Speaker 2: because she insisted on sending the core team an email saying,
Speaker 2: check out my glasses.

Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. Incredible that schools are still doing that, isn't it. Photos.
Speaker 4: I love getting the photos.
Speaker 2: Do you. Yeah, we've still got all of ours, and
Speaker 2: they dread them coming out because they're real mumbley photos,
Speaker 2: aren't they. I reckon, even like any big Hollywood star.
Speaker 2: Now you dig out the school photos, you look at mumbley,
Speaker 2: there's something about the hair. It's been overcombed or wet
Speaker 2: down for young boys, just really sort of smeared down
Speaker 2: plasters to the top of your head. You know, they're
Speaker 2: normally some sort of spot has come up just the
Speaker 2: universe the day or two before the photos as well,
Speaker 2: and also past us so expensive.
Speaker 4: They are very expensive.
Speaker 1: I reckon.
Speaker 2: They're higher per photo than the wedding photos, which you're
Speaker 2: always really expensive.
Speaker 1: Mine a double every time because I've got twins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know it.
Speaker 5: God, surely maybe you could just put those together and
Speaker 5: do all their instead of individual photoshot.
Speaker 2: Well, no, we had to pay for the siblings, so
Speaker 2: both the girls together as well and as the separates
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you go to Disneyland you can do this,
Speaker 4: but this is the package price for that. Oh you

Speaker 2: the show. Now, those of you've been listening to showing for
Speaker 2: a couple of years here in Melbourne, we'll know that
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with a thing called nominative determinism. This is
Speaker 2: a psychological theory. There's been proven time and time again.
Speaker 2: Whenever I talk about it on the show, it always
Speaker 2: gets proven by your stories. It's a theory that your
Speaker 2: name will influence it's your choice of job. The only
Speaker 2: reason I'm talking about it today is I got a
Speaker 2: load of emails from people who obviously must have seen
Speaker 2: the same news report and they took a screenshot and
Speaker 2: sent it to me.
Speaker 1: I love the mat. We haven't talked. We haven't spoken
Speaker 1: about this on the show for about a year or so.
Speaker 2: It was a BBC news report and they were interviewing
Speaker 2: a guy who's a rock climbing instructor. His name, and
Speaker 2: I even googled this, thinking maybe some people have just
Speaker 2: deep faked this cliff hanger.
Speaker 1: Incredible, incredible hanger. It's too good to be true.
Speaker 2: It's like there's no way and this rugged outdoor type
Speaker 2: he looks up the kind of guy who is a
Speaker 2: rock climbing instructor.
Speaker 1: I googled it.
Speaker 2: Sure enough, Cliffhanger is a rock climbing instructor. So today
Speaker 2: it is back for the first time in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell's show.
Speaker 2: My special guest this morning is the world's most in
Speaker 2: demand mindset coach.
Speaker 1: It is Ben Crow. Ben. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 14: Thank you, Christian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: And you're someone I've got to know. The last couple
Speaker 1: of years.
Speaker 2: If a lot of people don't recognize the name, how
Speaker 2: would you describe what you do?
Speaker 14: I guess I try and help people with their mindset
Speaker 14: on the field in a professional sense, to find confidence
Speaker 14: in their skills, with belief in a personal sense, to
Speaker 14: believe in their potential, and try and find the freedom
Speaker 14: to compete, have fun and play and as human beings.
Speaker 14: I guess that's what we should all be doing, whether
Speaker 14: an athlete or or a student.
Speaker 2: It takes a I've just finished writing my book. It
Speaker 2: takes a lot to write a book. It feels like
Speaker 2: a conversation with you, Ben. It's a great book. Every story,
Speaker 2: every perspective shift that you're helping us with throughout the
Speaker 2: book has got real world.
Speaker 1: It's crammed with stories.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and that's deliberate because I think stories is how
Speaker 14: we learn as humans. Stories, which taps into our imagination,
Speaker 14: moves it from an intellectual understanding to an emotional understanding.
Speaker 14: You know, we are the stories we tell ourselves about others.
Speaker 14: But when we can hear stories from others, especially in
Speaker 14: perfect stories of how people overcame adversity and so forth.
Speaker 14: But getting back to the book, I realized a long
Speaker 14: time ago that these principles are two thousand years old.
Speaker 2: And what's going is the whole book really is you
Speaker 2: walking us through how to shift perspectives. And I guess
Speaker 2: most of everything in our life is perspectives. And when
Speaker 2: you think about it and you challenge your perspectives and assumptions,
Speaker 2: invariably they're wrong. The perspective shifts. Is that what you
Speaker 2: think most of us need. That's where we're struggling when
Speaker 2: we talking about being stuck in our lives or at
Speaker 2: work or at home.
Speaker 1: Is that what you think it is?
Speaker 14: I do very much. So Yeah, perspective by definition means
Speaker 14: the way you see something or your attitude towards something. Right,
Speaker 14: So am I stuck at home? Am I safe at home?
Speaker 14: Do I get to do this? Or I have to
Speaker 14: got to do this? So our perspective literally guides our
Speaker 14: entire life, so choosing it wisely is pretty important.
