Osher’s conversation with Nazeem Hussain got him thinking about how responding to aggression with kindness can drastically change the outcome of an interaction.        But how can we assert ourselves, communicate our boundaries and still show grace and understanding in the face of rage?

Responding with kindness in the face of aggression (even when you’re getting screamed at)

Laughing with people feels so good. In recent times, there has been a lot of talk about using comedy to change people’s minds. It is easy to forget how cathartic comedy can be. Nazeem Hussain is one of Australia’s most beloved comedians.
Osher and Nazeem caught up while they were both performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in April. Nazeem was fasting at the time and so they discuss how fasting can be a form of devotion, how responding to racism with peace has unexpected effects and Australian comedy.

Responding to racism with peace, fasting as a form of devotion and the catharsis of comedy with Nazeem Hussain

In this episode, Osher talks about how in times of stress his “to do” list grows from an achievable series of tasks into an overwhelming mountain of improbable, high-stakes ideas.
Perhaps you can relate? As the list gets longer, the stress mounts, the distraction gets worse, the quality of work plummets, your effective ability to complete any of those tasks dwindles and then you start to put other things on the list that make up for the things you’ve now missed on the list. ‌ Thankfully there’s a way around this. The “To NOT do list”. Enjoy writing yours. ‌ Take the time to figure out your personal values with a test like this one ‌ To leave a voicemail, get in touch and get every episode ever head to oshergunsberg.com Hosted on Acast.

To Not Do List

Sometimes without realising it, we lapse back into old behaviours. Sometimes we’re hot and we’re cold. Getting dressed to do a workout and returning emails instead. Arriving late to an event with no clear reason as to why. Behaviours we’ve worked hard to change, sometimes rear their ugly heads.
This is what happens when choices we make in a hot state (In the heat of the moment) differ from intentions we have in a cold state (when we are able to reflect on the alignment of our actions and our values). It’s when we’re in a hot state that we make poor decisions that often lead to shame spirals, frustration or negative outcomes.
Osher reflects on making choices when we’re in cold states in the hope that we can stay on track and choose things more in alignment with our original intention.

Struggling to get stuff done? Same here!

We take our daily showers for granted. Orange Sky co-founder Nic Marchesi created a mobile laundry and shower for homeless people. The initial idea was to help people experience the dignity of cleanliness and make things just that little bit easier. But what happened while everyone’s belongings were being washed was arguably even more important.
Orange Sky have created a new podcast called ‘The F Word’. Each episode shares real-life experiences of people experiencing homelessness and hardship, along with the perspectives of Orange Sky’s dedicated volunteers. You’ll hear about the origins of Orange Sky and meet their very first “friend,” learning how simple conversations and clean clothes can restore dignity and hope.
Osher and Nic discuss the misconceptions about experiencing homelessness and hardship, the importance of chatting to people and the inherent dignity of being clean.
