    Episode 202 | Harnessing Ambition | Justin Nelson
    Oct 30 2023
    A lot of us feel that burning ambition - wanting to make something of ourselves, our career, our business and our lifestyle. Having a burning ambition is one this, knowing how to harness it and turn it into something valuable is quite another. My guest in this episode is here to provide a bit of inspiration and some solid lessons from his journey in harnessing his ambition. Justin Nelson is just one of those guys who seemed destined to have enormous success in business. He started making huge money - at a crazy young age - in his father’s business. He out-shone, out-worked, out-thought and out-earned all the older heads. But he didn’t linger there for long. He stepped out on his own and went big. Despite the cracking pace he’s set for himself, I found Justin incredibly thoughtful, reflective, honest and self-aware. If you’re looking for a bit of can-do inspiration - this is the episode for you.

    Oct 2 2023
    We all know that as we get older, more tied to our desk or workbench, our rate of exercise - even our basic movement - plummets to scary low figures. You might notice it in your step count if you have a fancy watch. Lots of authors and speakers sing the praises of regular movement - the importance of staying fit and active through all stages of life. But none of them, that I know of, are approaching the challenge in quite the same way as my guest in this episode. Brett Lillie is a chiropractor, a speaker and the author of a brand new book: Rediscover Your Athlete Within. Brett’s message, I must stress, is not limited to those among us whose youth was spent a swirl of sporting glory. It’s for all of us. Brett encourages you, me, anyone, to tap into the more active, enthusiastic, fitter, more competitive person we used to be, and update that view, making it a positive relevance for us today. Brett wants us to rediscover your athlete within!

    Episode 195 | How To Master Your Mindset | Darren Fleming
    May 9 2023
    Master your mindset to do less and achieve more. Darren Fleming is concerned that popular self-help literature focusses too much on developing the muscle of discipline and creating habits to guide our behaviour. He fears this leads to us playing whack-a-mole with distracting thoughts and destructive behaviour. By being a slave to discipline and healthy habits, Darren says we’re setting up our day to be one long series of battles within ourselves. Instead, Darren says we might be better off learning how to deactivate what drives us to distraction so we can have greater inner peace, control and ultimately happiness in our day. Darren wants us to master our mindset. Master your mindset to do less and achieve more.
