Life is a journey of peaks and troughs, mayhem and magic, laughter and tears, breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs. And in the middle of it all is you. And me. LIFE is a daily podcast about all that. Six to ten minutes exploring one life-shaping idea, topic, question, problem and/or solution that (with some work from you) might change your life for the better. Enjoy.
Launching Wednesday 15 March 2023!
Hi Team. I’ve decided to spend a week (7 episodes) unpacking some of my whiteboard posts from IG. Each day I’ll read two or three whiteboards and then share my thoughts. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a big emotional and psychological gap between (1) worrying about (stressing, panicking, overthinking) whether or not people like you and (2) being curious about how others experience you in social and professional contexts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I've spent much of my life getting better at things I once sucked at. I did this in order to explore my potential, optimise my health, build a business, be a good student, create a life that aligned with my goals, values and purpose and in general terms, succeed.

If you're like me, you're a handful. In fact, you are the biggest project you'll ever have. Yes, there'll be a constant stream of peaks and troughs, breakdowns and breakthroughs, laughter and tears but in the middle of it all is you. The author of your own story. So, rather than 'managing life’, maybe your ever-present challenge is to manage 'you' (mind, body, emotions, choices, relationships, energy, money, resources, opportunities) in the middle of that life?

If you've been 'almost’ getting in shape for too long, listen to this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is a question people rarely ask themselves, when it comes to their big ‘life-shaping’ beliefs. It’s too scary. And uncomfortable. Especially when they have a long history with that belief. Especially when their identity is intertwined with that belief. When you believe you’re absolutely right about something, then you also believe that everyone in the world who doesn’t agree with you, is automatically wrong. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....
Is there really a best diet? Or exercise program? Lifestyle? Job? Relationship model? For who? The masses? Or for you? Your challenge is not to find 'the' best approach, strategy or program, but rather, yours’. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sometimes the things we need to do, are not the things we want to do. And sometimes, discomfort, uncertainty, inconvenience and pressure are exactly what we need to develop strength, competence, adaptability, skill and resilience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Are you derailing yourself? Shooting yourself in the metaphoric foot? Getting in your own way by doing dumb shit that doesn't align with your values, goals or purpose? Make poor choices? Wasting precious time, talent and energy? Obsessing about things you can't change? Over-thinking the bejeebus out of everything? Fucking up your body with toxic crap? If this sounds like you, tune in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Being reliable is an interpersonal super power. If you are reliable, people are more likely trust you, value you, have confidence in you and say good things about you. In many ways, reliability is the glue that keeps relationships (of all kinds), strong. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
'Self-help' has become a mis-used (but widely accepted) term for programs, products; services, workshops, books and even podcasts, selling (literally or metaphorically) ideas, concepts, techniques and tools but the 'actual helping of the self' (maybe we should call it 'self-helping') lives in the application, the action, the work, the effort, the sweat and the courage; the doing not just the knowing. Process not product. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....
This is a chat about trying to understand our own mind and the way we create our own subjective reality via our thoughts, stories and beliefs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What are the potential benefits of doing something that's 'Un-you'? Something away from your safety net, security blanket and typical operating system? This is a chat about that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Your energy is not an infinite resource. It is precious. Don't waste it on bullshit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There's been a lot of failure on my way to success. There still is. F*ck up. Get up. Repeat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So many people give up. So many people bullsh*t themselves about how hard they’re working. Lots of excuses, f*ck all commitment, discipline or effort. Don’t be one of them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There's the thing that happens and then there's the way we respond to it. Sometimes we need to hit the metaphoric pause button. No immediate action. No reaction. No decision. Just feel the emotion, wait for our intellect and reason to kick in, take a breath and move forward from there. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Imagine living in a body that's functionally ‘younger' than its chronological age. A fifty-five year-old doing life in a body that's the physiological equivalent of a typical forty year-old. Ageing is inevitable but the way we age, is optional. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Your energy is not an infinite resource. We humans have an amazing ability to waste copious mounts of energy on sh*t we can't control; essentially allowing our minds to be hijacked by obsession, fear and over-thinking things we can't change or undo. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Who said life needs to be fair? Is 'life' a conscious entity that 'cares' (or doesn't care) about your personal welfare, mental health or bank balance? Nope. Life is mayhem. And joy. Chaos. And calm. Peaks. And troughs. And in the middle of it all, is you; the author of your own story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
How do we take that 'theoretical something' in our head (idea, intention, goal, dream, aspiration) and turn it into a ‘real-world something' that we can see, touch, experience and enjoy? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Off the back of yesterday's 'why you should strength train' conversation, this chat is the 'how' instalment. I share some simple insights, strategies and ideas to help you optimise your time, energy and genetics. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Did you know that consistent strength training can significantly improve your cognitive function? Who knew? Well, among a bunch of other great benefits, it can. This is the show where I essentially do a sale's pitch for lifting heavy things. It's still one of the most under-utilised interventions for improving overall health, despite overwhelming evidence. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Some people are sleepwalking their way through life. Stuck in a version of Groundhog Day, treading water in unfulfilling, unrewarding, unejoyable and uninspired lives that they didn't choose or design. Unconsciously handing over the steering wheel of their lives to people, situations, events and forces that don't care about (or are oblivious to) them and their dreams and desires. Saying things like “this wasn't my plan", when in fact they never really had a plan; just an idea of how things would...
In this episode, I talk about creating opportunities (rather than waiting for them), going where you grow and people who can drag you up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
