Roll With The Punches

As most of us do in our 30's I feel pretty indestructible. I'm fit and healthy, I exercise like a beast and eat well... So does Amy Wells. But at 35, one of those workouts she does to keep herself in good health happened to tear a vertebral artery which in turn lead Amy suffering a stroke. Within no time she had lost her balance and her ability to walk.

Well... That's one hell of a reality hit hey! We talk about what this experience was like for Amy and how her recovery has changed her perspective on life and what's important.

Glenn Weir is Assistant Commissioner - Road Policing Command at Victoria Police and he's a man proudly married to the service for over 4 decades. In this time as you can imagine (from becoming a cadet at 16) Glenn has seen some heavy stuff, from road trauma to the loss of too many fellow officers. 

We talk about the literal and metaphoric amour that comes with sliding that uniform and badge on for the day and how Glenn has navigated the good and potentially bad of policing. 

Thanks Glenn for the work you do and for being such an epic human!

Harps is back and didn't we have a grand old chat in this episode... we (as is often the case) didn't so much as start talking about the topic we had planned to, however we did talk about some brilliant stuff and these are often my favourite episodes to record and to share...  From emotional intelligence, learning and improving, coaching and teaching, right through to a number of D & M moments and plenty of lols.

Enjoy!

Am I the only one who's curious around the ebbs and flows of their energy, behaviour and thus personality? 

Am I the only one who chooses sh*t coffee for good humans?

Am I the only one who seeks emotional answers for physical pain-points?

Amidst all these questions I fire at Bobby we also banter about leadership (vs management) and what makes for good leadership vs bad, why are so many leaders not-so-great and how values play such a big role in the culture of a company.

Well, Kurt Fearnley really is something else. I couldn't decide on a name for this episode as nothing could really articulate in a few words how I felt about what it has to offer.

Kurt is an incredibly humble and down-to-earth bloke. He's also a multiple gold medalist at numerous Paralympics and Commonwealth Games. He also just happened to crawl (yep, you read that right) the 96km Kokoda Track.. the first disabled person to do so..

What I love most about Kurt though is the way he articulates life as we meander through some of his experiences, one of which left me baffled... I guess I just didn't expect a wheelchair athlete to share that their first medal won at school was for high jump, of all things! That alone set's the tone for how this legend approaches life... buckle up, you're going to love him.

Oi, you over there... Get off the bench!!

That's what this weapon Kerryn Vaughan is all about. Getting bums off the bench and inspiring action and human potential. We got along like a house on fire and her energy and attitude is infectious. Growing up as a musician, making a little noise is something that comes naturally to Kerryn and these days she's using her vocal talents to inspire, educate and coach others to live their purpose.

We talk about life, loss, laughter and music... and yep, I've got a new friend :)

Strap yourself in, I've got a live one here! You're going to love this weapon Tess Cesnik (unless you're a bit precious around the odd f-bomb).

Former fellow Aussie who packed her bags, put on her big girl pants and plonked herself in the UK and called it home. At 12 years old Tess performed a lift that is to this day held as a junior world record (not by Tess as no numb-nut thought to put her into competition). However it highlights how stupidly strong Tess is, along with her numerous powerlifting accomplishments.

We shoot the breeze about life, lifting and laughing and I discovered that if I were to live in the UK and be seeking a coach, I'd be knocking on Tess's door as her coaching philosophy is right up my alley!

Today Bobby and I are sharing some stories and personal stuff around self acceptance and how to embrace and own the signature we (you) put on the world. When is self deprecation appropriate (if ever?) where is the line between humility and humiliation and yeah sure, we self deprecate because we have a cracking sense of humour and don't take life to seriously... but as you'll hear when I dig deep with Bobby, there's still a little something that goes on when we are at the receiving end of some assclown's thoughtless (at best) or downright nasty (at worst) comments.

As always this episode is a cocktail of shenanigans, laughs and vulnerable stories and truths.

Thanks for listening!

Meet Elise Elliott... She's a self confessed rev-head and a slick media superstar who's been hitting our TV, our radio waves and our printed media for in excess of two decades (which may leave you thinking she hit the screens at around 3 years old).

From putting Rhonda Rousey in a headlock she couldn't escape, to interviewing the infamous Sex And The City star Carrie Bradshaw there's plenty of tales Elise tells that makes me yearn for experiencing a day in the life of...  Not to mention being one of the very few women motoring journalists in Australia, this girl can talk the torque.

I loved her and I just know you will too... 

Oh, and wait until you hear the story of the dude who shot his nut off! (Literally)

With so many things to learn in life, it's kind of interesting to me to realise that learning HOW to actually LEARN is also a thing.

It's a thing that Barbara Oakley has devoted much of her learning to and so I burrow into her brilliant mind in this episode to pull out some knowledge and science for myself (and you). There's so much more I want to learn and I'm excited at the prospect of better understanding the process, which in itself fascinates me.

I fire some questions at Barbara such as 'why did I sign up to your course two weeks ago and not finish it?' (like many others I have).

How do we better focus our ADHD tendencies?

Can we focus if we are not innately interested in the content?

She is a mind weapon!  Enjoy :)
