"BECOME" Podcast Episode 9

 

Happy New Year! Chris and Mark reunite after their Christmas break with a personal favourite podcast of Chris's (despite his lack of voice) to kick start your 2018: Are you following your passion and how can you follow your passion as part of a fulfilled, balanced lifestyle. And doing so doesn't necessarily mean everyone is destined to be the next disruptor, or Steve Jobs, with an idea, book or program to change the entire world. Changing a few peoples world, including your own, is inspiring plenty. Tap some quick, practical tips on how to identify, follow and ignite your passion. With Mark fresh back from Europe, we even managed to weave some words of wisdom from Ann Frank into the equation.

Lauren Johnston (of 'Ell Jays Fitness') lives by a motto, very much aligned with Chris and myself, that to get different or desired results takes a shift in mindset. A female specialist in the idea of total wellness; excercise, nutrition and mind, I took the opportunity to meet with Lauren on the Gold Coast and drill into some tips on her habits for success, the challenges for females specifically looking for total and wellness and her collaboration with mental health. It's kind of nice to have a female counterpart to play with in a podcast... still love you too though Chris and see you later in the week ;)

"BECOME" Podcast Episode 8

The long awaited Episode 8 has been released! No we aren't talking about Star Wars :p Although that is also happening soon, for now MC & CP are back with another Podcast instalment! The first question to ask is where do you draw your motivation and inspiration from? These days there is more motivation to be accessed than ever before, with one of the most popular things on social media being the posting and sharing of "motivational quotes". This comes as no surprise, even before popularity on social media, the masses have always been excited by the prospects of improvement, achievement and winning etc. But more importantly than where you draw inspiration or motivation from, is what you do with it. Mark and Chris chat about all things motivational, inspirational and actionable!
