Imagine this…

You’re five years old, and the world is at your feet.

You’re in the car with your eight-year-old bro, just picked up from childcare by your dad.

But your dad has a plan.

That plan involves two gas cylinders he’d strategically placed in the back seat earlier that day… and a cigarette. A horrific act of revenge. A father prepared to kill his two sons (and himself) to spite their mother. Not just to rob her of custody, but to take her children from her entirely.

Spencer Connelly doesn’t have to imagine this. It’s his life. A life he’s lucky to still be living. That man, his ‘father’ might be released from prison in the next 12 months. Because apparently, such a monstrous act only warranted a little over a decade behind bars.

Spencer is now 17. I just recorded a podcast with him after my dad met him at the grocery store and was enamoured by his spirited personality and kind demeanour. 

Turns out, he now attends the same school I did back in the day.

After an hour of banter, I can tell you this much… Spencer is a testament to the BEST of humanity.

Strength.

Kindness.

Love.

Acceptance.

Peace.

People like Spencer lift us all up.

It’s moments like this that make me feel so bloody grateful to do what I do and be able to connect with such incredible humans. Oh, and he featured in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga so he’s kind of a big deal

This ep I’m hanging out with 21-year-old pocket rocket and Aussie road racing prodigy Tara Morrison... and let me tell you, she ain't just riding motorcycles, she’s rewriting the books. Tara's the only female racer in all three national ASBK (Australian Super Bike Championship) classes, taking on the boys and carving up the track like an absolute legend. From her first time knee-down in her mum’s leathers to breaking records (and bones), this girl's grit is next level.

We chat about the sheer physicality of racing, what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated sport, and why falling hard only fuels her fire even more. You’ll hear about her track day evolution, what it takes to compete (a helluva lot), and how one epic win saw her cross the finish line ahead of the 40 blokes, fist in the air and history made.

This one’s for anyone who knows that behind every win is a thousand sacrifices, and the ones who go hardest are usually the ones told they shouldn’t even be there.

Four years ago, Nick Reid was on the podcast recovering from a brain tumor, facing a 50/50 survival rate. Now, he’s back... and life has thrown even more brutal punches his way. A marriage breakdown, the devastating reality of parental alienation, and a legal system that makes it near impossible for good dads to stay connected with their kids.

We talk resilience, mental health, and what it means to keep showing up when everything feels stacked against you. Nick shares raw truths, hard lessons, and why he refuses to let this battle break him.

This one’s real, raw, and a must-listen for anyone navigating life’s toughest blows.

In this episode, Craig Harper and I discuss the different forms of intelligence. While high IQ is often seen as the pinnacle of intelligence, it doesn't encompass social, emotional, or intrapersonal intelligence, among others. We also touch on the impact of various learning styles on perceived intelligence. Harps admits to being a naturally slow learner, but once he learns something, it stays with him for the long haul. On the other hand, I am typically a super-fast learner with a short attention span. This means I can quickly grasp new concepts but struggle to retain the detailed information long-term. Just ask my high school math teachers who begrudgingly handed me my A+ marks, despite my rambunctious classroom disruptions.

Charles Brice began his journey into aviation by starting flight classes at the age of 15 and went solo at 16. His aspirations to become a professional pilot however were tragically altered by a motorbike accident at 19, which left him quadriplegic. 

Sharing his early (and ever-present) love for motorbikes, a passion ignited at the age of four, Charles opens up about the impact of his accident and his reality around accepting and adapting to life from that moment on. Something he did seemingly with an edge of ease and grace, given the circumstances. Now a journalist for the ABC and a very recently new Melburnian, I loved this chat with Charles, I'm sure you will too!

When I meet Matt De Gruchy for the first time this year at a Gala event, I could have mistaken him for someone with 20/20 vision... Until I noticed he was 'looking' a little to the left of me when he spoke to me. On the path to losing 96% of his sight to Stargardt's disease, Matt grappled with acceptance, self-isolation, weight-management, and generally landing himself in a pretty dark place - metaphorically, I mean. 

