1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: A good a team. It's who else would it be? Hey? 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: So this is the continuation of the conversation Tiff and 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: I had with Andrew May yesterday. It was a ripper. 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: He's a ripper. Enjoy the rest of the chat. Do 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: you talk to groups and individuals about self awareness, other awareness, 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: social awareness? If you do, what do you talk to 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: them about and how do you open that door? 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. George Angel back in nineteen seventy seven spoke about 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: the biopsychosocial model. I think sometimes we come up with 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: stuff and do things and think, hey, I'm onto something here, 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: and then you find out this theory and I'll go, geez, 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: someone else has thought about this. So if there's a 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: model I give you, it is that. I think it's 14 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: the whole human. So bio is your physiology and us 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: a human and operating system, psychos thoughts and feelings and 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: emotional and we've got to regularly do an iOS upgrade 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: on our head, we need to do on our iPhones. 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: And then that's social is no man, no woman is 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 2: an island. So you look at relationships social, you also 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 2: look at cultural that's massive. I find in sports, especially 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: a lot of the contact sports union and League high 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: in Pacific nations, like I could have the best toolkit 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: in the world around psychology, and this is the mistake 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: I think a lot of psychs make, or previously made 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: when they're running corporit or sports programs. He'm a psych 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: and it's about schema, and I've got all these tools 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: head down. But I know a lot of players have 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: more of a physical intelligence, so it's legs up or 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: toes up, and then some are right in the middle. 30 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: So answering your question of a long way, awareness is 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: everything self awareness. And I've been deep on mindfulness the 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: past twelve months. And if apparently mindfulness has been around 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: a while, it's not new. Two and a half thousand 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: years ago. The Japanese samurai, we're practicing mindfulness. You look 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: at different is like the Yogis in India. We're doing 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: a very similar time. And while you've got different cults, 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: there's totally different parts of the world. And they didn't 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: have a mobile phone. There was no Snapchat or Twitter 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: or whatever it's called these days to share information that's 40 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 2: fascinating and Buddhism and the evolution of that as well. 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: So there's multiple tribes and cultures that you know, a 42 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: couple of thousand years ago were looking at this notion 43 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: of being still and being present and hups men, women athletes, 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: corporate athletes, everyone in between. 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm really bringing. 46 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: A lot more around that mindfulness and that ability to 47 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: be present in the moment without judgment, so to go 48 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: higher order on out on anything. And then I used 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: to do this, and a lot of that was probably 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: the imposter syndrome was revving too high buck. I've got 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: to show them what I know, or hey, I've worked 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: with this athlete, or hey I did this. So now 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: I just try and slower back, meet them where they are, 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: and then I ask people like, where are you at? 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: But the biggest challenge to mindfulness is distraction. And if 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: you can get your kids, if you can get people 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: that work for you, if you can get whole organizations 58 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: to not be on the mobile phone first thing in 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: the morning and not be on it at night. I 60 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: think the average now is four hours and seventeen minutes 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: a day that people are on their mother It's freaking crazy. 62 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: So any athlete, and if I brought it out to performer, 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: because performer is high performance athlete and someone who wants 64 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: to perform in life. Any performer, I tell them now, 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: the gold medal standard is ten minutes a day. So 66 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: that research I was saying before six minutes in your 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 2: mad minimum effective ten minutes from most people is totally 68 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: in the sweet spot. So to grow self awareness, because 69 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: we know there's two main benefits of mindfulness that samuraized 70 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: didn't have the research. The Yogis didn't have the research. 71 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: They just did it because it made them, what kept 72 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: them alive way back then. But the first branch of 73 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: mindfulness is exactly that. It's self awareness, and it's awareness 74 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: on your thoughts, your feelings, your body and the environment 75 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: you're in. So just slowing down and dropping that intensity 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: to have that awareness. The second level, or the second 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: outcome on mindfulness is wisdom and insight, but I think 78 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: that comes with a lot of years. So I am 79 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: big on mindfulness with any performer I work with now, mate, 80 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: and then I'm sure you get the same tif you 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: get the same with your clients. Yeah, I'm hearing what 82 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: you're saying, Cham, but I'm so bloody busy. How do 83 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: I do it? Well, get off your phone for ten 84 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: minutes and let's micro does mindfulness that you brush your 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: teeth first thing in the morning takes two minutes, the 86 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: rich person two minutes. So as you're brushing your teeth, 87 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: just set a daily intention today a great day looks like? 88 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: Or how am I going to show up today? While 89 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: you're doing the teethy bags as you commute to work 90 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: four or five minutes, just drop down, turn off the radio, 91 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: get off your mobile phone, and just look around. You 92 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: and I have some of the footballs. Go fuck, bro, 93 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: I'm doing that that mindfulness commute thing. And there's trees 94 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: near our live yeah, you know there's birds. So you 95 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 2: do it, brushing your teeth for two minutes five minutes 96 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: in your commute. You add that up mindful eating. It's 97 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: called mastication. Don't stuff up your constance there, ladies and gentsmen. 98 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: Masticating is actually chewing your food. I'm a guzzler harp 99 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: so like I inhale food like it's sizzler or you know, 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: last flight to quantits and you've got to eat all 101 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: the horse herbs. 102 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: So does that mean you're a big masticator? Is that 103 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: what you're telling us? 104 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: I'm a massive masticator. I love masticating and and I 105 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: go to town on it. 106 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 3: Good. 107 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: We're good for you carry on. She doesn't know what 108 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: to do. Do you want to chime in at any stage? 109 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: That's good. 110 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: I'm just going to sit in the backseat. 