There's no doubt that Danny Green is a legend of Australian sport. He's the only Australian boxer to win FOUR world titles across three different weight divisions, and he's also represented his country at Commonwealth and Olympic games level. But that's just the start! Danny is highly respected in the community for his philanthropy and his passion for supporting people from all walks of life. Since 2012 Danny has dedicated himself to (and self-funded) his anti-violence movement, the Coward Punch campaign, and has successfully prevented countless senseless and unnecessary attacks on helpless victims. Since Danny started using the term Coward Punch, it has rapidly replaced ‘one-punch’ and ‘king hit’ in the Australian vernacular used to describe these often deadly attacks, and it's even now used in the courtroom. This conversation is full of laughter as we get some amazing insight in to Danny's friendship with Anthony Mundine, his parenting style and the times in his life that he's been the most terrified (spoiler alert: that story is hands-down the funniest part of the episode)!

Physiotherapist, pain scientist and ultra runner, Donna Urquhart, has studied the subject of pain for years. On this episode of the Empowering Leaders podcast, just a few days before she departs for Antarctica to smash the Guinness World Record for the longest ultramarathon in a polar region, Donna tells us how pushing through pain can unlock more of our potential. Passionate about the importance of sport in the lives of children, specifically girls, Donna reinforces why we need to be teaching coping skills in youth sports and tells us the crucial steps to fostering a supportive environment for young people to compete in. In this conversation, you'll hear how Donna is aiming to raise 1.5 million dollars by running across Antarctica so she can sponsor programs that support females to stay in sport. Her insights into the world of pain, the latest research and what you need to be able to push through it will inspire you, and just wait until you hear how and when she discovered her love for running!

Ivan Cleary, the Penrith Panthers triple premiership winning coach. In this conversation you'll learn pretty quickly that Ivan is incredibly humble and equally full of wisdom at the same time. He tells us the full story behind his gut-wrenching decision to leave the West Tigers in 2018 with two years left on his contract. Ultimately, trusting his heart helped him make the call and, you could say, three premierships later, he's never looked back! Ivan shares about the work being done on the mental agility of his team, and goes into detail about following the path of the All Blacks and their psychologist Dr. Ceri Evans. He breaks down the simplified method they're using behind the scenes and how it has helped the Panthers reach the pinnacle not once, not twice but three times in a row. The proudest of Penrith men, you'll hear Ivan skilfully self-reflect on his early coaching career, his home of Penrith, and how important his community is to their club. He speaks from the heart about his family, and lets us in on what it means to be both coach and father to the undeniably brilliant Nathan Cleary.  Show notes In this episode you'll hear Ivan & Luke talk about: Our episode with Gus Worland - Saving lives, one mate at a time Our episode with Nathan Parris - Tapping into the potential of Emerging entrepreneurs The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, a book by Patrick Lencioni Dr Ceri Evans Red Blue model  Learn.

In May 2020, at the end of a crystal meth-fuelled bender, Dani Laidley was arrested. In conversation with Luke Darcy she tells us exactly how that arrest came about, as we shine a light on the self-leadership Dani taps into at each twist and turn. While in custody that night, Victoria police officers took and distributed photos of her with makeup streaming down her face. The invasive photos made front page news, publicly revealing Dani to the world for the first time. Prior to that moment, we had all known Dean Laidley, the champion premiership-winning footballer with the West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne, who went on to be an outstanding senior coach at North Melbourne Football Club for seven seasons. We are in awe at the courage and mental resilience it took for Dani to essentially live two lives while excelling in the brutal, alpha competitive world of professional AFL football.  From her gender dysphoria diagnosis, to her inspiring work as an advocate for the transgender community, to her aspirations to one day coach in the AFL again, you're going to love this conversation with a woman, who despite all odds, is thriving, equal parts proud and humble, and leading the way for so many.

Jeffrey Cole's lifelong insight into the future of all things digital communication makes for eye-opening conversation. In this episode, Jeff labels ChatGPT as the greatest disruptor to society since the printing press and personal computer came on the scene. He describes the four key pillars of Elon Musk and, given the breadth of work Elon Musk is doing, says we can't afford count Elon out of anything. Jeff also talks microchip manufacturing calling it the most important and indestructible sector in the global business world. Throw in a deep dive on TikTok, the Chinese government's influence, and the heartbreaking impacts of social media on our youth and this is another unmissable episode of Empowering Leaders.
