Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄... 🏆❤🔥 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝘆"

Damian Porter is a former New Zealand SAS Commando in D Squadron and a former Australian Police Officer who teaches Special Forces Combatives and Street Wise Self Defence to Mums, Dads, Teens, Elderly, Elite fighters and Government Agencies, and all those in-between!

Also known as the "How Not to Die Guy", he pulls from his vast knowledge and experience in the field after 23 years and pays it forward to help others keep safe - he teaches everyday people how to appropriately look after and protect themselves from everyday threats.

Damian teaches how to upgrade and downgrade responses depending on the situation and how this boils down to proper training and exposure to danger in a SAFE and FRIENDLY learning environment.

Since bad guys don't play by the rules, Damian stresses the need to either walk away from a fight or protect yourself immediately and eliminate the threat. The key is situational awareness and it is this skill that he passes on to others.

His passion is “ Stopping the bad guys from doing bad things- to GOOD people”... He has a life of service to others and therein lies his passion.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄... 🏆❤🔥 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: Shaun Sargent of Co-Founder of STAIT. 

With Shaun and Sam being absolutely awesome caring purpose-driven humans... STAIT has come on board as a sponsor of the "Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show - Resilience For Men"... and sponsoring my book "RESILIENT MAN - FIREPIT"... which will be released later this year.

Shaun and Sam, the Founders of Stait have been incredibly supportive both of my work with helping Men build resilient lives. 

In today's episode I chat with Shaun about his own resilience story... 

How his upbringing and life experiences instilled strength and values that have helped him get through challenges in business, relationships and personal growth.

STAIT, Shaun and Sam are strong supporters of Veterans, including the Veteran Games... We share more about that in today's podcast.

Approaching his 50s, and busy with a demanding corporate career, Shaun was aware that ageing might start to affect his performance day-to-day.

Whilst most people might consider this a normal part of the aging process, Shaun chose differently. Why give up on feeling and being your best just because you're getting older?

As a busy CEO, Shaun had always been determined to outperform himself each day. 

Having failed to find a product to support his health in the way he needed, it was his wife and co-founder Samantha "Sam" who suggested he should create something for himself. Which is exactly what he did.

Enjoy today's episode, legends!

GOLD ON TODAY'S show...🔥❤️ ------------------------------

🏆 Shaun shares his story of being born in the rural part of England, he was exposed to hard work by both his father and grand father. And was exposed to people doing epic shit from an early age. 

Shaun's Mum passed away when he was 17 years old... which changed his life from a happy family life... to this Dad struggling with not knowing how to grieve... which lead to issues with Shaun and his father... and Shaun leaving home. 

It shaped Shaun's life from an early age and that no-one was coming to save him.

🏆 Shaun went onto university... then became an accountant,  having his own practice. Got married and had children.  

🏆 Shaun talks about how he found life at the bottom of the bottle at the age of 35 years old, his marriage breaking down and him and his wife separated. 

🏆 The owner of a company that Shaun was working with asked him to attend a health event in the United States. Shaun met Sam in Vegas at an event, they became friends. And didn't catch up again until a bit later... which is a pretty epic story... 

🏆 I asked Shaun to share that story of what led him to getting together with Sam (Shaun and Sam have been married for 12 years now)... Mainly because I was curious as they're a super aligned and amazing couple. :)

🏆 Shaun and Sam started traveling for work together... You can watch or listen to the podcast for the rest of the details. 

🏆 Shaun shared how the universe gives you what you need, not what you want.

🏆 We talk about the inner strength and fortitude that Shaun and Sam have as individuals and together... Communication, their vision...

🏆 Shaun talks about relationships and if they nurture each person in the relationship... and is the unit stronger than the individuals.

🏆 I ask Shaun about his passion for health... he grew up with physically strong Men in his family...And spent years being around weights and gyms... 

🏆 When Shaun started playing American football, he attended old school bodybuilding gyms...and studied all the bodybuilding greats. He felt like he belonged there.

🏆 We discuss how STAIT came about... This is a fantastic story of how things fall into place at the exact right time. 

🏆 Shaun talks about testosterone, health and performance. Stress and cortisol levels. 

🏆 How STAIT is trying to educate people on taking care of your testosterone, stress and health.

🏆 Working with young men in special forces and Veterans with PTSD to reduce stress and cortisol levels.

🏆 Supporting Veterans and Veteran Games.  

