#124 I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed on Alexx Stuart's Low Tox Life podcast. She asked some awesome questions and it was truly a great conversation. With all the uncertainty going on in the world right now, I felt this conversation would help so I want to share it with you. The questions she asked me: How doing a plant based medicine journey changed the direction of my life. You've explored so many aspects of the inner work… what did you find and how has that showed up in your life? (For me the big question is: what is consciousness and what it means to be human?) In the past 14 months you've run five sold out retreats called "Live In Flow". Why are they called Live In Flow and what can someone expect when they join you to do that work? You took your 75 year old mum to the retreat in January. What happened? Once people have returned home… what are some of the practical things that help us integrate ourselves back into life, but forward in our own personal development: How do people make a success of that so it doesn't feel like 2 days later it's business as usual and that inspired feeling they felt is 'over there'. Let's talk about the impact of memories / negative things that have happened: does the body hold memories of the past? And how does it affect us? Sometimes we're so desperate to change but we lack a basic framework and you've got four pillars you like to teach people: What are they?

#123 My awesome guest this week is Scott Carney, an investigative journalist, anthropologist and New York Times bestselling author of 'What Doesn't Kill Us'. I invited Scott on to the show to talk about his new book 'The Wedge: Evolution, Consciousness, Stress, and the Key to Human Resilience'. And with everything that is going on in the world right now, there couldn't be a better time than now to have this conversation. In Scott's own words: In 2011 I wrote an article for Playboy about the dare-devil ice guru Wim Hof with the intention of showing the world that he was a charlatan. But it didn't work out the way I had expected. I tried his training and was surprised that the method worked. So instead of debunking him, I became the first journalist to take Hof seriously. I was something of an evangelist for Hof's method of ice baths and breathing techniques and did some pretty crazy things--like walking up Mt. Kilimanjaro without a shirt at a pace that the U.S. Army predicted would kill me. What Doesn't Kill Us told the story of my journey. As Hof became an international superstar, I began to wonder how much further I could push the lessons I learned with him. I wanted to do more than see how our bodies reacted to the cold, but in every environment. The sensations that we feel under stress—in heat, cold, sensory deprivation, while we're afraid—mirror physiological changes in hormones, metabolic function, and memory formation. Those reactions usually all considered autonomic functions, meaning we don't have conscious control over them. However, since we can decide what environments we inhabit, we actually have the power to change our underlying programming. The key is to paying attention to physical sensations and then modulating our emotional responses. The result is a concept that I call "The Wedge." You can think of The Wedge as a way of creating a little space between stimulus from the response. Over the course of two years I started to develop new environmental training techniques. I confronted fear at a cutting-edge neuroscience laboratory at Stanford and learned a dance that involved throwing kettlebells between partners where one false move could either break a bone. I met masters of mental misdirection in Latvia who took me through a five-hour sauna, based on their traditional medicine system. I experimented with breathing techniques that took me to the cusp of transcendence; I floated in sensory deprivation tanks, and ultimately ended up in the Amazon jungle with a shaman who promised me either madness or universal truth. About Scott Carney: Scott Carney is an investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney has worked in some of the most dangerous and unlikely corners of the world. His work blends narrative non-fiction with ethnography. What Doesn't Kill Us was a New York Times bestseller; other works include The Red Market and A Death on Diamond Mountain. Carney was a contributing editor at Wired for five years and his writing also appears in Mother Jones, Men's Journal, Playboy, Foreign Policy, Discover, Outside and Fast Company. His work has been the subject of a variety of radio and television programs, including on NPR and National Geographic TV.

#119 My awesome guest this week is Brent Sankey. He is a boxing coach, ex front-line police officer, and a Live In Flow retreat attendee. At first, you would think Brent is the last person to be looking at this work, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He hit rock bottom 12 months ago, and he openly shares why he dove head-on into this work and the difference it has made in his life since. Enjoy! In Brents own words: At 14yrs old - parents separated. Remember thinking about suicide and voice said 'dont do it' who will look after dad and brothers high school didn't enjoy and got the whole 'I dont care' and 'never look back' mentality. Bounced from job to job Joined Qld Police in early nighties had nearly six years. Saw a lot however never really felt that anything that happened or what I saw affected me. All my issues were already firmly planted in me. I just knew in my heart I didn't want to stay. Fast forward to various jobs/businesses seemed to always fall into the same issues of conflict and drama. Spiritual lady - split me in two - tired soul March last year was big turning point - broken - realised I help others, but can't help myself Booked the retreat before doing the course - trying to get the phone to work and your podcast popped up and said 'a few more spots left' Came to your work - 4wk course and August retreat opened me up. Second retreat I 'really tapped in' to something. Be vulnerable that is the key, take action, take responsibility and keep getting up.
