Thank you very much for 0:00:26.725 --> 0:00:29.805 checking out today's show. Now, the one thing I'm excited 0:00:29.845 --> 0:00:31.565 to talk about today something I've been working on for 0:00:31.565 --> 0:00:34.004 a couple of years. I've written a new book and 0:00:34.245 --> 0:00:36.645 it's out for pre order today, comes out in July, 0:00:37.245 --> 0:00:40.364 and it's called Unscript, The Radical Act of being Yourself, 0:00:40.445 --> 0:00:43.165 and it's about something very very dear to my heart, 0:00:43.205 --> 0:00:46.525 which is about how we connect to each other and 0:00:46.565 --> 0:00:50.404 what gets in the way to deeper, real connection. And 0:00:50.445 --> 0:00:52.404 one thing I've noticed, and I know that you all 0:00:52.405 --> 0:00:54.325 would have noticed this as well in your own lives 0:00:54.325 --> 0:00:56.525 as well. Over the last couple of years, we are 0:00:56.525 --> 0:00:59.325 becoming more and more disconnected. As we spend more and 0:00:59.325 --> 0:01:03.005 more time online. We're losing like this muscle that we 0:01:03.085 --> 0:01:05.525 have to connect with each other. And the more time 0:01:05.565 --> 0:01:08.165 we are online, we think we're being social. And if 0:01:08.165 --> 0:01:10.045 you would, you think, but a social media isn't actually 0:01:10.085 --> 0:01:14.005 that social. It's more about the algorithm wants us to 0:01:14.045 --> 0:01:18.245 stay in the algorithm, and it feeds us division and anger. 0:01:18.365 --> 0:01:21.405 It's not about true connection. That is not where true 0:01:21.405 --> 0:01:24.525 connection lives in front of each other. We're losing this. 0:01:24.605 --> 0:01:27.325 And the one thing about why I think radio is 0:01:27.365 --> 0:01:30.445 a magical, magical media more than TV or anything else, 0:01:30.565 --> 0:01:33.925 is that radio is about right now and the radio 0:01:34.125 --> 0:01:37.045 we do and the radio you hopefully like listening to. 0:01:37.565 --> 0:01:40.164 And we've heard this through so many stories from you guys, 0:01:40.565 --> 0:01:43.165 day in, day out. Is it's a chance to actually 0:01:43.245 --> 0:01:45.445 drop the performance that most of us do in all 0:01:45.485 --> 0:01:47.725 of our lives. There was a point before I decided 0:01:47.965 --> 0:01:50.405 to move to Australian really change our lives, where I 0:01:50.445 --> 0:01:52.885 was driving home from a radio show I've done four 0:01:52.925 --> 0:01:55.245 hours I took for four hours. I built that show 0:01:55.365 --> 0:01:57.565 that had two and a half million listeners. And you know, 0:01:57.605 --> 0:01:59.805 sometimes you catch yourself in the mirror. I was stuck 0:01:59.805 --> 0:02:01.845 in traffic, which was every day in my life in London, 0:02:02.165 --> 0:02:04.685 and I looked at myself in the rearview mirror and 0:02:04.725 --> 0:02:07.285 I looked away because I certainly realized, you actually haven't 0:02:07.325 --> 0:02:10.165 said anything for the last four hours that you actually meant. 0:02:10.725 --> 0:02:13.685 I'd realized I was performing a version of myself and 0:02:13.725 --> 0:02:15.245 I think this happens to a lot of us. We're 0:02:15.245 --> 0:02:17.764 performing a version of us house and it wasn't just 0:02:17.805 --> 0:02:19.845 a work. I realized it was starting to creep into 0:02:19.885 --> 0:02:22.085 my home life as well, so I made it. I'm 0:02:22.085 --> 0:02:25.085 also as how exhausting it is to keep up this 0:02:25.165 --> 0:02:28.125 performance of a version of yourself. And again, social media 0:02:28.165 --> 0:02:29.965 is great, there's so many great things about social media, 0:02:30.005 --> 0:02:32.685 but what it also shows us is a fake version 0:02:32.845 --> 0:02:35.405 of people. And think it makes us think that we 0:02:35.445 --> 0:02:38.485 