111 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: You can edit that bit out, Tiff. If you. 112 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: Like that. 113 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: You got to tell him. 114 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: So just slowing down your chewing for a couple of minutes, 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: and again harps. You do this and it sounds so simple, 116 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: and I really believe you've got a practice, or at 117 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: least try the stuff you're giving out, otherwise you're a 118 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: bit of a pedler full of shit. And then the 119 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: final one is you've got two ears in one mouth. 120 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: And I learned this from the beautiful man Tony Grant 121 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: to set up the Sydney University Coaching Psychology Unit and 122 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: unfortunately passed away a few years ago from cancer. But 123 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: Tiny used to say, you got two ears in one mouth, 124 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: and that's the balance you should have when you're communicating. 125 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: So stack that two minutes brushing your toothy fangs, four 126 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: or five minutes in your commute to work, just dropping 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: in and being present around your thoughts, your feelings, your body, 128 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: the environment. Do you realize there's birds? They put some 129 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: trees up here. And then when you're chewing tiff, We'll 130 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: just keep it at chewing. It's really like feeling the 131 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: texture of the food and slowing down. And this is 132 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: not new. They've been hearing this in cultures around the 133 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: world the thousands of years, and then just communicating and 134 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: having that approach when you're with someone, Hey, how are 135 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: you and listening and pausing. So it's pretty easy to 136 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: stack ten minutes a day and get people to do 137 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: a twenty one day challenge because this whole Hey, you 138 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: do it for three months, which you really need for 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: behavior change. It's a crock of shit to say make 140 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: good break a hab it in twenty one days. It's 141 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: not true. Three to four months is the real point. 142 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: But give them a start three weeks, ten minutes a day. 143 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: It's amazing when you see people have agency on this 144 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 2: and they do it. Totally change your self awareness. It 145 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: was a very long answer to a pretty simple question. 146 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: Hut going Yeah. 147 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: I was going to say, the one of the challenges 148 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 4: I reckon today is on that that we're so used 149 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 4: to over complicating everything that it's too simple. Five or 150 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: six years ago I did a three day meditation retreat 151 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 4: and a silent retreat actually, and weirdly didn't realize it 152 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 4: was going to involve sixty seven hours a day of 153 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 4: meditation and it was amazing, but I remember kind of 154 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: almost a bit of a frustration when they would teach us, 155 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: as Buddhists do that the walking meditation and it's mindfulness, right, 156 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: but they is slow present walking and feeling your feet 157 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: and being like just and I was so because I'm 158 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 4: so type ai. I'm like, this isn't doing anything, This 159 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: isn't the thing, Like, this is just walking? Why is this? 160 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: This can't be met a because we're so used to 161 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: science and data and all of the things that we 162 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 4: abandon it because it's too simple. 163 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: And moving meditation. There's some beautiful research around that, like 164 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: going for a slow walk grounding. I've got Indigenous friends 165 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: of Aboriginal friends from Darboy. They think it's hilarious that 166 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: they're white. Mate is traveling the world teaching people about grounding. 167 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: My mate Lapey goes, you're a fraud, he said, Andy, 168 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: My college has been doing that for thousands of years. 169 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: He said. 170 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: I don't get paid to go to conferences to tell 171 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: people to take those shoes off. But the lessons have 172 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: been there, Tiff. But we've just got so caught up 173 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: hyper jack supercharged type A or your road runner syndrome. 174 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: We are so bassed or so focused on success, and 175 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: then you add my bile. Fine, I'll get to my 176 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: hobby horse boys and girls and just all this bullshit, 177 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: click candy, impressing others, faux po, fear of other people's opinion, 178 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: and it just becomes a massive disease. And I think 179 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: some people, then twenty years later, go what doing. I've 180 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: been doing everything to impress people that I don't really like. 181 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: I've got a car with seven seats that no one 182 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: sits in. I've got a big house with all these 183 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: rooms that no one visits. I'm a miserable, rich bastard 184 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: because it's all been that external. Back to what I 185 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: was saying before, that vision of success is winning, and 186 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 2: it's more the Western definition of success, money, power, kudos, 187 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: and there's nothing wrong with that, and as long as 188 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: you get the end, add some pleasure, meaning and purpose, 189 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: and I think that's where we've got skewed tip that 190 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: we've been brought into or sold. It's all about success 191 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: with the collateral damage. So to me, absolutely, if I 192 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: work with them. I work with some founders who are 193 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: worth bees billions, but for them to not be a 194 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: really rich asshole, they've also got to work on themselves 195 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: because they're just like all of us. So it's a 196 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: constant work on it really is. And you can't download this, 197 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: and I think that's the other thing. We want the pill, 198 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 2: the potion, the bottle of the lotion, but you've got 199 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: to do the reps in sets. So that's why I 200 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: love that practical ten minutes a day, and I can 201 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: knock you out with the research. I don't give you 202 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: papers and everything else, but I think, I think, and 203 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: I'm interested in your thoughts. HAPs I'm adding more science 204 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: than I used to, for sure, but I think enough 205 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: to get the skeptics on board. And then it's you 206 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: don't need any more science, because a coping mechanism or 207 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: a form of avoidance is intellectualization, where you want more data, 208 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: more facts. And sometimes I'll say to someone, you've got 209 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: enough data. They've been doing mindfulness for two and a 210 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 2: half years, two and a half thousand years. Just fucking 211 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: do it ten minutes a day for twenty one days. 212 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: Come back and then tell me what your data says. 213 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: Then I can give you more data. 214 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of things, like, as you were, 215 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: it was all great. By the way, I was thinking 216 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: two things. One is about success, one is about consciousness. 217 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: And first thing, I want to start with consciousness. And 218 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: I feel like it's very easy in twenty twenty four 219 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: to live unconsciously, and that is basically, to get up 220 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: today and do what you did. Yet today, even though 221 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: yesterday wasn't a good day, wasn't very productive. I didn't 222 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: make good choices. I didn't look after my body, I 223 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: didn't look after my brain. I didn't look after my relationships. 