Dr Phil Carson is a pharmacist by trade and an expert in diabetic care, specialising in natural alternatives to traditional medicine. He has orchestrated the health transformation of hundreds of people, and following a huge financial setback (thanks to the GFC), he has gone on to reinvent his own health, his business and his life.

Today, we discuss his fantastic book, "How to Live Until You Die" and the 7 keys to living happy, healthy and whole. This is a practical, no-nonsense episode, with real-world takeaways we can all use.

What would an 81-year-old man tell his 40-year-old self? Today, I chat with my dad - a living testament to the fact that you don't need much to have a truly happy and fulfilling life.

One of the biggest killers of relationships and people is stress, and money problems are often the catalyst.

From a very young age, we’re taught to consume; to aspire for more, to out-do the Joneses. We’re pummelled with marketing messages every day that tell us we’re not good enough, happy enough, fancy enough or cool enough. And we’re told the only way to fix it is to spend our way there.

Strangely, despite our obsession with it, few people are comfortable talking about money - especially with their partner. We devote about a third of our waking hours to the pursuit of it, yet few of us ever reach consensus on how money should be managed in a relationship. This is dangerous on multiple levels, so today, I want to explain why you need to have the talk. Often.

One of the biggest obstacles most of us solopreneurs face is getting people to know, like and trust us. Harder still, is converting those people into customers.

I believe my first guest on the show, Tom Schwab of Interview Valet, has cracked the code on this.

Oh, and Tom's giving away an awesome freebie near the end of this episode, too, so listen in!

If you're in a financial hole, or the thought of investing for your retirement sees you reaching for alcohol (and not because you're celebrating your tremendous wealth), then this episode is for you.

If there's one thing that characterises middle-age, it's a distinct lack of time! On this episode, I talk about how I found time for myself - not for work, but just for me. This is not a session on productivity but rather, personal renewal.

They say money won't make you happy, but many of life's challenges come with a price tag attached to them, so financial security isn't something to be shunned. This brief episode could save you years of fumbling in the dark, and is recommended listening for anyone who aspires to make and keep more money.

As a typical type-A personality, goals have always been a part of my life. Maybe yours, too. But I'm starting to question their ability to deliver what we really want - especially over the long term.

Reinvention during midlife isn't just possible; it's a must. In fact, this is the very BEST time in history to be middle-aged or older. In this episode, I reflect on how I came to realise that the things I loved when I was younger represented huge opportunities to me today.

Sometimes the greatest epiphany comes from acknowledging the obvious, rather than resisting it. This episode is based on a MidlifeTribe post entitled, "Middle Age and the Power of Midlife Reinvention."
