You've just 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: been yelling at me to wear my headphones and then 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: telling me, telling me that my background looks shit. My 45 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: office looks shit and can you get one of those 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: fake background I mean, firstly, I'm not getting paid for that. 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm not getting paid. I'm definitely not getting paid for 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: the abuse that I take. I'm old, you need to 49 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: be delicate with me. I'm a precious little thing. 50 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: Can now I am a bit bossy. 51 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I feel like this is elderly abuse. That's what it's like. 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: That's what I don't I mean, it could be a 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: cry for help everyone. I'm not sure. We'll see how 54 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: it goes. I'll let you go, let the audience monitor 55 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: see whether or not there needs to be an intervention. 56 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm sure they'll let us know. Hey, 57 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: we we had a coffee the other day and we 58 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: were having a chat and I was I've been thinking 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: about it for the last couple of days, yes, and 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: thought that it would make any And it's not something 61 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: that we haven't talked about before, but I don't think 62 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: we've talked about it in depth. And I think it's 63 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 2: one of those things that evolves and it just it's 64 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: just been playing on my mind, so I wanted to 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: talk about it. Do you remember what we were talking about? 66 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: Well, we didn't. We spend an hour together. I don't 67 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: know which bit when we were talking about your presentation 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: and and no. 69 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: Not that, not that specifically we were talking so I 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: know it ended up because because we have talked about 71 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: this stuff before, I was like, we'll have a bit 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: of a riff. But I also spent some time writing 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: down some questions, so I might we're gonna have a chat, 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: and then I might refer to some of these questions 75 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: and just you can just riff on them. It was 76 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: about that idea. It's the concept for me of the 77 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: space between who we are and who we want to 78 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: be and the experience of being emotional beings in the 79 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: middle of that, trying to put it all together and 80 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: have perspective. So we were talking about times when we 81 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: I you, I know I have. I'm saying there's been 82 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: times when I have had emotional responses to situations that 83 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: aren't in alignment with how I want to support people 84 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: or how I want to feel. But despite that desire 85 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: and that sense of self in a moment, sometimes I 86 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: emotionally react differently. 87 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the idea of you know, when 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: we think about personal development and human behavior and psychology 89 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: and self help and all of the stuff that's in 90 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: your wheelhouse and my wheelhouse. We're talking like right now, 91 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, methodically and logically, and you know, we're exploring 92 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: these concepts and constructs with our brain, and we're you know, 93 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: we're trying to in a way understand things, solve problems, plan, strategize. 94 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: You know, who I want to be and how I 95 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: want to be moving forward is very much a cognitive process. 96 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: I want to be leaner or I want to be healthier. 97 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: I want to be less reactive. I want to be 98 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: more calm, I want to be more empathetic, more aware. 99 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: I want to be a kind of human. I want 100 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: to you know, be a values driven person. I want 101 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: to walk my talk. I want to live in alignment. 102 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. All of these are ideas and concepts 103 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: and intentions. None of those things are emotions. But the 104 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: problem with us is we are We're very logical when 105 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: we're planning and strategizing and timelining and building a protocol 106 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: and an operating system, and then the kaka hits the 107 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: fan and we're emotional idiots. We're like, all the fucking 108 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: reason and logic and planning and intentions and strategies and 109 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: structure and who I am and who I want to 110 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: be and over the next twelve months, I'm going to 111 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: do this and do that. And that's good. But quite 112 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: often we default too who we've been and how we've 113 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: been rather than who we want to be and how 114 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: we want to be. So it's trying to be really practical. 115 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: Am I an emotional creature? Yes I am, because we 116 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: all are. That doesn't mean that you're having a breakdown 117 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: or crying every day. It could be different emotions that 118 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: drive you. But you know, the logic and the kind 119 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: of intention of how I want to be moving forward 120 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: isn't a natural byproduct in the future just because I 121 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: want it. We need to do the work. And like 122 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: I think I said to you the other day, something 123 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: like like you and I ll full disclosure. You can 124 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: edit this if you want, but I'm not going to 125 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: say anything that's not true. So you and I had, 126 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,559 Speaker 1: let's call it a moment, We had a moment about 127 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: a month or two ago where there was just some 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: shit that went down that wasn't nothing, you know, dark 129 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: or sinister, but and it was really a lack of 130 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: communication and misunderstanding and maybe both of us assuming things 131 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: that weren't true, right, And then in the middle, now 132 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: both of us were pretty emotional, you know, not yelling 133 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: and screaming, but it was just like, but just and 134 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: even you know me, who does what I do and 135 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: I teach all this stuff and I talk about it 136 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: and I write about it and I'm doing a doctorate 137 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: in it and all that stuff. Underneath all of you know, 138 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the knowledge and awareness and whatever academic bullshit, I'm still 139 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: an emotional human, you know. And it's trying to regulate 140 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: and manage and navigate emotions moving forward, which I think 141 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: quite often is the biggest determinant. It's like everyone's a 142 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: theoretical champion, But let me see how you do all 143 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: this stuff when you are emotional, when you are angry, 144 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: when you are depressed, when you are and I'm not 145 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: saying it's easy, by the way, but in the middle 146 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: of the emotional turmoil and shitfest that is just day 147 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: to day for most of us at times, trying to 148 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: be that thing that you want to become. That's where 149 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: the rubber hits the road, and that's where it's just 150 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: sets and wraps. It's just repetition. It's just like up, yep, 151 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: fucked up. You know, fuck up, step up, fuck up, 152 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: step up, you know, fuck up less, step up more, 153 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: fuck up less, step up more, and eventually there might 154 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: be you know, that thing that used to trigger you 155 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: doesn't trigger you, or it doesn't trigger you as much. 156 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Or that feeling that you used to have when someone 157 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: did that thing or said that thing. That's not a 158 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: nine out of ten, that's a three out of ten. 159 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Now that's not because the stimulus is different or what 160 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: they're saying is different. It's that you are now different 161 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: because you've done the work. You know. It's real personal 162 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: to growth. Real personal growth is it's tough. It's not 163 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: an idea, and it's not a book, and it's not 164 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: a workshop, and it's not a podcast, and it's not 165 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: a conversation between harps and tip. It's a fucking roll 166 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: your sleeves up, get uncomfortable, stay uncomfortable, get back up, repeat. 