224 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: But fuck it, that's what I'm doing again today. So 225 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: to live like genuinely, to live a conscious, intentional life 226 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: when we can easily default into a version of groundhog day, 227 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: requires awareness and courage and effort and energy and consistency. 228 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: It's like everybody loves the idea of having a fit, strong, lean, 229 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: functional body, but almost nobody will do the work consistently. 230 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: So the theory versus the practical process. And I think, 231 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: like I've spoken about this before, but if I say 232 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: to people all the time, In fact, I said this 233 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: to someone this week earlier this week. It's Friday night. 234 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: As we record, I was talking to a dude, and 235 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: I said to him, I want you to We're talking 236 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: about Portsy, which is on the Potinula here in Victoria. 237 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: I said, I want you to picture this. So I'm 238 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: giving you a block of land at Portsy. You're looking 239 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: at the ocean, and I'm giving you five million bucks 240 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: to build a house that you want on the block 241 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: that's looking at the ocean. I said, when are you 242 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: going to So you've got let's say, you've got counsel 243 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: of proof. We can build whatever you want. But here's 244 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: all the dough When are you going to start building? 245 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: And he said, well, And then we went through the 246 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: list of things that he would have to do to 247 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: build this house, the house that he wants to be in, 248 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, landscaping and architecture and fittings and furnishings and 249 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: colors and like the myriad of things that you would 250 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: have to do and plan and strategize and execute to 251 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: build a house that you want to live in, to 252 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: consciously create something that's a place that you want to inhabit. Right, 253 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: And then I said, what's more important your life or 254 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: your house? Is? Like, well, my life, I go, why 255 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: aren't you doing that? Forel life right? 256 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: Why? 257 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: And the thing is that so many of us are 258 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: literally in this unconscious repetition that doesn't fucking work right, 259 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: But we won't own up and step up because once 260 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: you're in the momentum of that operating system, that's a 261 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: three out of ten. You know, that river that you're 262 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: in the flow of, You've got to now swim to 263 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: the side of the river, which is hard, get out 264 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: of the fucking river, which is hard to find a 265 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: level of awareness and perspective because now I'm on the 266 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: ground looking at the river, and I can't be objective 267 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: about the thing I'm in the middle of. My long 268 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: winded point is that I think some people live this unconscious, 269 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: unintended existence while simultaneously going how did my life end 270 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: up like this? 271 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: Right? 272 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: And then they wake up and go, oh fuck, I'm 273 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: fifty this wasn't my plan. And then I would I 274 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: would say to them, can I see the plan? And 275 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: they're like, what, I go, you said that this wasn't 276 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: your plan. Where is the plan? They don't have a 277 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: fucking plan. They just had an idea of how things 278 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: would eventuate, you know, So yeahs. 279 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: On that one go one that story. As you built 280 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: up with I know the punchline so true. You look 281 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: at the amount of time people spend on a home 282 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: renovation or a built why because I want to have 283 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: a great house. How long are you going to be 284 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: in that house for at least five or ten years 285 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: until Margaret and I get the kids out or jamber 286 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: a right, So you're going to spend all this time. 287 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: So it's a great analogy. Second is a question for you, 288 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: how do you get the balance to tip people over? 289 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: Because effectively, what the three of us will work with 290 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: people around is getting them out of the level of 291 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: this comfort that's comfortable, meaning people are comfortable being uncomfortable. 292 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: I'm carrying five to maybe eight kilograms too much. My 293 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: cognitive recall is not great, but I'm still functioning at work. 294 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: I'm getting on okay with my kids in the family, 295 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: but not great. So it's not horrible, but it's not wonderful. 296 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: And then they just get stuck. As you said in 297 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: Groundhole Day. So I talk about you get comfortable being uncomfortable, 298 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: how do you dislodge that? Because one of the hardest 299 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: things is raising awareness. Because if someone comes to me 300 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: or you and says the wife or the hubby's about 301 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: to leave me? How serious are they? This happened to 302 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: me last year. She's got the spare car reversed in 303 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: the garage, knows out bags in the back for her 304 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: and the kids to go to a parents' house or 305 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: to go to a motel. So serious. So this guy, 306 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: his backside was burning and it wasn't just a bunch 307 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: and burner on his backside, it was two bututane burners. Yeah, 308 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: so if I had someone like that, or I'll often 309 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: get an executive who's one level from CEO and they've 310 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: been told you're really competent in your domain, mastery of 311 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: the industry, you're an asshole or under stress, you crumple 312 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: and you don't know how to perform in itself, reaking, 313 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: like do you want to become CEO? Absolutely, they're in 314 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: your pocket. So when you've got people who are really 315 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: uncomfortable and then the outcome there's fire ahead, then they're 316 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: going to get change. 317 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: They're really compliant. 318 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: So back to my question, that middle ground is hard, 319 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: So I'm curious how do you raise awareness on that? 320 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean I can't change anyone but me. Obviously. 321 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: The only life I've ever changed is mine. I've influenced 322 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: a people a few lives and inspired a few people. 323 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: But like I am very much about, you know, taking 324 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: the horse to water, and I'm which is for me 325 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: about opening the door on awareness and understanding of how 326 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: this stuff works. But nearly every time I do a presentation, 327 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: at some stage, I will say here's the good and 328 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: bad of today. The good is there's a whole bunch 329 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: of interesting and potentially transformational ideas and theories and strategies 330 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: and tools and resources that you can use. The bad 331 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: or the con is that I'm just a bloke up 332 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: the front sharing theory. Like I care that you enjoy 333 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: today and get something out of today, and hopefully you 334 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: like me because I'm insecure and hopefully it's a good experience. 