🏆 Resilience and American Football and the mentorship Shaun received when he played. And how it shaped him, surrounding his life with people doing incredible things. 

🏆 Resilience in Shaun's own life now. And his approach to it. And remembering how great we really are. Taking care of yourself. And the drive to be the best you can be.

🏆 Self-acceptance vs judgement... And choosing to see the possibilities and adventure in life in building strength and resilience. Holding yourself accountable.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄... 🏆❤🔥 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: Barry Zworestine, Combat Medic, Psychologist, Author “Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing- an operational manual for current serving and veterans transitioning into civilian life”. 

Barry's a registered Psychologist with 20 years experience providing compassionate and relevant support to Australian Veterans and their families impacted by military service. 

As a Combat Veteran Barry uses his operational experience creating language, providing tools and insights to facilitate effective transitioning into civilian life. 

In 2022 Barry published his book “Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing - an operational manual for current serving and veterans transitioning into civilian life”. 

Barry's core vision is that no Veteran should have to come home to die.

Side note: I absolutely loved this episode... We covered a lot of ground...Whether you're currently serving, a Veteran, a family member, or in the field of supporting those who have served... I highly recommend you watch or listen to this episode. 

Barry's insights, experience and love for supporting his "brothers" is freaking beautiful. 

GOLD ON TODAY'S show...

🏆 Barry shares his story of being born and growing up in what was then called Southern Rhodesia. Playing a lot of sports, then went onto University, spent 4 years becoming a teacher and decided that wasn't for him.  

🏆 Barry was then called up in 1976 to the Rhodesian Army, at 23 years old, did an advanced medic course, and was transferred to his unit on the Mozambique border and was allocated to a group of three others, High Density Force Operations, flooding areas in 4 man sticks and patrolling from 7 to 14 days, in areas where terrorists walked from 30 to 300.  

🏆 On leaving the Army, Barry went back to University and became a Hearing and Speech Correctionist, working in that field. Then headed to Australia, working with Austistic children and travelling, learning about Australia and country life.

🏆 He left Australia, went to England, worked for a mountain bike company... Went to Israel, started and built from the ground up the British Council English Language Center, with 5 other people. Where Barry started doing Marathons and cycling through the desert on his mountain bike.

🏆 Barry left and then went onto to study Psychology, completed a 2 year Masters, and internship. And got into Ultra Marathons.

🏆 In 2000 Barry came back to Australia. Started a private practice, and was contracted to work with Veterans. And has been working with Veterans for 20 years. And learning from them. And learnt that there was so much wisdom in the territory of Veterans that wasn't being drawn on in the healing of Veterans.  

🏆 Barry developed a way of talking to Veterans, that's based on operational territory, supporting them as they're transitioning into different situations in life, empowering them so they have these skill sets. 

🏆 In the military they say "never leave anyone behind"... Barry helps Veterans not to leave themselves behind. Go back get yourself, bring back the positive qualities and heal the wounds, then combine the positive qualities with the civilian. 

🏆 We talk about Barry's incredible book: “Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing- an operational manual for current serving and veterans transitioning into civilian life”. The book invites you to go on a journey to both operationalise your territory, define your map and orientate your compass as you learn to transition into civilian life. 

And embodies the core lesson that all change requires the ability to become comfortable in the face of discomfort, and help guide you forward as you bridge towards a stronger sense of identity and purpose as well as form a strong connection with those you care about. 

🏆 Barry and I talk about identity. And feeling stuck in that. "Is your backpack weighing you down?". And discusses settling the shame that Veterans don't like to talk about... so they can feel freedom. 

🏆 We talk about the challenges Veterans experience when transitioning into civilian life. And how Barry helps Veterans powerfully navigate through that.

🏆 Barry shares his insights into the small steps. And the importance of finding and choosing discomfort that's manageable, creating stillness... And gives the example of a Sniper.

🏆 And gives amazing examples translating so much of what we discussed into operational language. Including how your body is your weapon and how are you taking care of it.

🏆 Earning the respect, listening, understanding and trust of Veterans when supporting them in Post Traumatic Growth.

🏆 Why "avoidance" works against thriving. 

🏆 We discuss depression, grief, despair, feeling defeated, suffering, pain, darkness "the long dark night of the soul"... And moving and stepping out of that. 

🏆 Living the healing of your body. Have emergency protocols when you're feeling like you're out of control eg... anxiety, panic. Barry shares some techniques and insights into this.

