But it's like, oh, 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: I just it's like I'm a thilling between two bloody 46 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: virtual roses. I just happen to get in the way anyway. 47 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I'm here interrupting your little get together, but 48 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: you'll have to put up with me because it's my show. Now, Doc, 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: I know you've had a lumpy, bumpy year and there's 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: been a few peaks and troughs because you're human. How 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: are you traveling today? 52 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: Today's good. Today's probably the first time I've been in 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: the house by myself for like two hours in five weeks. Yeah. 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: Good. 55 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: A question, and has that has that solitude in that. 56 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: I actually am somebody who really loves my own company 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: and likes to be alone. I also really like being 58 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: with people. So I'm one of those, you know, like 59 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 3: I think I think they call him ambiverts now, like 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: introvert and extrovert at the same time. And I don't 61 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: get a lot of alone time since COVID, actually because 62 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: my husband started working from home and so he's pretty 63 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: much here all the time. And then uh sounds terrible, 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: like he's a great husband and there's there's really good 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: things about that, but for somebody who actually needs like 66 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: some like significant time by myself. I really don't get 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: what I used to get. And then my daughter had, 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: like I think I mentioned in the last show, she 69 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: broke her leg. So she actually can't go anywhere. She's 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: stuck at home. And today is the first day that 71 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: we are taking her to UNI because the UNI is 72 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: making her go to classes even though the doctor said 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: not to. But yeah, my husband took her today. So 74 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: that means that everyone's out of the house. So I'm 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: like I and I'm spending it with you guys. 76 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: Well, so not totally alone. You're kind of alone. You're 77 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: physically alone, but you're virtually connected. And that's what matters, 78 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: because you know, well, it's funny that you bring this 79 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: up and there's a there's a relationship between or there's 80 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: something I want to explore about. I wanted to talk 81 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: about work today. I want to talk about our relationship 82 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: with work. I've got a bunch of just because I 83 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: think about how lucky I am, fortunate, blessed, whatever. I 84 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: don't know that I have the work situation that I have, 85 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: or I'm in the I'm in the kind of the 86 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: paradigm that I am because I would be terrible in 87 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: most jobs. Not that I have a job. Really, I 88 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: kind of work for me. I produce income. I do 89 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: things that I like. There's not many things that I 90 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: do that I hate, almost nothing. So I feel very 91 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: fortunate that I don't like if I had to do 92 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: something closer to whatever normal means. But if I was 93 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: doing something that's more typical in terms of careers, I 94 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: would be way less happy. I know I would be. 95 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: So I'm very grateful that I am where I am. 96 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: And I was thinking before about you and also me 97 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: and also Tiff. None of us have a job in 98 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: inverted commas. Like none of us go all right, this 99 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: is the company that I work for. I get up, 100 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: I put on my frock or my suit or my 101 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: whatever I put on or both. What are you laughing at? 102 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: People wear frocks, put frocks in so I went to school. 103 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: My mum loves a good frock. Anyway, you put on 104 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: your frock or you put on your whatever, your budgy smugglers. 105 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you're a fucking lifeguard. Who knows, But but you 106 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: go to work and then you clock in and do 107 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: your thing and clock off, And for a lot of 108 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: people that works, and that's for many people, that's the 109 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: best kind of operating system for me, definitely not, but 110 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: a couple of So today is work focused, but specifically 111 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the relationship that we have 112 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: with work, or our job or our career, whatever you 113 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: want to call it, whether or not you have a job, 114 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: or you work for yourself or your mow lawns, or 115 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: you're a judge in the bloody legal system or whatever 116 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: it is. But I want to talk about the psychological 117 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: and emotional impact of our job our career on us, 118 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: you know, because I think something that we don't think 119 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: about as a health determinant or a health variable is 120 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: the way that our work impacts everything from our brain 121 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: chemistry to our immune system, to our sleep, to our 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: appetite to our emotional state. I think it's almost the 123 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: least talked about health variable, Like we always talk about 124 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: all the other shit. But what impact does your job 125 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: have on you? Or your environment at work or the 126 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: people that you work with, or your boss who's a 127 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: prick or your boss who's fucking amazing, or the culture 128 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: that's toxic or the culture that's brilliant. Yeah, Like, there 129 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: are so many things, So let's go there. My first 130 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: question for you is, so a big part of your job, 131 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: not all of your job, but is sitting with people, 132 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: listening to them and helping them and supporting them through 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: whatever it is. How do you show up when you 134 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: feel like shit, Like when you're having a bad day 135 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: and you've got to sit with somebody, be that virtually 136 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: or physically, and you don't feel inspired, you don't feel happy, 137 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: you don't feel particularly sharp. How do you turn that 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: switch on? Or do you or don't you? 139 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh that's I mean, And that's happened a lot 140 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: this year where I haven't felt like fully fully on 141 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: I think, or like in terms of in anticipation of 142 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: seeing someone, I think, I think there is a switch 143 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: that goes off when I'm in the room with someone. 