But people like Matt don't stay in the dark. They level up, and step up, and that's what you're going to hear about today. Matt's enthusiasm is infectious and his message clear. It's about ability, not disability... and he's out to influence those who need it - don't we all!

If you're inspired by people with a vision, you're going to LOVE Matt.. I sure did!

Ever catch yourself 'out to impress', and behaving in ways you assume might gain approval over your usual behaviour? Ever notice how when we observe that trait in others, it's quite off-putting? Ever wonder why we can observe that in others, realise it's off-putting, and still catch ourselves doing it anyway? Human behaviour is a funny thing, and today Harps and I are chatting about exactly this.

Dr. Mark Williams tells me that Still Face Syndrome is real - a consequence of our attention shifting from human interactions to digital devices. The terrifying part is that it's robbing infants of critical emotional development, with repercussions that are hard to imagine. This is just one of the mind-blowing facts Dr. Williams shares in this episode.

Who is Dr. Mark Williams? He's a rebellious high school dropout turned cognitive neuroscientist. Mark's own story is a testament to our ability to transform our lives at any point. From the nuances of human behavior to how our environment and interactions shape our perceptions and actions, Mark sheds light on the critical role of emotions, the subconscious impact of our mirror neurons, and the silent epidemic of device addiction affecting our kids.

Join us for an eye-opening chat about the unseen forces guiding our everyday lives and the steps we can take to foster healthier connections and habits.

In this episode I'm welcoming back Sergeant Mark Thomas, the legend behind The Code 9 Foundation, and we're talking about complexities of identity, trauma, and resilience, particularly within the realm of first responders. Mark shares how he navigates managing his PTSI (PTSD) while simultaneously continuing to serve in the Victoria Police and discusses the importance of separating work identity from personal life for mental health and wellbeing.

Our chat explores the challenges of being in a high-stress job and running a foundation that supports others in similar situations, without getting entangled in politics or organisational conflicts. Mark highlights the emotional rollercoaster that comes with his responsibilities around this and the importance of finding balance and maintaining his own support system.

This episode offers insights, anecdotes, and practical advice for anyone dealing with trauma, or supporting others in their healing journey. Tune in as we aim to shed some light on the human side of first responders.

Another cracking chat with the wonderful Kerryn Vaughan as we explore some fundamental questions that shape our lives. We explore our values, our character, and why we often sweat the small stuff. And speaking of small, why do we tend to play small in life?

In this episode, we get philosophical about how to live well and navigate the inevitable hormonal rollercoaster (a journey I’m just beginning myself). It’s a discussion filled with fun and profound insights.

Kerryn never disappoints - always enlightening and always a blast!

Imagine riding a motorcycle at a breathtaking speed of 270 kph. Now, picture doing it with your eyes closed, unable to see a thing! That’s the reality for Ben Felton, who couldn’t see a thing even before he even got on the bike. Teaming up with Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix legend Kevin Magee - who has an impressive 36 Grand Prix races under his belt and is the winner of the 1988 Spanish Grand Prix - Ben set out to become the world's fastest blind man on a motorcycle. And in true legendary fashion, they achieved this remarkable feat in March 2018.

Today, I’m chatting with these incredible lads about their personal and shared journeys. From Kevin’s brain surgeries to Ben being told at 15 that he was going blind and there was nothing he could do about it, their stories are nothing short of inspiring.

This is an epic conversation that breaks down barriers, redefines what’s truly possible, and puts the ‘ability’ back into disability.

The episode title might sound intense, but the reality is that these kinds of things are happening around us every day, and someone has to handle it. Many times, that someone was former Detective Narelle Fraser (and wow, what a powerhouse she is). She’s definitely not what I expected when I sat down to talk with someone who's been at the coalface of some of Australia’s most high-profile and horrific criminal cases.