335 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: But what I really care about is that after today 336 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: you will do stuff that will change your life, because 337 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: life's not a theory. And so for me and I 338 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: like to bring to people's attention the reason that maybe 339 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: they are not changing, and also even to say, you know, 340 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: guess what. This maybe uncomfortable, but in a minute, you're 341 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: going to be five years older and on your current rejectory, 342 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: your life is going to be shit. And you know that, 343 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: And your body's going to be worse, and your relationships 344 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: are going to be worse, your brain's going to be worse, 345 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: your outcomes are going to be worse. Based on what 346 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: you've told me now, is that what you want? 347 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: Will know? 348 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: Well, you're not going to accidentally like, but at some 349 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: stage you've got to go. But all I am. All 350 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: I can do is inspire, in form, educate here you want, 351 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: love you, support you, But I can't fucking do anything 352 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: for you like you. I can't get out of bed 353 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: for you, I can't be inspired for you. I can't 354 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: do hard work for you. I can't be resilient for you. 355 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: What has to fucking happen before you do it? And 356 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: they're like, what, I go, tell me what needs to 357 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: happen for you to actually stop fucking around? And sometimes 358 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: that sometimes and I've had people tell me ten years later, 359 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: remember that when you gave me the tough love, you 360 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: fucking scared the shit out of me, or you in 361 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: what ever, But even then they were the one that 362 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: still went and did the work, Because I, honestly, in 363 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: this sounds I don't mean this to sound bad, but 364 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: I get to the point where I almost can't be 365 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: fucked with some people because I go, dude, this is 366 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: we've had this conversation. I can't tell you anything new. 367 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: Like often it's friends who have asked me one hundred 368 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: times how to get in shape. Like I'm not fucking 369 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: telling you. 370 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: The problem with friends is there your friends and they 371 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: know you really well and they just harps. Is just 372 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: tiff if there's no exchange, whether it's money or there's 373 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: got to be some exchange or as with a friend 374 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: you're helping. 375 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, even with this show mate, I've had people send 376 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: me messages going you or typ changed my life and 377 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: I write back and I go, that's super kind of you, 378 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: but you're wrong, but thank you. I understand and appreciate 379 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: the sentiment. But thousands of people listen to that same 380 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: episode that you hurt and they did fuck all And 381 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: that's also not my fault. 382 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: You know. Just so stages of change, there's a great mind, 383 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: yea procesca theoretical model. 384 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: Love it It comes down to, I mean, as again cliche, 385 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: but are people really ready to do the work? You know, 386 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: and because otherwise it's just maybe interesting information And. 387 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 3: That the thing is that, like I believe that there 388 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 3: are many variables but I believe the number one variable 389 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: with this that really stops most people is just the 390 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 3: practical reality that the thing that they need to do 391 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 3: is hard the end, and people don't like hard. 392 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: People like the outcome. We want the doing hard, but 393 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: they don't want the fucking work, which is why ozen 394 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: pic exists, which is why pills powders fucking rapid this 395 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: two minute that right, And so people want the result 396 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: without the work, that destination without the journey, and that's 397 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: why that shit sells because fucking giddy up, I can 398 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: there's a shortcut. There's a hack, but there isn't like 399 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: the actually doesn't. 400 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: Twitally hear the word hack. You know, you go out 401 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: all weekend, drink what you want, take copious amounts of 402 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 2: other stuff. There's eat shitty food, and then Monday morning, 403 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: have a nice bath and do a hack. Something that 404 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: we've added in the last eighteen months that's been a 405 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: big shift in behavior change to our corporate programs is 406 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: doing a diagnostic, and we've had to really refine it 407 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: because when we first did it we are over complicated. 408 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: We have three simple diagnostics, one which is around energy 409 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: and we call that a lift Life score. And the 410 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: Live Life Score. We measure biological age and also a 411 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: mental fitness gauge. It takes four minutes and is integrated 412 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: with wearable tech. Now, so we can have a group 413 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: had just done a big, big group of specsavers around 414 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: Australia in New Zealand, so we had eighty percent of 415 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: them did in the score. So then I get in 416 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: the room. They know their biological age, they know their 417 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: mental fitness gauge, and I could just go right, here's 418 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: where you are, so suspend whether you like me, whether 419 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 2: you think I'm the shiny head banging on with shit 420 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 2: up the front. Whatever science says your biological age is shit, 421 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: What are you going to do about it? Science says 422 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 2: mental fitness gauge or whether it's psychological detachment or whatever 423 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: we're talking about, is horrible. What are you going to 424 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: do about it? And we do similar for mental skills, 425 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 2: and we do similar now for leadership capacity. That's been 426 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: a game changer, yes, because it creates that cognitive dissonance. 427 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 2: But here's the hard thing. When you're doing a podcast, 428 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: people aren't filling out a questionnaire or a diagnostic to 429 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: let you know where they are. 430 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, exactly, I wanted to. We touched a little 431 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: bit on, you know, the story of success, like we 432 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: all have a story, and you were talking about the 433 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: billionaires that you didn't say this, but my take is there. 434 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: You know, they're kind of financially rich, but sometimes emotionally, psychologically, 435 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: spiritually bankrupt. And so there's there's the I guess, there's 436 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: the the picture of or the practicality of success, but 437 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: not always the experience. You know. It's like, I remember 438 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: when I've told this story too much, but I was 439 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: at a stage in my life when I was financially 440 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: doing great. I had multiple businesses and staff, and I 441 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: was killing it. And from the outside looking in it 442 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: was razzle dazzle, but the inside out because I wasn't 443 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: looking after me and I was just quite at that 444 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: point in my life one dimensional, and you know, and 445 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: like my experience in the middle of this successful picture 446 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: was anything but success. Right, how do we kind of 447 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: navigate that? How do you navigate that with people? Because 448 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: and I'll shut up after this, but I guess in 449 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: our culture, success is really about what people can see. 450 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: You know, what you have, what you earn, what you own, 451 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: what you look like, what you drive, what people think 452 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: you your brand, your bank balance, oh your shit, like 453 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: no one goes. I'll look at that guy living in 454 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: that one bedroom flat driving the twenty five year old car. 455 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: He's really calm with a pet. So successful. Yeah, yeah, 456 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: like it. Success is all about things, but in reality 457 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: at ain't. How do you navigate that with people? 