- Dr Paul Wood — Life Provides The Right Therapy But Only If You’re Listening To The Feedback“Life provides the right therapy but only if you’re listening to the feedback. If you’re doing that right now – you’ve got an opportunity to learn and grow and come out stronger and closer to who it is, you want to be in your life.” — Dr Paul WoodClickbait would suggest that it's his '11 years in prison for murder' that is the story to tell about - Dr Paul Wood - but it is not!It's what Paul did with his time behind bars that matters and how he found a way to harness the darkness that lives within each of us and use it to help thousands of people find the light within each moment in life.In this podcast, Paul helps us frame up how we might feel our way through a world with Covid-19 and how the extra time we now find ourselves with might just be the opportunity to finally ask ourselves: What’s important now.A few facts about Paul Wood via (paulwood.com):👉🏼Paul went into prison a high-school drop out in 1995👉🏼By Paul's release in 2006, Paul had attained an undergraduate degree in psychology and philosophy👉🏼Today Paul Wood is a husband and father👉🏼FOLLOW PAUL ONLINEhttps://bit.ly/39KxkTq👉🏼PAUL AUDIO PODCASThttps://bit.ly/39I9nMH👉🏼PAUL VIDEO PODCASThttps://bit.ly/348ZmHjSHOW NOTES(coming soon)LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTDid you know there is an audio version of Please Blow My Mind on iTunes, Google Podcast and Spotify - perfect for your drive home from work or when you're pottering around the house.⬇️Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2vbGxWWSpotify: https://spoti.fi/2uy0ZRkAndroid: http://bit.ly/381zxsZAnchor.fm: http://bit.ly/3a5ETEX* * * * *CONNECT/SUPPORT WITH WILL✩ Instagram - http://bit.ly/397XVdK✩ Facebook - http://bit.ly/2Pp5xkc✩ Twitter - http://bit.ly/2TntHN4✩ Patreon - http://bit.ly/2vb4VIhNEW TO ME AND MY PODCAST?Hey there, thanks so much for joining me on my podcast journey.

- Vitale Lafaele — SAS Soldier: Tools To Be Great In The Worst Case Scenarios“You’ve got to breath because if you slow your breathing down and count how many times you breathe in one minute; it calms you and it allows you to actually think.” - Vitale LafaeleSometimes the unknown in life - just like the tough moments in life - reveal insights into the true meaning of life.Day 1 of lockdown should have been an uneasy day (acknowledging for some it was) full of anxiety. Day 1 for me was a day of connection with my Family and my podcast community.Ex-SAS soldier and former police commander Vitale (VJ) Lafaele joined me on the podcast for an open and authentic conversation about his life and how he kept listening to his inner voice telling him ‘he could be more’ even when the world around him said he shouldn’t.Vitale also shares SAS tactics and ways of thinking that will help all of us make better decisions in these very testing times, uncertain times.A few facts about Vitale Lafaele:👉🏼From the 300 applicants, Vitale was 1 of 4 people picked for the SAS👉🏼Left school and worked as a labourer with no qualifications👉🏼Roles including Detective Inspector, Commander Counter Terrorist Group, Commander Armed Offenders Squad, Commander Dignitary Protection and Witness Protection Squads, and Area Commander Counties Manukau.👉🏼FOLLOW VITALE HIS WEBSITE: IMPACTFUL CONVERSATIONShttps://bit.ly/33N04ty👉🏼VITALE AUDIO PODCASThttps://bit.ly/33PU6YJ👉🏼VITALE VIDEO PODCASThttps://bit.ly/33NVX08SHOW NOTEScoming soonLISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTDid you know there is an audio version of Please Blow My Mind on iTunes, Google Podcast and Spotify - perfect for your drive home from work or when you're pottering around the house.⬇️Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2vbGxWWSpotify: https://spoti.fi/2uy0ZRkAndroid: http://bit.ly/381zxsZAnchor.fm: http://bit.ly/3a5ETEX* * * * *CONNECT/SUPPORT WITH WILL✩ Instagram - http://bit.ly/397XVdK✩ Facebook - http://bit.ly/2Pp5xkc✩ Twitter - http://bit.ly/2TntHN4✩ Patreon - http://bit.ly/2vb4VIhNEW TO ME AND MY PODCAST?Hey there, thanks so much for joining me on my podcast journey.

- PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please Calm Your Mind
This podcast is normally about blowing our minds or sharing perspectives that help us see the world in different ways.
•
But these are not normal times and we are all adapting rapidly to that new reality.
•
Over the coming days/weeks/months/years, this podcast will aim to calm our minds by featuring interviews with people who have experience and knowledge in tactical ways of thinking that can offer us insights and strategies to building our mind to handle the disruption and change in this new world.
•
We are in a time where the chaos from within waits, watches and gently asks for permission to come out and raise panic. If you are like me, you can feel it in your bones. I think it's correct to be worried but we just can't be on edge for 24 hours a day, every day with no end in sight.
•
We have to find a way of articulating that things are serious and scary but not EVERYTHING is serious and scary. How do we do this? By asking people who have experience in controlling chaos in the mind, body and soul.
•
One thing I am doing is meditating every day (when I can) to own 10 mins for me. For those 10 mins, the world and this virus can wait. The app I am using for guided meditation gives me the option to share a free link to anyone for 1 month so use this link and take your 10 mins a day, for you.

- Daniel Habedank — The Mental Obesity Paradox"We're living a constant paradox. Scientifically we're living in a Universe that's full of stuff but is totally empty, it messes with you." — Daniel Habedank on Please Blow My MindWe know our bodies become overweight when we don't watch what we eat and find excuses not to move our bodies around. Ultimately we know where that ends up... nowhere good.Is it possible that just like our bodies become overweight, that our minds can as well? What would Mental Obesity look like and how would you know if you had it?In this episode my guest, Daniel Habedank joins me to ponder just how many of us might be suffering from carrying too much extra 'weight' around in our minds?We also get into a heated debate about what it means to fast our bodies or choose not to eat food when so many people around the world are starving and don't have the choice to eat.Follow Dan via his 'Sense and Zensability' Facebook page where you can find his scribbles and dribbles about his take on LIFE: https://www.facebook.com/DanZenInTheDarkIf you want to further explore an over-saturated music market with just a little bit more noise you can find '1DanBands' music here: https://youtu.be/Ogqe99alybgPlease consider supporting ‘Please Blow My Mind’ by donating $5 bucks per month for a verbal shout out on the podcast or $25 bucks a month to receive EXCLUSIVE Patreon supporter-only content: https://www.patreon.com/pleaseblowmymindSubscribe and watch the video version of ‘Please Blow My Mind’ on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/PleaseBlowMyMind1 hr 3 min
