Roll With The Punches

Resilience guru, Paul Taylor is back for part II of building resilience...   #^$% me, don't we need it more now than ever (especially if you live in Victoria, Australia like us)

Former British Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Exercise Physiologist,  Neuroscientist, Nutritionist and a student of Psychology = Paul knows a lot of sh*t.  

What I love most about Paul is firstly his obsession will clinically proven research over fluffy bullsh*t, and secondly his say-it-how-it-is method of delivery.

If you haven't heard his first part on resilience in episode #17 then scoot back there for a listen first.  If you have heard it, I trust you are fluent and well rehearsed in the first 4 practices he laid on the table for us and you're ready to dive into the next 5 he covers in todays chat.

Yeah, I do my fair share of cyber-following Paul around (and in real life when we aren't in lockdown) and catching every workshop, seminar and event he throws out there...  Let me tell you, you are going to LOVE this episode.

Bobby Cappuccio is world renowned in the fitness, health and coaching industry.  Co-founder of PTA Global and one of the leading presenters you’d be familiar with from the likes of Filex and numerous international health and wellness events.
Bobby grew up to face and overcome the most gut-wrenching adversities himself, yet he has risen above and beyond them to become one of the leading Behavioural Change Coaches, Speakers, Authors and Educators in the world.  It's kind of mind blowing to be able to call such an incredible human a friend of mine!
In this episode we dive deep into all things around behaviour change, motivation, values and social contracts and Bobby shines a light on how you might get some clarity around this and use your environment to create the change you’re gunning for.   I LOVE dissecting these topics with Bobby...  his knowledge and intellect combined with this passion and humour makes for my favourite banter and I have no doubt whatsoever that by the end of this podcast you will wholeheartedly agree.

I met Meg Foreman in the dog park...  where all good friends meet.  One day she went back home for a 'holiday'.  She was gone quite a while, in fact.  Returning a couple of months later yet, little did I know Meg had taken off for brain surgery.  Yet, little did I know Meg had digested the words of Dr Charlie Teo that told her quite clearly that this surgery was high risk and if he ran his surgical knife a mm off course inside her skull then she would quite simply 'bleed out on the table and die'.

Meg left for her supposed holiday (or so I thought) with a contingency plan in place... in case that happened.  But after 7 years of misdiagnosis and countless, often useless medication it was a reward that made that 'risk' pale in comparison.

What I love about this chat is how even I, right now as we sit recording this, didn't really know how serious, how recent, how confronting and how challenging her recovery was.

We laugh a lot.  She's a soft, genuine, empathetic dog-mum that underneath it all holds a level of strength and courage that is sending goosebumps across my skin as I write this of her.  Thanks Meg for sharing your story for the first time on my far-from-private forum.

I've known Christian Varney a few years now... right back in those days when I would have laughed at you if you were to tell me I would be a personal trainer one day, in fact!

He's undoubtedly my favourite and most up-to-date-with-current-knowledge allied health dude.  As you can imagine I've crossed paths with more than a few...  there are a handful I wholeheartedly trust without question when it comes to my health and the health and function of my clients/athletes.

Christian holds a double degree in Chiropractic care with further studies in Paediatrics, Pre/Post Natal Care, Clinical Nutrition... In addition to this he completed 400 hours of study in Functional Neurology with the Carrick Institute which he incorporates into his chiro practice.

Today I’ve begged, groveled and pleaded for Christian get in front of the mic to talk all things running.  Right now there’s a huge number of you reading this that would tell me you can’t run or why running is bad for you...

By the end of todays podcast the vast majority of you are going to be tying up your laces and hitting the your first prep run. 

You’re welcome.

Sara Prendergast was a phenomenal guest choice to invite onto the show, even before I knew her full 'story'.  And boy, do we love stories here at RWTP...  
Sara is a super chic woman who is well accomplished as a female in her field, mining and construction.  She has been awarded Top 100 Most Influential Women In Mining along with many other impressive accolades that drew my attention to her exquisite combination of femininity and alpha-female grit.
Sara today shares her childhood experience with family violence, alcohol abuse, caring for a terminally ill father and tops it off with a diagnosis of dyslexia when she made it to University.  This conversation peeked my interest in exploring that cause and effect style of thinking about what draws us to a particular path and where we attain our personal strengths.

AFL's own unique breed of Field Umpire, Razor Ray hits the mics with me to talk all things life and high performance.  Ray hit my radar however, not for his umpiring fame, not even for his own high performance across sport, business or academia.  These things were just a cherry on top that happens to match our Roll With The Punches criteria once we sat him down in the 'virtual studio' here...  A lesser known detail though is the Chamberlain Foundation that Ray and his two brothers Peter and Brian established in 2015 which is raising money to support organisations that raise funds for mental health and suicide prevention with a particular focus on First Responders and Service Men & Women.   Ray's an entertaining lad that says it how it is, on and off the field so you'll enjoy the behind the scenes banter on his footy umpiring career along with how he manages high performance in several areas of life simultaneously.  I love the chat and learned some great life hacks along the way.

Krista Sirota was my teacher when I did my PT qualifications back in 2014.  She spent many years as a trainer and educator surrounded by some of the most forward-thinking in the industry both here in Australia and abroad.  
In 2017 however she entered a very small 'elite' club as a female fire fighter.  Given that 96% of firefighters are male I was intrigued to hear about what the testing process is like for a female and also what it's like to be a cat amongst the pigeons in such a male dominant industry where physical strength is obviously a reasonable advantage.  
This episode is a great listen for anyone interested in the fitness industry, anyone looking to get into fire fighting as a career choice... or really anyone considering making a change and taking a leap of faith of any sort.

Reformed black hacker turned Australia's best Cyber Hacking Expert.  Bastien Treptel had the Federal Police on his doorstep at 16 years old.   These days he is the founder of CTRL Group, Australia's progressive information security firm and ‘Cyber Hacker’ the Podcast.  Channeling his ever present passion for hacking into good rather than evil... lucky for us and Australian business's, I think you'd agree.  
In this episode we banter all things sh*t-that-gets-you-in-strife online and learn a thing or two about keeping your identity safe along the way.  We have a laugh here and there and Bastien terrifies me with some facts about cyber-security that may just make you pack your bags, quit technology and move to a far away desert plain.

Grant Edwards recently retired as Australian Federal Police Commander after 34 years of service.  Simultaneously over this time he set world records and competed at world level in strongman competitions amongst other various sports.   Grant is a high functioning and esteemed AFP member and athlete who, like many of us, came face to face with the effects of a life lived without an awareness on the effects to his own mental wellbeing.   

Today we chatted about some of his life as a high ranking AFP Commander and the repercussions of the scope of work that this involves.. from drug trafficking, to child exploitation and being deployed to serve in Afghanistan. We mere mortals get a cheeky sneak peek into the life of our legendary law enforcement officers, and low and behold we learn how superhero-ish, yet simultaneously very human they are underneath the amour.   

I LOVED this chat and think many will resonate with some of Grants perspectives and experiences which lead to his experience with PTSD and mental health.
