Roll With The Punches

It took a whole bunch of miracles and a sprinkling of luck to get this episode on my show... And I don't mean just nagging Helen & Steve to come chat with me but to even have Helen still in this world with us.

On December 8 2021 Helen's car was in a ditch and Helen was in cardiac arrest. That scenario in itself gives her a maximum 10% survival rate off the bat. It just so happened that Steve, the off duty firefighter (yep, he's real despite looking like a firey stunt double that gets called in to produce those calendars every year) just so happened to be driving by and the moment his expertise were needed to bring Helen back to life.

These guys are now close friends for life. It's not often a first responder like Steve gets to meet the human he saved and thus we share a beautiful chat with two people who went through something the rest of us hope we never have to.

You'll love them.. I do :)

We're not quite done with the lies.

You might remember last week with Bobby we explored why people lie. Well, we're back to dig into deception a little deeper and unveil more truth about lies (is that a thing?)

Other topics that hit our radar this week include conditioning and bias, self reflection, is there an afterlife, why integrity matters above all and of course the question on everybody's lips - is there a genetic predisposition to being a shit human??

Enjoy!

Ask yourself this... Who am 'I' and where do 'I' live??

Righto, so I've reeled old mate (almost Dr) Harps back in for an enlightening little chat around this seemingly unanswerable question. And given that he's punching out a PhD in Neuropsychology I figured he might perhaps put at least some of this to rest for me.

In the middle of the metaphorical jungle that is our brain, our mind and our spirit (or soul or whatever you call it), what's driving the bus, and where do 'we' exist in the middle of it all? If the biology of our brain (that's our neurochemistry) influences our thoughts, emotions and behaviours which thus has an effect on our mind then where does the essence of 'us' exist... is it our spirit? What even is spirit?  

C'mon Harps, dish up some answers here... and of course, whilst I had his attention it seemed a good time to update him (and you) on my latest plethora of issues and psych appointments with much loved Dr Bill.

Enjoy!

How many of us can say we nailed the goal we set for ourselves when we were 10 years old and seemingly limitless? Well Jimmy Farris sure did. In 2001 he signed his first NFL contract with the San Francisco 49rs and spent 7 years living his dream as a pro athlete, even snagging a Super Bowl with the Patriots. 

Though at 30 his dream was over and his professional NFL career had run it's course... then what?  Who are we when that which has been our passion, purpose and identity for almost a decade has been stripped away from us?

Jimmy didn't sit still long before he realised what would come next and like me, he is fascinated by human potential and performance.  You'll love Jimmy and hopefully enjoy this chat as much as I did!

Ken Marslew suffered the unthinkable. Receiving the news that his 18 year old son, Michael had been shot in the head at point blank range during a robbery became the catalyst for Ken to launch Enough Is Enough, an anti-violence organisation that today works with victims and offenders to achieve what so often the criminal justice system fails to.

Understandably, Ken wanted to do what any father would... he wanted to kill the killers, bring back the death penalty, or take matters into his own hands. In the end Ken chose to kill killers with kindness - in a sense.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles to fathom how a father might ever get past the pain, anguish and hatred towards his son's killers. That he could ever afford them compassion over revenge and 'an eye for an eye'.

This conversation with Ken was so raw and honest as he spoke of how he moved through the (much warranted) desire to see his son's murderers come to the same fate (and play a part in that happening), yet here we are today as Ken breaks the cycle of 'treating trauma with trauma' and offers a new and much more effective solution.

The truth about lies... or is that a lie too?

Why do we lie? What's a ''white lie'? Is withholding information lying? Is it ok to lie to protect someone's feelings? Does the intention behind a lie matter more than the lie itself?

Bobby and I unpack the many questions we have around why humans lie and what effect it has on our relationships and lives. Oh and of course I am to answer the question on everybody's lips... does the world look the same through Bobby's eyes as it does through my own??

It's no secret that too many of our men struggle to open up when times get tough. James Grima found himself in that very place in 2006, a time when James (thankfully unsuccessfully) attempted three times over a six week period to leave it all behind and take his own life. 

James realised if he'd been able to meet with a group of men who were experiencing some of the same life challenges, it would have made a big difference. So from his own disaster MANonline was conceived, an online men’s accountability network. Rather than feeling isolated when your relationship hits a speed bump, feeling stressed by your business, by an investment turning bad, or your health is below par; MANonline gives blokes somewhere to turn, a man to call, and an opportunity to get the support you need to move forward.

MANonline: For men, by men and in men friendly language!

The title of this episode speaks to not only the process of Janine and I getting this podcast together but also I think a testament to Janine's cool, calm and collected demeanor where it kind of feels like the world could fall down around her and she wouldn't skip a beat on the task at hand.

We walked, drove, sailed and battled a plethora of IT issues as we immersed ourselves in this conversation and I LOVED it.

You know Janine as the founder of Boost Juice, as the 2019 Australian Survivor contestant, The Australian Shark Tank TV program as well as Celebrity Apprentice.

We talk about life, business, family, success & all the human things along the way.

In a split second we make decisions that can change our lives forever. Jeff faced many of these in his 16 years as a NSW Police Sergeant. One of these decisions saw him leap into the tray of a felon's ute on the run...  an experience that layered it's effects on top of no doubt years of trauma exposure and saw Jeff diagnosed with post traumatic stress and depression and medically discharged in 2011. 

These days he's a trauma recovery coach and facilitates the healing and recovery for others who are experiencing trauma and mental health repercussions. 

BTW... Jeff didn't shoot anyone in the leg!

"F*ck nice people."

That was the first thing to come out of Bobby's mouth moments before this conversation...  at first, it might sound kind of mean, right? But when we put 'nice' under the microscope and compare it with it's much more authentic cousin 'kind' it doesn't take long to pick which one you want to be on the giving or receiving end of.

Amidst the idea of this topic our like-herding-cats style of focus took us on the usual rabbit holes of discussion... creating culture as a business & entrepreneur along with some snake and spider stories thrown in for good measure.
