Episode 25: “Distilling Flourishing: Positive Education, Sustainable Leadership, and Bringing Well-Being Alongside Academics” with Justin Robinson


Listen Later

What happens when wellbeing becomes the heart of education — not an add-on, but a way of life?

 In this uplifting episode, Justin Robinson — Co-founder of The Wellbeing Distillery and former Director of the Institute of Positive Education at Geelong Grammar School — joins Dr. Scott Parsons and Jason Viyar for an inspiring exploration of leadership, wellbeing, and human flourishing.

Together they trace the story of how positive psychology and positive education transformed one of the world’s leading schools — and how those same ideas continue to ripple outward through teachers, parents, and leaders worldwide.

Justin shares the origin of The Wellbeing Distillery, a venture that “distills the science” of wellbeing into everyday practice, and his new reflective project, My Manifesto, helping individuals and teams clarify purpose and live with alignment.

He also introduces the Wellbeing Operating System — a practical, whole-school framework that integrates leaders, educators, students, and families into a shared culture of care and contribution.

This episode is a masterclass in hope, humility, and human connection — a reminder that flourishing begins not with perfection, but with the courage to grow together.

Guest:
Justin Robinson — Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne, global board member and treasurer of the International Positive Education Network (IPEN), co-founder of The Wellbeing Distillery, and co-author of My Manifesto.
