Hardiness (n): the ability to endure difficult conditions. Our favourite Irishman is back quoting the stoics (okay, mainly Epictetus), talking about raising hardy kids, Pollyanna Optimism, the impact of our thoughts on our body, embracing what most avoid, choosing the narrow path and in general, telling us why we need to harden-the-f**k-up. As he does. Enjoy.

#1498 Hardiness - Paul Taylor

At the youthful age of sixty, Tony Mantz (Jack the Bear) is figuring out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. The guy who once tipped the scales at 170kgs and consumed eight litres of coke daily (216 teaspoons of sugar), while having an actual coke (cocaine) habit is back and we had a great chat about reinvention, possibilities, ageism, retirement, getting better with age, the psychology of age, starting over, building a new career (at sixty) and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1497 Starting Again (At 60) - Tony Mantz (Jack The Bear)

A hundred years ago (feels like) I read Stephen Covey's 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.' Habit 5 is the title of this episode and over the years this directive (to understand others) has proven to be one of the most powerful, relevant and helpful ideas across a broad range of situations, contexts and roles (for me). Not only has it been invaluable in my capacity as a Coach, Professional Speaker, Exercise Scientist, Business Owner, Author, and Podcaster, but also, it is the cornerstone of my PhD research; understanding ‘The You Experience' (for others). Keep in mind that 'to understand' does not mean to agree, align or condone; no, it just means to have (some) insight into the thoughts, feelings, drivers and actions of others. Enjoy.

#1496 Seek First To Understand (Then To Be Understood) - Harps

Turns out that Cameron Schwab and I have a few things in common; (1) we were born in the same year (2) we're both fascinated with human potential and high-performance (3) we've both worked at AFL clubs (him in much more important roles than me) (4) we've both dealt with ongoing self-doubt and imposter syndrome (5) we've both led big teams/groups and (6) we've both felt (and maybe, been) wildly out of our depth, while trying to appear totally in control (lol). In a nutshell, two average blokes trying to do better than average. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1495 Out Of Our Depth - Cameron Schwab

And no, I'm not suggesting you take up smoking! This is another fun and insightful chat with Dr. Michelle Woolhouse where we explore the healing power of love, kindness and connection. We also chat about the social status symbol that is ‘the busy badge’, owning up to being part of the problem, the stories we tell ourselves and the impact those stories have on our health, healing outside of the traditional medical model, feeling guilty about resting or having a day off, moving the metaphoric goal posts, the epidemic of discontent and lots more.
