where you’re at, whether you're craving reinvention, more spaciousness, or permission to build your life backwards from what matters most.