need to be some perfect version to have connection with 0:02:38.525 --> 0:02:40.325 other people. And the one thing I can tell you 0:02:40.725 --> 0:02:43.605 is that people are starved of real connection. You don't 0:02:43.685 --> 0:02:46.325 connect to someone trying to be perfect. You connect to 0:02:46.365 --> 0:02:48.405 someone when they drop the act, when they unscript is 0:02:48.405 --> 0:02:51.005 what I've called the book Unscript. The radical act of 0:02:51.045 --> 0:02:54.205 being yourself. Being yourself is going to become harder and 0:02:54.205 --> 0:02:56.644 harder for the next couple years because we're opting out 0:02:56.725 --> 0:02:58.325 so much of our voice and what to say and 0:02:58.325 --> 0:03:01.245 what to think, increasingly to AI. It's a lot of 0:03:01.285 --> 0:03:05.925 fake people online influences fake and also AI slop as well. 0:03:05.925 --> 0:03:09.125 And so the book is called Unscript. Written it with 0:03:09.165 --> 0:03:11.325 one aim in mind that actually it helps you get 0:03:11.365 --> 0:03:15.565 excited about having better conversations because our lives are a 0:03:15.605 --> 0:03:18.965 series of conversations, and how we talk to each other 0:03:19.365 --> 0:03:21.365 is actually the quality of our lives as how we 0:03:21.405 --> 0:03:23.965 connect with each other. And I do think we're drifting 0:03:24.005 --> 0:03:26.285 apart from each other. And the joy of doing radio 0:03:26.765 --> 0:03:29.685 is that it's real time connection and its authentic connection. 0:03:29.845 --> 0:03:31.765 So the book is really that I hope that you 0:03:31.885 --> 0:03:35.605 enjoy how to have better conversations and true deeper connection 0:03:35.725 --> 0:03:38.005 wherever you are on your lives. So that actually, I 0:03:38.005 --> 0:03:39.885 think for a lot of people, everyone knows how to speak, 0:03:39.885 --> 0:03:43.485 but there are certain situations where speaking becomes tricky and 0:03:43.525 --> 0:03:47.005 normally an old story you have about something somebody said 0:03:47.045 --> 0:03:49.605 to you once or something where you felt shame and 0:03:49.605 --> 0:03:51.725 you don't want to feel that again. I was coaching 0:03:51.765 --> 0:03:54.365 someone last year who just wanted to have the courage 0:03:54.405 --> 0:03:57.085 to ask a question on a team's meeting that was 0:03:57.125 --> 0:03:58.925 public speaking to her, it's hard these days, isn't it. 0:03:58.925 --> 0:04:00.765 Put your hand up and ask a question. You're frightened 0:04:00.805 --> 0:04:03.245 of looking forwarlish But it keeps us locked away, it 0:04:03.325 --> 0:04:06.205 keeps us imprisoned. We think it keeps us safe, which 0:04:06.245 --> 0:04:09.085 is why we develop all these different scripts and a mask. 0:04:09.165 --> 0:04:11.205 But at some moment, that mask in that script that 0:04:11.245 --> 0:04:13.165 cape us to kep you safe like it did for 0:04:13.245 --> 0:04:16.484 me for years, will actually imprison you. And so I 0:04:16.565 --> 0:04:19.444 made a decision to stop performing a version of myself 0:04:19.525 --> 0:04:22.285 mccaugh become more and more myself and the radio that's 0:04:22.284 --> 0:04:24.725 been the last eight or nine years, especially since I 0:04:24.844 --> 0:04:28.324 moved here. The great news about that is it involves 0:04:28.325 --> 0:04:30.804 a hell of a lot of effort, and actually you 0:04:30.885 --> 0:04:34.445 realize that true connection, the best conversations you've ever had 0:04:34.525 --> 0:04:36.885 with your family and friends and your partners, you will 0:04:36.924 --> 0:04:39.244 have left that conversation where it felt there were no 0:04:39.325 --> 0:04:42.645 calories spent. It's effortless, you said, I think, oh my god, 0:04:42.685 --> 0:04:44.964 have we really been talking for four hours? There