April 06, 2023 016: Thoughts on David Goggins' recent podcast interview with Aaron Singerman on Chips n' Caviar
In this episode, we dive into the Chips n' Caviar debut interview between David Goggins and Aaron Singerman. Recent posts on instagram by David led me down an interesting investigation into the background of this podcast interview, and uncovered some interesting aspects of the Military, US Navy Seals, and workplace culture in general. David Goggins is a Retired Navy SEAL and the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training, Army Ranger School, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. In his podcast interview with Singerman, he provides his usual unfiltered view of the world, with factual evidence, and debunks some of the myths you may have heard about him. Following the review of the podcast, I share some of my own experiences in relation to some of the issues Goggins' has had to face.

March 25, 2023 007 Real Alpha Talk: Discussion on Special Forces and Culture
In this episode, we discuss the recent arrest of a Special Forces soldier in Australia, and draw some lines in the sand for people to think about, ponder, and apply in their own workplace, business or life. We do not agree with the public release of the former soldiers details, and we discuss aspects of this in this podcast - but this is not the topic for the podcast itself. What we aim to do in this episode is draw some correlations to the corporate world and workplace in general, and help the audience (you) understand where some lines need to be drawn before catastrophic circumstances happen.
Backstory:
A decorated former SAS soldier shown in a Four Corners story shooting an Afghan man in a wheat field has become the first Australian serviceman or veteran to be charged with a war crime under Australian law. The former trooper, 41, was arrested by the Australian Federal Police at Jindabyne in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains this morning, after a years-long investigation into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan. In a statement, the AFP said it would be alleged he murdered an Afghan man while deployed to Afghanistan with the Australian Defence Force (ADF). We dive shallow into the Brereton Report, and some aspects of the case, and then walk through some general life type situations that people may come across regarding this type of behaviour. Given that this is an ongoing court case, we cannot comment further. We do strongly advocate for our military veterans, and want to show our support for current and former serving veterans. If you want to contact us regarding this podcast, please do so by contacting me directly via email [email protected]
Info for listeners:
We don't discuss this ongoing course case in depth, but rather touch on aspects of it so that we can better understand our own workplace situations and give you something to take into your own workplace or business.

February 16, 2023 005 Real Alpha Talk: Interview with Abigail Townson | Voice Over Actress

January 25, 2023002 Real Alpha Talk: True Alpha Personality or Sigma? | Angle of Attack Personality
In this Episode, we invite Abby Townson onto the Podcast to challenge the traditional ideas of what we think of as the ‘Alpha’ Personality.
We touch on the following topics:
Defining the traditional alpha persona and its characteristics. Dialogue on what people typically associate with an alpha, and explain that this is not really “alpha” nowadays.

The effects of toxic masculinity in our workplaces / experiences (let’s have dialogue on what this actually means, or if it’s going too far to even talk about it) and the importance of emotional intelligence in what we do in our roles.

The rise of the "beta leader" and the benefits of a more collaborative leadership style. Is this the true alpha now? We’ll explore this further and provide some of our own personal examples.

Share examples from our industries and how the alpha persona may not always be the best approach for success

The role of women in leadership and how the traditional alpha persona may apply to them