We delved deep into her unique and intense 27-year career with Victoria Police, where she shared her experiences in the most challenging units, including the rape, homicide, and missing persons squads. Narelle's combined experience and perspective are nothing short of fascinating as she opens up about facing unimaginable trauma, dealing with the stigma of mental health, and transitioning from being a police detective to a mental health advocate. Her raw honesty and passion for helping others are just a few of the reasons why this episode is a must-listen.

So, grab your headphones, get comfy, and join us as we explore Narelle’s epic story. You won't want to miss it!

Another brilliant chat with the wonderful, brutally honest and ever insightful Mark LeBusque in the bag today!  We explore our 'stop and go' stories, you know the ones that hold us back or propel us forward, but often run on their own accord in our heads and dictate our behaviour. I discover my internal 'little miss nobody' identity (have you got one of those too?). 

How do we get out of our own way? How do we break the cycle? How do we develop the skill of intuition? He never fails to get real and raw with me in these chats and I love it to bits. (Free coaching, hey!)

It's fascinating how much we can learn and evolve when we give things a shot and find ourselves in the right environment with the right learning style that engages us. Best part is it keeps us young, sharp and always growing! I loved this chat.

Today, I had the pleasure of talking with Gavin McCormack and his brilliant friend, Dan Lakis, diving deep into the world of education and learning. What could unfold if us 'grown-ups' and our traditional 'the-way-it's-always-been-done' philosophy stood back for a second to consider taking a new approach to teaching and developing the minds of the next generation?

The lads and I explored the profound impact of connection, empathy, and real-world learning experiences. Gavin shared his journey from being a teacher (as we've previously discussed his Montessori method) to leading impactful projects that transform lives. Dan introduced innovative approaches to spark critical thinking and creativity in students. Did I mention Dan was the founding Vice Principal of Ad Astra, Elon Musk's school at SpaceX? (Just sayin').

We talked about the critical impact of building trust, fostering creativity, and empowering children to take ownership of their learning. Gavin's stories highlighted how connecting with students on a personal level can significantly enhance their educational experience, and Dan's insights on promoting curiosity and critical thinking were absolute eye-openers. (Where were these blokes when I was chained to the classroom?)

Just like my last banter with Gavin, this one sparked so much of my interest around how we think, learn, create, and impact the world we live in. You're going to love it!!

Upon meeting Sean Turnell, I can tell you first impressions sure don't conjure up an image of a prisoner. He's brimming with enthusiasm, optimism, and an undeniable zest for life. In fact, Sean had me somewhat perplexed at how he could be so cheerful as someone who had recently been thrown into one of Southeast Asia's most notorious prisons for 650 days (Myanmar), charged with being a spy and violating the country's official state secrets act.

A Sydney-born economist, Sean admits his comfortable academic background certainly didn't prepare him for the physical and mental conditions he was thrust into facing when he served 2ish of his 3-year sentence. We banter about the mental toolkit, the strategies and mindset that served Sean throughout his experience, and the impact of the media amidst the chaos. 

I adored chatting with Sean, I hope you enjoy the conversation too!

Join me for a meander down a deep rabbit hole of contemplation about this grand little thing we call 'life'. This journey we're sitting in the middle of (or the beginning, or maybe closer to the end than we even know). What I do know is that we seldom pause to reflect on how fleeting it really is. How insignificant we really are (in relationship to the significant worry and anxiety we allow ourselves to revel in). And how vast our options on how to 'live' it really are. 

This thought stemmed from a recent post I made on social media, today I recite that post with some additional thoughts and a handful of questions you might find valuable to ask yourself if you feel inclined to partake. 

Enjoy!

Love. What a minefield it seems to be! People falling in and out of it, chasing it, dreaming of it, yearning for it, crying about it, running from it and some even downright avoiding it at all costs (What? Don't look at me like that.. I have pets!).

Jillian Turecki shares thoughts, ideas, suggestions and often, compelling hard truths on her Instagram to her 2 million followers, and so after appreciating her pearls of wisdom there for quite some time I thought I best get to on the show to help us all figure this thing out. 

