Risking Failure

Death is the one thing we all have in common, and yet it is a subject we talk about (really talk about) so rarely. This week we explored this subject, shared a few experiences and reflected on the ways we deal with our own mortality. SHOW NOTES: During the episode, we referred to two different […]

Campbell Butterss talks about overcoming a struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, and how after numerous attempts he conquered it from the “Inside Out”. Today he’s building a brand helping share what he’s learned.

What is it that really defines a legacy? Is it a body of work, or a story we tell? Are there categories? Seriously… what do we mean when we say “legacy”?? That was the topic this week, and we explored a lot of different ideas around the topic.

Recently we compiled a collection of some fun we’ve had with this project so far. Some embarrassing stuff, some stupid stuff and of course some moments you may already recognize. Mostly where Dobbo is “Taking the Micky” out of… well, Mick.

Sharn McNeill was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) after almost a year of tests. The diagnosis bought her life to a screeching halt, and became the beginning of what has already been an incredible and inspiring journey. Within the last year, Sharn has gone from diagnosis to being awarded the Beacon of Courage […]

So how do we find our calling? Or is it even something to be found? This week we shared our own findings on consistencies and questions that have helped in our own journeys, and discussed a listener topic idea – “How can one know they’re in the right job? We certainly don’t claim to have […]

What do we do in the “small” moments? The “tough” moments? This week we talked about how we are positioning ourselves, and how that impacts the outcome of our relationships in all areas of life. Are we the person who is always trying to be right, strong, loving, challenging, understanding, supportive, demeaning, overpowering, second-guessing, devils […]

What assumptions do we have about work habits? I thought this photo was an intriguing one – Sometimes we should maybe stop and look at our lifestyles and do some experiments to test what dumb stuff we’ve put into pattern mode… Don’t get me wrong, we aren’t saying we have all the answers – but […]

Are we spending our time being busy or being productive? How many hours of “potent” work can we get in a week, and are we trying to prove something or respond to what we “should” be doing? That’s what we talked about this week, and we created some experiments to test some boundaries on how […]

We’ve all had those moments where something happens or we have an interaction with someone that paralyzes our thoughts, actions or minds. This week we talked about these experiences, and shared our own perspective. We honestly wrestled around with this one, and concluded that it’s much bigger than we imagined…

When we got back on the horn again this week, the topic of overwhelm was still at hand! Mick talked about how he’d now had the same week as Dobbo the week before… Overwhelm! But this time, we felt really good about the conclusions we drew from revisiting this subject and fleshing out some productive ideas […]

What do falling leaves and pool pumps have in common? Well this week, Dobbo was “under the pump” and offered up his fairly ordinary week as a platform to explore why he got to a point of feeling like too much was happening. We discussed what critical decisions were made (in hindsight) that pulled him […]

This week, the universe conspired to provide a message… Or did it? Are we sometimes being looked after? Or sometimes not being look after? This episode we get lofty talking about whether we should surrender to the universe, go with the flow or just maybe admit it’s all a bunch of self-talk… Seriously, sometimes we […]

On Christmas Eve of 2013, Danny English and a small group of dedicated friends around the globe did something that was probably the last thing on anyone’s mind. They ran an ultra-marathon to raise money for a village in the Philippines.  Listen in as Danny talks about how enough money was raised to send 185 […]

After new year resolutions and discussions of “change” and “terror” – this week we talk about what it takes to create some terror, and whether it’s the right kind… and if we’re ready for it. What’s the difference between creating change for the sake of change, or change for the sake of pride and achievement?

It’s 2014! Happy New Year! With the new year behind us, we talk about Resolutions and how they’ve become basically something we both avoid. With so much more media pushing us to feel like we should be doing something or being something, it’s hard not to feel like you’re going to find your full potential […]

Ever had that feeling of being stuck, like you’ve been traveling down a path and exhaustively trying to make changes and feel like there’s no options left? This can be a pretty intimidating feeling, and this week we discuss our own experiences with being stuck. As the fourth but final episode for 2013, we hope […]

In this episode, Dobbo talks about whether we’re even asking ourselves if we REALLY want what we’re aiming for in our goals, and how to tell if they are a product of pleasing someone else or someone else’s image of us. We recall how our thoughts on goal setting have changed over time, and do […]

“Authentic Success”… Really – We’re using that phrase? Isn’t it a bit of a bull#$%t phrase that suggests all kinds of inspirationally generic ideas about inching your way “to the top”? Well, that’s where this episode started – and it ended with a cup of tea, and the reality that we’re still all just trying […]

In this our first episode, we leave our human side on display (As Mick fails to speak or know what to say as the show kicks off!). We talk about failure, what it means and why it’s such a big topic, and most of all why we and so many people are afraid of it. […]
