Ever catch yourself 'out to impress', and behaving in ways you assume might gain approval over your usual behaviour? Ever notice how when we observe that trait in others, it's quite off-putting? Ever wonder why we can observe that in others, realise it's off-putting, and still catch ourselves doing it anyway? Human behaviour is a funny thing, and today Harps and I are chatting about exactly this.

Deep down, we hope you're impressed!

Dr. Mark Williams tells me that Still Face Syndrome is real - a consequence of our attention shifting from human interactions to digital devices. The terrifying part is that it's robbing infants of critical emotional development, with repercussions that are hard to imagine. This is just one of the mind-blowing facts Dr. Williams shares in this episode.

Who is Dr. Mark Williams? He's a rebellious high school dropout turned cognitive neuroscientist. Mark's own story is a testament to our ability to transform our lives at any point. From the nuances of human behavior to how our environment and interactions shape our perceptions and actions, Mark sheds light on the critical role of emotions, the subconscious impact of our mirror neurons, and the silent epidemic of device addiction affecting our kids.

Join us for an eye-opening chat about the unseen forces guiding our everyday lives and the steps we can take to foster healthier connections and habits.

In this episode I'm welcoming back Sergeant Mark Thomas, the legend behind The Code 9 Foundation, and we're talking about complexities of identity, trauma, and resilience, particularly within the realm of first responders. Mark shares how he navigates managing his PTSI (PTSD) while simultaneously continuing to serve in the Victoria Police and discusses the importance of separating work identity from personal life for mental health and wellbeing.

Our chat explores the challenges of being in a high-stress job and running a foundation that supports others in similar situations, without getting entangled in politics or organisational conflicts. Mark highlights the emotional rollercoaster that comes with his responsibilities around this and the importance of finding balance and maintaining his own support system.

This episode offers insights, anecdotes, and practical advice for anyone dealing with trauma, or supporting others in their healing journey. Tune in as we aim to shed some light on the human side of first responders.

Another cracking chat with the wonderful Kerryn Vaughan as we explore some fundamental questions that shape our lives. We explore our values, our character, and why we often sweat the small stuff. And speaking of small, why do we tend to play small in life?

In this episode, we get philosophical about how to live well and navigate the inevitable hormonal rollercoaster (a journey I’m just beginning myself). It’s a discussion filled with fun and profound insights.

Kerryn never disappoints - always enlightening and always a blast!

Imagine riding a motorcycle at a breathtaking speed of 270 kph. Now, picture doing it with your eyes closed, unable to see a thing! That’s the reality for Ben Felton, who couldn’t see a thing even before he even got on the bike. Teaming up with Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix legend Kevin Magee - who has an impressive 36 Grand Prix races under his belt and is the winner of the 1988 Spanish Grand Prix - Ben set out to become the world's fastest blind man on a motorcycle. And in true legendary fashion, they achieved this remarkable feat in March 2018.

Today, I’m chatting with these incredible lads about their personal and shared journeys. From Kevin’s brain surgeries to Ben being told at 15 that he was going blind and there was nothing he could do about it, their stories are nothing short of inspiring.

This is an epic conversation that breaks down barriers, redefines what’s truly possible, and puts the ‘ability’ back into disability.

The episode title might sound intense, but the reality is that these kinds of things are happening around us every day, and someone has to handle it. Many times, that someone was former Detective Narelle Fraser (and wow, what a powerhouse she is). She’s definitely not what I expected when I sat down to talk with someone who's been at the coalface of some of Australia’s most high-profile and horrific criminal cases.

We delved deep into her unique and intense 27-year career with Victoria Police, where she shared her experiences in the most challenging units, including the rape, homicide, and missing persons squads. Narelle's combined experience and perspective are nothing short of fascinating as she opens up about facing unimaginable trauma, dealing with the stigma of mental health, and transitioning from being a police detective to a mental health advocate. Her raw honesty and passion for helping others are just a few of the reasons why this episode is a must-listen.

So, grab your headphones, get comfy, and join us as we explore Narelle’s epic story. You won't want to miss it!

Another brilliant chat with the wonderful, brutally honest and ever insightful Mark LeBusque in the bag today! We explore our 'stop and go' stories, you know the ones that hold us back or propel us forward, but often run on their own accord in our heads and dictate our behaviour. I discover my internal 'little miss nobody' identity (have you got one of those too?).

How do we get out of our own way? How do we break the cycle? How do we develop the skill of intuition? He never fails to get real and raw with me in these chats and I love it to bits. (Free coaching, hey!)

Today, I had the pleasure of talking with Gavin McCormack and his brilliant friend, Dan Lakis, diving deep into the world of education and learning. What could unfold if us 'grown-ups' and our traditional 'the-way-it's-always-been-done' philosophy stood back for a second to consider taking a new approach to teaching and developing the minds of the next generation?

The lads and I explored the profound impact of connection, empathy, and real-world learning experiences. Gavin shared his journey from being a teacher (as we've previously discussed his Montessori method) to leading impactful projects that transform lives. Dan introduced innovative approaches to spark critical thinking and creativity in students. Did I mention Dan was the founding Vice Principal of Ad Astra, Elon Musk's school at SpaceX? (Just sayin').

We talked about the critical impact of building trust, fostering creativity, and empowering children to take ownership of their learning. Gavin's stories highlighted how connecting with students on a personal level can significantly enhance their educational experience, and Dan's insights on promoting curiosity and critical thinking were absolute eye-openers. (Where were these blokes when I was chained to the classroom?)

Just like my last banter with Gavin, this one sparked so much of my interest around how we think, learn, create, and impact the world we live in. You're going to love it!!