167 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: You know that's it for. It doesn't mean that it's 168 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's this perpetual bag of misery. It's not. 169 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: But you know, real growth, real resilience, real development, real adaptation, 170 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: real evolution does not happen in comfort or fun. 171 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: I know, when with the surface level, when I think 172 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: back to surface level stuff and I and I've known 173 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: this for a long time and been mindful of it, 174 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: that I had this great ability, which I think most 175 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: people do, of making decisions and then justifying them and 176 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: believing them afterwards to a version that it's so, why 177 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: didn't I Why didn't I finish that thing? Why didn't 178 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: I keep going in that direction? Why did I give up? 179 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: Why do I self sabotage and realizing that I talk 180 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: a bit of bullshit and then I believe it, Like 181 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: I make decisions based on emotion and then I come 182 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: up with a comfortable story and I don't even analyze that. 183 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 2: And I think these days I see that now that 184 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: plays out in a way more maybe more detrimental way 185 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: in relationships because they're more emotional and then they involve 186 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: other people. Yeah, interactions, they're not just facts. They're not 187 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: just oh I did this thing. It's oh, there's my 188 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: side of the story and my experience in my version 189 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: of what I've put together, because I had a feeling 190 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: and an emotion about a thing that I mightn't even 191 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: be consciously aware of. 192 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: Yes, well, what you're talking about is really high level 193 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: self awareness, which is it's a challenge, you know, it's 194 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: and you know, we don't like being wrong. We don't 195 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: like going, hey, look there's some shit going on and 196 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm the problem. How many people say that? How many 197 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: people have come to me over the years and spoken 198 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: to me about a problematic relationship but with their mom, 199 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: or with their partner, or with their boss, or with 200 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: their next door neighbor or whoever, and gone, ah, there's 201 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: all this shit going on with such and such, and 202 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm the problem. Like nobody says that. Nobody says that 203 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: because they don't want to be the problem. But you know, 204 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: and there are, of course, there are a time when 205 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: the person you are talking to actually isn't the problem 206 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: at all. But it is tough to realize that. You know, 207 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: for most of us, we're going to be at least 208 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: part of the problem most of the time. And that's 209 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, there's that almost like that four step step 210 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: self awareness process, which is a step one is self reflection, 211 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: is where you really deeply just ponder and consider like 212 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: what's going on, and then your role in that and 213 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: your part in that, and you know, there's the event 214 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: as you spoke about, or the thing that happens, then 215 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: your response to it. So this is really in the 216 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: self reflection phase where you're trying to without i mean 217 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: easier said than done, but without too much emotion, just 218 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: reflect on what's happening. And then the next step of 219 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: that is when you go, oh, well, this is what's happening, 220 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: this is what I'm doing and not doing, which is 221 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: self awareness. And then step three of that is self 222 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: regulation and now where you realize a thing you need 223 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: to try and manage or regulate yourself, your behavior, your emotions, 224 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: your words, your actions and reactions, your outcomes differently. And 225 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: then the fourth step of that is self actualization, where oh, 226 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: you are becoming the person you want to become. You are, 227 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: you are, how you want to be and who you 228 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: want to be. And so for people who want to 229 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: take notes, I'll say it again, So like self reflection, 230 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: that's the part where you're just like as objective as 231 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: you can or objectively as you can, which is easier 232 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: said than done always, but try to just go okay, 233 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: and what is really going on? Is this about tif? 234 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: Is this about me? Is this about both of us? 235 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: Did that thing that she was she really the problem was, 236 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: you know whatever? So we're just trying to consider the 237 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: thing that's going on and our role in the thing 238 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: that's going on. And then once we can acknowledge or 239 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: have that level of awareness, now we're in self awareness, 240 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: which is good, and that level of self awareness opens 241 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: a door for us to be able to try to 242 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: change around that, you know, which is self regulation. And 243 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: then through that process, then we become over time, with 244 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: that humility and that awareness and that process and that work, 245 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: we become different, which is, you know, a form of 246 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: self actualization where you're becoming who you want to be 247 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: and how you want to be. So even if all 248 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: the stimuli around you are similar or identical, or the 249 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: situation or the circumstance or the people or the job 250 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: or the task or the challenge is kind of the same. 251 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: Now because you've done the work, you're different, and so 252 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: the experience for you is different, and also the experience 253 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: of you for others is different. 254 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: How do you deal with when we like, feelings of 255 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: jealousy or insecurity or the stuff that pops up, how 256 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: do you acknowledge the those feelings and separate them or 257 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: manage them around the behavior that you want to exhibit. 258 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a really good question. So let's go 259 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: for me, or not for me necessarily, but for anyone. 260 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think of some of those so 261 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: jealousy insecurity, resentment, fear, which is more global than just 262 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: a negative, but it's a disempowering belief anyway or state 263 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: or feeling. So fear, resentment, jealousy insecurity, I reckon even 264 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: like indifferent sometimes, But I think the way that in 265 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: the context of this kind of awareness conversation, I try 266 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: to treat it with curiosity. I'm like, oh, that's interesting. 267 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: I think I told you the other day about the 268 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: dude that would show me motorbike out the front of 269 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: the cafe, you know, And so I'll tell our listeners, 270 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: your listeners. So a guy was, you know, a newbie 271 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: to motorbikes, and he had a new motorbike, good little motorbike. 