Let It In with Guy Lawrence

#37 My awesome guest this week is Ivo Pirisi who is a research biologist and founder of Tasting Sardinia. We've been exploring the Blue Zones of Sardinia for the last week and Ivo has been our guide. In true Sardinian style we recorded this from a shepherds hut whilst drinking a glass of red wine :) Here we discuss the centenarians' lifestyle, their diets and the fact that do not even know what stress is or gluten free! About Ivo: Ivo Pirisi is the mind and engine of Tasting Sardinia. He is a professional photographer, research biologist, and aficionado of Sardinian food and culture. Ivo started pursuing his passion for sharing the cuisine and traditions of Sardinia by giving cooking lessons to small groups of tourists who really wanted to discover the true Sardinia and so chose its food as a means of entry. His passion continues to grow with the growth of this innovative partnership. Ivo sums up his dream with this statement: "The spirit that drove you towards us is probably the same spirit that pushes us towards you. In the end, we all crave the same thing: "to feed the soul".

#32 This week my awesome guest is former athlete and now life coach, mentor and author Trevor Hendy. After being one of Australia's most famous sporting icons and surf lifesaving ironman, what he thought was his purpose in life turned out to be his secondary purpose... and through this he found his purpose. If you find yourself soul searching or need some inspiration, this is defiantly a podcast worth listening too! About Trevor: Trevor Hendy works in the field of Personal Truth and Wellness. He is a Life Coach, Mentor, Author and Wholistic personal trainer who specialises in helping people discover their own answers for why they haven't yet created the life they truly want. Trevor is a former Professional Athlete, reaching the pinnacle of his sport, winning several World Ironman Championships in the sport of Surf Life Saving. With many World series and Australian championships under his belt, it was his ability to constantly find his way through the most challenging of Ocean situations in the most pressure cooker of moments that first showed him as a man who knew how to slow things down and complete any task thrown at him. It was later on, when Trevor starting coaching and speaking to large groups, that he revealed that no matter what was dished up in front of him, his personal mantra was always, "These are my perfect conditions". Many who have attended his talks and workshops have walked away relieved, having realized for themselves that when it comes to any type of personal change or challenge, "the conditions are always perfect". It doesn't matter what is thrown at you, it matters most how you deal with it. Learn more about Trevor Hendy: trevorhendy.com Learn more about Guy and Let It In: guylawrence.com.au
