If these trees align with natures rhythms, whatā€™s my problem?

Itā€™s a perspective that serves me, I like it.

Lots of people seem to dislike the rich or wealthy. Just becauseā€¦

Itā€™s weird when I hear this kind of talk come from parents.

At some point, that wealth had to be created, it took effort, know-how, and real direction for it to be created.

When we slag the wealthy or rich off, especially in front of our kids, what are we really telling them? Why even try to push them to be successful??

Scarcity mindset and victim hood is contagious, itā€™s one thing to affect ourselves, but we need to remember that some may be watching us and forming their own narrative on the back of the things we say and do.

Loved the movieā€¦

But in real life there is nothing worse than a perpetual Devils Advocateā€¦

Critical thinking is key, downsides and upsidesā€¦yeah I get it, but there is nothing worse than those individuals that never really take a position.

They create more confusion and disharmony, leaving everyone feeling worse and unconfident with no real solutions.

Get off the fence, take a position, back yourself, then live or die!

ā€œCatching some šŸŒžā€

Living in the Dandenong Ranges is conflicting, particularly in winterā€¦.

Itā€™s beautiful but damn itā€™s cold, wet and dark for long periods of time.

Been trying to get ā€œokā€ with winterā€¦. mainly with my moods, energy and the expectations of my output.

Picked up the wonderful book ā€œ Winteringā€ written my .

She talks about the natural process of winter in regards to preparing, slowing down, letting go while accepting and embracing this.

I guess itā€™s easy to forget that Iā€™m an organic creature, designed to align with the earths processes. My will and ego will tell me otherwise.

Whilst the tendency is to think or talk about moving back to warmer climates, something tells me that there is a lesson in all of this for me.

Lord Toranaga from James Clavells novel and recent series, ā€œ Shogunā€ is the portrayal of Tokugawa Ieyasu the Samurai who reunified Japan at the beginning of the 17th century after a long period of civil war. Tokugawa family ruled Japan until 1868. His family were the ā€œlast samuraiā€.

I have long been fascinated with him as a leader and military tactician since I read the novel years ago.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to cement loyalty across the main through his adherence to Bushido. At the time many warrior samurai were not happy with the administrative samurai that were being led by his opposition. The warrior code is what underpinned his leadership.

He had a unique ability to customise his approach to meet and appeal to the individuals ā€œwhyā€, he really knew what made his people tick and how to extract the best out of them. He was able to do this but still maintain uniformity among his people on a macro level because they all were driven and underpinned by a strong interconnected set of values, all born from Bushido.

The lesson for me is to meet people where they are at, change your approach as required, but remember that this must all be cemented in strong overarching values that keeps the group together and aligned, even when disagreements on approach or tactics may arise, the whole wonā€™t fall apart.

Iā€™m glad weā€™ve moved away from the world of Simpsons as acceptable kids programming .

I remember wearing an ā€œIā€™m an underachiever and proud of itā€ shirt as a kid and it probably wasnā€™t the best thing that Homer choked Bart out time and time again. .

In our evolution towards insightful parenting we have now moved to the world of Bluey which I must admit as much as I love, Iā€™m two minds about it.

On one hand it reaches for ideals in terms of parenting, reminding us whatā€™s important and just how precious time with our kids are.

On the other hand, it represents the era of perfect parenting, one where parents never say no, the kids never really fight, and the kids are at the centre of all spontaneity and energy.

I have to admit whilst this show is lovely on so many levels, itā€™s also guilt producing.

The reality is that children thrive when the parents thrive, children thrive when the parents invest in their relationship first.. and you know what, children should learn that they arenā€™t at the centre of everything, all the damn time.

Religion, Spirituality, Philosophy.

These are just some of the tools used to elevate morality.

There is an undeniable truth in human energies and the tendency for them to either point towards higher level or lower level frequencies. For most of us this is a daily moving target depending on where we are at with life, with people and with ourselves.

I have come to believe through the overwhelming evidence that I have been presented with that people that possess a process towards elevated morality are much more content and psychologically sound than those that donā€™t.

In our world of abundance and choice, it seems that people have become lost through disconnection and lack of real community, without having a process that moves them out and above their own s**t.

Iā€™m by no means a religious person, but I do believe in our effort to become independent and ā€œfree thinkingā€ we have totally thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

Faith and trust matter, community matters, transcendence matters.

I will live an analog life one day.

The digital world is exhausting, and as someone that has always moved at 100% pace and has always tried to be responsive to everything all the timeā€¦ well letā€™s just say the being on and accessible at all times has nearly driven me over the edge at times.

And as someone with a podcast and social presence, itā€™s a challenge. But here is how I manage it.

1. I have no social media apps on my phone and delete them as soon as I post.

2. I only respond to social media comments once per week, as such I rarely engage on others content. Itā€™s a sacrifice Iā€™ve needed to make.

3. I pause emails and can only unpause them from my laptop.

The fragmentation of my attention through quick checks of emails and messages used to be debilitating at timesā€¦ making mistakes, ineffective multitasking, lack of presence and a simmering never ending feeling of anxiety which was quite profound.

For years I thought the key was to do more meditation, and whilst thatā€™s definitely helped the answer has been the following.

Plug out of the digital world, and plug into the one thatā€™s unfolding right in front of me, itā€™s called reality.

In running circles the name Prefontaine, University of Oregon and Nike are synonymous.

ā€œ Pre ā€ was a rockstar in running and his life tragically ended well before he truly got going.

Known for his all in style he was dynamite to watch and always left his heart and soul out on the track.

I love this quoteā€¦.for some they might see arrogance, and while thatā€™s probably trueā€¦more so, what I see is a guy that is making a public commitment to push himself and everyone around him to the very edge and beyond.

Thatā€™s courageous.

Preparing our children for the future.

How well are we doing this through the lens of our educational standards?

As an outsider, itā€™s hard to see what the innovation in education looks like.

Classes pretty much look and feel the same but as I have come to learn through firsthand experiences, debates are raging about education and different teaching philosophies.

As a businessperson who is rooted in outcomes, I can find navigating this world extremely tricky as research is abundant with so much credibility, but as with most research, there are countless contradictory perspectives.

Time horizons in terms of impact also vary with kids based on learning styles and other environmental factors. I have found the key is to be engaged with all stakeholders and continually assess progress, in this way itā€™s no different to doing business.

My conversation with Guilia Cuzzilla provides some food for thought for those staring down the path of childhood education.

The quality of your child's education is changing.

Guilia Cuzzilla is my sonā€™s tutor , she has been working with him over the past nine months to fill some of the gaps and strengthen some of his areas of weakness.

Throughout our relationship, I have come to realise that children across the country are experiencing challenges, and whilst this may have always been the case for years, I wanted to talk to Guilia about the educational system, recent changes, and the myriad of varying philosophies that can make navigating the process as a parent super difficult.

Guilia and I have had many robust discussions, Iā€™m not laid back about the topic of our childrenā€™s education, and I appreciate her passion and intensity when it comes to the subject of education and meeting me where I am.

I have learned throughout the last several years that culture has influenced the way we educate, some things are good, and many things are not so good.

As a parent, parent-to-be, or someone interested in the future of our children, I hope that you find that this conversation provokes some thought.

Masculinity should not be synonymous with patriarchy.

Unfortunately it feels like it is these days.

Our boys need to be shown how to work with their constitution and biology.

Instead some forces in society would prefer to dim the light of masculinity or even worse declare war on it.

Women, Families and Society need boys that grow into men that understand, embrace and live through their masculinity.

This is a fact to be recognised.