was 0:04:45.005 --> 0:04:48.484 no striving, there's no performance. And so that's what that's 0:04:48.525 --> 0:04:50.885 what I've seen that in Patsy. I've seen that in Rio. 0:04:50.964 --> 0:04:53.204 Since I've been working with you guys and helping you guys, 0:04:53.284 --> 0:04:56.125 is where you were Patsy eight years ago and where 0:04:56.125 --> 0:04:58.324 you are now. It's been an incredible thing to witness 0:04:58.364 --> 0:05:00.724 as well as if you've become closer to yourself, and 0:05:00.765 --> 0:05:03.405 I ready producer Kitlin as well, where she was now 0:05:03.445 --> 0:05:05.404 and the bouncing ball of energy. She is running this 0:05:05.445 --> 0:05:07.485 team and running the show as well along with you. 0:05:07.885 --> 0:05:10.844 Are you both as well as your journey of becoming 0:05:10.924 --> 0:05:13.525 more yourself and shedding those masks. 0:05:13.804 --> 0:05:17.245 Absolutely, And I think that when you talk about when 0:05:17.284 --> 0:05:19.565 you're talking about you in the car, I think about 0:05:20.005 --> 0:05:21.685 a song that he'd home with me is a Ben 0:05:21.724 --> 0:05:22.205 Folds one? 0:05:22.205 --> 0:05:23.564 The best imitation of yourself? 0:05:23.645 --> 0:05:24.125 Yes, is that? 0:05:24.245 --> 0:05:25.485 And I remember hearing that and. 0:05:25.364 --> 0:05:27.964 Thinking about maybe three or four years ago, that is 0:05:28.085 --> 0:05:30.684 exactly the way I feel. And then yeah, like the 0:05:30.765 --> 0:05:33.204 last three or four years, just feeling like you don't 0:05:33.245 --> 0:05:35.765 have to put on an act or listen to those 0:05:35.844 --> 0:05:38.765 voices inside your head and just be yourself and that 0:05:38.765 --> 0:05:39.324 that's enough. 0:05:39.325 --> 0:05:41.404 Mate. I can't wait to read this book. I'm so 0:05:41.484 --> 0:05:41.885 proud of you. 0:05:41.964 --> 0:05:44.085 Will don't thank you. The book comes out in July. 0:05:44.164 --> 0:05:46.085 You might think, bloody el Christians April. Why are you 0:05:46.085 --> 0:05:48.164 talking about it now? It's out for pre order. If 0:05:48.164 --> 0:05:51.205 you're go on book Topia and Amazon, you'll find it there. 0:05:51.565 --> 0:05:53.445 The reason is is that I'm talking about you now, 0:05:53.525 --> 0:05:55.204 is that if you are going to get it, please 0:05:55.245 --> 0:05:58.164 do me favor buy it on pre order. The reason 0:05:58.245 --> 0:06:00.725 is is all the bookshops look at pre orders to 0:06:00.804 --> 0:06:03.445 decide whether or not they're going to stock copies of 0:06:03.484 --> 0:06:06.245 your book. And so right now someone were thinking, who 0:06:06.245 --> 0:06:08.484 the hell is this guy and he's going on the radio. 0:06:08.685 --> 0:06:10.245 I can't see them being a big demand for his 0:06:10.284 --> 0:06:13.245 life story about how to connect deep with people. They 0:06:13.325 --> 0:06:15.404 look at the pre orders. If there are good pre orders, 0:06:15.604 --> 0:06:17.445 the book's going to be more easy if you'd buy 0:06:17.484 --> 0:06:19.484 when it comes out. And I promise you I've put 0:06:19.565 --> 0:06:22.245 everything I know about connection that the book is full 0:06:22.245 --> 0:06:25.765 of stories of me basically screwing it up so that 0:06:25.804 --> 0:06:29.044 you don't have to. It's thirty years of stumbling at 0:06:29.044 --> 0:06:31.564 home and on air, many stories that you don't have 0:06:31.604 --> 0:06:34.525 to make, the horrible, messy mistakes that I've made as well. 0:06:34.724 --> 0:06:38.044 And on the messiness, there isn't a single perfect radio 0:06:38.125 --> 0:06:40.404 show I've ever done, and I don't ever want to 0:06:40.445 --> 0:06:42.644 try and do one. This show is all over the place, 0:06:43.325 --> 0:06:45.364 and I'm sure you agree it is the better for it, 0:06:45.445 --> 0:06:49.405 because actually the messiness is where the magic is. All 0:06:49.404 --> 0:06:51.685 the stories we get from listeners. The last hour of 0:06:51.685 --> 0:06:53.445 these stories about what you used to think posh was 0:06:53.924 --> 0:06:55.724 when you were a kid, it's that messiness that's what 0:06:55.844 --> 0:06:58.205 being a human is. And then the next couple of years, 0:06:58.205 --> 0:07:01.205 what's being a human? What's real and what isn't human? 