458 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: It's not either or, it's and right, it's the dichotomy. 459 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: And well, one guy I work with very very successful 460 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 2: from an external demand. 461 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: And then you'd be like this. You meet some of these. 462 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 2: Business people, you've read about them or you know of them, 463 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: and then you meet them and you realize the reality 464 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: is they're just like the three of us. They have 465 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: fears and phobias and just they're really good in some 466 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: areas of their life. I think you can have it both, 467 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: but you've got to do the work. So your analogy 468 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: of the house is beautiful. Hear me on a podcast 469 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: saying that, like it was my own one day. I 470 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: will always I will always reference, I always reference. I 471 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 2: teach people now that you can have both. So it's 472 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: getting into success external and there's nothing wrong with having stuff. 473 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: And there's some research on this. Todd Cash, Dan not 474 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 2: Kardashian there's no credibility with that surname on research. But 475 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: Todd cash Dan looks at the difference between the good 476 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: life and the goods life. So the goods life is 477 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 2: about that ower, money and success. I love that, Tift 478 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: jotting that down like a little bloody high performance. 479 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: No taker, that is that is good. Yeah, write that down, 480 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: to it down and. 481 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: The good life is pleasure, meaning and purpose. My story 482 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 2: harps you know my story. I got to just before 483 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: forty and I've been so focused on the extern all 484 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: that I'd won multiple state championships as an athlete, went 485 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: to the Institute of Sport, done well at school, built 486 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: a business, had good relationships, and then went through a 487 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: marriage breakdown with a grandfather called Patty Flynn, rich Irish 488 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: family tradition on my mother's side. Mum and Dad still together, 489 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 2: and I was so focused on what everyone thought of me, 490 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: had a chronic case of FOPO that I wasn't tending 491 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 2: my own garden, caught a relationship in reality, whenever any 492 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 2: marriage breaks down, the reality is somewhere in between. But 493 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: I was so focused on working with sporting teams building 494 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 2: a business that I wasn't focused on the marriage, and 495 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: then I had eighteen months functioning depressed, where I was 496 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 2: walking around like I was carrying a metaphorical cross because 497 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: I was so worried, so concerned what everyone thought of me. 498 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: But the reality is everyone just gives a fuck about 499 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: themselves and how you go and mate okay, and they 500 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: move on to their staff. I learned the hard way personally, 501 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: and they've been It's just so it's a gift to 502 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: work with the sort of people we do. So you 503 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: get to work with all domains, all different types of 504 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: career and codes, and I just I don't say now 505 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 2: success is just because someone's title. I think success one 506 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: of my best mates. He's one of the most successful 507 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 2: people I know. He's probably at a job two levels 508 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: below what he can do, but he's a connected Dad's 509 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 2: got a good marriage, he's healthy and fitness. He's best 510 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 2: mate you could ever have. He's always there. So it's 511 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: that juxtaposition between success and also looking at fulfillment, and 512 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 2: I really do think he can have both. But it's 513 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 2: bloody hard because you've got to work. Like the P 514 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 2: word purpose, A lot of people want to purpose. Now 515 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: they go off and do a course. I listen to 516 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: a podcast. It takes months to craft a purpose that 517 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: has meaning for you and mean we know the purpose 518 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 2: has got to be future focused. All the research shows 519 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: it's future focused. It's got to be more than you, 520 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: so it's about others and it's got to excite to 521 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: live in daylights out of you. And the research further 522 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: on purpose shows people with a clearly articulated purpose one 523 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: live longer, unce back from resilience and through they're going 524 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: to earn more money. So you listen to all that 525 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: and go why would I not have a clearly articulated purpose? 526 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 2: But you ask so many people what's your purpose? Harps 527 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 2: and they're working for a big company. Our purpose is 528 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: to increase return for our shareholders and stakeholders and positively 529 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 2: contribute to the community and having though, fuck, that's your 530 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: company's purpose. So back to the original question, we don't 531 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: spend enough time looking at the dance between the two. 532 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: How do you have both? And your house analogy is beautiful, 533 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 2: but you've got to do as much planning and work 534 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 2: on you as a human. What do you want to 535 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: be like? What is your experience like with others? Good? Bad, 536 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 2: are and different? What do you want it to be? 537 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: Like sorry to If I knew you were going to 538 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: come in with a beautiful, poignant statement, then. 539 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 4: I was going to ask you, Andrew, do you think 540 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 4: we find our purpose or do you think our purpose 541 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: finds us? Do you think you're looking if people come 542 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 4: and say, help me find my purpose? Do you think 543 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 4: the art of looking for your purpose will be a 544 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 4: roadblock to you actually connecting with your purpose? 545 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: Jeez, that's a deep question. Can you put some music 546 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 2: when you're producing this, like some spiritual might just do. 547 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 4: A bit of singing in the background while you fish. 548 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: It's trying to buy some time? Willy figures out a 549 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: fucking decent sounding answer. I'm on the edge of my 550 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: see too. Come on, so I can feel the imports 551 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: in running rampant crazy. 552 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 2: Put some crazy gypsy music now, I think you teacher, 553 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: here's my thoughts. There's no research to back this up. 554 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 2: I reckon people want to go deeper on purpose when 555 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: they've got other stuff going pretty well. I don't think 556 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: someone eighteen nineteen, early twenties really cares much about purpose. 