Life So Far

27/06/2021

My next conversation is with Ryan Allison. Lead guitarist of Young Lions, a good mate and a man who is wise before his time.

I have known Ryan for years now and we have chatted many times while playing music together but have never actually sat down and had an intentional conversation about his life so far and dreams for the future. Ryan was so open, honest and vulnerable and I was blown away by his wisdom.

Thanks for stopping by and really hope you enjoy and find value from this conversation with Ryan Allison.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at street photography but it’s always been something I was afraid to do. I get nervous with the idea of standing out with a camera. But as I am always telling others to get out of their comfort zone and have a go at something that scares them so I figured Life So Far is a great opportunity to give it a crack and to practice what I preach. I am fascinated by how many people are on this earth all with unique stories and situations. I love the idea of being able to document people going about their everyday lives.

It’s a learning curve but I am excited to give it a go and I hope we can get to a point where these photos tell a story of life so far.

My next guest is Justin Murray a Family man, Techy and Coach living on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Australia.

NEW EPISODE!! :) :)

In this episode, I chatted to Shona Stephenson who is an Ultra Endurance Runner. I have become fascinated with Ultra-Endurance Athletes as I find it incredible how far we can push our bodies if we can harness our mind.
Shona has an amazing story of how she first began running and the ups and downs of her racing career.

Aswell as being a successful athlete Shona also owns and operates as a Personal trainer and professional running coach.

Shona is the Co-founder and Race Director of the Brisbane Trail Ultra which is Brisbane’s biggest and most prestigious ultra trail running event. Find out more about it here : https://bit.ly/2ZYRGag

Shona was incredibly generous with her time and was an absolute pleasure to chat to. We talked in-depth about what Ultrarunning is, tips for new runners and also how we can apply the mental habits and techniques into our everyday lives.

This Chat with Shona has inspired me to get back into running and I am about to sign up to a half marathon just too have a goal to work towards and challenge myself, so let me know if you would be keen on this also :)

New episode 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

In this episode, I chatted to DR Rachel Hannam to learn all about Empathy, why it matters and how we can practice it more in our own life. It was a fantastic conversation with a lot of fun and so much value that Rachel generously shared. I learnt so much in this chat and know that you all will to.
So who is Rachel Hannam?
Rachel is the Director of Northside Brisbane Psychologists. Rachel has been a registered psychologist since 2002. She has consulted to organisations, working with doctors, nurses, teachers, pilots, lawyers, managers and executives, and gained broad experience in coaching individuals and groups. In 2006, Rachel was awarded her PhD which looked at psychological burnout and resilience.
Rachel’s focus is on understanding your unique self to gain awareness of what triggers you, what drives you, and what holds you back. Rachel is relaxed. She uses humour and questioning to help you to reclaim your power and take responsibility for your own life.
Rachel also has a podcast called Help Me! I’m a Comedian on ABC Radio which is really fantastic, so go and check that out also:) I find Rachel has a real gift in explaining complex topics in easy to understand and digest ways.
If you have been thinking about seeing a Psychologist I would highly recommend Rachel or one of her team.

Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself?

So often I find myself weighed down and held back by my inner dialogue. It’s so easy to start beating yourself up internally and getting down on yourself for no reason.

I am learning more and more that almost always the negative and harsh things I tell myself are totally false and not helpful at all.

The counsellor I see gave me some great ways to notice when I am negative self talking, silence it and look at reality with an more caring, optimistic and constructive dialogue. We talk about it in Episode 18 of the podcast.

Asking yourself if you would talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself is a good way to identify negative self-talk and to be more loving towards yourself.

I hope this has been helpful to some of you. I am no expert but am just sharing what I learn!

Keep going:)

THIS EPISODE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT... I have been really struggling to find direction and my “Why” behind the podcast and knew that in order to create the most value for you all I need to figure out a way to articulate my motivation behind it and create a plan to help me reach those goals. I wanted to record this as an episode as I know that so many others are struggling with this also and knew there is a ton of value to be gained from it. I am so excited for the future now that I have a clear direction!
_

Jonno White is a close friend of mine and is brilliant at using a framework to help people articulate what is on their mind and create a plan to achieve it. He founded and runs where he aims to help leaders be the best they can be.
I was super open and vulnerable in this one and the episode does go for a longer time than usual so feel free to skip this one if you have already got this sorted but if you have a dream in your heart but can’t articulate it from your head and don’t know where to start this will be really powerful for you😀. Hope you guys are going great and let me know if you get value from this episode!

Cheers

I chatted to Richard Fay about how to spot the signs of mental health issues in ourselves and what to do about it. Taken from EP18 of The Rich Bryant Podcast

In Ep18 of the podcast I chatted to Richard Fay who is an expert in the field of mental health. He explained the differences between stress, anxiety and depression and gave practical exercises and tips on how to overcome them.

