Woke Blokes Podcast

In this episode the guys discuss the attachments we humans naturally form, the difference between biologically driven desires and ego based ones, and the issues that arise from when we start preferring things to happen which are mostly out of our control.

For those of you that don’t know, Ryan (or his VA to be more precise) puts the recording together and does the graphic, and Nick uploads it all onto the internet. Ryan came into the recording of this episode really flat and listless (not dissimilar to his effort in the final round of the golf tournament they played in recently) so decided to call this episode the shittiest one they had done. Enjoy!

We’re all in relationships (of some kind) so in this episode, the guys thought it was worth exploring what a relationship is, why we have them and what’s involved in co creating a successful one.

The guys have a casual conversation in this episode about how they play the game of shifting between “being” and “doing” and noticing when they get stuck in either one for too long.

Social Golf Australia is Australia’s biggest golf club and on this episode the founder Matty Pitt joins the guys again to discuss the importance of belonging to a community and feeling connected.

Nick’s mate Dan, one of the co-founders of TradeMutt and TIACS Foundation reached out after listening to the last episode about mental health charities and offered to come on and peel back the curtain on how TIACS Foundation works and share his thoughts on how the industry can evolve. Really great listening!

Bit of a spicy topic in this episode where Nick questions if anyone who is really struggling with their mental health actually benefits from people donating to mental health charities or doing push ups to raise awareness.

In this episode the guys discuss how we can break free of the models we develop that keep us conditioned to living a certain way to then live bravely by taking risks and getting out of our comfort zone, which is where our growth lies!

Most of us have someone in our lives who we wish we could help because we love them and its hard to see them suffer, or that we could change because they are making our lives harder than necessary. In this episode, the guys discuss strategies to better handle ourselves and those around us, especially when they don’t want to be helped or changed.

In the last of the 4 part Master Series podcast, Nick takes the reigns and explores the life and work of Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Dr Viktor Frankl whose work has helped greatly on Nicks personal journey and also become part of the MyndFit programs.