144 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: There's like their energy gives me energy. They're like, I 145 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: don't know, Like I always I always think of my 146 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: clients as like really really courageous, you know, just like 147 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: to even come and talk to some you know, like 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: to someone that they don't know initially, and then to 149 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 3: keep trying and striving for a better life when they 150 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: have so many you know, things going on in there. 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: So when so I guess for me, it's very helpful 152 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 3: to have that part of my job, which is seeing 153 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 3: people one on one, sometimes in groups, but often one 154 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: on one, is very helpful when I'm not feeling good. 155 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 3: I think, you know, like they talk about contribution being 156 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: so important if you are feeling down or depressed, that 157 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: if you contribute to others in some way, that that 158 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 3: is one of the really most useful ways out of 159 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: that mood state. And I and that's what I experience. 160 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 3: I think, I think because I know I'm contributing, Yeah, 161 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 3: and I can you know you feel it in the 162 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: room when you're with people, then yeah, it helps me 163 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: when things aren't going great on my side. So like 164 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: in the room, I think I'm good. Yeah, maybe before 165 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: like an hour before half an hour before I'm it 166 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: be like, oh, you know, I've got so many things, 167 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: or like somebody's just pissed me off, or like I'm 168 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: like running like behind and I'm like just rushing around 169 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 3: and stuff. But once I'm in there, it is like 170 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: a switch. I'm just with you. 171 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: What about and this is for both of you, Like 172 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: what about managing your like your mental and emotional energy 173 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: doing what you do. I used to and I'll preface 174 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: that with I used to have this conversation with my team, 175 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: my staff, and for those who are wondering who that is, 176 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: you know, hundreds of personal trainers. So one of the 177 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: things I used to say to my guys and girls 178 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: was figure out how many sessions you can do per 179 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: day and be amazing or be your best self? So 180 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: how many people can you coach per day and give 181 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: them ten out of ten you, not five out of 182 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: ten you and not? You know, like, can you do 183 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: four sessions a day where you are as best you 184 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: can be one hundred percent on You're focused, you're in 185 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: the zone, your energy is good, you're paying attention, you're 186 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: not distracted, you're not angry Tiffany and Cook because that 187 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: I call that your performance threshold. So trying to figure 188 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: out how much of this particular thing that you do 189 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: can you do at a high level, especially if your 190 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: job is being with another person and providing a one 191 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: on one service. Do you ever think about that or 192 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: something like that? 193 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I think ethically, if you're in a 194 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: helping profession, you should think about that because you want 195 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: to be giving the people who see you and are 196 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 3: paying you for a service the best possible service, especially 197 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: if it's a mental health service. So yes, I have 198 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: a limit. I have a hard limit of six people 199 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: in a day a day. 200 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: And what is that one hour? Six times one hour? 201 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be my absolute limit. I don't think 202 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 3: that's my sweet spot, but I think I can give 203 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: people a really good service up to six people. Now, 204 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 3: of course, that's dependent on a whole range of factors. 205 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: So like if I'm having a very i don't know, 206 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: emotionally late in week, in my personal life or something else. 207 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of circumstances that are taking 208 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: up my time and energy, I won't book six people, 209 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like that's like on a 210 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: you know, like when people say, like you drive the 211 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: speed limit when it's like sunny and there's like you know, 212 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: like there's no obstacles, and but if it's raining, then 213 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: you're supposed to go like a little under the speed limit. 214 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: It's like that. So I because I work for myself, 215 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: I can create the schedule that makes sense for me 216 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: week week to week, you know, and even day to day. 217 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: Like there have been times where I've sat where I've 218 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 3: had to cancel appointments. It doesn't happen often, but if 219 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: I really don't think I'm going to be there for somebody. 220 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 3: I don't want them to waste their time with me 221 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: when I'm not going to be that particularly helpful. So 222 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: I'll reschedule if I really feel like I can't do it. 223 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 3: But in general, six is okay. I prefer four or five, 224 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: just I think, like just for me, like I I 225 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: like that rhythm better, but I can do six well. 226 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: I think it depends. Like you said, Cookie, you're probably 227 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: the same. It depends on because some people take a 228 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: lot of effort and energy, Like one hour with one 229 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: person is like fucking exhausting, and sometimes you'll spend three 230 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: hours with three other people and it actually gives you energy. 