Olympic silver-medalist, advocate & speaker, Founder of the nonprofit Switch4Good, and someone who has a really powerful story of overcoming addiction to go on to perform at the highest levels. 

This was a brilliant conversation with Dotsie Bauch, diving into 2 interesting topics, which we've split across 2 episodes of the podcast.

FIRSTLY - unpacking her story & exploring how she was able to build much more productive habits, an empowering mindset, and channel her energy away from destructive addictions towards more productive & fulfilling pursuits. 

Dotsie battled anorexia & other addictive behaviors before she was able to ultimately go on to train her body & mind, such that she was able to become an Olympic Silver Medalist in Cycling.

She shares her thoughts around cultivating a sense of drive, how to use suffering as an advantage, breaking away from bad habits, & more.

- Is there a tendency for people to stress too much and make decisions based on the wrong reasons, and as a result rob themselves of joy?

- Why is joy/fulfillment so elusive at times for so many people? / What gets in the way?

- Self-Esteem; your thoughts or pillars for building a stronger self-esteem?

Sarah Davidson - Creating Joy in Life & Business with Creator of Seize The Yay!

Are You Breathing Wrong?

Are you robbing yourself of more energy & a calmer state of being? This episode could genuinely be a GAME-CHANGER for you.

I'm joined by James Nestor,; Journalist & breathing expert,  plus the author of: Breath: the new science of a lost art.

He's featured on massive podcasts like Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, School of Greatness with Lewis Howes, and many more.

Here's a snapshot of what we get to in this chat:

HOW is the way we breath having a negative or positive impact on our life? 

What symptoms could perhaps be correlated with poor breathing?

What’s the benefits people can expect, if we learn to improve our Breathing? Sleep? Performance? Sense of calm?

So most people will recognise times when they’ve improved their breathing they’ve felt better - What’s actually happening in the body that allows this?

How we all may be "Anatomically predisposed to be breathing improperly”

Some takeaway notes for people to start optimising their breathing TODAY?

The different effects each nostril can have - they serve different purposes?

Impact on the immune system?

Best breathing to:
Calm anxiety / think clearly 
Boost energy 

Should we breathing more or less?

Rick Mirabella - Expert Running Coach On Performance, Mindset & Enjoying Your Training!

Tune in to hear me on the OTHER SIDE of a podcast convo!

I was fortunate enough to feature as a guest on Runnez Radio Podcast with Rick Mirabella recently, to talk all things Mindset & Mental Health.

It was fantastic to have a platform to expand a bit more on my personal story navigating through depression, anxiety & traumatic brain injury that took place from a bar fight back in April 2015.

I certainly don't have all the answers though a large part of my life in the past 5 years has been deeply exploring anything that relates to optimising the body, mind & psyche of humans.

I was first passionate about learning in this field solely to help myself - I was in a NASTY place mentally and emotionally, and I was looking for ideas to help feel 'normal' again.

That soon became an obsession, and pretty quickly I was committed to share powerful ideas, strategies and philosophies that may help other people navigate their own journey towards fulfilment and a sound state of mental wellbeing.

In this chat with Rick - who, btw is a legend - we casually explore different lessons learned along the way and provide tips & strategies to dramatically improve how we feel on a daily basis.

We share a few laughs throughout too - I suppose that's what you get when you put 2 'big' personalities in a room together with a couple of mics!

Enjoy guys.

Dan Kennedy | THIS Is How To Get The Body You Want!

On this show I tend to follow my own curiosity to determine which guests to bring on the show and what topics to unpack and share with you guys...

Lately, I've been wildly fascinated with the world of TRAUMA - all the intricacies of how trauma both as a child and as an adult can drastically impact the human experience... on both a psychological and biological level.

On this episode, I'm joined by Jessica Lowe, the create of the @cptsd.hope account on Instagram, providing useful info, tools and inspiration for those affected by complex trauma.

This is largely motivated from her own experience as a child, which she touches on in this chat.