What IS love? being my first question of all. We talk about what love is (and isn't). What's important in relationships, what's tripping us up, culture, chemistry, infidelity, bad advice, and plenty more. 

Tune in lovers!!

In this chat, I sit down with hip-hop artist Donny Pelsoczy, who rocks the mic under the alias Eloquor, which means to shout out or express one's self. He's joined by his long-time friend and producer, Seven Six (7'6), and together we dive into the depths of their musical adventures and the powerful bond they've developed along the way. Donny shares how he's been in the game for over 15 years, starting out with pivotal help from 7'6 at his studio.

We get into how they've navigated both their professional relationship alongside what has become a deep friendship, weathering storms including a significant fall out and eventual reconciliation. They open up about the essence of collaboration, and how it's not just about the music but really about vibing with the right person. Throughout our banter, it’s pretty clear that these two are not just making tracks together; they're crafting life's soundtrack through their own trials, errors, and triumphs.

This episode is all about partnership, the passion behind the production, and how true connections can turn beats into anthems.

From a whole lot of life going wrong, to a whole lot of life going right. Summer McStravrick developed 'Flowdreaming' amidst her own journey of inner healing and the quest for a better life experience and results... Now it's followed by over 180,000 avid flowdreamers across the globe. 

So, what is it? I hear you say... Thanks for asking! It's a technique that lives at the intersection of daydreaming, emotion and flow state... A technique that Summer has identified to be a kind of magic elixir that does some pretty awesome things around healing and manifestation. 

So if you're into cracking your mind open to the slightly woowoo (which I know you are because I've had several requests for this topic for a while now) then you are going to LOVE this chat.

In this cracking episode of the show, we are blessed with the brilliant mind of Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, a titan in the world of women's mental health. Jayashri breaks down the intricate dance between hormones and mental health like nobody else. She's not just the top dog at the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre, she's also been on the front lines, pioneering research that digs into how our hormonal roller coasters can throw a wrench in our mental well-being.

We chat about her groundbreaking work (the Prof has not only penned over 200 research papers, but also pushed the boundaries of psychoneuroendocrinology).

Get ready to unpack everything from the nitty-gritty of brain chemistry, it's relationship with the impacts of early life trauma, and how to 'best' navigate the management of the mental, emotional and perhaps biological turbulence that can strike at any time of women's lives (yeah, hello menopause). Jayashri shares her wisdom on why a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t cut it for women’s mental health, and why tailored treatments are the game-changer we need.

Strap in ladies, because this episode is packed with insights that'll change the way you think about mental health and hormones!

Good grief... how many of us have been holding out for that perfect moment to transform our lives? Be it our situation, circumstances, lifestyle, career, habits, health, or outcomes. Here we seem to be yearning for improvement & change, but all too often finding ourselves continually engaging in counterproductive behaviors that only set us back. We squander time, talent, energy, and opportunities, ultimately engaging in those all too familiar acts of self-sabotage and self-destruction.

What is it that puts an end to this cycle? Perhaps now is the time.

In this episode I had the opportunity to sit down once again with Rae Bonney, a passionate and proactive advocate for men's health. Our discussion dives into the critical need for inclusive health policies that specifically address men's mental health. Rae highlights the startling gap in global health policies - very few countries have frameworks that adequately address this issue. She shared insights from her work with organisations that collaborate closely with the World Health Organisation to push for necessary reforms. Rae's dedication to this cause is truly inspiring, and it reminded me of the powerful impact advocacy can have on public health initiatives.

Ever wondered what it takes to fly straight into danger and make it out the other side? Well, strap in because today’s guest, Kim 'KC' Campbell, knows exactly what that feels like.

Kim is a retired US Air Force fighter pilot who spent 24 years defying expectations, leading missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and navigating some of the most intense situations imaginable. She’s flown over 100 combat missions in the A-10, including one that saw her aircraft severely damaged over Baghdad, forcing her to make a split-second decision that could have meant life or death.