272 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: It was little. It was a two point fifty, which, 273 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: if you know anything about motorbikes is pretty small engine 274 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: and all that. But great. He was excited and I 275 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: looked at the bike. I walked out and I went, 276 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: nice bike, you know, because I knew it was new, 277 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: and he looked like a learner, and I said, is 278 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: it new? He said, oh, yeah, like three months or whatever. 279 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: I was just talking to him and I said, well done, 280 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: you know. And the funny thing is I kind of 281 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: realized a couple of seconds after this encounter. I wanted 282 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: him to go, oh, wow, you know, are you into motorbikes? 283 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: Because I wanted to tell him about my motorbikes. Right, 284 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: So I was in this moment looking for approval, which 285 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: is not insecure at all, because and then maybe maybe 286 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: even I don't think think so, but look, maybe even 287 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: just assert a little bit of superiority. Oh well you've 288 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: got that, I've got these, but he didn't ask. And 289 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh fuck, this is hilarious. But I'm 290 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: pretty sure in the moment I became aware of what. Firstly, 291 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: I did want to make him feel good, and I 292 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: did want to acknowledge his bike and say, hey, you know, 293 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: it's a jungle out there, ride safe and all that 294 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: stuff that I always say to new writers. But I 295 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: also wanted him to know that the shit that I 296 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: had in my garage right, because that's good for my ego. 297 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: And the funny thing was he didn't. He wasn't at 298 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: all interested, and yeah, that's just that where and after that, 299 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that is fucking hilarious at myself. I'm like, 300 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: you are hilarious. Look at you. You want to get 301 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: the approval and recognition of some person you've never met 302 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: on Hampton Street. You want them to be impressed by you, Like, 303 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: what the fuck is wrong with you? Mister fucking human behavior? 304 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: You know all that, But this is what we do, 305 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: you know. And the challenge with this is you are 306 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: always going to fuck up because you're human. We are 307 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: always going to be you know. It's like I wrote 308 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: a thing yesterday about being scared, or maybe it was 309 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: this morning, I don't know, but you know, you're always 310 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: going to be a bit scared of something. Being scared 311 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: is not weakness, like being insecure or resenting someone or 312 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: being a bit jealous doesn't mean you're a horrible person. 313 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: It means that you're human. But the challenge is in 314 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: the middle of our humanity to try to recognize what's 315 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: going on, maybe have a laugh at ourselves and go hey, harps, 316 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: come on, do better. You don't need this, Like it's 317 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: actually mister hay have a purpose bigger than you. Just 318 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: make him feel great and fuck off, Like make him 319 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: feel great and get the fuck out of the way, 320 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: so you don't need to take your ego for a run, 321 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, and like all of that goes on in 322 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: my head, you know, in thirty seconds. It's great when 323 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: you lean into your own behavior and you start to 324 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: really you know, metacognition that open that metacognitive door of 325 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: thinking about why you think this way and why you 326 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: talk this way, and metacognition even spills into emotions and well, 327 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: why I respond this way? You know, these are great 328 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: things to ask if you are on the journey of 329 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: I want to be better than I currently am. 330 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: Do you get curious about or do you think what 331 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: do you think feeds into those maybe reoccurring experiences we 332 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 2: might that we might have, and what can we explore 333 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 2: to start getting a better understanding of what we might 334 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: need out of running into them. If it's something that 335 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: happens all the time, like if that's a repetitive thing, 336 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 2: because the first thing it normally happens is with no 337 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 2: self awareness, we do that, we have that conversation, we 338 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: walked away like he was a bit of a dick. Yeah, 339 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 2: And we don't even think about why we decide he's 340 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 2: a bit of a dick. We just go he was 341 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: a bit of a dick. 342 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: Right, So I think some of the things, not all 343 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: the things that some of the things that drive my 344 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: ah less these days, but still, you know, it lingers 345 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: my need for people to like me or think I'm good, 346 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: or you know, to belong or to be accepted, or 347 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: is from being the kid who wasn't accepted and didn't 348 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: belong and all of that shit. Right, And you know, 349 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: you can have all the knowledge you can get, the whatever, 350 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: all the qualifications, all the knowledge or the understanding, all 351 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: the insight, it doesn't change who you are at your core. 352 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: It just changes what you know. It just changes your skills, 353 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: It just changes perhaps your awareness, but you're still you. 354 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: Like there's part of me that's still the fat fourteen 355 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: year old insecure. Please love me, please pick me, please 356 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: let me belong to your group, please notice me. There's 357 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: part of me that and I know that it doesn't 358 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: run my life and it doesn't control me. But I 359 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: feel like with our psychological and emotional issues and even 360 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: mental health issues, at times, I don't know that I 361 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: don't know that we have evidence that we truly, ever, 362 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: one hundred percent overcome them. I think what is more 363 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: likely is that meta turning it into a metaphor. Let's 364 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: say that we turn down the volume on it and 365 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: it hasn't less of an influence on us, and we 366 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of coexist with it. Like I've said this many 367 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: times to you, I can get up to do corporate 368 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: gig to a thousand people where I'm getting paid lots 369 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: of dough, I'm in a great, big room, and there's 370 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: like it would absolutely fill most people with terror, But 371 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm relatively confident and comfortable because I've done it a lot. 372 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: But also at the same time, I can still be 373 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: feeling not good enough and insecure, but I just recognize 374 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: that feeling for what it is. You know, it's an 375 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: idea or it's a something that's a byproduct of, you know, 376 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: lots of years of not being the guy up there 377 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: that was accepted or whatever. So yeah, I think to it. 378 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: It's like I was talking with Dr Jody about anxiety 379 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: and the funny thing or one of the interesting things 380 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: about anxiety is and panic attacks, for example, is you 381 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: know when someone's in the middle of a panic attack, 382 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: you feel like you're going to die, You feel like 383 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: your heart's going to stop, you like it's the worst 384 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: feeling of all