In EP18 I sat down with Richard Fay to discuss all things mental health. We chatted about the importance of taking time to be present in the moment and he explained ways to help us do that more. Taken from EP18 of The Rich Bryant Podcast.

How to stay mentally fit during quarantine and beyond with Richard Fay.

So excited to be able to share this with you all!
In these crazy, stressful and uncertain times it is critical that we stay in tune with our mental health. As well as focusing on being physically fit we need to make sure that we stay mentally fit.
If you are anything like me, the fact that the gyms are closed and we are all in quarantine made me start to focus on finding ways to stay physically fit. I noticed though that I took no time to work on my mental fitness also. I decided i needed to find an expert in the field who could not only teach us about our mental health but also provide practical tools that we can use to condition our mental fitness.

Richard is a professional councillor and CEO of The Centre For Men And Families. I have previously had sessions with Richard regarding my own personal health and found that not only is he full of knowledge but also provides practical tools to improve and safeguard our mental health.

I know there is so much value in this conversation and know that we can all use the learnings to improve our mental health. If you find value in this please share it with your friends and family so that they can experience Richards wisdom also!

Let me know in the comments what you got out of it and please consider subscribing to the podcast to stay up to date and join the community 🙂

Do you want your relationship with your children, spouse & friends to be the strongest they can possibly be during this time of Isolation and beyond?
I know I certainly do and that is exactly why I decided to sit down and chat with John Rutter from The Fathering Project to gain valuable and actionable knowledge to enhance our relationships and help us to live our best lives.

John has had years of experience studying human behaviour and running mental health and personal development programs. In this episode, he explains in detail the principles of creating stronger, healthier and long-lasting relationships. Although John is talking about principles from the fathering project, these principles are not just applicable to dads. These can be applied in many aspects of our life and in all different relationships.

John is an absolute legend and I had a great time chatting and learning from him.
Please enjoy this conversation with John Rutter.

Happy Friday Everyone!
On this episode, I sat down with Michael Petersen. Michael is the founder and director of Pivotus which is a digital marketing agency. In this crazy time of Coronavirus with so many people around the world now working remotely from home, I thought it would be valuable to chat to someone who has been doing it for years to gain some practical tips on how to be more effective, productive and happy while doing it. We ended up covering all this and so much more. We chatted about goal setting, using lists, books that have helped him grow, the why behind this podcast, lawns, and Karaoke.

I hope you enjoy this super wide-ranging conversation with Michael Petersen.

Have a great day :)

New is episode is finally up!!

On this episode, I sat down with Piers Kwan. If you are anything like me, you are finding that the gym is closed and motivation is starting to dwindle. I wanted to seek someone out who was an expert in the fitness & mobility field and could share some actionable tips for us all so that we come out the other side of isolation in similar or better shape then when we started. Piers was just that Guy!!

Piers Kwan is a Gym Owner, Certified Personal Trainer, SFG II certified (The gold standard in Kettlebell training, learnt under Pavel Tsatsouline in the USA)
Original Strength Instructor, FMS certified (Movement screen used to evaluate movement and predict injuries), Ground Force Instructor and

As always thanks for listening and have a great day!

I made this little graphic because I could not find a nice one on the web..I do love a good motivational saying and "Progress over Perfect" is definitely mine for 2020. Too many times I have given up because something wasn't at the level or standard I wanted it to be. The many false starts of the podcast are the perfect example of this. I would always compare myself to all the other podcasters out there even though most of them are 5 plus years ahead of me on the journey!!! No more of that crap, from now on I have made it my mission to focus on the progress and not the perfection. Of course I always want to do my absolute best however that level can only get better with time and experience.
I want to encourage you all to think about how this applies to your own journey. Are you getting bogged down by making things perfect rather than just getting after it, getting it done and making progress?
I am no motivational expert (far from it😜), I am just a dude trying to live his best life and want to encourage you guys to do the same. If you have read this far, thank you and let me know in the comments if this resonates with you at all 🙂
P.s feel free to still the image for your own use!

Just uploaded the latest episode! I am calling these the ISO SESSIONS as it seems like this is how the episodes will be for a while:)

In this episode, I sat down (virtually) with COREY FORREST. Corey is a Doctor currently working in NICU Pediatrics at the Goldcoast Hospital. He is quite possibly one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. In this chat, we talked about why he wanted to become a doctor in the first place and his passions and goals for the future. We chat about his time in Nepal as a student doctor there and the adventures and moments he had on the trip.

This was the first Zoom chat I have done for the podcast and due to Corona, I think there will be many more to come.

It is a crazy time to be alive right now and we all need a way to process our thoughts and emotions...

In the latest episode with Phil Slade we chatted about Digital Journaling. I have been using Decida's Digital Journel for a couple of weeks now in conjunction with their physical 10 minute Journal and I have noticed a MASSIVE difference in my productivity, emotional awareness and just overall happiness.

The Digital Journey is completely free and just becomes a contact in your messenger list. Have a go and see how it works for you, I would love to know how you find it!
