Career leaper, adventure seeker, action taker - meet Steven Bishop. Director of Urban Heartbeat and Trix 4 Trex Steven Bishop is here to tell his awesome story of taking a career leap of faith.

Since then he has created two incredible travel businesses: Trix 4 Trex and Urban Heartbeat.

Trix 4 Trex is exactly that - advice, tips and support for travellers. Where to go, what to do, how to get there, anything you can think of for your travelling adventure, Stevie is the guy for you.

What should I eat? When should I eat it? How much? These are all questions I am asked multiple times a day. The majority of the population has the desire to change their body, yet somehow we keep getting bigger and bigger. Why is this?

Nutrition starts in the head. While short term diets, challenges and detoxes will no doubt yield results, most of these are unsustainable. How about instead of following yet another elimination diet which sets you up for failure, you try something new? Why don't you tune in to what your body really wants and needs and how it actually feels? Our body tells us everything, we just have to have the guts to listen and take action.

Your best body starts right here, but only if you want it.

How do you set about creating your revolution? Is it by focusing on the now? Being mindful, present, grateful and engaged in the now? Or is it by looking forward, setting goals and taking action towards tomorrow?

Have a listen to how you can start living the life you want in a few easy steps while also working towards an even better future.

Meet Aaron Scarborough. One of the owners of Iron Revolution - A powerlifting, strongman and strength gym in Melbourne.

Not only is this guy an awesome coach and man, he's here to tell us all about what Strongman training is and why you should give it a go.

Strongman training is functional strength in its purest form. Think pulling, carrying, dragging, pushing and lifting all sorts of objects with just you. Awesome for strength, fitness and building mental and physical capacity.

This guy is awesome and I'm so grateful for his insight and passion.

Are you stuck in your comfort zone and can't see a way out? It's a funny thing our comfort zone because it is actually comfortable, and is comfortable even that bad? Well you tell me.

How would you rate your life? How passionate are you? Are you living intentionally? With purpose? How about your love? Relationships? Your career? Your body? Are you living unconsciously, waiting for 5 o'clock, waiting for the weekends, waiting for holidays?

How do you really feel?

Today's episode is about getting honest. Where are you now, where would you like to be and how are you going to get there?

Right or wrong sometimes life gets in the way of our grand plans and no amount of positive thinking can help. This last week I've been sick, Trump got elected and my computer got completely wiped. Not life-ending by any standards but for some reason I got seriously derailed.

Like an idiot I tried to push through. I ignored the messages my body was giving me - I mean I had things to do! - And as a result I got sicker.

It made me think that when life doesn't go according to plan this isn't always a bad thing! A derail offers us time for us to take stock of our lives and really assess whether where we are going is where we want to be going. It gives us a chance to rest and recuperate and it gives us an opportunity to withdraw from the pressure to always be ok.

All we have control over is our reaction to life and our outlook on life and it's about time that we realised that our reactions don't always have to be positive in order to have a positive impact on our lives.

What is your purpose?

What are you passionate about?

Why are you here? What drives you?

These are the questions I address with each of the guests on the podcast, but what about you? Do you have answers to these questions? Or do they make you a little nervous because you're unsure of why you're here? And if you're unsure, how do you find these answers?

Well today's episode addresses this questions of purpose and its relevance to you.

Purpose by its very definition is a reason for action. For me life is about living. Life isn't about simply showing up aimlessly day in day out, life is about choosing where you will be, how you will live and what impact you will have on those around you and the world. Purpose gives your life meaning and meaning gives your existence life.

Today hear about the 4 steps it takes to finding your purpose and how addressing these will add passion and fulfilment to your life.
