Tune in to hear me on the OTHER SIDE of a podcast convo!

I was fortunate enough to feature as a guest on Runnez Radio Podcast with Rick Mirabella recently, to talk all things Mindset & Mental Health.

It was fantastic to have a platform to expand a bit more on my personal story navigating through depression, anxiety & traumatic brain injury that took place from a bar fight back in April 2015.

I certainly don't have all the answers though a large part of my life in the past 5 years has been deeply exploring anything that relates to optimising the body, mind & psyche of humans.

I was first passionate about learning in this field solely to help myself - I was in a NASTY place mentally and emotionally, and I was looking for ideas to help feel 'normal' again.

That soon became an obsession, and pretty quickly I was committed to share powerful ideas, strategies and philosophies that may help other people navigate their own journey towards fulfilment and a sound state of mental wellbeing.

In this chat with Rick - who, btw is a legend - we casually explore different lessons learned along the way and provide tips & strategies to dramatically improve how we feel on a daily basis.

We share a few laughs throughout too - I suppose that's what you get when you put 2 'big' personalities in a room together with a couple of mics!

Enjoy guys.

Some important realities of 'being a human'.

This is not 'rar-rar' stuff, but could possibly be SUPER empowering for you, as you learn how to build more motivation and understand a bit more about why you do what you do, think what you think, and feel what you feel.

For any and all listeners! Hip-hop heads and haters alike...

This is a super fun ep I recorded while really vibing after listening to J Cole's new album... Something different for this podcast platform but I share for 2 reasons:

1) There is some interesting perspectives here on how the genre of music impacts & enhances your personal growth journey (IPO anyway)

2)It's a big part of my world, and feels authentic to share this with all you legends that tune into this show.

Plus I want to offer some entertainment value with this content where possible too. It doesn't have to ALWAYS be so serious right? Enjoy this ep? Share it on your socials and tag me!

I love the world of personal development.

Geez, I'm putting my hand up to be a poster-boy for the space these days...

BUT - there are 3 traps I see people fall into along their journey, which leads to the process of self-improve becoming a 'chore' and depleting of energy... when it in fact should be the opposite.

Learning new ideas and approaches should light you the fuck up!! So why doesn't it some times?

Quick little ramble that I'm sure you can make some sense of in this episode. Enjoy :)
