Bring Back The Warrior

My final solo podcast for the season, I take you into a raw and relevant teaching from another brother that I had to take on recently. The value of taking stock in the process pretty much speaks for itself, if we can just sit in an uncomfortable space even for just a short while we will grow, learn and be better people for it.

I also take a check back at some of the highlights for the season and what was prominent, hold on and enjoy sitting and taking stock in the process!

Jeff Hardy is a man who just keeps on giving, a former NRL player with a stellar and lengthy career. But it doesn't stop there for Jeff he has continued his strong application to his purpose into coaching and now mentoring young Indigenous boys through the Clontarf Foundation. 

Through guiding young fallas through the journey of life, encouraging them to get educated in both worlds and pursue their love of sport and fitness Jeff has helped establish a formula that works. 

Connection to culture is no doubt a key feature in his approach to learning, listen in for his words around turning up, doing the work and always focusing on your ‘response’! Through the good, the bad and the ugly one thing we can control in the ups and downs of life is our response. 

A yarn to savor, enjoy this one!

PTR- Patience, Tolerance & Respect, the value system I have embraced to move forward in life. To achieve, to grow and be a better version of myself. Accountability, vulnerability & reflection of our own behaviours is an important facet of self healing, remembering that those around us will also benefit from the work we do on ourselves. 

As a whole people have not had all the knowledge, guidance and nurturing to lean into this kind of awareness however in this time now we all have the opportunity. We can make the small steps to encourage and make the change as a community and society at large, if the world is going to be a better place than for me it all starts with learning how to embody Patience, Tolerance & Respect! 

Peace!

Charlie Jia is today's guest, a proud Indigenous man with a solid story of his own.

Speaking through the lens of his experience, Charlie found his way to nurturing men to good health and wellbeing through his own reality check. This is a powerful and really important message of ensuring we are all accountable for our own health status.

I thoroughly enjoyed holding space with this man, a champion of men’s health on many levels.

Today I unpack my journey of running a marathon, I unpack my ‘why” along with the process prior along with some of the science and application it takes to get it done.

This is the longest episode to date, but I needed it to demonstrate what it takes to dig deep into the mind, body & spirit. Marathon’s shift and change peoples lives & I can safely say that it has for me to be a better version of myself.

Enjoy the grind of stepping out the process of 42.2km.

Hold on for the ride as I bring Indigenous Marathon Project Graduate Rhett Burraston into the space. We both have just completed 42.2km runs in other words marathon runners.

This is an epic dialogue dedicated to the ‘life application’ to running, hear how the process was, the trials and tribulations and of course the incredible milestones of long distance running. There are so many learnings, metaphors and messages along this journey, the formula, commitment, time, energy and sheer tenacity it takes to get it done. 

This one is a marathon in its own right to unearth and inspire others to take the long road to success and accomplishment.

Today I unpack all the inward thinking, reflecting, processing & monologues that go on when we look towards self. Looking at our value systems and how we create a safe environment around us. From the people we connect with to the information we consume it's all a process. 

I speak to what I have had to undertake by looking and observing my behaviour and actions, holding myself accountable to my purpose and what I am setting out to achieve. Patience, tolerance and respect to self, others and the environment we are a part of will help us stay on the line of self truth.  

This episode is my accountability to some big milestones in my life I am building towards. Enjoy!

Barry Fernando is a proud Gamilaraay man who is dedicated to helping his community. His gentle caring nature sets him apart in his approach to the way he works as a healthcare practitioner. 

Barry has also undertaken the incredible Red Dust Healing, now he helps communities engage in this important initiative working through the concepts of trans generational trauma. 

He also is an active man of culture and language, ever respectful and humble, truly a sound example of helping change the status of Indigenous people through holistic ways of healing. 

I found this yarn to be a great journey, along with gaining a better understanding of how we can all take respectful soft steps through Red Dust Healing for the greater good of our people.

All the concepts of becoming a leader and knowing what our roles are in our community is mostly an ongoing continuum. Today I double down on how to define our roles, look at self & understand that helping other leaders prosper is the true definition of leadership. It can be an overwhelming feeling out the front leading the charge or calling the shots, but never forget the person next to you that is helping you along and taking the leap of faith as they are also so crucial. When we strive to become better versions of ourselves, we not only heal individually we also heal collectively.

Soak this one up and make sure you observe, give gratitude & always be in the act of helping others grow, because in turn that will create the change for the generations to come. 

Peace!

Today's interview is a one hell of a ride with the solid brother Clinton Shultz, he is the founder of Sobah Beers a non alcoholic bush tucker inspired beverage. An amazing Aboriginal Entrepreneur is not just where it stops for Clinton he also has traveled the world and is a chef by trade.

Currently undertaking his PhD with Griffith University, Clinton is focusing his research towards holistic well-being for members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce. Clinton's research interests extend to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social and Emotional Well-being, men’s well-being, institutional discrimination, and cultural and interdisciplinary education in tertiary settings. 

This yarn was so valued from a place of holding space and demonstrating that Indigenous people can be the healers to our own sickness, we have always had the knowledge base and knowhow and it's now time to action all that to provide a pathway for the future generations. Enjoy this yarn, it's a deadly one!