557 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: They want a job. They probably want to get together 558 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: with someone else and then we'll have a bit of 559 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 2: fun in their life. I find a lot of people 560 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: tiff around that mid forties to early fifties when they've 561 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: got a bit experience, may have a family, may not, 562 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: but it's I am probably at the halfway point or 563 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: I'm just beyond fuck. 564 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: What is this about? 565 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all been about that external building, the car, 566 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: the trophy. As I mentioned before, seats in the car, 567 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: no one now sits, in rooms that no one visits. 568 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 2: There's got to be more to this. So my experience 569 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: is that it tends to happen more around that mid 570 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: forties when we've got a bit of experience in the tank. 571 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: Pretty rare that i'd work with, especially an athlete who's 572 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: in their early twenties who would have a really clearly 573 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: articulated purpose. There's one or two a couple of athletes 574 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: I work with. I won't mention the names because I 575 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 2: work with them one on one and I'm doing some 576 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: work with some of them about this, and I don't 577 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: have permission, But I can name that. 578 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: On one hand, Yeah, do you think that you know 579 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: that old kind of that that nugget of people who 580 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: get to the top of the mountain realize they've climbed 581 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: the wrong mountain. You know, it's like, oh, fuck, this 582 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: is not the mountain, you know, because I think sometimes 583 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: we succeed, but the thing that we thought would happen, 584 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: or that we would feel or experience or be in 585 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: the middle of emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, it ain't there. And 586 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: you're like, fuck, because I had a story that when 587 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: I arrived at this place, this would be my experience, 588 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, And it's and I think are really easy 589 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: to understand. One for people is and Tif's probably done this. 590 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've done it, Andrew. I've worked with hundreds 591 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: of people that I took from really out of shape 592 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: to really in shape, and very few of them were 593 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: happy when they got there, like or content Like. Very 594 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: few of them got to the point. I mean they 595 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: were happier, and they were healthier, of course, but the 596 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: amount of people who would go, oh, just one more kilo, 597 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: I just just two more kilos, just one more dress 598 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: size or pant size, or like that experience or state 599 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: of being truly content, I mean truly I am where 600 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: I want to be. I don't need any more. I 601 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: don't need to be lighter, I don't need to be leaner, 602 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: I don't need to be richer, I don't need more attention. 603 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't need you to tell me I'm amazing. I 604 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: don't need more accolades. I don't even know if that's 605 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: almost possible. 606 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: There's a really interesting experiment that's going to happen in 607 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: twenty four maybe it's twenty three days from today, called 608 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 2: the Paris Olympics, and there's going to be so many 609 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 2: young men and women and this is all they've wanted 610 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: from a young age. I want to be an Olympian, 611 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: and then the five rings, whether it's tattooed on your 612 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 2: shoulder or metaphorically, it's tattooed as an Olympian. So this 613 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 2: is that external performance based identity. I've worked with so 614 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: many people mate, who've gone to the Olympics, who've gone 615 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 2: to the World Champs, who've achieved insert in a sporting environment, 616 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 2: and then they come back and they go, fuck, it 617 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: feels empty now. And it feels empty for a couple 618 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 2: of reasons. One is there was nothing to replace that. 619 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 2: It was a journey that put an arrow in the 620 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: dartboard and when that's where I'm getting to, and that's 621 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: what it's all about now, there's some merit in that 622 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 2: because to be world class in anything. You know this, 623 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 2: you've got to be massively unbalanced. If I have a 624 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 2: young man young woman come and meet me and say, hey, 625 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 2: I want to represent the country. I want to be 626 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 2: the best musician, actor, whatever it is, but I want 627 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: to have a bower's life. I have laughed at them. 628 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: I do that gypsy laugh I was doing before. We've 629 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: see that that's not going to happen. If you want 630 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: to be world class, you've got to be fucking unbalanced 631 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: for a decade or two. Then just make sure you 632 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 2: don't blow everything up so much that the collateral damage 633 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 2: is still repairable with relationships and well being in and 634 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 2: I can run with you on that. And what I 635 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: like about that is your being up front and letting 636 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: them know you're not going to go to the partners. 637 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: If you have a relationship, you go. I have someone 638 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 2: who actually is very attuned to your needs. That's a 639 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 2: classic example, mate, that post Olympic depression. There's even a 640 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 2: term for it. 641 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: Now. 642 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that people are actually clinically depressed, but 643 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 2: there's a real dip in their mood months after the Olympics. Why, 644 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: because it's that whole identity is I perform. Therefore I 645 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 2: am and in one of the areas I'm so passionate 646 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 2: about is just dipping it in a little bit. So 647 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 2: even in the pre season with the Seagulls, I actually 648 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 2: did a session on self identity. So the fact that 649 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 2: I'm working with NRL players in the off season, and 650 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 2: it's totally outdated, as you know in AFL saying they're 651 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 2: all book heads and idiots and just drink and sort 652 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 2: of party. That notion has gone out decades ago. There 653 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 2: are late athletes. But we started to talk about self 654 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 2: awareness and we're just dipping it in. So I had 655 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: a couple of players come up and say, can I 656 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 2: have a bit more about that? So it was a 657 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 2: light touch and back to the question TIF, I think 658 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 2: the teacher appears on purpose when the student is ready 659 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 2: as well as so. I'd done courses, I'd read books 660 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: on purpose, I'd listen to people. I was at KPMG 661 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 2: mid forties, earning a fortune, and I was empty. 662 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: It was crazy. I was earning more money. 663 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 2: Than I could ever imagine. It was off at a 664 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: global role which was hundreds and hundreds of thousands more 665 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: than I was even on and I just pulled the 666 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 2: pin and people thought I was an idiot. But the 667 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 2: reason why harps is I thought, no, I'm not contributing. 