🏆 That in the military tribe, you don't have to be alone. The importance of ensuring you have connection and a tribe.

🏆 Rediscovering your fire and resilience. And "What's next?"... And how this is so dynamic.

🏆 Barry speaks about Open Arms... Veterans and Families Counselling.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄... 🏆❤🔥 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: Marnie Cooper, Founder of The Upspring, A Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Nationally Accredited Mediator. 

Marnie and I met on LinkedIn and had an incredible conversation about the challenges that Men experience during separation. I loved Marnie's approach to supporting men and women throughout separation to achieve the best possible outcomes for their children. And invited Marnie onto the show. 

Observer of many separations, and as a parent who has gone through separation herself, Marnie understands the emotional toll and stress that comes with separating...and is highly skilled at helping parents navigate separation with courage and confidence so they can come out the other side with the energy and new skills to build a future for themselves and their children.

GOLD ON TODAY'S show...

🏆 We talk about how people need to be given understanding, that they're simply human, going through a challenging time. 

🏆 How emotions can impact communication and be misread, when people are feeling afraid and confused about what's ahead of them. The fear can come across from hysteria through to anger and shutting down. 

🏆 How separation can affect your identity...everything that you thought your future was going to be... is now "gone"... and you're afraid of the unknown.

🏆 The importance of preparing well... People cope better emotionally if they know what the process is. Know what's expected of them... what the issues and outcomes are.

🏆 Marnie talks about negotiating openly, with honesty, transparency and integrity. Giving a rationale for what they're asking, and communicating with more clarity.

🏆 Marnie shares how she spends preparation time with both parties, she's impartial as a mediator. 

🏆 How couples separating can often want the same thing, but are each coming at it from a different perspective. Especially for their children. Why it's so important to have good communication... and support around feeling the guilt around separating.

🏆 We talk about when a man has been the protector, the financial provider for so long, and has built his life around his wife and family...when that is longer there, the struggles he experiences. And when his former partner moves on... and the feeling of being "replaced" by someone else.  

🏆 We talk about the impact it has on children and fathers staying strong with their connection with their children. Even if their ex is trying to drag the kids into it.

🏆 The importance of focusing on what's best for your kids... And setting examples for your children, leading by example, for your sons and daughters... To help break the cycle for the next generation. 

🏆 The benefits of getting into mediation early. And creating a separation or divorce team. For healthy conversations and for a better future for yourselves and your children. And bringing more peace and joy to your children's life.

🏆 Surrounding yourself with friends and people that are supportive of you and that aren't going to fuel your fears with their negativity. 

🏆 The Resilience that Marnie experiences within herself and in her work as a mediator and also the resilience and courage in her clients... How much she values that in them... and creating a safe place for them.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄... 🏆❤🔥 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: Tony Knight - The Dog Listener is internationally renowned for both his incredible transformational work with Dogs and their Owners ... And as a Comedian with his "Mad Dogs & An Englishman" tour! ...Buckle up for some laughs 🤣 and some fantastic resilience insights!  

Since 1999, Tony has helped thousands of dog owners all over the world solve problem dog behaviour with simple techniques that use no force, pain, domination, drugs or gadgets. He has also trained other people from over 30 countries to become "Dog Listeners". Tony's skills have been featured on TV in several countries and he is a regular radio guest all over the world (even in French!)

🏆 We discuss Tony's own personal resilience story and insights both as a Dog Listener, as an entrepreneur in business...And as a comedian. 

🏆 How Tony got started in Dog Listening in 1999 helping his Mother build and succeed in Dog Listening, through to facing adversity... The valuable lessons he's learned and how that led him on a new path, to further success in so many areas of his life. Including traveling the world helping dog owners and their dogs in English and French, working on TV... Along with his book "Think Like A Dog". 

🏆 Tony shares the fundamentals behind understanding your dog and resolving behaviour issues in a way that actually makes sense to the dog and brings more fun to your and your dog's life. Canines have understood each other for thousands of years; Dog Listening is the way for humans to tap into that understanding and use it to make sometimes dramatic improvements in a very short time. And how it changes people's quality of life and connection with their dogs and shows you how your dog thinks.

🏆 How Tony includes human psychology in his Dog Listeners course... Because we often base our identities around our dogs and their behaviour.