231 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 3: You know. 232 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: It's like you said, not all hours are the same, 233 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: not all people are the same, not all sessions, whether 234 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: it's coaching, psychology, personal training, you know, business coaching, you know, 235 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: doctors treating patients. It's like some people actually draining and 236 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: some people almost give you more or do give you 237 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: more energy. But yeah, I think trying to figure out 238 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: that relationship that you have, what about you tip, what's 239 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: your do you have like a kind of a number 240 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: or a philosophy around this. 241 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: It's funny because I was talking to it to a 242 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: friend about it yesterday, because now I do two big 243 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: days and then a couple of odd odd times with people, 244 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: and Sunday my biggest day now is my favorite. And 245 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: what I love about it is it's this time I'm 246 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: task switching is exhausting. So now I go I'm there 247 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: all day Sunday, back to about clients, love it, finish, 248 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: and then I go home, I have a little nap 249 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: and I'm like, that's the day done, and I feel 250 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: really good about it. I really love being there rather 251 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: than a couple of clients and then going to do 252 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: another task or a podcast or a different thing or 253 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: a different style of coaching. So I think the task switching. 254 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: But then I said to my friend, well, I say 255 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: this now I know that I do like change. So 256 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: in a few months I'll probably be like, you know what, 257 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 2: it'd be great just to do one client every day. 258 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: I actually, but I actually think you are doing different. 259 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: I mean you do have I think I do the 260 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: same thing as you at the moment, like I have 261 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: my client days are two days. And I think it 262 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: also is really energy saving for me, like mentally and 263 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: just practically because you are just focused on one kind 264 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: of service all day, and task switching can be exhausting 265 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: and very inefficient. And so if I know that I 266 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: have to focus on my clients on Tuesdays and Thursdays 267 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: and that's what I'm doing, then I don't worry about 268 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 3: if I get something else done on that day. That's 269 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: a bonus, but I don't have to do anything else 270 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: that day. That's my job on those days, and so 271 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: I feel very good and accomplished after those days. And yeah, 272 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: but I have the flexibility on the other days to 273 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: do whatever I want. 274 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: It's great when you work for yourself. And I'm being 275 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: a bit selfish here because a lot of our listeners 276 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: don't work for themselves, of course, but I like the 277 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: idea that you can kind of within reasons, say all right, 278 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: well what I'm going to do. I'm going to work 279 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: every day, or I'm going to be available to work 280 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: every day between six am and two pm. That's it, 281 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm not working after two Or you 282 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: might say I'm working Monday, Wednesday, Friday and that they're 283 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: the only days I'm working. So I've got four days 284 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: a week no work, three days a week work. And 285 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: I know this doesn't suit everybody, and it's not possible 286 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: for everybody. But I love the flexibility of being able 287 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: to choose how you work like. I like that I 288 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: can work at the cafe. I like that I can 289 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: work where I am right now in my office. I 290 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: like that I can go downstairs into my studio and work. 291 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: I like that I can travel into state and work. 292 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: I like that I can go You know what today 293 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm having a fuck all day. I'm going 294 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,479 Speaker 1: to be lazy today. I'm not going to be productive, 295 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: and that's okay because tomorrow is about fourteen hours of mayhem. 296 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: So today I'm just going to store up my energy. 297 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to eat some food. I'm going to watch 298 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: some Netflix. I'm going to walk at the beach. I'm 299 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: going to lift a few weights, and I'm going to 300 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: conserve myself because tomorrow's massive and being able to for me. 301 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: If I had to do a version of the same 302 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: thing the same way, even if it paid great for me, 303 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: that would not work. I could not do that. I 304 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: need variety, I need progress, I need different people. I 305 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: need even though it probably seems like I do a 306 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: lot of the same, there's still a lot of variety. 307 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: In my life. So I think I think for you know, 308 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, that really matters. I was 309 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: going to ask you dark about something I don't think 310 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: people think about a lot is the environment that we 311 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: work in. And I don't just mean the like the 312 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: physical environment. I mean that but like right now, I 313 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: can look out my window and all I see is 314 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: wall to wall bamboo trees that are forty feet high. 315 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: So I like this environment. There's light coming through the window. 316 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: I've got bare feet, I've got carpet under my feet. 317 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: It's like I just like my I've got leather chairs 318 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: just over there, I've got whiteboards. Like I love the 319 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: environment that I work in. It works for my brain. 320 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: It's good for energy. Like when I come into this room, 321 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: I'm calmer, Like it affects my nervous system. And so 322 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: talk to us a little bit about the impact of environment, 323 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: like the work environment and being conscious of that one 324 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: way or the other, and maybe if you've got any 325 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: thoughts on that, I personally think kind of has a 326 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: big impact. 