I'm so excited about this interview with Luke Mathers (www.lukemathers.com.au) the author of Stress Teflon. This is a must-listen as Luke has so much wisdom and I always get insight from every one of our conversations.

Luke Mathers has a rare magnetism that occurs when you meet truly authentic people. He is someone that cares about the people he meets and he shows it. Luke is a husband and father and true Australian visionary who refuses to conform and believes in doing good and making the world a better place.

Growing up with three older sisters, he learnt at an early age that anything was possible. With a love of innovation, he has owned more than a dozen businesses. He is an inventor, author, and philanthropist who is constantly looking to find better ways to improve the world around him.

Luke started an optometry aid service in Vanuatu and has provided thousands of pairs of glasses to people who were devastated by Cyclone Pam. But allowing people to see wasn’t enough for this ambitious, go-getting Aussie. He is also a founding shareholder and board advisor to Nevhouse, a company that builds low-cost housing in third-world countries out of recycled plastic. Luke is a true believer that stress can be good for you if you learn how to utilise it.

In this episode, Dr Craig discusses how important it is to be present when you are with people. There is no doubt distractions are part of our lives, BUT when we are with others, it is vital for them and us that we are FULLY listening. We all know this, but we so often don't do it.