0:07:01.245 --> 0:07:03.805 With AI, it's going to get harder and harder. So 0:07:03.844 --> 0:07:06.004 the real invitation is to double down on what being 0:07:06.005 --> 0:07:08.445 a human is. Being a human isn't about being per 0:07:08.885 --> 0:07:12.405 It's about being messy. It's that inner wido that we 0:07:12.525 --> 0:07:14.885 all have, and you will have a lot better life 0:07:15.045 --> 0:07:18.405 when you embrace your inner wido. That's what I should 0:07:18.405 --> 0:07:20.285 have called the book, but it's called in unscript. Now, 0:07:20.325 --> 0:07:21.965 if you go and pre order the book book Topia 0:07:22.125 --> 0:07:25.405 or Amazon, it really helps me out and as a 0:07:25.445 --> 0:07:27.765 favor and a thank you, the one thing I'm going 0:07:27.845 --> 0:07:28.965 to be doing is I'm going to be doing a 0:07:28.965 --> 0:07:30.684 whole load of these. These are going to be live 0:07:31.245 --> 0:07:33.645 YouTube shows that I'll only be going to be doing 0:07:33.685 --> 0:07:36.245 for my pre order pals. So if you pre order 0:07:36.285 --> 0:07:38.165 the book and you send me your receipt email it 0:07:38.205 --> 0:07:40.644 to me Christian at Christian O'Connor dot com dot au, 0:07:40.685 --> 0:07:44.405 you'll be invited to some very unique part book club 0:07:44.605 --> 0:07:47.365 part whatever it will be.

As I 0:10:16.005 --> 0:10:17.724 was driving home, I knew I was coming home to 0:10:17.765 --> 0:10:20.604 an empty house. My daughter was at school, my husband 0:10:20.965 --> 0:10:23.325 was at the office yesterday, so I had the whole 0:10:23.564 --> 0:10:26.485 house to myself, and I was rather tired, and I thought, 0:10:26.485 --> 0:10:28.325 you know what, it's going to be a perfect day 0:10:28.365 --> 0:10:31.245 for a little nanny nap, just a cheeky little nanna nap. 0:10:31.365 --> 0:10:33.005 No one will be in mind. 0:10:33.285 --> 0:10:35.484 How long do you get now? I set time enough 0:10:35.525 --> 0:10:37.045 for no more than half an hour. I used to 0:10:37.084 --> 0:10:39.205 do two hours, and that's dreadful. 0:10:39.564 --> 0:10:40.925 I do two hours. 0:10:41.165 --> 0:10:42.205 How do you fel afterwards? 0:10:42.245 --> 0:10:42.804 Fantastic? 0:10:42.885 --> 0:10:43.564 Do you all right? 0:10:43.605 --> 0:10:43.645 No? 0:10:43.684 --> 0:10:45.964 I used to feel just drained.

That's not my sleep, 0:10:53.084 --> 0:10:54.685 that's me recovering from the sleep. 0:10:55.245 --> 0:10:57.245 Two hours is a full, full sleep. 0:10:57.444 --> 0:10:59.125 Your body starts to go in a sort of shut 0:10:59.165 --> 0:11:00.725 down mode as well. I think sleep is. 0:11:00.725 --> 0:11:03.845 Coming yeah, that three to four hour I find the 0:11:03.885 --> 0:11:06.885 hardest these hours, isn't it. It's like kind of feels 0:11:06.885 --> 0:11:09.084 like five, like you're walking over broken. 0:11:08.845 --> 0:11:09.564 Glass or something. 0:11:09.605 --> 0:11:12.485 It is.

He goes, Oh, hi, 0:12:12.245 --> 0:12:14.724 I'm here to put your phone line in for the internet. 0:12:14.765 --> 0:12:15.605 Your husband called me. 0:12:15.925 --> 0:12:19.204 What someone you're instilled in the landline dial up patch 0:12:19.245 --> 0:12:20.445 has taken it to dial up. 0:12:20.525 --> 0:12:23.444 No, I just needed another point in Chris's office.
