Building Better Humans Project

I was struck with some bad news yesterday. A mate of mine took his life and so I wanted to kick off this week reminding you to take care of your Mental Health in the same way you do your Physical Health. It's equally important. 31 Days 31 Ways to Change  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Feather is the man behind Australia's Premier Gym - 98 Gym in Darlinghurst, Sydney. In this episode we chatted about a lot of what it takes to build a culture within a business like 98 Gym. In fact it's the heart and soul which makes it so popular. There are some great take away's here whether you're in the fitness industry or not. You can check out 98 gym here Next July we're heading to Kokoda with the 98 crew.

Last week I chatted about planning. Setting up your 2019 and how being really clear on your goals matters.I also spoke about the High Performance Getaway I had just run and the fact that you can be very successful in your business or personal life and not have a plan. You can just kind of wing it and everything’s ok.The problem is, if I’m being honest, that whilst this is possible it relies on a lot of things going your way. It’s easy when life’s all smooth sailing. But when the time comes, as it often does in life, that you get hit with an unexpected challenge. You cop that punch in the guts that really takes the wind out of you – you won’t have built the resilience or perhaps it’s more that you don’t know what your perfect performance line is so won’t know how to get back to it.What’s a Perfect Performance Line?In the Special Forces, particularly our SASR, there’s a concept around a Perfect Performance Line.If everything goes smoothly. If everything runs to plan. This is the line from where we are to w

I have to start this week with a warning. There’s some language in this episode and some adult concepts thrown in so if you have little ears around or you’re driving the kids to school perhaps wait until they’re not around to listen. I’ve got a big one for you this week. Samuel Johnson from Love Your Sister www.loveyoursister.org Of course Sam’s well known for a host of things not least of which is being a Gold Logie winner for his role as Molly Meldrum in the tele-movie Molly. He starred in a series called The Secret Life of Us and has been in Home and Away. Blue Heelers and a host of other things. We didn’t talk about any of that. One thing that has struck me when doing some research into Sam was this incredible sense of self-assurance you feel when you hear him speak. Always raw and honest. I wanted to experience that. Like most of Australia I know and love Sam through his work to do something about Cancer through the journey he’s been on with his sister Connie who passed away last year. I saw a post by Sa

This week I’m reading a message called To Serve the World Well a message to my son. It’s for somemaxing adviceninnit so I trust you’ll find the value.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Morning Team, This week you get me live, raw and unedited because I didn't have Josh to produce but still wanted to get an episode out. It's the end of the year and I think it's vital to get in step and in check for our 2019. No way was I going to miss getting an episode out. No fanfare. No intro. No exit voiceover. Just you and I. I even stuff the intro up and said Monday Morning Motivation but that's a series I do on Facebook. This is of course the Monday Morning Take Off. I'm chatting about the High Performance Getaway that we just return from last night and some things you can take from what happened on the weekend. www.180.net.au  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whilst in Sydney I caught up with the human dynamo that is Katie Williams. I absolutely LOVE this girl. She is so positive, so happy, so upbeat that you just can’t help to feel the same when you’re around her. We did a podcast not too far back, episode 83 in fact, so there was no great agenda with catching up again other than the fact that I like catching up with her and of course the fact that a dynamo like is so bloody active that they achieve a lot in a short period of time so since our last chat, back in June, Katie has kicked off a few new iniatives including her very own podcast BETTER FOR IT. Go check it out. You’ll notice I haven’t been invited onto the show yet but there’s no hard feelings here. Lol. Seriously though I really hope you enjoy this episode where Katie and I catch up and shoot the breeze. We caught up at 98 Riley Street gym so there may be a little background noise but I think this chat will be more than enough compensation for that. Onto the show.  See acast.com/privacy f

Today’s show featuring Dr Kirk Wilson and a passionate Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner. Kirk is a graduate from both the University of Technology, Sydney and the Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is a highly skilled and experienced acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner. We chatted about anxiety, depression and some interesting studies into alternative treatments which Kirk completed his PHD on. These studies showed 87% remission rate and an average reduction in symptom severity of 55%. These are some absolutely amazing statistics. Throughout our conversation today we chatted about all of this and more. Kirk is a listener of the podcast and reached out to me to share his story and I’m grateful that he did as the conversation was very rich. He evens chats about some changes he’s made, a dream he’s chasing as a result of prompts from this show and I love hearing those stories because that’s the what’s at the core of why I do this show.  See acast.com/privacy for p

This week I chat to Chief Brabon who I had on the show back in October of 2016. This time I happened to be in Sydney and so went to Chief’s house and we sat and shot the breeze about everything that’s happened in his life since that time. Chief has been in the fitness world for a long long time. In fact he was a trainer for the original Gladiators TV show back in the original series where his job was get to the Gladiators themselves ready for the show. They’re athletes but truth is no-one looks good in a one piece grey lycra so Chief had to do what he could to improve that situation and look after the viewing audiences optical nerves in the process. Duty of care and all that jazz. lol These days Chief has hit fame as the celebrity trainer of choice. He really hit the headlines with the amazing transformation of Guy Sebastion and his wife Jules. Then a host of other celebrities where he gets them ready for upcoming roles or body transformation reveals and the like. The best part is he uses a system that YOU ca

This week we’re again on the Melbourne March of guests. I had the good fortune of setting down with Danny Kennedy. Danny is a fellow podcaster who hosts his own show The Fitness and Lifestyle Podcast which was recently featured in the No.1 spot for itunes health and fitness podcasts. A HUGE effort. On top of that Danny is a former professional athlete, a fitness competitor with a crazy rig on him and easily had the best hair in the room during this podcast (check back on my Instagram for the comparison). I was a very distant second. But more than that I found Danny to be shit hot bloke. No BS. Knowledgeable and someone I needed more time with (there’s a story there). I got a bit lost, or at least my uber driver did and I arrived 15 minutes late for the recording. Danny had managed to squeeze me into a tight window so my late arrival really pushed us for time. I promise to revisit with Danny down the track but with all that aside this is a great episode and very informative.  See acast.com/priva

If you don't plan your days or weeks then you're open to whatever happens to you throughout the week.