668 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: I don't actually feel like I'm making a difference to 669 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: people's lives. And I've got full respect for KPMG. Still 670 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 2: work with a bunch of the very senior leaders, still 671 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 2: do some consulting for them. But I just didn't be 672 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: on a pay packet where for me success was driving revenue. 673 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: It was about impact. I would add one thing which 674 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: is not instead of but as well as and I 675 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: think people get a little anxious over because they don't 676 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: know what their purpose is, so then they just find 677 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: a new thing to worry about. I would say to 678 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: you listeners that in my experience, you might not have 679 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: a single purpose. You might have many, or you might 680 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: have a few. It doesn't need to be a single thing. 681 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 3: Right. 682 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: My job is I've got to fucking feed the homeless. 683 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's part of what you do, but also 684 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: your purpose will evolve and change over time, perhaps like 685 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: there was a time for me where a big part 686 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: of my purpose was helping people get physically well and 687 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: educating and inspiring people to like live their best lifestyle 688 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: and embrace all of that you know, it was very 689 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: much around physiology. And but for me, that part of 690 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: my life or that that that purpose had it used 691 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: by date, just like milk and bread has a use 692 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: by date. You know, So you know, what might be 693 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: your focus or what blows your mind, or what meets 694 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: your needs, or what gives you joy, or what stretches 695 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: you or grows you. It might be different in five years, 696 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: so you know. And also another kind of I guess 697 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: piece of advice is that you like when you hear's 698 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: somebody like Andrew talking about purpose, you don't need to 699 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: figure this out by lunchtime tomorrow. This is there's no urgency, 700 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, And I think the idea of just opening 701 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: the door and like gently walking through the door and 702 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: start to think about living a life with more purpose, 703 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: whatever that means for you. And by the way, there's 704 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: no it doesn't fucking matter what it is. It only 705 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: matters to you. It doesn't matter to me or Tip 706 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: or Andrew. And also you know, just living that as 707 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: we spoke about, you know, everyone's going to wake up 708 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: in a minute, and we're five years older, and so 709 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: in order to inhabit that five year life that we 710 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: would love to that five year later life. You know 711 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: that's really a big part of that is dependent on 712 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: what we do now or what we do moving forward 713 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: from now. You know that, Hohle, this wasn't my plan. Well, 714 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: if you don't have a plan, you're definitely not going 715 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: to go where you would like to know. So I 716 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: think that I'll step down off my bloody high horse now. 717 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: But I just think that that giving people permission Andrew 718 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: also to not need to figure this out in the 719 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: next ten minutes. But at the same time, don't put 720 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: it in the bottom drawer and think it's just going 721 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: to fucking sort itself out, because that too, is a 722 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: bad idea. I'll jump on your high horse. 723 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 2: And when I have someone who's or if I'm in 724 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 2: a group and the brief is, can you talk to 725 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 2: this executive team and we want you to cover purpose, 726 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: I'll run out and say what I've told you for 727 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 2: the research shows, bang bang bang, A purpose has to 728 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: be bigger than you, excite the living daylights out of you, 729 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 2: and be future focused. All the data on that. However, 730 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 2: right here, right now, if you're tired and fatigued, if 731 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 2: you're really distracted and you don't have time to put 732 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 2: into this. Don't freaking go there. It's just going to 733 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 2: stress you out. And you're almost see a collective. So 734 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: you mean I don't need a purpose? No, no, no, 735 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 2: it's just not the right time now. So when you've 736 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 2: got more time, more energy, more attention in this set 737 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 2: into going deeper, Well what do I do now? Champ 738 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 2: makes sure you've got some meaning, some fun, some pleasure, 739 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 2: some joy in your life and supplement and and I 740 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 2: see people go because life can be tough. We've had COVID. 741 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 2: There's ups and downs in relationships and work and everything else. 742 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 2: Here's what I've learned from having four kids. Number one, Fuck, 743 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 2: they're expansive. I think that's it. That's really the story. 744 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 2: I've learned from kids. My kids play and the two 745 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 2: little girls, Sophia's four, Millie is two. 746 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: But she keeps on me, I'm not a baby. You're 747 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: a baby. She got my smartest gene harps. 748 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: They play, they have play dough, play dates, play school, 749 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 2: play time, play lunch every single day and often look 750 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: at adults and what do we do? We do meetings 751 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,919 Speaker 2: And that's where the story ends. So what I've learned 752 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 2: through my gorgeous little kids and my bigger kids. Is 753 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 2: build some fun and some frivolity and play into a situation. 754 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 2: And I find this. I've just had a couple of 755 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: really busy weeks. I just make sure to have some fun. 756 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 2: Whether it's with the kids. It could be fitness, play 757 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 2: tiff like you know you're there, you're not full on 758 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 2: smashing into someone, but you're just grappling, doing a bit 759 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 2: of wrestling, just having a bit of fun with it. 760 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 2: Or it could be you know, I love a swim 761 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 2: in the ocean or a surf. So people listening to 762 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 2: this harps is on the money. Don't go to purpose 763 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 2: if you're not ready, but don't use that as an 764 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 2: excuse for not having a bit of fun and a 765 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 2: bit of pleasure, a bit off join your life, because, 766 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 2: as you say, you wake up on five years older 767 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 2: and go, yeah, that was pretty shitty boring five years. 768 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 2: And I've seen this too much and so few harps. 769 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 2: It's that you climb the mountain and you have a miserable, 770 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 2: boring bastard when you get there. 771 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: You know, if we're going to buy a car, the 772 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: second hand car, there's this thing that everyone does is 773 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: you take it. Either you take it or the person 774 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: who's selling it, takes it to a mechanic who's going 775 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: to climb all over it and see what's working and 776 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: what's not working. You know, you kind of do an assessment. 777 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: It needs this, it needs that. That's no good, that's 778 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: bad for the car. We need a new tie there. 