Burpees. You hate them I hate them Why?  Because they are pretty much the best whole-body exercise you can do in a confined space.  If you had to pick on exercise to do for the rest of your life, bang-for-buck - it's probably the burpee.
But what about keeping your mind fit? In this episode Osher offers up a technique to train the observing mind to get more involved, more often. It's simple to learn, and can have profound impacts on how we react to things.

Burpees for the brain. This is the most impactful exercise I use to improve my mental fitness.

How many people are in your village? It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things. Without that support or purpose, things can get out of balance. Osher is joined by broadcaster and the founder of Gotcha4Life, Gus Worland. He has dedicated his career to helping people, mostly men - actively work on building that village. He never intended to do it, however when he got the call, Gus went all in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The importance of creating a village around you, ft Gus Worland.

Talking through a way of dealing with the horrors of April 13th

Today Osher reflects on what he learned from this week's conversation with Sylvia Jefferys.  In particular, two powerful lessons; learning from a job as another way to get value other than a pay packet, and helpful ways to think about the world when our newsfeeds are an avalanche of sadness and woe.

It's not all good, but it's not all bad. A way to handle the avalanche of a news feed

Today Osher speaks with Sylvia Jefferies, an incredibly accomplished journalist and presenter, originally from Brisbane Australia. Sylvia has a matter-of-fact, get-after-it vibe about her which makes the career success she’s had make perfect sense. Sylvia is very open about how she juggles family life and home life, also how she has found particularly interesting ways to deliberately work emotional regulation into her day so she’s able to go back home to her kids after a day exposing herself to the unedited grim realities of the world. ‌ What did you think of this episode?
