Building Better Humans Project

This week week I’m bringing you a great chat I had with Shaun O’Gorman recently. Shaun is a former Police Officer who went down a very tough road with PTSD due to trauma and incidents that eventually lead to him laying at home with a pistol in his mouth ready to end it all. Sound intense. Yeah well it is. But Shaun is now working with people to help them life a stronger more purposeful life. He has his own podcast called the Strong Life Project which he releases daily. He has a strong approach which is no BS, straight down the line, tell it like it is. We sat down inside the office at the new Project 180 HQ in Maud Street Newstead – www.180.net.au (shameless plug). The place wasn’t finished at the time so you may hear some background noise but the chat was epic and I know you’re going to get some great value tips out of this.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that the 31 day challenge is over we're launching straight back into the Mid-Week Motivations series. This week it's a rev up.

No BS.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I want to highlight the importance of helping others in this world and within our communities. I am sharing an amazing story of Rev Greg Boyle who runs a charity / social enterprise called Homeboy Industries where he focuses on keeping Gang Members out of prison and gives them skills and hope to lead a life that can be proud of. I also share the story of Emerge - a social enterprise doing the same thing in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. I ask you to consider digging deep to help Emerge reach an amazing milestone but there's only four (4) days to get involved so time is of the essence. You can get involved here: DONATE TO EMERGE You can follow the Emerge story here: EMERGE WEBSITE  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Donaldson VC is well-known for as the SAS warrior who was awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery in Afghanistan. He is a quiet, confident man who chatted freely about the things he is good at and the things he's not. We talked about life after the military and how he navigates these new areas. A great chat with a very down to earth hero. An absolute honour to be able to bring you this episode of the podcast.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