779 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: We need to fix that fucking head gasket because it's 780 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: leaking oil. Blah blah blah. Right, And I think we 781 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: can draw an analogy on our life is that. I 782 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: think if you're not sure on your purpose, or you 783 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: don't have clarity about absolute clarity about where you want 784 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: to be in one, two five years, I think a 785 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: really good starting point is to do a roadworthy on 786 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: your life, is to kind of put it up on 787 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: the hoist and go, let me have a look at 788 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: my life. What's my current operating system. What am I 789 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: investing time and energy and focus in. What are my 790 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: results telling me? What kind of outcomes am I producing 791 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: with my body, with my health, with my career, with 792 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: my relationships, with my projects, with my academic pursuits, with 793 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: my you know, maintaining my cognitive function. What am I 794 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: doing like I'm sixty years old, am I doing anything 795 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: that's going to make my brain work better when I'm 796 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: sixty five, would I like it to work better? 797 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 3: Well? 798 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: If so, what the fuck am I doing? By the way, 799 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm fifteen kilos overweight, I'm morbidly obese. I'm not trying 800 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 1: to be disrespectful here anyone, but forget what I look like. 801 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: But just do I want to be healthier? Yes? 802 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 4: I do? 803 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,439 Speaker 1: Cool? What are you currently doing? And so I think 804 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: it is requires courage. But to be able to kind 805 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: of you know that e myth concept of not working 806 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: in the business but on the business. And it's like, 807 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: it's very hard to be objective about me because I'm me, 808 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: so sometimes what's important And I've spoken about this story 809 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: many times. I won't bore everyone. But when I was 810 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: about thirty five, I hit the pause button on my 811 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: life and I went away for ten days and spent 812 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: them alone because I literally wanted to figure out what 813 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: the fuck I was doing with my life. Even though 814 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: I was successful in inverted commas, I didn't feel it. 815 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: And so for me, stepping back from my day to 816 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: day and the people I interacted with, and my roles 817 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: and responsibilities and the gym that I went to every 818 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: day with the same bloke and trained at and the 819 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, I just went to a different place. I 820 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: didn't talk to anyone. But what that distance, that metaphoric 821 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: and geographic distance gave me was a level of insight 822 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: and perspective and awareness that I couldn't get in the 823 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: middle of the day to day. So I think, my 824 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: long winded, fucking point is if your life, your results, 825 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: your outcomes, your health, your lifestyle, your relationships, your mindset 826 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 1: is not working in inverted commas, whatever that means, then 827 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: start to try to put your life up on the 828 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: hoist to get a perspective, an awareness, and insight into 829 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: what you currently can't what's working, what's. 830 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 2: Not working, Start with those questions. This is where that 831 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 2: convergence divergence comes back in. As you say that I 832 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: can't help but think your listeners. You'll have a heavy 833 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 2: slang towards the corporate audience and the entrepreneurs have a 834 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 2: lot of core put in their business because you don't 835 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 2: run a good business without metrics. So everyone listening to 836 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 2: this would have some sort of form of metric or 837 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 2: KPI in parts of their life. And then big businesses 838 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 2: do this beautifully. You've got the metrics and you just 839 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 2: know what the metrics are for your business, whether it's 840 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 2: sales meetings per week or turn around time on proposals 841 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 2: or dispatch in a warehouse. There's KPIs on running a 842 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 2: good business, and it's always measured by revenue. You look 843 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 2: at engagement and a couple of other metrics as well, 844 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 2: market penetration. And I look at the time we spend 845 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 2: on a business and the planning on a business, so 846 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 2: planning on building a house, and we do fuck all 847 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 2: on our bodies. So even if you just took a 848 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 2: little bit of that and every year did a bit 849 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 2: of a review, it's like the annual review, where am 850 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 2: I at? I do this every year harps, I do 851 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 2: this with my clients. So as an ex athlete, I 852 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: think you don't lose that metrics. But I know what 853 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 2: I want my resting heart rate to be. I know 854 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 2: what what I want my heart rate variability to be. 855 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 2: I know what my sleep metrics. So with people on 856 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 2: wearable tech metrics get the heart rate variability. So you 857 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 2: have all these metrics and then you can dial up 858 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 2: the data. The training, the strength training, the fasting, the 859 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 2: fasting and having a bit of fun and everything in between. 860 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 2: I just find that we do such a good job 861 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 2: on businesses, generally on metrics, but we do such a 862 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 2: poor job. So as you're saying, the hills hoist, if 863 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 2: our audience just your audience just had a couple of 864 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 2: metrics or came back like the annual review, how am 865 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: I going? Do I fit into these genes? And Bernard 866 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 2: Salt wrote a great article a few years ago, pretty controversial. 867 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 2: Have you ever had Bird on the show? No demographer 868 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 2: rites for The Australian and he wrote that he thinks 869 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 2: a relationship should be a bit like a bank. So 870 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 2: you have a home line three years time, I know 871 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 2: my line for the apartment comes up. We've got to 872 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 2: go and renegotiate with the bank. Now, hopefully interest rates 873 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 2: will be down. On negotiating, we'll lock some in fixed, 874 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 2: some variable And there's your answer. Bird was saying we 875 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 2: should do similar with our relationships. I'm in a relationship, 876 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 2: So how am I to you? What's working? 877 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: How's it going on communication? How's our sense of life going? 878 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 3: Like? 879 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 2: I think I'm awesome? Like do you find that I'm awesome? 880 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 2: And isn't that an interesting analogy though? To do that 881 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 2: on a relationship to do that on yourself and its people. 882 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 2: That's so fucking interesting. I mean yeah, because in the 883 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: middle of all of that awareness and strategy and logic 884 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 2: and assessment is emotion and fear and anxiety and body 885 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 2: image and shit self esteem. But I love the I 886 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 2: love the question. I love that I would like to 887 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 2: dig deeper into that. 888 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 1: Wow, I don't do that with my partner. 889 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 2: Would scare the shit out of me doing that with 890 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 2: She's lebonoes.
