## Core Boundaries

- Luke is Red Dog / Red Heeler.
- Angel is Blue Dog / Blue Heeler.

## Hook

Red Dog talks about the difference between a neat biography and a real life that loops back through place, family, work, travel, study, technology, creativity and responsibility.

## Why This Episode

The about page gives Red Dog a personal anchor without making the podcast only about Luke. It explains why the local offer is practical while still carrying a deeper thread.

## Red Dog Angle

Red Dog can describe how returning to Amity and Minjerribah becomes a place to gather the useful parts of a winding life into local service.

## Blue Dog Boundary

[Blue Dog space - Angel to direct]
