In this joyful, energising conversation, I sit down with David Flynn ... co-founder of The Happy Pear ... to explore what it really means to live with purpose, build a business from the heart, and find meaning in the everyday.

We talk about the early days of The Happy Pear, the power of habit, and how David and his twin brother Steve have built a values-led movement grounded in community, curiosity, and good food. From 4am sea swims to fatherhood, failure, and staying aligned through change, David shares with honesty and humour what continues to light him up.

Whether you're dreaming of starting something new, looking to reconnect with what matters, or just need a fresh dose of inspiration, this one will leave you smiling.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Sieve, a podcast about what really matters and how we choose what to hold onto, and what to let go.

I’m your host, Karen Anderson, writer, creative strategist, and co-founder of Fossoway Stables and in this solo debut, I’m inviting you behind the scenes to discover what The Sieve is all about.

This podcast is born of a lifelong curiosity: why do we do what we do? What shapes the choices we make in life, work, and relationships? And how do our core values, the things we say matter most, actually show up in our day-to-day?

In this episode, I’ll share:

• The personal and professional threads that led me here
• The meaning behind the name The Sieve
• What to expect from upcoming episodes
• Why values-driven conversations feel more essential than ever
• A few thoughts on slowing down, starting something new, and trusting your voice

Whether you're building a life, a brand, a business or simply trying to live more honestly this is a space for sorting, sifting, and seeing things clearly.

Thank you for being here. I’m so glad to begin.