Speaker 2: One of the most impactful chapters in your book for
Speaker 2: me is the one going from fair to Play. What
Speaker 2: could you tell people listening right now about how you
Speaker 2: reframe fair and pressure?
Speaker 14: As humans, we're designed by nature to play, but we've
Speaker 14: just lost that up on We think play is table tennis.
Speaker 14: So I say in the book that play needs a rebrand.
Speaker 14: It does because it's fundamental to human existence. You think
Speaker 14: about this radio show. Everything you're doing is play based, right,
Speaker 14: And the simplest way to get into play is to
Speaker 14: smile and be curious. But there are different forms of play.
Speaker 14: Curiosity play is the simplest one. We can simply ask yourself,
Speaker 14: what if? Just start a question with what if we
Speaker 14: did this right? What if you've put a kamana around Australia?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 14: What if we you know, like when Nike signed Michael Jordan,
Speaker 14: all basketball shoes had to be white, right, and if
Speaker 14: they had any color then he'd be banned and they'd
Speaker 14: find five thousand dollars a game. Young designer in the
Speaker 14: meeting said what if we did it anyway? And what
Speaker 14: if we paid the fines? And what if we made
Speaker 14: an ad about it?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 14: And within three months became the number one shoe in
Speaker 14: the world. So simply asking what if is a really
Speaker 14: powerful way to get into the playstate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and letting that curiosity be the engine that drives
Speaker 2: everything in your life. It's a better way to be
Speaker 2: in the world.
Speaker 14: Yeah, knowing you've got the power to get yourself back
Speaker 14: into the playstate. Whether you're playing a Grand Slam tennis
Speaker 14: final or you know, a radio show going national. It's
Speaker 14: really really powerful if you understand how to harness that
Speaker 14: as well.
Speaker 2: Tell me about your work with Ash Barty. What did
Speaker 2: that look like? What were the big shifts you could
Speaker 2: help her with?
Speaker 14: Yeah, so the first part and Ash was probably the
Speaker 14: most curious outlet I've ever worked with and also the
Speaker 14: most stubborn. The first date was Ash just getting to
Speaker 14: understand who she was, the human being that was. She
Speaker 14: was so defined by a ranking right unranked one hundred
Speaker 14: in the world or two hundred in the world and
Speaker 14: so forth. And you know that's a bit of a
Speaker 14: mind screw when you just your whole identity is linked
Speaker 14: to a number and a grading and so forth. So
Speaker 14: separating the per from the persona was really important for
Speaker 14: Ash and identifying the beliefs that are holding her back.
Speaker 14: I say to a lot of people, for Ashbarty, winning
Speaker 14: Wimbledon wasn't success. Believing she was worthy to win Wimbledon.
Speaker 1: That was her.
Speaker 14: Definition of success and that happened six months earlier at
Speaker 14: a cafe in Brisbane called Momos.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 14: So establishing the.
Speaker 1: Beliefs where epiphanies happened.
Speaker 14: Over a few beers and a few tears, right. So,
Speaker 14: and for Ash then it was very much about treating
Speaker 14: this life as a career, as an adventure, right and
Speaker 14: then playing with it. And everywhere she went she was
Speaker 14: trying to play and have fun. And she had practical
Speaker 14: jokes with her team. You know, there's very famous. At
Speaker 14: Wimbledon she answered every question in a press conference with
Speaker 14: a Disney quote and see if the journalists would get
Speaker 14: you know, and we gave her the quote before she
Speaker 14: walked into the room. So, the older we get, we
Speaker 14: think we have to take life seriously. But there is
Speaker 14: this thing called neotny. When niotny means the older you get,
Speaker 14: the younger you become. I think you've got, you know,
Speaker 14: the niotny gene in you, Christian. It's a superpower if
Speaker 14: you don't take your life and yourself too seriously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all know older relatives that actually grow. My
Speaker 2: mother law was someon of this. She grew younger as
Speaker 2: she got older, the zestful life just got greater and greater.
Speaker 2: It was incredible to see and be around that energy source.
Speaker 2: She's running on a clean fuel.
Speaker 14: We talk in the book about the Blue Zones. Yes,
Speaker 14: these five areas around the world where people live. That's
Speaker 14: the largest amount of centurions where people live over one
Speaker 14: hundred years old. And then we trace the reason they're
Speaker 14: living over one hundred years old and being in the
Speaker 14: play state and laughing and hanging out with friends and
Speaker 14: you know, relationships, experiences and memories and you know, farming
Speaker 14: your own food and making your own None.
Speaker 2: Of that is about a resume or a job title
Speaker 2: or the corner office.
Speaker 14: Correct, correct, Yeah, you realize at the end of the day,
Speaker 14: when you readefine success less from achievement and more to fulfillment,
Speaker 14: you realize the importance of these intrinsic motivations. That is
Speaker 14: such for me. That's probably the second most favorite chapter
Speaker 14: in the book.
Speaker 2: It's a great book. It's out today. I cannot recommend
Speaker 2: it enough. I generally mean I've read it twice. Ben Crow,
Speaker 2: Where the Light Gets In is a fantastic book.
