The conversation includes reflections on loyalty, learning from negative experiences, and the significance of personal attributes in professional success.

Mark Beretta, sports reporter on Sunrise, shares about his 13th Olympics, water-skiing championships, parenting challenges, tearing his quad, toughest athletes mentally, inner bogan, and being the hardest worker in the room.

Harps and Tiff discuss the psychology of ageing, challenging societal norms on personal growth. They emphasize defying age-related stereotypes through intrinsic motivation, social connections, and continuous personal development. The importance of mindset and community connections in promoting vitality and health as we age is highlighted.

David Gillespie and the host discuss workaholism, deriving gratification from work, and avoiding burnout. They touch on topics like multitasking, success, handball, brain health, aging psychology, social media addiction, and investing time wisely.

Ironically, changing your body doesn't have as much to do with your body, as you might think. Mostly, because your body doesn't make bad decisions. Or tell lies. Or wait for the magical right time. Or rationalise bad behaviours and outcomes. No, the human body is an amazing biological system that simply responds to (deals with) the choices, behaviours, rituals and habits of the owner-operator. You and me. The human body doesn't choose booze, junk food, drugs, laziness, toxic habits or a crap lifestyle. No, it just tries to survive it. Being 'out of shape' is not a body problem; it's a person problem with a body consequence. Forty years at the coal-face of fitness and health have repeatedly taught me that if a person can't manage their mind, they can't optimise their body. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After decades of searching, Brendan Watkins discovered that his birth parents were a Catholic priest and a nun. To say that his story is fascinating is like saying that the ocean's a bit damp and Antarctica can get chilly. As someone who grew up in a Catholic bubble, this conversation was totally gripping for me. Deception, corruption, denial, pathological lying, neglect, coercion and devastating secrets; this story has it all. Amazingly, Brendan has come out the other side a compassionate, wise and beautiful soul. Enjoy. brendanwatkins.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Honestly, this chat was mayhem. It's fair to say that Patrick let himself, the team and the entire geek community down with his tardiness, his lack of preparation and his fraudulent behaviour, in trying to take credit for the work of a fifteen-year-old work experience kid. He's now on his first official warning and I may even have to dock his pay. What's fifty percent of zero anyway? Other than that, we had fun. This episode ain't for everyone but then, neither am I.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It sounds cheesy but it's true that every day is literally an opportunity for you to change something (big or small) about your life; health, relationships, lifestyle, habits, behaviour, decisions, attitude, career and even, your day-to-day operating system. Maybe not in a profound way (at first) but every day you have the opportunity to create momentum and get those metaphoric wheels turning. Just to give you a heads-up.. I do get a little coach-y in this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the Paris Olympics looming large and me being immersed in PhD research, I thought today would be a good opportunity to re-visit a conversation I had with three-time Olympian, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, five-time World Championship Gold Medalist and five-time Commonwealth Games Gold medalist, Bronte Campbell. She’s ace. EnjoySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If l'm statistically 'typical', l've got about twenty years to live. If my life is a one-foot ruler, I'm about three inches from the finish line. And if I'm like the majority, one or two of those inches won't be much fun. Obviously, I'm aiming for more than twenty years and lots more health and fun, but when you're sixty (or any age really), it doesn't hurt to think about how you might optimise your remaining years (be they five or fifty in number). And while we can't stop chronological ageing (well, there's one way), we can influence the way we age functionally and biologically. This episode (with Tiff) is a chat about all that.
