Roll With The Punches

"Matt Church, founder of ThoughtLeaders, is not only one of Australia's top professional speakers and speaker mentors, but he's also a deep-thinking creative with a profound understanding of the human condition and experience.

In this episode, we explore a range of ideas and concepts, including the 'seeking game,' what it takes to 'make it,' the key elements of delivering a powerful message, and ultimately, what it means to be a thought leader.

If you're involved in speaking, presenting, or marketing ideas (which, let’s be honest, is a big part of life), you're going to love this episode!

Jem’s back, and this time we’re not just talking about the profound experience awaiting us this September as we head to the Himalayas for some serious soul food. We also dive into topics like listening to the truths our bodies offer us, understanding patriarchy and masculinity, and making great decisions.

Our chats are always unscripted, but I always walk away from conversations with Jem with new insights and resources I didn’t have an hour before. I hope you do too!

Too many of us know someone who has had a brush with cancer - whether it's a friend, a family member, or even a personal scare. Kate Gales knows this all too well, having ticked far more boxes around this topic than anyone would ever want. But it's precisely because of these experiences that Kate has become one of the most incredible people to speak to about understanding the world of someone who's faced the big C.

Kate battled hard and beat breast cancer after being diagnosed at just 27 years old. With two young daughters to raise, she emerged from that fight stronger, pulling out the positives and living a life she loves with her husband. But five years after Kate’s victory, her husband Bob was diagnosed with renal cancer (and they say lightning doesn’t strike twice). With both a personal experience of surviving cancer and the challenge of supporting her partner through it, Kate’s journey naturally led her to become a beacon of hope and a resource for others. She wrote Thanks For The Mammaries and started advocating for those in similar situations.

When I met Kate last year, I encountered a gorgeous, resilient, and strong cancer survivor, her face hidden behind a mask to stay safe in public. Yes, lightning had struck a third time - Kate had recently been diagnosed with leukemia. She spoke, her daughter Gem spoke (check out Episode 732), and both filled my eyes with tears.

Now, one year later, Kate’s hair has grown back, her health is improving, and she’s here to share some incredible insights.

What a gift she is.

Does stress cause worry, or worry cause stress? It's a valid question, what comes first and causes the latter... Stress for worry, or worry for stress? The chicken or the egg.

We talk so much about stress and how to manage it, but 'worry' tends to take a back seat. However, Lillian Nejad has called shotgun and invited worry to ride up front with her. So if you're a chronic worrier and you'd like to get the low down on how to worry well then this is the episode for you. 

We talk about worry vs anxiety, worry postponement (yes worry, just take a seat over there in the worry waiting room), how to execute scheduled worry time and how to turn the information into application and the knowing into doing.

Enjoy!

In this episode, Harps and I dive deep into the many layers of who we are. From the personas we present to the world, to the secret selves we keep hidden, and even the future selves we aspire to be. Craig's got his own brilliant way of breaking this all down, talking about the different 'yous' we show - public, personal, private, secret, and future. We explore how these personas shape our lives, our relationships, and our own sense of self. We also get real about the importance of vulnerability, how our pasts can impact our present, and the constant work it takes to build trust, both with others and within ourselves. In this conversation I share some deeply personal reflections on my own journey, which has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride from trauma to healing. It's a raw, honest chat that really peels back the layers, so if you're into getting real about who you are and where you're going, this one's for you.

In this episode, I'm having a chat with the incredibly talented Josh Piterman - or is he having a chat with me? Josh is Australia’s own renowned musical theatre star, best known for his powerful performances in shows like Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables. This conversation goes far beyond the surface as we dive into the raw and vulnerable side of being on stage, and the emotional and psychological demands that come with embodying such iconic characters night after night.

Josh opens up about his journey into musical theatre, which began with an unsuspecting tap on the shoulder in high school. He shares both the highs and the lows of his career, from the exhilarating moments of playing dream roles to the challenges of dealing with stress, anxiety, and burnout. Together, we explore the concept of resilience - not just as a buzzword, but as a deep, often painful process of self-discovery and growth.

So, if you're keen to dive into discussions around identity, vulnerability, the balance between public persona and private self, and the importance of authenticity (whether on stage, in the boxing ring, or in everyday life) then this chat is definitely going to be your jam!

Tim Peck, a former member of Victoria Police, faced a severe decline in his mental health, leading him to contemplate suicide. Fortunately, Tim survived this dark period and has since dedicated his life to helping those with mental health conditions, particularly first responders.

After leaving Victoria Police and undergoing his recovery, Tim worked at Beyond Blue and the Police Association of Victoria as Manager of Welfare. He is now the Director of Responder Assist at Phoenix Australia, the Australian National Centre of Excellence in Posttraumatic Mental Health, focusing on the mental health of first responders.

In this episode, Tim openly discusses his battle with suicidality, so please note if you are feeling sensitive to such conversation today. However, his story also highlights the crucial message that even in the darkest times, recovery is possible, thriving is achievable, and these conversations serve as a beacon of hope and connection. 

Tim’s recovery journey, documented through extensive journaling, culminated in a book 'The Invisible Obvious' that promises to be an incredible read.

Patrick Bonello is a self-confessed tech nerd, a creative, a Tai Chi teacher, an entrepreneur, an identical twin, a radio host, a lover of dorky knitted sweaters, and someone I have grown to dearly love bantering with due to his broad range of knowledge, interests and experience. So yeah, in a nutshell Patrick is a dead-set legend!

Today we are 'freeballing it', as he calls it, and talk about life. I quiz Patrick around his experiences on finding balance, starting businesses, getting bullied at school and how it influenced him positively and negatively, being hard on ourselves (ok, that one might have been more on me), and being blessed with the role of dog guardian.

Grab a cuppa and enjoy!