327 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 3: Potentially, Oh, it definitely has a big impact. And there's 328 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 3: lots of research to support that. Your working environment, not 329 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 3: just your physical work in my environment, but your psychosocial 330 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 3: environment has a major impact on your mental health and 331 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: well being, but also productivity performance, how you relate to others, 332 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 3: your ability to manage stress, be resilient, Like, all of 333 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 3: those things are factors. I don't know if you know. 334 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 3: But there's some new legislation coming through in Victoria that 335 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 3: is around businesses needing to protect psychosocial safeness psychosocial protect 336 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 3: people from psychosocial hazards in the workplace. And yeah, December first, 337 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 3: that's coming coming in and that applies to all businesses, 338 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 3: you know. 339 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: From what does that mean practically? Like, how do we 340 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: because what's going to affect someone soco socially in a 341 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: negative way will not affect the next person, So how 342 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: do we Yeah, cater to a million different personalities and 343 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: people and responses and variables knowing that, you know, like 344 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: I could have a conversation with Tiff and she laughs. 345 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: I could have the same conversation with someone else they 346 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: get offended. Yeah you know what I'm saying. 347 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I think what they're I think with 348 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 3: the legislation's pointing to is not so much on the 349 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 3: on the level of individual differences, but on the level 350 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 3: of like systemic things that might be going on in 351 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: the workplace that would like for instance, abuse or bullying 352 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 3: or you know, like those kinds like things that you 353 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 3: know are or psychosocial hazards in the workplace and then 354 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: making sure that and you know, like for instance, in hospitality, 355 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: you know there's there's some very clear psychosocial hazards and 356 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: how hospitality they have to do with the customers and 357 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: the demands of the job and the shift work and 358 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 3: you know, all of those sorts of things, and they're 359 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: pretty clear. So if you know, if you look into 360 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 3: the research on it, you can kind of figure out 361 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 3: what are the top five issues among hospitality workers. So 362 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 3: for all businesses in that area, they would be looking at, well, 363 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: how do we how do we minimize these hazards If 364 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: you can't get because you can't necessarily get rid of 365 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: them or eliminate them. You can't eliminate the customers to 366 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: prevent them abusing you, right, but you can minimize through 367 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 3: and they call them like control measures. So what control 368 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: measures will you put in place to minimize these hazards 369 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: to your staff members? And then the legislations also really 370 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 3: about like consulting with your staff members so that you 371 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 3: are not just looking at it from a top down perspective, 372 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 3: but you're actually getting the information and you're consulting with 373 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: the people on the ground and like what's actually happening 374 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 3: so that your controls work because you need to consult 375 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 3: with the people that you're trying to help. So I 376 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: think in gen I think it's been in the legislation 377 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 3: to protect people at work, but what's happened over the 378 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: years is that business has paid more attention to protecting 379 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 3: people's physical environment or like making that less hazardous, and 380 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 3: haven't paid enough attention to psychosocial hazards. And what we've 381 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: found over time is that mental health has gone down. 382 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: It hasn't been addressed enough or adequately or effectively. There's 383 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: been a lot of mental health claims and so the 384 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 3: governments in each state have recognized that potentially they need 385 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: legislation that just focuses on psychosocial So that's what they're doing. 386 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: They've done it already in all the other states, and 387 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 3: the legislation starts I think December first. 388 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I find that an interesting area because it is 389 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: it is. So there's two things that spring to mind 390 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: for me when we're talking about you know, a psychosocial 391 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: kind of environment and safety for people and feeling you know, 392 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 1: feeling comfortable in environment. All of that. It's like the well, 393 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: the funny thing is, in the same environment you find 394 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: people that are real comfortable and someone else that's not comfortable, 395 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: even exposed to the same stimuli. And then you go, so, 396 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, how do you like? There's the thing that's happening, 397 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: and then there's the individual's response to the thing that's happening, 398 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: or there's the situational circumstance or culture or environment right 399 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: that everyone is exposed to. I'm not talking about individual 400 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: things at the minute, but just these Oh we all 401 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: work in this space and we all have these rules 402 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: and we all whatever. But then you know, person to person, 403 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: it whether or not we're more vulnerable, or whether or 404 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: not we're less resilient, or we're more emotionally and or 405 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: psychologically fragile than we used to be. I'm not sure, 406 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: but it feels like we've never had more, you know, 407 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: more challenges around mental health and I and in the 408 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: middle of all of these and there's no judgment in this, 409 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: there's curiosity. I wonder, Yes, we want to make this 410 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: environment whatever as safe as we can, and we want it. 411 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: Of course, we want a factor in how people are. 412 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: But also is another idea to help people build resilience. Yes, 413 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: is another idea to you know, so that I mean, 414 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: without being rude, there are a lot of people who 415 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: seem to be the same people always having a breakdown, 416 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: some people right or always. And then that's not to 417 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: say that it's their fault. I'm not saying that, but 418 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying, well, some people are in really fucking hard situations. 