🥋 What does it mean to truly listen, not just in a conversation, but in life, business, and negotiation?

This week on Rolling Through Negotiations, we yarn with EJ Garrett, a proud Darumbal and Wulli Wulli man, filmmaker, and founder of EJ Garrett Pty Ltd, an Indigenous-owned media company leading powerful community based projects.

EJ has written, directed, and produced documentaries for NITV, and his approach to storytelling is deeply grounded in respect, listening, and the power of relationships. In this episode, he shares what he's learned from decades behind the lens, working with Elders, and telling stories that centre community, not just content.

We unpack:

• Why the best storytellers are the best listeners
• How negotiation is shaped by the questions you ask and the patience to hear the answers
• Why pricing your work right is about honouring your worth
• And how money, at its core, might just be another form of energy and service