We dive deep into that moment, the mental and physical resilience it took to stay in control, and how her training kicked in when everything seemed to be falling apart. Kim shares what it was like growing up with a dream that didn’t seem possible, pushing through barriers in a male-dominated field, and how those lessons in courage, discipline, and leadership have shaped her life ever since.

This is a conversation about grit, mindset, and what it really means to face fear head-on. Whether you’re flying high in your career, navigating personal challenges, or just looking for a jolt of inspiration, Kim’s story is one you won’t forget.

Peter Shankman is an absolute legend, with a faster than normal brain. I recently got my hands (or rather, ears) on his audiobook and instantly fell in love with his insights. I listened attentively - 'squirrel' (thanks for that, Peter) - and even replayed it several times to soak up his strategies for managing these 'faster than normal' brains associated with ADHD.

This conversation isn't just for the neurodiverse; it's for anyone looking to optimise their potential in today's fast-paced world.

Why don't we just say 'thank you' when we should (when we receive compliments), and why do we say 'sorry' when we shouldn't? 

Today's chat with Kerryn Vaughan is a smorgasbord of reflective thinking out loud around how we do life, and how we might do it a little better. From being emotionally hijacked, to learning to establish a sense of belonging in our lives, Kerryn brings her lively zest for life to the show along with some deeply insightful ideas and lessons. 

Sorry, not sorry!

When I refer to the 'girls,' I'm not talking about your friends but rather the 'girls' on your chest!

Suzie Betts is making waves with Boob Armour, her pioneering product designed for women in contact sports. As someone from this field myself, it was a revelation to discover that breast protection had never crossed my path in the decade-plus I've spent both delivering and dodging punches.

In our conversation, we delve into the journey of turning an idea into a tangible product and the challenges of navigating the market to launch it successfully. Suzie has been through this process more than once, and I find it incredibly insightful, especially for women bringing ideas to market in the sports sector, which is often still viewed and dominated through a male perspective.

Money, money, money. It's something many of us spend our lives chasing, accumulating, spending, wasting and obsessing about. It brings us joy, it causes us stress, and often it's at the core of relationship breakdowns. And fair call, in today's world if we are without money we are screwed. However, there's a whole lot tied up in our relationship with money and how we behave with it. Ever feel like getting a raise would solve your problems, only to eventually get a raise and have just as many 'money problems' as you had before? I learned through observation (and very much experience) along the way that money doesn't solve money problems. 

We aren't taught money at school, and there's a whole lot of 'do this' & 'do that' from so-called money experts out there (trying to make money from their so-called expertise) and so what questions should we be asking about 'money and us' before we go listening to some of those money sharks out there?

I hope this conversation with Tricia Northeast can shed some light you and your relationship with money... Winning the lotto ain't going to go far if we don't know the basics about our own money stories.

Raise your hand if you're somewhere between a little distracted from time to time, to downright all over the place with scattergun-like focus... Me too, me too. And in 2024 when the world is tugging at our attention and splitting it to shorter and shorter intervals, is it any wonder?

Well, Nir Eyal is the GOAT (greatest of all time) when it comes to defining, debunking and destroying distraction. Today we dive deep into the definitions and our understanding of what distraction is (and what it is not) and how to overcome and harness that sought after 'traction' in our lives.

Being thoughtful, productive, and constantly striving for excellence is admirable, but at what cost? The problem arises when our natural tendency to develop habits and routines morphs into a pattern of always putting everyone and everything else first. In doing so, we often sideline ourselves, our most crucial ally. While 'selfishness' rarely receives applause, a certain kind of well-intentioned selfishness is not just a refreshing approach for maintaining high performance and happiness, it's absolutely essential. Hell, I'm still grappling with this balance at 40... How about you?

