Whether in sports, work or life in general, ‘turning right’ as a metaphor for exploring unknown territory intuitively resonates with audiences, regardless of their background. Many conversations and broad media attention while Kay was publishing his first book have confirmed that people are seeking a life beyond the daily hamster wheel. 

I am a champion ultra-marathon runner (fastest-ever Australian at 24 Hour World Championships), corporate leader (ex-McKinsey consultant and senior leader at Woolworths and Coles), entrepreneur, keynote speaker, executive coach and author of Turning Right – Inspire the Magic. First and foremost, I’m an explorer. One day I turned right at my garden gate, just to realise that I’d never done that before. It was an image of how I was leading my life: full of control and not curious what was on offer beyond my self-imposed boundaries. Now, metaphorically speaking, I ‘turn right’ to inspire the magic.

Men are no longer just interested in their physical appearance. The focus on male aesthetics has shifted drastically over the past decade and now, we see men’s health taking priority.

There is a major shift occurring for what people consider as masculine beauty standards; this time around it's not all about having six-pack abs or being able to attract women—nowadays, there is more of an emphasis on good mental and emotional well-being and lifestyle. Scott Henderson, Editor and Content Director of Men's Health joins us this week to catch us up on how the standards have changed, what has been involved and how lockdown has meant a pivot in training and routine.

Scott has always been in pursuit of a healthy and active lifestyle by combining passion and career. Following a degree in Sports Science and International Studies, Scott has worked in the sport, health and fitness industries in Australia, USA, Spain, and the UK, with a focus on content production & education. 

Now as the editor and content director of Men’s Health Australia, Scott is able to share his passion for the industry with the wider international community through education, creative content, events, and storytelling. 

Scott has produced content for the global Men’s Health Network, whilst also making a regular appearance as a health and men’s lifestyle expert on Sunrise, hosting events and panels, and contributing to digital and print publications including nine.com.au, WHO, and Women's Health among others.

So, what is 'Sober Curious'? Luke Mathers, author of Stress Teflon is in the studio this week to talk about the way we look at alcohol today, habit loops and some interesting facts about how these are affecting us.

Luke Mathers is a conference speaker and the author of Stress Teflon. 28 years in business have taught him that stress isn’t going away any time soon. If you want better health, relationships, and success, you need to get good at stress.  

As one of the original directors of Specsavers in Australia, Luke was part of the biggest retail roll-out in Australia’s history. 100 stores in 100 days. His practice was the biggest in the country and set global records that were previously unheard of.  

Luke retired for the first time at age 31. After transforming his UK Specsavers practice (increasing turnover by 350% in just three years) Luke returned to Australia to relax and put his feet up. It wasn't long before he realised, he missed something... STRESS!  

Helping people become Stress Teflon is his mission and, as the book says, “it’s good being you when stress doesn’t stick.”