time. But when you know, like I've 385 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: been around quite a few people having panic attacks and 386 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: usually I'll say something like how many times do you 387 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: reckon you've been through a panic attack? And they'll often 388 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: say hundreds, and I'll go and statistically, you didn't die 389 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: any of those times. I go, well that's good, and 390 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: they laugh a bit. I go, so, look, chances are 391 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a guru in this space, but look, 392 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: probably not going to die and they laugh. Right, But 393 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: here's the truth, Like we know, as horrible as this feels, 394 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: that's the emotion, that's the feeling, that's the physiology. The 395 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: knowledge is the awareness is the logic is I'll get 396 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: through this, do you know what I mean? So I 397 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: think the human experience is, you know, in the one 398 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: human is this collaboration and conflict and coexistence of what 399 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: we know and what we feel. And I think that's 400 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: every day all the time. 401 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 2: Do you feel like when you have moments of like 402 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: friction or fuck ups in this type of space, do 403 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 2: you feel like you go to a place of like broke, 404 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 2: like seeing that is where you're broken, or do you 405 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: go to a place of I'm a I'm at the 406 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: edge of a breakthrough. I'm about to learn something. 407 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: Yeah. Or the other option or another option, which is 408 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: more me is when I do something and this is 409 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: a bad thing that I do. This is I'm not 410 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 1: proud of this, but I get really angry at myself 411 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: for not doing good work. Like if I go and 412 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: I do a gig, I do a speaking giga workshop, 413 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: a keynodor and this got zero to do with the 414 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: money or the commercial viability of this or that. It's 415 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: just yeah, and I when I make a mistake or 416 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: I don't think I've delivered what I could. Yeah, I'm 417 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: very hard on myself. Like I beat myself up, which 418 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: I shouldn't. But at the same time, yeah, like these things, 419 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: but I try to learn through that. I try to 420 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: go all right, well, what is that about? Like I 421 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: told you before we started, right, and your listeners maybe 422 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: don't know, but I've got a thing called you station 423 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: tube dysfunction, which is ETD, And like right now, my 424 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: left ear is blocked and there's no sympathy required or 425 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: anything like that, but it's this conversation is fifty percent 426 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: harder right now than a normal conversation for me because 427 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: my voice is echoing in my head right, so my 428 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: left ear is totally blocked. I can't hear out of 429 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: my left ear. And this just happens on and off. 430 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: Listeners comes, it goes, and there's no rhyme or reason, 431 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: but it's been happening a lot. I probably need to 432 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: go have an operation, but I can't, you know, I 433 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: just go, well, it's here. I just need to be 434 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: as present and as focused and as competent as I can, 435 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: because I this is the funny thing with me. I 436 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: could do a thirty or forty minute podcast with you 437 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: where ten people listen, and I know a lot more 438 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: people listen than that, but where ten people listen and 439 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: it's you and me, and I care as much about 440 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: this being good as I do a highly paid corporate 441 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: gig to a thousand people, because for me, like talking 442 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: to an audience where I'm sharing you know, whatever thoughts, 443 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: ideas knowledge, information, inspiration where you might impact one person 444 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: or more like, it's a real responsibility and a privilege. 445 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: So even though you know me sitting right here in 446 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: my office and you and your office and me with 447 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: my ear blocked, and it's a Saturday AVO and it's 448 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: all a bit whatever, I still care a lot. So 449 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: I when I'm doing my thing, I every single time 450 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: I try and bring the best version of me to that. 451 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 2: MT. What what about you and self compassion? 452 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? 453 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: Next, Yeah, I thought that must be a tough one. Yeah, 454 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: I feel like you're really I feel like you're really 455 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: self aware, and I think I feel like you care deeply. 456 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: But I also think I get a sense that you 457 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: have a lot of boundaries around your own Yeah. I 458 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: don't know if you're I don't know how you are 459 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: with self compassion. I'm interested. 460 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not great at it. I mean, I don't 461 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: beat myself up. I don't. Well that's not true. I 462 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: just said sometimes I do, but engen like I don't 463 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: sit at home going you're a useless piece of shit. 464 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: I hate myself. You know, there's none of that. But look, 465 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean this is you know, this is one of 466 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: those moments when you're on a podcast and you think, fuck, 467 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: do I keep opening the door or do I just 468 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: pull it a bit closed? Yeah? All right, So I 469 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: don't this does sound like self loathing. It isn't.

I 481 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: don't know, like a lot of kids seem to have 482 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: something that they're just really naturally inherently great at, which 483 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: kind of becomes almost like a social badge or a 484 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: stepping stone to I wasn't at anything, and I'm like, 485 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: maybe the only thing I was kind of good at 486 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: because I had to be was communication, you know, was 487 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: like chatting was like I always had kind of the 488 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: gift to the gap and that, you know, And I 489 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: literally got in trouble at school for that and literally 490 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: got told by more than one teacher, you know, pull 491 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: your head in. Nobody's ever going to pay to listen 492 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: to you speak, so you should do some work so 493 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: you can get a job. And they weren't even trying 494 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: to be They're like, hey, sure, shape, I know you're 495 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: great at talking, but that's not a job, so just 496 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: do your fucking maths, you know. And I'm like and 497 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: at the time I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. It 498 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: turns out not totally true. Yeah, but look, I don't like, 499 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm relatively content with who I am and how I am, 500 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: but I'm always not in an anxious way, but I'm 501 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm always kind of tweaking and pushing, and you know, 502 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm really curious about broadly human potential, what we can 503 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: do be, create, change, learn, how we can evolve everything 504 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: from you know, can you do a PhD when you're 505 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: not very academic and you're in your sixties? There's that, 506 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: and then there's well, how fit and strong and healthy 507 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: and functional can I be when I should be on 508 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: the slide? Or you know, it's like, how can I 509 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: start a new business when I'm sixty? Can I learn 510 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: new things? Can I can I get? You know? And 511 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: then