Wow.

What an episode and always a great conversation - of which we can never seem to make it short!

Gary and I had quite a few extensive conversations on Instagram, and this is our first podcast chat.

We cover many topics and go deep into some dark corners here and pull back the covers on a few things that are a little bit and sometimes a lot uncomfortable - which is what you'd expect from a conversation with Gary!

We talk about the avoidance of admitting or identifying a problem, and the culmination of adding years to the problem. How societal acceptance of some behaviour plays in further to our bargaining. How and when to build your success (not in the crisis moments!) and the peace of knowing who you are and what you stand for so that you find your people rather than trying to fit in with the wrong pack.

We dive deep into the cost of addiction, and Gary brings his usual show stopper here on where the cost sits and who is responsible. Spoiler alert, it might be you.

How we can all sit in destination happiness and why that's not helping you or your loved one.

And knowing that change is hard, yet also simple and it takes commitment.

Let us know what you think!