🏆 We talk about the resilience that's built as a comedian...how it's one of the most extreme art forms.. how Tony got started in comedy and how he combines his ability to help humans to have the best possible relationship with their dogs... and their connection with dogs... into his comedy shows.   

🏆 Tony speaks about how when you're on a new or different path that... and the impact of self-acceptance and knowing that you're simply starting out... and to just keep going... not to get stuck in other people's perceptions or people pleasing. He shares examples and stories of that from his own life.

🏆 The power of becoming more comfortable with rejection and how you can allow that to build resilience and strength.

🏆 How Tony's Dad and Mum separating when he was a kid impacted him to step up early as the "man" of the house. And to do everything he could to help protect his Mum and Sister and help them succeed... and the adversity he faced around that in his 30's.

🏆 How an incredible story and case study of a dog with the worst separation anxiety that Tony had ever seen, led to him meeting his amazing partner of 12 years "Hayley"!

🏆 How letting go of control in business and life, when challenges arise, has led to the most fantastic opportunities for himself and Hayley.

🏆 The importance of raising people up, while also taking responsibility for yourself and how you feel, think, and behave.

Quote from Tony... "Dogs don't worry about the past or the future, they live in the present, that's something we can learn from dogs"

For over 30 years Bob has been successfully showing entrepreneurs, leaders, and sales professionals how to communicate their value and accelerate their business growth.

Although for years Bob was best known for his sales classic "Endless Referrals"... it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver, that he co-authored with John David Mann that has created a worldwide movement.

The Go-Giver itself has sold more than one million copies and been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of The Most Motivational Books Ever Written... 

AND was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time.

Bob is the founder of The Go-Giver Community Network, an incredible online business community created by and for Go-Givers.

Bob is an advocate, supporter, and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.

He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and served on the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption & Clinic in his town of Jupiter, Florida.

𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 💥 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘:

  🏆 Bob talks about his insights into "Giving"... and where his open and genuine approach to living life and doing business came from. And how he experienced and witnessed that sustainably, successful people - mentally, emotionally, relationally, socially - that made the most money, genuinely, and from their heart... provided the most value to others. 

🔥 I asked Bob about his very calm and confident nature...Where does that come from? Bob shares how as he's got older he's become more confident...and worries less about things than he did when he was younger. And how adopting that older mindset when you're younger can help ground you.

🏆 How challenges in Bob's life have supported his own growth and built upon his resilience. His insights into resilience... including the ability to dust yourself and get back up again... Getting past the "no's"... Re-framing "no's"... 

And self acceptance and acknowledging that it's ok that the "no's" don't feel so good. Letting that feeling pass through you... So you don't have to fear the "no's".

🔥 What "drive by mentor" means... People that come into our lives at the most unexpected times...That we may, or may never, speak to or see again. And how they just happen to say the exact thing we need to hear, and are ready to hear, at that moment. 

🏆 The "one golden nugget" of advice from a “drive-by mentor” that totally shifted Bob's perspective and played a big role in his success... 

..."if you want to make a lot of money in sales, don't have making money as your target...Your target is serving others... When you hit that target your reward will come in form of money". 

🔥 Bob shares that great Salesmanship is about the other person, that you're trying to bring value too. It's about another person's life being better, just because you're a part of it.

🏆 We discuss how when you come at sales from scarcity, it feels uncomfortable, because it goes against your core values.

🔥 "Giving", focusing on providing value, doesn't mean that you're not "receiving". 

💥 Why it's important to study prosperity.

🏆 Bob shares The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success...And how it applies to "Giving" and "Receiving"....

The Law of Value - Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

The Law of Compensation - Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.

The Law of Influence - Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.

The Law of Authenticity - The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

The Law of Receptivity - The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving 

🔥 We discuss that it doesn't matter what your financial situation is, we all have value to provide.

🏆 The Golden Rule of Business and Sales..."All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like, and trust."

🔥 As a strong Resilient man... Bob shares what resilience means to him... Whether we're men or women, we can learn from others and learn from our own life experiences... In many ways, as amazing human beings, we are much more alike than we are different.

🏆 Bob shares how we can implement and apply "The Go-Giver" way... and asking "how do I provide value to this person?" "Is this going to bring value to this person". 

And that value is subjective and why it's important not to assume that what we would find of value, is what someone else would find of value. 

And why it's important to pay attention, ask questions, listen... so we can add value. And touch the lives of others. 

🔥 Bob shares his insights into "authenticity" and acting congruently with your values.
