  • Ep. 59 Out Of Class - Identity, Disorder and Energy

    This is a great episode! 

    Matt shares his adventures at Cactus beach and the potential of surfing with sharks. This sparks the conversation of when are you so pumped that you should be scared but you are not. So, Matt, it is being in the water and being free, Ben it is his morning run, despite injuries it is a liberating feeling, and for Gines, it is race day, even under prepared, he is so pumped and excited for the journey of the race. 

    We chat about the notion of Identity. What it is, what we are attracted to in our friends and partners. 

    Most importantly what do we do if we can't do what is part of our identity, running, surfing, presenting, active...

    When you can’t do what you use to do – how do you deal...


    They explore the thought process that, everything moves to disorder and that our natural state is insanity, not sanity. As you know the natural state is for the human body to break down. Therefore, it requires energy to bring things in order. It requires conscious effort. 

    Things all around us are changing constantly and we have to be okay with that. We can't stop the ocean, but you can learn how to move with it.

  • Ep 56. Out of Class - Camping, Effort vs reward & noise

    Happy New Year!

    This is our first episode of the new year.

    We dive into a range of topics we touch on the notion and importance of getting away from the noise. The fellas chatted about their recent camping trip and touched on their upcoming one for Australia Day. 

    We live in a noisy world with lots of distractions around us. It is easy to get sucked in by the noise. They chat about either it being a generational thing or just an individual thing of certain things being put in the 'too hard' basket. When the effort is not put in. Often the easy option is to say no, "I won't go here, or commit to this and that.'' Often the effort is worth the reward, but you have to be able to put yourself out there.

    We going the value of believing in other people. The affect that it has on them is truly unknown, BJ Palmers quote, " We never know how far-reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow."

    This rang true with Robin Sharma, where one of his teachers showed some belief in him, and he has gone on to great things and become a best-selling author.

  • Ep. 54 - Out of Class - Ramping up, Excuses and People's Why

    Let's start with an apology for the short hiatus. Firstly we chose not to air an episode we recorded. Listen in to find out more! Secondly, Life has been quite hectic. 

    But here we are! 

    This week we chat about the challenges in our world and how it is time to ramp up and double down in these current times. Traditionally this is a time that Australi starts to slow down. However, this is a year where doubling down will help reap benefits while others will only start to gain momentum early next year. 


    The fellas chat about the excuses coming out of lockdown had led to zero behaviour change. This can be linked to people losing their 'why'.

  • Ep. 53 Out of Class - Catching sunrises, Talking to strangers and Connection

    Gines, Matt and Ben get together again for an Out Of Class edition episode. 


    This week the fellas talk about the flow of their days, in terms of if they are morning people or late nights type of people. Interesting chat about productivity, optimism, and general mindset. 

    Ben shares the need to catch every sunrise and how it fuels him for the day. He is catching nearly every sunrise in the week and 3 to 4 of them are outdoors. Gines shares the morning sense of peace before everyone else is up. Where everything seems to a little bit slower and quieter. 

    Matt talks about his friendly skateboarder demeanour, where he will strike a conversation with anybody anywhere. He sees it as an opportunity to have a connection with another human. It is a playful character that he brings on and suggests for people to try. 

    Gines chats about the analogy of trying to strike connection and they are not hitting the ball back. Are they not hitting the ball back or did they miss it? 

    Ask the question,lean in and be genuinely curious and listen to the answer to strike the connection. The fact we noticed each other can go a long way and giving your smile to someone else. The acknowledgment can mean a lot. Especially in a time of isolation and loneliness.

  • Ep. 52 - Learning from Niro Dayalan - Fingerprint of your soul

    Gines is joined by guest Niro Dayalan in this week's episode


    Niro is was once upon a time a CIO and led a corporate lifestyle, however realised that was not a match for him. Currently, Niro is a business owner, Freedom coach, Life strategist, speaker, and cousin to Gines.

    They chat about how Niro's company, Unkonventional came about and how the name says it all. Niro shares his story of how his own life followed an unconventional path at every turn even from a young age. At a turning point, he realised it is not about fitting  into a conventional life but rather to belong. 

    Gines explores the question of even when people are unhappy in their current situation most people choose not to do anything about it. The fact is that we are used to it. 

    Niro explains his teaching of dharma. Dharma in transcript means fingerprint of the soul. Dharma is about getting in alignment. Niro chat to us about getting into alignment. Step one -  being done with the current life experience, step two - is learning and personal development, step three - discovering your identity and do the character work, Step 4 - is while you are doing the character work you discover your gifts. Finally leads to the step five - learning why we are here and what we are here to do. 

    they also talk about the cost of decisions, not only cost of something now, but the cost of it in a week, a month, a few years from now and what does that really mean. A little 1% change now, can change your trajectory. 

    Niro is launching Unkonventional University that will be launching soon. Unkonventioal University is a personal development program that works on things that really matter. 


    "It is only those you can see the invisible, can do what seems impossible."

  • Ep. 51 Out Of Class - Defining moment, Narratives, Drifters, Plodders, Decision Makers

    Matt, Gines and Ben get back together this week for another Out Of Class chat.

    They chat about segregation with age. At school, there is clear boundaries. They chat about, when you get older the gap between ages reduces.

    The separation gets less when that transition happens to adulthood. This happens quicker when you are swimming with adults. Much like learning a new skill or upskilling. You get better when you are surrounded by people around you.   

    Matt shares when he was younger he thought he knew everything. The typical 18-year-old bravado, then a switch occurred. Ben explores is it an age thing or is it a defining moment. 

    Ben talks about the time he fell out of the palm tree. Until then he felt unstoppable, where the world revolved around him. It was a saga in getting Ben to hospital in Fiji. Post fall and crushing his heel, it was a dark time. There was an identity shift as the recovery took longer than expected. The moment realising that he was not in control was devasting. 

    Gines chats about his defining moment being two fold, when his brother died in a car accident when he was 14. That experience made him grow up quite fast and realise that tomorrow is not a given. Coupled with chasing a degree for the money then realising there is another way to do life here. 

    The fellas chat about buying into a narrative. Clinical psychologists say that this needs to be driven by fear and a sense of unease in their world. Secondly, there needs to be a lack of connection to purpose. When you take lack of meaning plus fear is the perfect storm for a stronger narrative. As people, we are needing some sort of certainty to hold on to. 

    Currently, in our world, there are Drifters, Plodders and Decision-makers. We all can choose which one we want to be. But not choosing you are also choosing.