like with other people that I've worked with, the 512 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: same thing, I'm like, oh, wow, this person has has 513 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: never been to university or they've never had a job 514 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: for more than six months, or they've never by the way, 515 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you go to university or they've 516 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: never been whatever it is. And sometimes just helping people 517 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: unpack their own possibilities is so awesome, you know, to go, oh, 518 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: I know you've never done that thing, but that doesn't 519 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: mean you can't do the thing, you know, And the 520 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: thing could be own a pet, do you know what 521 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: I mean. It doesn't need to be cure cancer or 522 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: join the space program. It could be you know. I 523 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: spoke to a lady recently who's a hoarder and she's 524 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: just for the last year gotten over that and her, 525 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's still it's like an addiction kind of, 526 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: and I was just talking to her about that. I'm like, 527 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: that is so interesting, and she feels amazing now because 528 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: she feels just liberated. But she still has this same compulsion, 529 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: although the volume's gone down, to just buy more stuff 530 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: and keep more stuff and not throw anything out. But 531 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: she's kind of got someone who helps her and a 532 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: bit of a plan in place. And you know, so 533 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: it might be that it might be overcoming an addiction 534 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: or you know, but I just think that people are 535 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: I think people inherently underestimate what they can do, and 536 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: not everyone can do everything, and not everyone can run 537 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: a marathon, and not everyone can you know, build an 538 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: amazing brand, and not everyone can sing beautifully, of course, 539 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: But I think that for most of us what gets 540 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: in the way is not so much our innate ability, 541 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: or our genetics, or our IQ or our you know, 542 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: overall potential, but rather how we think about all of 543 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: that stuff, and the way that our mind and our 544 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: fear gets in the way of all of that stuff 545 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: because we're scared of failure. We're scared of embarrassment, We're 546 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: scared of looking silly, We're scared of being the odd 547 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: one out where you know, we so want to belong 548 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: that we'll just compromise a shit out of ourselves to 549 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: fit in. But in all the fitting in, sometimes we 550 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: lose ourselves because now there's no me. There's just the 551 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: member of this group to which I belong. So I'm 552 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: just a part of a whole that we call the 553 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: the whatever group. You know. And if you, by the way, 554 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: if you ask any questions or you doubt, or you conflict, 555 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, you're out of the group. And well then 556 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: I better not ask anything because I need to be 557 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: in a group. So yeah, it's and we're emotional and 558 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: social creatures who want to belong. So it's a dichotomy. 559 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: How do you manage or have you had to manage 560 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 2: the tension between self improvement wanting to improve yourself and 561 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 2: be better and do better, but also accepting yourself as 562 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: you are in the moment. Has that been a journey 563 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 2: for you and is it still That's a great question. 564 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really clever question. Yeah, so I say 565 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: all the time, like I think the answer, like the 566 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: the way the juxtaposition between those two concepts that you 567 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: just spoke of, the kind of the antidote to wrap 568 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: around that is gratitude. Whereas I know that I'm very fortunate, 569 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: very blessed. I grew up in a great country with 570 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: great parents. I didn't grow up in poverty. I didn't 571 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: grow up in a war zone. I have a button 572 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: that I can press and my room gets cooler or warmer. 573 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: I have a tap that I can turn on and 574 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: cold fresh water comes out. I have a bed to 575 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: sleep in. I'm not broke. You know all of these 576 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: amazing things. So it is it is a it is 577 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 1: a challenge sometimes to be both ambitious, But I don't 578 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: mean ambitious in necessarily a commercial sense. I just mean 579 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: in wanting to keep learning, growing, evolving sense, but also 580 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 1: to be content. That is a real They almost think, 581 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: they almost seem inconsistent those two things. So I can 582 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: tell you that if right now is the best my 583 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: life will ever be, I'm extremely happy and grateful right 584 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: So I'm glad with that. But I also know, well, 585 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: I've still got energy. My brain still works, my body 586 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: still works, I can still learn, I can still help people. 587 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: I can still unlearn. So I'm going to keep doing that. 588 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: And when I reach my threshold, it's like there are 589 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: things I can't do now. I can't bench press like 590 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: I used to. I can't run as fast as I 591 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: used to. You know, I saw a photo of me 592 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: the other day that sent someone sent me, In fact, 593 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: Patrick sent me a photo of me, and I'm like, 594 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: fucking hell, I was Brad Pitt when I was thirty. 595 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: I wasn't really, but compared to now, when I look 596 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: like a fucking desert boot with a fucking flannel shirt on, 597 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: I look like somebody's granddad. I'm like, fucking hell, I'm 598 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: so old. I'm so you know, and I just go, yeah, 599 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: of course I am. I'm sixty one. Well, of course 600 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: you look like that. Of course your hairs gray. Of 601 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: course you've got renkles. Of course you don't look how 602 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: you once looked. And guess what that's okay, you know, 603 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 1: it's like it's all good. And in a minute I'll 604 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: be seventy or a'll we sixty five, and what will 605 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: be will be? You know, I think it's about I 606 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: don't think getting older means doesn't need to mean decline, 607 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: but I think in our culture it's really associated, you know, 608 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: while still being practical and realizing, of course I'm going 609 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: to die one day. Of course I'm going to get 610 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: sick one day. Of course my brain's not going to 611 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: work like it currently does one day, of course, but 612 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: that's not now, that's not today. So I'll just keep going. 613 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 2: What do you like with stillness? Are you ever still? 614 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm surprisingly good. My mind is not like trying 615 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: to fucking turn off. My mind is but me just 616 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 1: hanging out by myself, me lying on my bed, watching 617 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: something me. You know, this morning, I was up at 618 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: quarter past five. I was walking around the streets of 619 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: Hampton's very still very quiet. Saw nobody spoke to nobody. 620 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm just out moving like a fucking urban ninja. 621 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 2: In the darkness. 