As the winter Olympics draw nigh (Feb. 4 to Feb. 20), I thought it would be fun to chat with winter Olympian, friend and channel seven commentator, Steph Prem, about the lessons, skills, habits, discipline and thinking that can be transferred from succeeding in elite sport to succeeding in life. By the way, in her last event Steph broke her back (and a few other things) and endured five years of rehab, so she understands the reality of pain, inconvenience, shattered dreams, disappointment and starting from scratch. Enjoy.

This episode was pretty much me riffing about one of my favourite topics for an hour, with Tiff jumping in when I came up for air. Understanding how other people think is a highly-important but under-valued and under-considered ability and skill. It’s something I’m fascinated with (obsessed maybe) and something I’ve worked hard to understand and explore personally, professionally and academically. It’s important because, having an insight into how others think, means we have an insight into their version of reality. Their thoughts, ideas, stories, beliefs, biases, values and fears. Which means we know what they might do next. Or how they might feel about or react to, a certain stimulus (event, situation, statement, outcome). Which makes things like effective communication, connection, teamwork, leadership, problem solving and conflict resolution more likely. In the 80’s Stephen Covey famously wrote: “seek first to understand and then to be understood”. He was onto something. Enjoy.

Lifting heavy things has been my therapy, my meditation and my happy place since I was fourteen. And while many think it’s all about biceps, delts and selfies, for me (and many others), lifting stuff is as much for my mind and emotions, as is it my body. Exercise Physiologist Russ Jarrett (M.Ex.Sci) is back and this time we talk about strength training for the masses. Any person with any body type, of any age, with any goals, any level of experience and in any physical condition. We talk about the multitude of ideologies, protocols, methods, resources, equipment and do our best to simplify what can be, a confusing conversation. Enjoy.

My mum (Mary) would say that Rob Caslick is doing God’s work. In 2010 Rob founded an organic soup kitchen in Sydney's Kings Cross and in 2016 he founded social enterprise Two Good Co, initially as a way to scale the soup kitchen. Two Good Co is a business which provides food, support and training to survivors of domestic violence. What started as “wheeling our barbecue about 300 metres” to grill up a shared feast for the area’s homeless and drug addicted, is now a national provider of food and lifestyle products to women’s shelters across the country. Rob is a good bloke, with a big heart, a big vision and I loved our chat.

The good Doc is back and this time we discuss the way that our mind (thoughts, self-talk, beliefs, faith, stories) interacts with our body and impacts our physical health. Put simply, what are the physiological consequences (good or bad) of our psychology. If negative thoughts can put a body into a negative state (stress hormones, immune suppression, elevated heart rate, BP, sympathetic nervous system), does that same mind have the potential to put the same body into a state of recovery, repair and healing? Enjoy.
