Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Emma Leonard is an Australian actor, voice actor, improvisor, and all-round lovely human.  She's most famous internationally for her long-time role on Home and Away, the landmark Australian Soap Opera coming up to 30 years - and more recently for the huge drama hit 800 words.  She joined me to talk about Steiner Schools, how set is like school camp, and why there hasn't been a great Aussie multi-camera sitcom in nearly twenty years. Apologies about the audio quality on this one, since my Mac updated none of my Noise reduction plug ins work in ableton, and there's two construction sites next door. But hey, it adds to the authenticity. Follow @EmmalouLeonard and let her know you liked anything you hear! Enjoy this.  This episode is brought to you by The Iconic, who are offering my listeners 10% of full price styles over $99.

My guest today Mike Cotty is a legend in the worldwide cycling community for his marathon cycling efforts, having ridden astonishing feats of endurance - non stop rides across entire countries, and even continents - his longest being a 50hr and 29 minute non-stop epic 1,021km across the Dolomites, Eastern Alps and Swiss Alps. On this ride he conquered over 21,250m of brutal mountain climbing, or 2.4 “Everests”. However Mike is also a brilliant marketer, and he is now director of Media-24, a Cycling Media consultancy company here in Europe.  Throughout this conversation, Mike shares his story, and brings some insight to not only how he was able to achieve such astonishing goals of endurance, but how the limitations that we give ourselves are often just a label and way, way lower than what we can actually achieve.  If you dig this, follow Mike on twitter - @cottydale Hosted on Acast.

Jono Nicholas is the CEO of ReachOut.com, which was the first online mental health service in the world. He's been working there for over fifteen years, as you'll hear - back in a time when you would have to dial a phone number to get access to the internet. This week, Reach Out is launching a big campaign "There's life after year twelve" - which I'm sure is an internationally common issue - young adults feeling immense pressure to perform and that if their exams don't work out that their lives will be worthless.  So come with me to the inner-west of Sydney Australia for a conversation with internet pioneer, CEO, Psychologist, suicide counsellor, runner, dad and all around top bloke - Jono Nicholas.  This episode is brought to you by THE ICONIC who are offering my listeners 10% off full price styles with any purchase over $99.

Lindsay McDougall is one of Australia's icons of alternative culture. For nearly twenty years he's been the guitar player for the iconic Australian punk band Frenzal Rhomb, and for ten years was a radio announcer on the national youth radio network JJJ. Lindsay is never backward in coming forward about his thoughts on fairness - and in this conversation we discuss all kinds of expectations of fairness from race relations, to gender issues, climate issues and what it was like being a staunch lefty vegan who's dad was a member of the right-wing Australian Liberal party.  We met at Lindsay's home in Newton in Sydney, surrounded by more guitars, books and rock and roll memorabilia than I could possibly comprehend - for a cup of tea and a chat while the bustling of King St continued below. Ladies and gentlemen - Lindsay McDougall.  This episode is brought to you by THE ICONIC who are offering my listeners 10% off full price styles with any purchase over $99.

Dwayne Martens is the founder and CEO of Amazonia, an incredibly successful health food and supplement company that he started in a juice stall in the Fremantle markets - and is now worth eight figures. Dwayne is a brilliant CEO, a super successful manager, expert marketer and forward-thinking leader. His view on the place he and his company have in the market is unique. He's pioneering a conscious form of commerce that empowers people all the way down the supply chain, advocating and demonstrating different forms of agriculture outside of the monocultural harvesting we see now, and going his part to help people eat better, live better and in his words Shine Brighter.  But Dwayne's story is something that reads like a movie. From losing his home in South Africa due to unrest, to losing himself on the island of Ibiza, Dwayne had a crystal clear vision of where his life was headed - hit the brakes and began again on the path that's made him one of the youngest and most successful CEOs in the country. Oh, and he also lives in a Teepee.  So come to my kitchen in Bronte beach in Sydney for a conversation that will leave you absolutely inspired. It's also a conversation you'll need a piece of paper and a pen for at the end. I hope you enjoy this chat with Dwayne Martens.   Hosted on Acast.

So just skip forward about three minutes or so and you’ll come out fresh as a daisy on the other side.  Thank you for being here, and thank you for sharing this time of your day with me. I hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation with one of our country’s finest, Jane Kennedy. This episode is brought to you byhttp://theiconic.com.au/osher who are offering my listeners 10% off full price styles with any purchase over $99.