622 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, getting lat cramps, getting a double lat cramp from 623 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: doing heavy one arms in the cold morning. You know. Yeah, 624 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm okay that the thing, Like my mind is busy, 625 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: but more creative busy than fear busy, you know, anxiety, busy, overthinking, 626 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: Like I think a lot, but I don't overthink, you know, 627 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: overthinking gen Well, for me, overthinking is about worry, it's 628 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: about fear, it's about anxiety, don't I don't generally have that. 629 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: But like I am constantly thinking about how do I 630 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: share the stuff that I know, stuff that I'm learning 631 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,919 Speaker 1: that I'm experiencing. You know, since I was eighteen years 632 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,320 Speaker 1: old till now forty three years of life and work 633 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: and working with people and study and research and fucking 634 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: up and getting up and falling down and getting back 635 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: up and getting things wrong and getting things right. And 636 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 1: I look around the world and I don't see people 637 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: getting better. I see more anxiety. I see more mental 638 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: health issues. I see more isolation and loneliness and disconnection 639 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: and confusion. And maybe it's just what I'm seeing. Maybe 640 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: that's not true. Maybe that's just my truth, but it 641 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: seems to me that the issues are not going away. 642 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: There maybe escalating. And so I think, while totally acknowledging, 643 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: I'm not the solution to anything or for anyone, but 644 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: maybe I could be a valuable servant to people. I 645 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: could be a resource for people. Somebody could bump into 646 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: me metaphorically and take away an idea of a thought 647 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: or a strategy or some encouragement that makes one percent 648 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: different difference, you know, And and that's what I want 649 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: to do. And even when you know I've said this 650 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: many times, even when people come to me and say, 651 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,439 Speaker 1: you know, I came to an event or I read 652 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: your book, or I did this or I did that, 653 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: and you changed my life, which you know, I don't 654 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: get that every day, that's for sure, but people say 655 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: that reasonably regularly, and every single time I reject that idea, 656 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: and I tell them, and I'm not being falsely humble, 657 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: I go, you changed your life like I might have. 658 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: I might have had an impact or an influence on you, 659 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: but ultimately, you did the work, You made the decision, 660 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: you found, the resilience, you found, the courage you kept 661 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: going when you couldn't be bothered, you know. And so 662 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: I love that I can be that influence on people 663 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully help people understand their personal power, which I 664 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: know sounds cliche, but it's like, I know all the 665 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: stuff that I've done, and if you told me when 666 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 1: I was eighteen years old that I would, you know, 667 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: I would work on tell you I would work in radio. 668 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: I would have one of, you know, the biggest podcasts 669 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: in Australia. I'd write lots of books. I'd go to 670 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: university a couple of times. I do like and there's 671 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: no bragging in that, because I'm still fucking amazed. If 672 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: you had to told me that, I absolutely wouldn't have 673 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: believed it. And I say I wouldn't have believed it 674 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: because I know how gifted I'm not. And that's not 675 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: me hating on me, that's just me. That's just me 676 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: being honest. And I say that one because it's two true, 677 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: and two because I want to encourage other people. It's like, 678 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: here's what goes on in the world. We love to 679 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: tell everyone, Oh, you're specially, you're amazing, you're unique, you're this, 680 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: you're that. You know, maybe you're not though, like and 681 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: that's okay that you're not like I'm not. Maybe you're average. 682 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: Maybe average is fine. Maybe it's some things you're pretty good. 683 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: Maybe it's some things you suck that's cool. Maybe you 684 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: are gifted and if you are well done, but that's 685 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: nothing that you earned. That's what you were born with. 686 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 1: You know, you might earn skill, you might develop skill, 687 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: you might develop confidence, you might build courage and resilience, 688 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: and you might create bigger and better results. You should 689 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: be proud of all of that. But if you were 690 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: born with incredible genetics, then pride is not the right emotion. 691 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: Gratitude is the right emotion. If you can run fast, 692 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: jump high, or you're beautiful, or you're you're a genius, 693 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: or just be grateful, don't be proud, be grateful, be 694 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: proud of the shit that you achieve and do and 695 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,760 Speaker 1: the people that you help with those gifts. 696 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 2: Did you find thee. 697 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: I feel like I just turned into the Delli Lama 698 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: for three minutes. 699 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 2: Says no, it's good. Do you feel like your perception 700 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 2: of the things that you have achieved your perception of 701 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 2: them changed when they became your achievement and did you 702 00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 2: have to deliberately acknowledge them. Did they shift? Did having 703 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 2: you know, one of the biggest podcasts in Australia all 704 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 2: of a sudden I not become a big deal because 705 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 2: now all of a sudden it's you and you're like, 706 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 2: well this, like yeah, tell me about that experience. 707 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting because I think I think we have 708 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: this thing that a lot of us do. And if 709 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: this isn't you listener, I apologize, But I think we 710 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 1: grow up and you've heard me say this too many times, 711 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,479 Speaker 1: but I think we grow up in this mindset that says, tiff, 712 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: when you have this, or own that, or achieve that 713 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: you know, or do that or be that or look 714 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: like that, or get this many listeners or get this 715 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: many followers or get this much attention, or then that's success. 716 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: And I think we think that, Well, when I have 717 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: and own and earn and look like then I'm going 718 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 1: to be happy or I'm going to be fulfilled, or 719 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: the anxiety is going to go away, or the self 720 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 1: doubt will be gone, or my life will be ace 721 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,879 Speaker 1: or I'll be ace in the middle of my life. 722 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: But the guy who was you know had five businesses 723 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: in his early thirties and one hundred and staff and 724 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: all of that, who was probably more mentally and emotionally 725 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: fucked up than ten years before. I'm like, oh, one 726 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: doesn't equal the other necessarily. So I think there's the 727 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: and this is my what I call and other people 728 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,919 Speaker 1: call it different things, but I call it my two 729 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: world theory, where you know, there's our physical world, which 730 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: is seen, its practical, it's observable by others, it's three dimensional. 