In our chat, LeBusque and I dig into this idea. We also delve into building confidence, maintaining integrity, and learning to accept that 'you belong in that room (so #%$@ off imposter syndrome). If, like me, you've been chained to the grindstone, letting comparisons, corrode your confidence, and you're ready for a reality interrogation, then step into our office. This conversation is for you!

Rachel Berger is one of Australia's leading comedians, and being the daughter of holocaust survivors, she has an acute awareness of trauma, both in a physical sense and a mental sense, and therefore a knack for turning even the most serious topics into opportunities for a good laugh.

As we discuss the nuances of comedy, Rachel delves into the heart of what makes something truly funny and ponders the question 'do we really need to avoid taboo topics for fear of offending these days?' According to Rachel, it's all about the intention behind the words. From challenging topics like mental health to the everyday absurdities of life, she demonstrates how humor can be a powerful tool for connection and healing.

The episode isn't just about laughs, though. It’s a deep dive into the transformative power of humor, especially for those who have faced trauma or difficult experiences. Rachel talks about her workshops where she empowers individuals, including first responders and others, to use stand-up comedy as a way to reclaim their stories and find strength in their voices.

In this episode, Kelly Humphries shares her powerful and deeply personal journey. Opening up about her experiences as a survivor of child sexual abuse, she reflects on the challenges she faced and overcame.
The unfortunate reality is that in Australia, almost 30% of people experience sexual abuse by the age of 18. Our conversation delves into the complexities of building friendships and maintaining relationships while grappling with past trauma. Kelly also discusses her former career in the Queensland police service, highlighting the impact of her work on her mental health and her eventual transition into advocacy and support for other abuse survivors. The episode touches on important topics such as creating safe spaces for conversation, understanding the nuances of trauma response, and the importance of self-compassion and healing.
Kelly's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of speaking one's truth. I chime in with some of my insights and experiences and aim to ask Kelly questions that can empower survivors, allies, and parents not to feel like they need to grapple with these experiences swamped in shame, silence, or isolation.

Masculinity... it's a word that stirs up all sorts of reactions these days. But what does it really mean? And what happens when men embrace their strength, leadership, and responsibility in a way that lifts themselves and those around them? Enter Ryan Michler, founder of Order of Man, a movement dedicated to helping men step up, take ownership, and lead in their lives, families, and communities. In this conversation, Ryan shares his journey from financial advisor to global thought leader on masculinity, the pivotal moments that shaped him, and why he's all about frameworks, networks, and action. We get real about parenting, personal growth, the shifting landscape of men's roles, and the difference between masculinity and the ever-controversial "toxic masculinity.'' If you’re into straight-talking insights on leadership, resilience, and showing up as your best self... this one’s for you.

Today's chat with Harps was a perfect blend of humor and insight, potentially topping my list of favorite conversations with him. After we enjoyed some light-hearted banter about his lavender keep-cup and my tendency to relate to food much like a frantic Golden Retriever, the conversation took an intriguing turn. I'd gone full grown-up for this ep and proudly put in a solid three minutes of prep, armed with thought-provoking questions inspired by 'Tools of Titans' by Tim Ferriss - a must-read, I might add, for those who haven't yet!

While I'm keeping Harps's answers under wraps, I can share that the questions led us down a path of resourceful tips, practical advice, and some meaningful life lessons. More than that, they paved the way for Harps to offer deeply honest reflections into the world of Harps as he's known it.

Recently, I had the pleasure of connecting with Cat Mahon in an unexpected way. Our Facebook paths crossed just prior to my first motorcycle track training day – a nerve-wracking experience for me. But there was Cat, a fellow enthusiast who I threw the invitation out to come along with me and she grabbed it with both hands. Just like that we were like kids in a sandpit, instantly besties. It got me thinking – why does making friends seem so much more complicated as we grow older? I remember giving up biking 11 years ago, feeling isolated without any rider friends, never considering the simple solution of nabbing myself some new shared interest friends.