419 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: And so there's two parts. Yes, let's look into the environment, 420 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: the situation, and the circumstance the culture. Definitely let's try 421 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: to manage that as we best we can. So I'm 422 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: with you. But then on the other side of that, 423 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: we want people to be strong and resilient because life 424 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: doesn't give a fuck about your feelings, and life is 425 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: hard and as you've spoken about off air to us, 426 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: you've had an interesting and tough year, right, And so yeah, 427 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: we want to protect people as best we can. Me 428 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: as a coach, me as a person who works with 429 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: people to try to help them be their best self 430 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: or their best self, I'm really interested in how do 431 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: I help you forget work situation, circumstance. How do I 432 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: help you to become resilient? How do I help you 433 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: to be good under pressure? How do I you know, 434 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: so it doesn't need to be one or the other. 435 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it is. There's actually like a 436 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: three pronged approach for workplace well being and one is protect, 437 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 3: which we just talked about, but one is promote, so 438 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 3: promote well mental health and wellbeing, and that would be 439 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: through programs like you're talking about. I think a lot 440 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 3: of businesses don't, and that the last there's three, So 441 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 3: one is promote, one is protect, and one is respond. 442 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 3: So promoting is really about that, Like you're talking about, 443 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 3: like how do we lift the skills of people ensure 444 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 3: that they're you know, you know, managing stress well, they're resilient, 445 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: they know how to communicate well, you know, they've got 446 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 3: these kind of skills on board. They're aware of like 447 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: what the early warning signs are for mental health issues, 448 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 3: you intervene early. All of that sort of stuff really important. 449 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 3: I think a lot of businesses have or are people 450 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: leaders of business owners and leaders and managers. They don't. 451 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 3: They don't. There's so much out there in terms of 452 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 3: what options in terms of like promoting well being and 453 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 3: mental health that it's sometimes hard, it's overwhelming, it's hard 454 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: to choose, it's hard to know what's the effective, it's 455 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 3: hard to know what's evidence based. It's hard. It's hard 456 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 3: to know what's going to engage their particular workforce. But 457 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 3: the research is really robust around mental health initiatives being 458 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: a really you know, having a really good return on investment. 459 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: So I think the message is choose wise. Obviously, choose wisely, 460 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 3: choose things that are you think are relevant for your 461 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: workforce in terms of skilling people up. But choose something 462 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 3: because choosing something isn't just going to help your you know, 463 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 3: your team, when your staff feel better, but it's going 464 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 3: to help them think better, it's going to help them 465 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 3: do better, and that's going to be good for your business. 466 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 3: So that's really important. And then the respond part is 467 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 3: really important too. If you do have people on staff 468 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: or a person on staff who isn't performing well or 469 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 3: you know, as you said, is often you know, at 470 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 3: the highest stress levels, or isn't coping or having interpersonal issues, 471 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: you have to know how to respond to that effectively. 472 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean as a manager or a business 473 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 3: owner that you're the mental health professional all of a sudden, 474 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 3: it's more of like, how do you have a conversation 475 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 3: with someone that you can see is having issues and 476 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: then have the the avenues for appropriate kind of responses 477 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 3: to that. And that might be internal, it might be external. 478 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 3: So yeah, I completely agree with you. You can't just 479 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: focus on one thing. It's to be our three and 480 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 3: that's a lot though. That's a lot for especially small, 481 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 3: small and medium sized businesses to kind of manage. But 482 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: they will have to and it's important too, and it's 483 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 3: actually if they do, it will be good for their business. 484 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: It won't detract from tho reasons. 485 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: Do you know what I find really interesting the way 486 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: that you know, obviously I'm old as fuck, but the 487 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: way that our thinking around career has changed over the years. 488 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: Like my dad got a job, you know, in seventeen 489 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: forty two. You know, you get a job, and then 490 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: you do the job, and your rock up to work 491 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: and it's like, has he got a job. He's got 492 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: a job. Oh, that's great, he's got a job. And 493 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: then and then he got another job and they paid 494 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: a bit more money in the other job, so he 495 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: got a better job. And not that that's bad, of course, 496 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: but like in the old days, it was like, well, 497 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: you get a job, and you get a job because 498 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: you get a job that pays money and there's security 499 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: and there's money and then and not that that's the 500 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: best model, and that's just how it was. Yeah, And 501 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: the way that we think about work now and the 502 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: way that we you know that all the different possibilities 503 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: with producing income and working online and offline and technology 504 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: and all of the variables that we have now and 505 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: we can work you know, I know, I reckon. I 506 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: know seven or eight people who now live in Bali 507 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: ozsies who live in Ballein and work remotely and you know, 508 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: and then most of them are going great. I've had 509 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: one of them on this show. And you know, it's 510 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: just such an interesting thing. The way that we work is. 511 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever been changing as rapidly as 512 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: it is in twenty twenty five. The possibilities for producing income, 513 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, our career, our job, like, it's never been 514 