For anyone that has experienced trauma, knows someone who has, or who is simply curious about the lasting impacts that even the 'smallest' traumas can have on our body, brains and psyche - then you'll enjoy this episode.

We only scratch the surface of this deep field of conversation, however there's some gold in here and it was super interesting to hear Jess's story, perspective and thoughts on this  topic.

NOTE: There are a couple of moments throughout this chat where the audio/technology falters. I do apologize. Hopefully your listening experience is not too heavily impacted, and you still get tremendous value from this chat!

In the midst of continued lockdown here in Melbourne, I have time on my hands...

Naturally, my mind wanders to a more introspective state. Also quite naturally for me - I felt compelled to 'think out loud', and so here I share 3 really powerful lessons that I've noticed in recent months.

A couple of personal stories and examples, but I really think all 3 of these lessons will land with you guys, and offer something of value to consider... to help feel clearer, and less 'stuck' mentally & emotionally.

3 Powerful Lessons I've Learned Recently...

This is an episode tailored for all the fellas out there - though for any women who want to tune in, no doubt you'll find it interesting also.

I speak with Kybor Garner today - A Coach and facilitator doing great work in the 'Men's Space' to help men level up, free themselves from limiting conditions and beliefs, and integrate their 'shadow' selves to become full expressed.

This sounds a bit abstract I know - but there really is a mountain of work to be done for blokes out there today... who are feeling stuck, and living a 'small' life in terms of society deems is the norm.

Pretty chill convo, but some powerful ideas in this one!

Are we fully expressing our true nature? What is the consequence of not doing so? Are we fully connected to our kin? Certainly questions worth exploring, which we touch on in this brief chat.

Kybor Garner - Importance Of A Brotherhood And Integrating Our 'Shadow'

Do you find yourself pondering if there's more to life? To YOUR life?

Do you feel a little 'lost' at times, and lacking any real passion and sense of purpose in your career, hobbies etc?

THIS is absolutely the episode for you.

Kirstene ('KC') helps people unlock their passion & purpose. She helps people design careers that light them up!

Now listen - this idea of creating a life of passion and purpose is arguably one of the most important conversations to have... 

The challenge is, a lot of information out there is too abstract and doesn't help move the needle for those of us who still feel entirely 'lost'.

Well, KC can truly help. This was one of my favourite conversations I've had on this show... 

If you're someone who feels a little lost, dreads their day-to-day, or simply just wants to explore what it is that's missing from YOUR life... then I think you'll love this episode...

We talk about best practices to help identify interests, and the process of turning something into a fully fledged passion, that's aligned with YOUR natural human design.

We explore the different 'archetypes' in this chat too, which help tremendously when it comes to identifying what it is that will light YOU up.

Which archetype are you!?

Today we’re talking Money, Mindset & Manifestation...

From a slightly different perspective than you may have been exposed to previously… as I'm joined by Sam Daily.

This is one of the most enjoyable chats I've had on the show, and perhaps one of the most insightful! You guys are going to get a LOT out of this one.

We cover:

- The cosmic mix of the ‘spiritual’ and the ‘tangible’... What does this look like exactly?

‘Being a ‘magnet’ for money…

How do we make sure we spend the majority of our time in that state of abundance?

What is perhaps something most people HAVEN’T considered that is probably keeping them stuck in a bad money cycle? 

How do we break the cycle?

A ‘lack’ mindset - what does this look like and how does it impact people’s ability to grow personally, and of course financially? 

How do we ‘condition’ ourselves for wealth?

Imposter Syndrome and limiting beliefs about ourselves, the world, and our capacity to generate and keep money.

Importance of healthy money habits…

Firstly, shout-out to my homie Aubrey Marcus, and his book 'Own The Day'. I could not recommend this book to you more aggressively.

Your commute in the morning, should be the perfect sanctuary to EITHER practice mindfulness, or, level up your mindset in some capacity.