Our conversation, initially about the challenges of adult friendships, naturally flowed into deeper territories of Cat's life. I learned about her journey through parenthood, and then something more somber. Cat had been a witness to a tragic, fatal incident – a coward punch attack that left an indelible mark on her. This experience catalysed her involvement with the Pat Cronin Foundation, a testament to how such moments can redefine our paths.

New friends are great, get out there and keep making them!

Michelle Lee is EXTRAORDINARY. She's an everyday life-enthusiast who's achieved remarkable feats in ocean rowing, being the first Australian woman to solo row any ocean. In her chat with me today she shares her experiences rowing across the Atlantic in 2018, a challenging 68-day voyage, followed by the even crazier solo row across the Pacific Ocean in 2022, a quick trip that took a mere 240 days... No assistance whatsoever, encounters with sharks, and a plethora of challenges, like running out of chocolate WAY too soon which sure isn't a selling point in my books!

As a fitness enthusiast but, as Michelle describes herself, not a natural born athlete it's her mindset, philosophies and attitude that landed with me most in this chat. I absolutely loved this chat as we riffed on embracing challenges, managing fear and anxiety, and the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone.

Wouldn't it be great to make a difference in this world? To have a cause that really gives you a sense of purpose and to be able to create an organisation that actually makes a difference to peoples lives. That's what 5-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker John Marshall did. He took off on what became a 'voluntouring' escape and connected with orphaned girls in India whom he realised he could not turn his back on. His filmmaking was shunted to the side, a seed was planted, money was raised and Teach Her was born. Putting 150 girls through education so far has defined 'success' for more than another industry award ever could for John. Today we talk about how he evolved the organisation from idea to reality and how the power of story-telling can connect us all with the ability to make a difference. 

Maybe this will inspire you to get out there and make a difference to that thing that tugs at you... Enjoy!

I think we can all agree, being bullied is sh*t. In fact, bullying injures the brain and can leave a mark on us long after the bully moves on. We might even feel like we become a bit of a bully-magnet. Evelyn Field is a practicing psychologist, an author and speaker whose expertise are highly regarded in this space. Evelyn was awarded her OAM for her initiatives for school and workplace bullying.

In this episode, Harps and I dive into a thought-provoking chat about our individual significance within our own worlds, while also recognising that we are, essentially, one among 8 billion people on this planet. A perspective that can be particularly grounding when we find ourselves catastrophizing our problems or challenges. Alongside this, we dig into our personal experiences with somewhat addictive, obsessive and sometimes irrational behaviors, from exercise to chocolate and the usual suspects. Our chat is both a reality check and a reflection on the common threads binding us in our human experiences.

Many of us are born with what some might call an attitude 'problem'. For some, this attitude lands us in hot water, for others, it’s smoothed over by life's experiences and expectations, but sometimes, just sometimes, it's this very 'problem' that catapults us to success. Justin Herald is a perfect example of this. His unapologetic attitude wasn’t just a personal trait, it was the driving force behind his entrepreneurial success. Embracing his so-called attitude 'problem', Justin printed this bold declaration on a t-shirt, kickstarting his first business venture that eventually raked in millions at its peak.

Dubbing himself 'the accidental business guy', Justin’s story is one of repeatedly falling into business opportunities, often motivated by (in his words) being pissed off. So, if you’ve ever felt like an outsider to the conventional 'businessperson' mold yet sense an untapped entrepreneurial spirit within, you might just want to hit play on this episode, and scribble 'How's that working for you?' in bold letters on your bathroom mirror!

Dr. Rob Bell is an expert in mental toughness. He's written 8 books around sport psychology and mental toughness, coached top level athletes and teams and been invited to speak to companies and organisations on how to harness human potential by developing mental toughness. 

We talk today about some of Dr. Bell's personal challenges and learnings over the past few years, including navigating health and relationship difficulties and the intricacies of business ups and downs - sure is lucky he's got some mental toughness in his toolkit!