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: more dynamic than now. Where everything from fucking only fans, 515 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, here's my whatever. Everyone I tried, it didn't 516 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: work well? Who knew? Who knew that a big nose 517 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't pull the crowds. But anyway, you know, through through, 518 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: you know through to Like I saw this lady the 519 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: other day at down the beach and she was walking 520 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: eight dogs and I went, how's that? And she's like, 521 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: it's this is my dream job. And I said what. 522 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: I don't know specifically what she did before, but I 523 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: as in, I said, how long you've been doing that? 524 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: She said like five years. It's built up and she goes, 525 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: I'm booked out. I'm in undated. She goes, but and 526 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: you could tell she loved what she's I'm like, isn't 527 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: that weird? I don't know how much he makes, but 528 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: I got the idea she does pretty well. And she's 529 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: at the beach walking with eight dogs and she's a 530 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: dog lover. Who knew that could be YouTube in eight years? 531 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Five years? 532 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 2: One dog and a cat mate? 533 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but isn't it weird the way that we can 534 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: make like is us three talking on this thing that's 535 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: called a podcast that trying to explain this, having a 536 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 1: conversation in real time and looking at people and hearing 537 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: people explain this fifty years ago, and then you know 538 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: we're sponsored for it. You know, we make money. That's 539 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: like this is a job, like right now we're producing income. Yeah, 540 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm so different. 541 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: Now it is different. I'm for sure. The drivers for 542 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: the generations before us were money and stability, like that's 543 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 3: financial security, Like that's what it was. And now it's 544 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 3: much more about quality of life and flexibility and more 545 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 3: values aligned work. And because it's values aligned, you can 546 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 3: go in so many different directions because people have different 547 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 3: values and you know, different preferences and wants and likes 548 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: and different lifestyles. So that's where you see that innovation 549 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 3: and how people are working, and it's only going to 550 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 3: get more and more so as I mean, who knows 551 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 3: what's going to happen in the next ten years because 552 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 3: the technological advances that we will see in the next 553 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 3: ten years, I don't think we can even really anticipate. 554 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 3: Really we can talk about it, but we don't really 555 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 3: know how that's going to change everything. So it'll be 556 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 3: really interesting, like for me to see how my kids fare. 557 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 3: They're teenagers, so their career trajectory is going to be 558 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 3: really different potentially. Potentially. Of course, there are still people 559 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: who are driven by money and security and stability, and 560 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 3: that's completely fine because that's their values might be that. 561 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's good to have the options that we 562 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: have now. Like when I was growing up, you know, 563 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 3: and this is like so many families that I talk to, 564 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: you know, of the gen X generation, especially like people 565 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 3: like migrants from other countries like moving to Australia or 566 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 3: the US to you know, give their kids a better life. 567 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 3: They the only options were lawyer, doctor, engineer. There were 568 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 3: no other jobs. Those are the things that you can be. 569 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 3: So now, you know, like with my kids, I'm like, oh, 570 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 3: it's open, like whatever you want to do, you know, 571 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 3: like find the things that you like, pursue those things, 572 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 3: see if they you know, how they materialize into something 573 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 3: that you want to do for work. 574 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: It was when I decided I was going to be 575 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: a personal trainer. There wasn't a whole lot of endorsement 576 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: or support, Like nobody knew what that was. Yeah, my 577 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: mom and dad were like worried. They would talk to 578 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: me about you know, I mean this was nine and 579 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: eighty six. I started working in gyms in nineteen eighty 580 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: two when I was eighteen, and of course that wasn't 581 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: the hard watermark success for them. And then I started 582 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: doing this thing, which is one on one coaching with people, 583 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: and that's not even a real industry. There's no qualification, 584 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: there's no industry, there's no insurance, there's no regulation, it's 585 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: not even a thing. It's definitely not going to work, 586 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, but I totally understand that. Yeah, 587 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, things are just things are just always evolving, 588 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: and I think it's trying to figure out how to 589 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: for me. I'm I'm not lazy, but I don't want 590 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: to do stuff that I hate. I know, sometimes to 591 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: get where I want to go, there'll be something that 592 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: in the moment or on that day or that week 593 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: or that month, or like even doing as you know, 594 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: a PhD. The actual journey is not fun. But there 595 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: is some fun. There's definitely growing and learning, but a 596 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: lot of it is like, well, this is a thing 597 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 1: that I have to do to get the outcome I want. 598 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: And I get that, but as much as I can 599 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: when it comes to my work, I want to live 600 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: at the intersection of and fun and making a few 601 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: dollars and learning some things and serving people. And how 602 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: do I create this thing where I'm ticking all these 603 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: boxes and making a few bucks and I think a 604 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,479 Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize that there's a lot more 605 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: potential for them than settling for And I'm not saying 606 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: who's settling or not, but I feel like a lot 607 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: of people do settle. And I know it's not