731 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: And then there's the other world, you know, the unseen, 732 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: the invisible, the emotional, psychological, the creative, you know. And 733 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: while we do life in the physical, three dimensional world, 734 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: we do living in the internal world. And so but 735 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: when we talk about success in our culture, tiffany An Kok, 736 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 1: invariably we talk about all the stuff that people can 737 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: s see, right, But what happens when you know It's 738 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: like I was talking to you this morning, and at 739 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: the moment, in the last thirty days, I've got seven 740 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: point one million bloody views on my Instagram, and I'm like, 741 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: it's funny. It doesn't make me at all happier than 742 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: when I got one. In fact, I think I was 743 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: happier when I had one, not that I'm unhappy or 744 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: disc or discontented or like, it's just like, oh, so 745 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: when I had one when I woke up one day 746 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: and I looked at my Instagram and it said, you've 747 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: had one million views in the last thirty days. All right, 748 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: So we had a little moment, little tech because TIFF's 749 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,319 Speaker 1: got gone, you know, rogue, and she's using some other 750 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: platform which clearly is inferior. That's right. Yeah, So I 751 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: was talking about, yeah, like this essentially, I was talking 752 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,479 Speaker 1: about how, you know, when I got a million views 753 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: in a month, I'm like, this fucking credible and I 754 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: felt good, and you know, not that it wasn't a goal. 755 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 1: I just saw it. I was surprised and I went wow, 756 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: and then I went how much can I get? Or 757 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, wow, and then I started just paying attention 758 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: to it. And today it's like, I said, seven point 759 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 1: one million, which is but it's funny. The way that 760 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: it makes me feel now in terms of my emotional 761 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: and or psychological response is different. And it's like, it's 762 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: so funny because you know, things only in this context, 763 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: with this conversation about this kind of stuff, they only 764 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: have the meaning that you give them. And if you go, oh, 765 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: one million is incredible, and you believe it's incredible, you 766 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: believe it's a great achievement, or it's a good outcome, 767 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:46,399 Speaker 1: or it's whatever. Then you have a correlated experience. You 768 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: have that psychological and emotional response. But if your story 769 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: is seven point one million, is shit. I can do better. 770 00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 1: Despite the fact that the numbers have seven xt your 771 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: experience is negative or is at the very least not 772 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,280 Speaker 1: what it once was at the million. So what's my point. 773 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: My point is we're always creating results and outcomes. There's 774 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: always stuff happening in our world, you know, conversation, situation, circumstances, 775 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: you know whatever. And then in the middle of all 776 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 1: of that external, measurable, observable stuff is Tiff, who interprets 777 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: it all, who tells herself a story about it. This 778 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 1: is good, this is bad, this is this is positive, 779 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: this is negative. He's scary, he's nice, she's a witch, 780 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: she's an angel. This podcast's going shit. This podcasts going like. 781 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: We are constantly creating our own reality while not at 782 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: all thinking we're creating our own reality because the window 783 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 1: through which we view the world, process the world, give 784 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: meaning to the world. In the moment we don't see it. 785 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: We don't experience it, So we think that our reality, 786 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: our subjective reality, which we all have one, is the 787 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 1: objective reality. But also then when you do a deeper 788 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: dive and you go, okay, so what is the What 789 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: is the kind of success that I'm looking for internally? 790 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: Is what is like we all want to be successful? Cool? 791 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 1: What does that mean as an emotional state? What does 792 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: success mean in terms of my psychology? What does success 793 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: mean in terms of my spiritual bank account? What the 794 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: fuck is a spiritual bank account? You know, all of that, Like, 795 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: you know. What opened the door on this for me 796 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 1: was being a young personal trainer. And I mean twenty 797 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: two twenty three, so twenty three was nine and eighty 798 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: six for me, twenty four, nine and eighty seven and 799 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: so on. I remember having several clients and I mean 800 00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: five six seven at this stage who were multimillion Now 801 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 1: this is back when a million dollars was like like 802 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: very few people had a million dollars, Like the average 803 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: home was I don't know, one hundred grand, right so 804 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: to be. And I had client who are multimillionaires, and 805 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm training them, and you know, as the more that 806 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: I got to know them and not all of them, 807 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: but often I'm like, oh wow, I'm a twenty three 808 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: year old, four year old personal trainer driving an orange 809 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: Cortina station wagon which is a piece of shit, and 810 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: I'm renting a house and I've got a motorbike which 811 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: is pretty much ready to fall apart, and I've got 812 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: fucking six friends, and I'm way happier than you. I'm like, 813 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: what is that about? And I'm way less insecure than you, 814 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: and I was pretty insecure, but I'm like, oh wow. 815 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: And so for me, that wasn't a judgment of them, 816 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: but rather an experience of them and an awareness. And 817 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, it was great for me because I 818 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 1: somehow in my subconscious assumed that once I had a 819 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: lot more stuff and a lot better stuff, that I 820 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 1: almost definitely would be happier. I'd be less stressed, I'd 821 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: be less anxious, you know, not that I was miserable, 822 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 1: but I just thought more stuff and better stuff equals 823 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 1: a better experience for me. And while that seems to 824 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: make sense, and it does make sense for certain people 825 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: up to a certain financial level. Obviously, if you're really 826 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: really struggling to pay for your kids kids school fees 827 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: or feed the kids, or feed yourself for bioshoes. Well, 828 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: of course, then money, money can really impact psychological emotional states, 829 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: of course, But beyond a certain point, it's like there's 830 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: no necessarily, there's no positive correlation, you know. So then 831 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: you just start to think about, you know, what actually 832 00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 1: is success for me? Not what is everybody say it is? Not? 833 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: What is culture and media and social media say it is. 834 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: But away from the idea and the sales pitch and 835 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 1: the marketing, what truly is it for me? What truly 836 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 1: matters to me? I'll shut up after this, when I 837 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: sit down in the stillness that you just spoke about, 838 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 1: and I go, Okay, no one's looking, no one's listening. 