Roll With The Punches

'You don't look stressed enough.' That was the feedback Mark LeBusque received when he was successfully running a team of sales people back in his corporate job days... Pffft, what a metric to be measured by! Is it any wonder we've forgotten how to be human at work? Well, host of the Simply Practically Human Podcast Mark and I unpack a bunch of stuff just like this along with some other rotten tomatoes life piffed at him along the way such as losing his own father to suicide.

Throwing in the towel on being an asshole at work to get results. Throwing in the towel on holding the lifeline of an unfulfilling career to start his own business. Throwing in the towel on fumbling through grief.

I loved this chat, littered with good advice and life strategies!

Pffft, 'a whole lot of luck' she says...  and then rolls out a podcast about a shark attack. With a 1 in 11.5 million chance, it's fair to say most people wouldn't consider themselves all to lucky to have a Great White hanging off their left leg. But our lad here Brett Connellan could see nothing but luck rolling out in the moments after his encounter. Moments that (lucky for you and I) have him standing here today, kicking ass on that reconstructed left leg of his.

Brett is cool, calm and collected and he can describe that day in a level of detail that made my heart race. I (like most people) had quite the shark fascination as a kid so chatting with this legend was like ticking off an item on my bucket list. His 'second chance at life' attitude and mindset is something you're going to love basking in throughout this pod.

Today's guest is a rockstar and not metaphorically… like an actual heavy metal rockstar. And a rockstar when it comes to mental health advocacy. And a rockstar when it comes to business acumen.  Johnny Crowder, Founder and CEO of Cope Notes which is an innovative tech startup that is currently supporting 21,000 humans and counting in 100 countries worldwide. 

Not at all shabby for a lad yet to blow out his 30th birthday candles.

Johnny’s achieved all this and more and amidst managing his own mental health challenges along the way which include Schizophrenia, Bipolar and OCD. 

Things you might mistakenly think prevent us from succeeding... well nope, they sure don't.

It bloody got me!  I'm rising from the Covid dust today and going solo to reminisce about some of my favourite guests and episodes over the last 12 months... Certainly not in order of preference because let's be honest, I have 279 favourite episodes as it stands today.

If you haven't heard these ones already they just might spark your interest :)

It's 2022 and a fair percentage of humans are doing what humans do in the the first weeks of the year... Setting goals, going over the coulda, woulda, shoulda of their fitness goals and making a pledge to change and get it right.

Given that I thought it's a perfect time to drag our resident Exercise Physiologist back behind the mic and iron out some of the kinks for us all. I do love a just-do-the-work, no bullshit approach when it comes to our health... there's far too much glitter and fibs out there dipping into our pockets with little RIO for our efforts.

Enjoy!

Today's episode is stepping into the realm of a little true crime podcasting.  I bumped into John Killick via social media when he listened to a recent episode this year... Little did I know I had just started to banter with the he who pulled off Australia's most daring prison escape!

In 1999 John's girlfriend Lucy casually hijacked a helicopter at gunpoint (as you do) and ducked over Silverwater prison in Sydney to scoop up her love and bring him home... a modern day uber ride of sorts. John can tell some stories of his life that's for sure and I had to keep reminding myself that this was a non-fiction conversation. If you love true crime buckle up and grab a cuppa.

There's something somewhat sacred about horses. This conversation brought back many fond memories for myself as a teenager cantering through the gorgeous countryside in Tasmania, just me and my horse.

Jane is a nurse turned psychotherapist with a plethora of therapeutic qualifications under her belt, one of which is equine therapy. She is the Director of Equine Assisted Therapy Australia and it's fair to say I loved every minute of this conversation with Jane.

Enjoy!

This week Bobby and I kick off with the idea of expanding on a recent social rant I went on titled F*ck Happiness...  Because, what even IS happiness? Do we know? Probably not I'm guessing, which makes it an elusive little devil to find on our quest for it hey...

In true Tiff & Bobby form we meander around a myriad of ideas and thoughts around happiness, bliss balls, pet spiders, anxiety and suffering. 

Enjoy! But not too much cos ya know, f*ck happiness :)

Will YOU do the work?

This is a super short solo episode I thought might be worth throwing into audio format. It's a few thoughts I pondered recently and posted on my socials. From that I received some feedback that the message landed with a few people so I thought, perhaps it might land with a couple more and be the kick up the bum we are sometimes looking for in life...

And worst case scenario it's under 7 minutes so if it doesn't land with you, you haven't wasted much of your time :)

Get ready to laugh, get ready to cry, get ready to learn some urban dictionary terms you'll wish you never laid ears on!  

Tracy Bartram is back and though we were eager to talk about her new podcast Laughaholics it took us most of the hour to even get there. From the unconditional love of our dogs, to dingleberries and looking for love... we kind of cover it all.

Enjoy! I did :)
