When that person up ahead in the right turn only lane puts their blinker on way too late and starts to merge across the solid line towards your lane, what are your thoughts about that person?

When you you distinctly recall asking your partner to empty the recycling bin yesterday, and now it’s a jenga pile of jam jars and plastic packets - what are your thoughts about that person?

Just to speculate, they’re not positive thoughts are they?

However - do you realise that what’s happening there with your judgment about the other person is one of the core thinking biases which can destroy relationships, and lead to unnecessary, possibly dangerous conflict with strangers?

Luckily it’s one of those things that once you know it’s there, you can actively start to work at it - and in this episode Osher talks about identifying and dealing with this trap of thinking which often sits at the core of all relationship discontent.

Marlee Silva has achieved some incredible things - and some of the biggest lessons and inspirations in her life have come from directly from the NRL itself.

In this episode, Marlee reveals those key lessons, as well as talking about role models and mentoring, the mindsets that have led to her success, why there's nothing like State of Origin, how both the women and men's NRL games have changed - and how they can change us too.

When you look at Australian politics, you’ll know that preference deals play a big role in who eventually ends up in power.

But preferences can put you in a powerful position too. 

In this episode Osher talks about how you can make a preference deal with yourself to win a better day today - particularly if you're feeling terrible about something that 'should' have happened or something you 'could' have done...

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear.

But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'.

Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Osher talks about what it’s like to host the Real Housewives Of Sydney Reunion. The short version is: it’s intense.

How intense? Well, arguably one of the most emotional gigs of his TV career, leading to one of the most fascinating physical reactions he’s ever had from doing his job.

This is what you need to know to make sense of the election and what it should mean for us all going forward.

Nine's chief political editor Charles Croucher unpacks the key elements that decided this election, whether Trump played a role, what the liberal party must learn and what the Albanese government has to take action on

He also speaks more broadly about the importance of a strong opposition, the place of kindness in leadership, and just how much the way we get information on politics has changed.

Something happened on the other side of that election result which I would really love to talk about.
Something which we’ve I’ve noticed missing among all the forensic dissection of how the libs lost this or the greens lost that.
There’s a massive, glaring fact which I haven’t seen discussed yet, so I thought I’d put it out there.
It’s got to do with what we’re being told we are vs what we actually are.

Sometimes it can feel like everything is out of our control - that things happen to us rather than for us or with us. But what if instead of fearing change, we could know that we were ready for it, and that we could harness it deliberately to steer us toward the life we want?

This is exactly what this chat between Osher and Andrea Clarke will help you do.

Andrea is a work futurist, speaker and author of two books: 'Futurefit: how to stay relevant and competitive in the future of work', and her latest 'Adapt: mastering change in four steps'

Here, through practical tips and tools and in the example of her own remarkable career, Andrea show us how to look for signals that change is coming (or needs to come), how we can have agency no matter what life throws at us and the possibilities being adaptable opens for us.

There’s two kinds of people when it comes to holidays.
Those who are more than happy to spend two straight weeks napping by the pool, and those who struggle with suddenly not having something to do.

Osher is most definitely in the latter cohort.

In this episode he shares how over time, he’s had to learn a lot about what to do when he’s not working. Mostly because when he goes too hard in either direction (work or play) - it’s not a good time for me or anyone.

This episode was recorded live at SXSW 2024 - and it might be a very different example of what a politician sounds like from what you've been hearing recently.

Here, Allegra not only reveals to Osher and an eager crowd the realities of political life in Canberra, the best and worst things about the job and why some other politicians are focused on the wrong things, but also the importance of empathy, having hard conversations, how she personally stays mentally strong and how we can focus more on people to find solutions. 

Special thanks to Wolfgang Günsberg for help with the intro and outro of this episode.