But where amidst a conversation on mental toughness could there possibly be room for the concept of patience? Rob is much like me... and I can't wait to be patient - which just so happens to be the title of his latest book... and so in today's chat we delve into the handling of adversity, the significance of time, and finding a balance between urgency and patience. We touch on the importance of adapting to life's changes, finding contentment in the process, and the pitfalls of all-or-nothing thinking. (Oh yeah, I've been guilty of that one from time to time).

I bet you can't wait to wrap your ears around this chat!

You do the work, and do the work, and do the work. Amidst it all it feels like nothing's even moving, and yet it what seems like a single moment - you change. 

Bobby is back riffing about life with me and we're talking about the concept of learning, changing and evolving. The ongoing process that can feel like everything and nothing. The getting lost in the effort rather than surrendering to the process. 

And, what does it mean to do the basics savagely well? I guess you'll have to tune in and find out for yourself!

Ain't many blokes blowing out 101 candles these days, let alone ones as sharp as a tack and as witty as my Pop Cook! Safe to say, this episode is a pretty special one for me (and my family). What a gift to sit down, record his tales, and not only share them with the world but also etch them into history... something we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

As we talked, my mind conjured up scenes straight out of an old Netflix series. The kind of stories you read about or see in movies. Back when people traveled by horse and cart, and school was too far away for most kids to attend. Pop grew up on a farm and became a farmer himself. His father fought in WWI, taking shrapnel to the leg, and by the time WWII broke out, Frank (Pop) was just 15, already busy working the land and taking over the farm. He was 32 when television first reached Australia... 32 years without TV! Imagine that.

A hard worker, a husband, a father, a grandfather. The epitome of good character and integrity. One hell of a sportsman, and as he’ll tell you himself, at 101, he’s made thousands of friends and not a single enemy. So yeah, I’m pretty damn proud to call him my pop.

Hope you enjoy his tales as much as I did!

Why aren't women attracted to 'nice guys'? And, if we aren't attracted to 'nice guys' does that mean we're only attracted to the jerks? For many of us it sure can feel that way, huh?

Dr. Robert Glover is a marriage and family therapist, coach, educator and author of the book No More Mr. Nice Guy. Dr. Glover enlightens me on how to recognise and understand the fundamental flaw in the Nice Guy philosophy. Being a 'Nice Guy' sure sounds like a desirable attribute. But when we examine what it actually means and the gaping holes it leaves in our relationships, suddenly it's clear that the opposite of a nice guy isn't a jerk. And a 'Nice Guy' isn't necessarily all that nice. 

This is a great conversation around our relationship expectations and dynamics and one that just might get you thinking.

"Courage is knowing that it might hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing, and that's why life is hard." That's a quote I read recently that simultaneously made me laugh and made me nod my head in agreement. 

Today I'm chatting with the effervescent Kerryn Vaughan from the 'Get Off The Bench' podcast and we're talking all things embracing fear in the name of personal and professional growth. Now, Kerryn is someone I look up to because her energy and attitude is like plugging yourself into a high voltage power source. She herself has gotten off the bench and created a business and brand based around her passion, vision and what she loves most, and today amongst the accolades I'm throwing her way I'm also quizzing Kez on how she created and developed her business and brand intertwined with authenticity, vulnerability and personality.  

If you're interested in personal growth, overcoming challenges, and living life YOUR way, you're going to love chatting with Kerryn!

Have you ever found yourself in a sea of brave souls, feeling alone as you dodge the things that scare you? You're sure not alone in this. Fear is all part of the contract for us humans. Facing our fears isn't just inevitable, it's often the gateway to epic rewards. I once believed that courage meant confronting the things that scared others, not myself. Eventually, I embraced actual courage by leaning into my own fears, rather than telling myself and others stories about them. This led to growth, resilience, and, surprisingly, a fair bit of joy! In this ep, Harps and I discuss the advantages of embracing fear instead of running from it. Don't be scared, have a listen.