839 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,439 Speaker 1: There's no fucking fanfare. I'm not on a podcast. I'm 840 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,920 Speaker 1: not writing this for social media. I'm not I'm not 841 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,320 Speaker 1: looking for attention or accolades or approval. What really matters 842 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: to me, you know, what really matters, and what really 843 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me is how many people look at 844 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 1: my Instagram. It's like, that's not a core value. It's nice, 845 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: But what really matters to me is that my mum 846 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: and dad are okay, that my dad's cognitive decline, you know, 847 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 1: which is normal. He's not, you know, but it's like 848 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: that he's okay. You know that. What matters to me 849 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,399 Speaker 1: is that the people that I love are okay. What 850 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,879 Speaker 1: matters to me is that I don't do dumb shit 851 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: to my body, that I this thing that I can't replace, 852 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: this gift that God or the universe or whatever your 853 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: belief system is bestowed on me, that it works as 854 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 1: well as it can. That's a value for me, you know. 855 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,399 Speaker 1: And then once you know what those values are, then 856 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 1: you kind of know where to go. You kind of 857 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 1: know which path to take. And yeah, you can do 858 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 1: some bullshit along the way. You know, you can get 859 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: lots of listeners and followers and by yourself some shit. 860 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. But none of that is 861 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: your purpose. None of those things are your values. 862 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 2: I love that, all right. So, last question or last 863 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 2: bit of advice for people listening that are feeling that 864 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 2: they feel misaligned and exhausted and stuck on autopilot, maybe 865 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 2: behaving or reacting out of alignment to who they really 866 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 2: want to be. What's the first brave move they can make? 867 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 1: All right? So I'm going to give you three things. 868 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 1: Hang on, let me just write them down before I 869 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: forget them. So one is a treasure hunt, two is values, 870 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: and three is current behaviors. So let's go backwards. So 871 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:29,439 Speaker 1: current behaviors. So do a stock take easier said than done, 872 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 1: but do a stock take on all the shit you 873 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: currently do that's done, Like, how are you currently self sabotaging? 874 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,319 Speaker 1: How are you currently getting in your own way? And 875 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: let me give you an example. You might hold these 876 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: two opposing things. They might be true for you. Truth 877 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: number one is I want to be the best version 878 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: of me physically. I you know, I don't want to 879 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: run a marathon necessarily. I don't want to be a 880 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: mister or miss World. But I want to be the 881 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: best shape that I can be for my genetic potential 882 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: at my age. That's truth number one. Truth number two 883 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: is I eat shit every day. Right, They're both true. 884 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:18,400 Speaker 1: Those things are simultaneously true. They are simultaneously representative of you, 885 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 1: but they are inconsistent with your values. Right, So the 886 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,879 Speaker 1: behavior is completely out of alignment with who you want 887 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: to be and how you want to be. So you're 888 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 1: basically shooting yourself in the foot with your choices, with 889 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: your behavior, with your lifestyle and so on. So that's 890 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: number one. Get real, don't beat yourself up. Remember self reflection, 891 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: self awareness, self regulation, self actualization. That nowhere in that 892 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: list is self loathing. Right, Just be honest, be brave. Right. 893 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: So number one is just do a stock take on 894 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: all the shit that you're currently doing that doesn't serve you. 895 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 1: Number two is values. Is what we just spoke about, 896 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 1: So get clear about what matters to you. And the 897 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: beauty about identifying your values is that can become moving 898 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: forward from today if you like, that can become your 899 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: sat NAV, that can become your like, oh what should 900 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: I do here? Or what do your values say? What 901 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 1: aligns with your values? You know? It's like if TIF 902 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: you got an opportunity for a sponsor on your podcast 903 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 1: and it was with a product that you wouldn't use, 904 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 1: that you didn't like, that didn't represent your philosophy around 905 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 1: health or whatever. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't sell it 906 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: even if they went TIF, we're going to give you 907 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: twenty grand it's a two month sponsorship deal. Da da da. 908 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you would go fuck. I would love 909 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 1: the dough, but I can't sell that because I wouldn't 910 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 1: use it and I wouldn't want my friends to use 911 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: it right, So that's when we make values driven decision 912 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: and embrace values driven behaviors. What was the third thing 913 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 1: I said? 914 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 2: I jotted treasure Hunt, treasure Hunt, treasure. 915 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 1: Hunt, thank you, And that just means yeah, like on 916 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 1: top of the stock take about what we're doing that 917 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 1: we need to change. Also hit the pause button and 918 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: close your eyes and go what's great about my life? 919 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: And I I'm not big on encouraging people to compare 920 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 1: themselves to anyone, However, for this little activity, it doesn't hurt, 921 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: you know. I compare myself to people who can't get 922 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: out of a chair. I compare myself to people who 923 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: don't have anyone that loves them or I don't compare, 924 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 1: but I have that awareness that not everyone like me 925 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 1: can get out of my chair, walk down the stairs, 926 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,879 Speaker 1: make myself a cup of tea. I'm so grateful for that. 927 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful that few people love me unconditionally. I'm 928 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 1: so grateful for that. I'm so grateful that I get 929 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to do this with you. And that sounds 930 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: cheesy and bullshit, but I'm grateful. Like if I wasn't grateful, 931 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be talking for over an hour. You know, 932 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: it's like, because this is a good opportunity maybe to 933 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: help a few people. You know, I'm grateful that I 934 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: get paid to do shit that I love to do, 935 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 1: to go and talk to people. It's like I would 936 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:29,640 Speaker 1: do it for free. 937 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 2: It's like this shoes don't tell them. 938 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 1: Well, in the context of my business, I order it. Yeah, well, 939 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: you know they're not getting it for free. But you know, 940 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, thirty percent of the work 941 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 1: in inverted commas that I do I don't get paid for. 942 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: And I happily don't you know if and I can't 943 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: do everything for everyone. But you know, I love helping people. 944 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: And I don't love helping people because it's financially viable. 945 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 1: I just love helping people, you know. And that's like 946 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: that is and I know that sounds cheesy, yeah, but anyway, 947 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 1: So they're my three things. They're my thoughts, they're my suggestions. 948 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,479 Speaker 2: I love that. Thank you. What are you? What's coming 949 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 2: up in the world of harps and typ that everyone 950 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 2: can get around. I know there's a little bit what's that. 951 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 2: I know there's a little bit happening soon. 952 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: We're launching some live events and we're going to I 953 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: think we're going to Sydney and bris Vegas or maybe 954 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 1: the Sunshine Coast or Goldie, not sure, Perth Adelaide, Melbs. 955 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 1: Of course, I'm I'm doing a workshop and new workshop 956 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:43,320 Speaker 1: which is called the You Experiment, the You Experiment, which 957 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 1: is essentially talking about it's around the idea that different 958 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: things work for different people.