easy 608 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: for everyone, but you know, people who basically do a 609 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: job they don't love in an industry or an area 610 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: they don't love, in an environment they don't love for 611 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: twenty years but don't Yeah, I know, yeah, you know. 612 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 3: I guess the flip side though, like you know, we're 613 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 3: all in doing our own kind of stuff in different ways. 614 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 3: There it is a lot. There's a lot going on 615 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 3: behind the scenes to get to where like you are, 616 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 3: Craig for instance, like to be able to make a 617 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 3: buck from from having the life that you want, the 618 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 3: fund the flexibility to serving people, which is I think 619 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 3: what all three of us want to do and like 620 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 3: to do. I think that there's a trade off sometimes, 621 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 3: like yes, you have more freedom and flexibility to make 622 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 3: your own choices, but it is sometimes hard to keep 623 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 3: the boundaries with work clear. Because you're your own boss. 624 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 3: You can see things to do, You're just going to 625 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 3: do it, and that might be like do it until 626 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 3: midnight or like do it over the weekend, or like 627 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 3: whatever you want to do. There is stress associated, there's loneliness, 628 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 3: like if you don't have a team around you, like 629 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 3: working with you, and you're starting your own business. And 630 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 3: because I came from working for hospitals and universities to 631 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 3: doing my own thing, and I really missed the team 632 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 3: atmosphere that I had. I loved the team that I 633 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 3: worked with. I didn't leave because I didn't like what 634 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 3: I was doing. I left because I wanted more freedom 635 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 3: of flexibility. But with that came a lot of hard 636 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,919 Speaker 3: like a lot of learning, like steep learning curve, lots 637 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 3: of different like hats I have to put on now 638 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 3: that I don't have to put on before. So I 639 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 3: so I do like if you are thinking about moving 640 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: into your your own thing, like I don't want like 641 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 3: rose colored glasses with that either. Like yeah, that you 642 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 3: get some you know, you get to choose your own 643 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 3: hours and things, but there's you're you're losing some stuff too, 644 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 3: and you're also having to skill yourself up in ways 645 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 3: that you might not be expecting. So yeah, I mean, 646 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 3: I would just say I don't want people to be 647 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 3: stuck in a job that they hate. Like, I don't 648 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 3: think that that's necessary necessarily either. But if you do 649 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 3: like your job, there's nothing I mean, there's that's I 650 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 3: think it's great to work with, you know, organizations and teams, 651 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 3: there's there is more secure already, there is more support 652 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 3: sometimes when you're working within an organization or a business. 653 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,280 Speaker 3: I really liked. I really liked both. 654 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for a lot of people. I think 655 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: for most people, doing what I do is would be 656 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: a terrible idea. You know, I don't think so I'm 657 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: not suggesting everybody if I say, I'm not suggesting everybody 658 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, jumps out of their job. But I think 659 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: like if you're an environment or a situation or a 660 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: career and a company and an organization that it ticks 661 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: most of the boxes, then I wouldn't even think about it. 662 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: But it's more, I mean, I do talk to it. 663 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: Very few people sit down in front of me and go, 664 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: I love my job, it's great, my boss, the culture 665 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: is amazing. I really like what I'm doing. Those people 666 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: don't come to me. I have the other people. There 667 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: are very few people who come to me and say, 668 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, the organization's great, my boss is great. I 669 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: get excited to go to work. I mean, those people exist, 670 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: but they don't book in with me, right, and so yeah, 671 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. And I think also the 672 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: truth is whether or not it's with diet or lifestyle 673 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: or Korea. Different things work for different people. I just 674 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: get a bit sad when I'm talking to someone who's really, 675 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, forty or fifty years old or older or 676 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: younger or whatever, and they basically miserable, and they've been 677 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: miserable for a long time. But I see them the 678 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: potential to not be miserable, but they're too scared, so 679 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: they'd rather stay in the two out of ten situation 680 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: because it's familiar. Yes, And then you wake up and 681 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: now it's two thousand and thirty and you're still doing 682 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: the two out of ten because you're too scared to 683 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: step into the unknown. Ah, But what if I get 684 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: out of the two and it's a fucking one. 685 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 4: Well, if you get out of the two and it's 686 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 4: a nine. In the middle of stepping out of the two, 687 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 4: you build courage and strength and resilience and understanding. And 688 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 4: what if if you get fucking excited and what if 689 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:02,720 Speaker 4: it's awesome? 690 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, totally. 691 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: There's so much of how you think and yeah, you've 692 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: got to do. And I mean I had jobs. I 693 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 1: had multiple jobs where I were, you know, from when 694 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: I was eighteen to when I was twenty six. I 695 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: had eight years of employers, you know, and I worked 696 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: multiple jobs at a time. I always had at least 697 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: two jobs, so I always had at least two bosses 698 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: and employers. But I mean, you know, we spend so 699 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: much of our life working. Yeah, whether and whether or 700 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: not that's for someone else or ourselves, but imagine if 701 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, on some level you associated your job with 702 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: joy and work and growth and happiness and fulfillment, not 703 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: just obligation and security and money. 704 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 3: Yes, totally agree, And that can look different for different people, 705 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 3: whatever that ends up being. And I see people who 706 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 3: are stuck as well, just like in a job that 707 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 3: they don't like. They don't like the culture, they don't 708 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 3: like the work. There's too many demands. They're getting burnt out, 709 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 3: and like you said, but they're not doing anything about it. 710 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 3: It's like you can do something about it, and then 711 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 3: you know, like one day they do and suddenly they're 712 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 3: in a new position and they're so much happier and 713 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, you know, congratulations for taking that step. 714 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 3: But sometimes it can take people a really long time 715 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 3: to take those those steps. 716 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: Definitely, and it's scary, and that's okay, it's scary, you know, 717 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: and I think that it comes back to me. It's 718 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: like in my ten week course that I do that 719 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm not running one at the moment. My mentorship the 720 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: first week. The first week is called life design, and 721 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: we just talk about designing your life as in intentionally 722 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: thinking about, oh, you know, think about if you are 723 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,839 Speaker 1: going to build a house. You go, oh, well, would 724 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: this many bedrooms? Is many bathrooms? You design it. We 725 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 1: want these colors, we want these finishes, these fittings, these doors, this. 726 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: You know, you plan all this and you spend months, 727 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: maybe years, planning it, and then you execute it, and 728 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 1: then you build it. And then and then if you 729 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: say to someone, now, what's more important your life or 730 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: your house? They go, well, of course, my life is 731 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: more important than my house. And then I say, so, 732 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,240 Speaker 1: how much time do you spend intentionally designing and constructing 733 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 1: and creating this life that you want to inhabit? Because 734 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: the most part is we don't. We kind of just 735 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: get up and do what we did yesterday, and then 736 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: we go, oh, fuck, now I'm fifty, you know, so 737 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: there's so and I've done it, and I'm not trying 738 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: to throw anyone under the bus. But it's very easy 739 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: when you're a human and because your life already has 740 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: energy and momentum, you know, to kind of fall out 741 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: of bed and step back into the momentum that is 742 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: your life that's not particularly rewarding, fulfilling or producing a 743 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,439 Speaker 1: lot of joy or growth or stimulation. It is very 744 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: hard to interrupt that and to make hard decisions and 745 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: literally start to step out of the repetition and the 746 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: unconsciousness and go, right, I'm going to consciously and intentionally 747 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: and bravely change what's going on. 748 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:22,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, a lot We mostly run on automatic thoughts 749 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 3: and behaviors and unless we intentionally say, hold on a second, 750 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 3: what am I actually thinking? What am I actually doing? 751 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 3: And is this what I'm wanting for myself? And yeah, 752 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 3: I think we're all three of us are in the 753 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 3: same business helping people build a life that they want 754 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 3: for themselves, or build a life worth living, and we 755 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 3: all just do it in slightly different ways. But it's 756 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 3: but yeah, anyone who's listening, who wants to make changes 757 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 3: in their lives. Like I think, I think we can 758 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 3: all say with some definitiveness that it is possible to 759 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 3: change your life for the better. But it takes it 760 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 3: just takes that courage and that effort to move forward. 761 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: If you had an alternate reality, In this alternate reality, 762 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: both of you, you could do any dream job and 763 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: you would be a success at it right or anything, 764 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: any field, any career, any role, and and you would 765 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 1: be great at it. So you're not You're not you, Tiff, 766 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: You're not well. You're not doing what you're doing. Tiff 767 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: and Lilian, you're not doing what you're doing. And there's 768 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: no there doesn't have to be any logic. It doesn't matter. 769 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: You could say I want to be a fucking race 770 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: car driver or an astronaut, or I want to cure cancer, 771 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: But like, what is what is something that in an 772 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: alternate reality you would like to do as a job? 773 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: Tiff will start with you. 774 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 2: I just want to be better at doing me. I 775 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 2: wouldn't change what I'm doing, I don't think, but I 776 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: would get where I want to go or be, or 777 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 2: I would do it better, which would open up more 778 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 2: choices and probably take me in new directions. I would 779 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 2: not get stuck in cycles or I would not you know, 780 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,439 Speaker 2: I would reach potential. So I think that, yeah, there's 781 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 2: nothing that I go, oh, I definitely do that. Maybe 782 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 2: that maybe no, maybe something with animals. 783 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: You'll be that lady at the beach, doc. 784 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 3: I mean, how long do you have, Craig.

Yes, I'm a multi 788 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 3: passionate person. I like a lot of things. So the 789 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 3: first thing that came to mind was professional athlete, not 790 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,399 Speaker 3: necessarily tennis player. I like team sports too, Like that's 791 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 3: probably even more fun. But then I'm like, oh, would 792 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 3: be great to be like in the movie industry and 793 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 3: like create art that helps people and like reaches so 794 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 3: many people and there's such a creative process and again 795 00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 3: working with the team as well, like with your skills. So, 796 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 3: I mean, there are so many things, too many things 797 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 3: to list.
