The You Project

I’m gonna be honest, sometimes I feel like my ‘job’ isn’t really a job (as such). Intellectually, I know it is but emotionally and experientially, there’s just no sense of ‘work’ for me. Which makes me feel mostly happily, but occasionally guilty. In this episode, Melissa and I chat about the never-ending evolution of modern careers; jobs that literally didn’t exist not too long ago. Like Podcaster. Personal Trainer. Virtual (online) Corporate Speaker. Social Media Influencer. Life Coach. Web designer. YouTube Celebrity. We also talk about our ability to be able to adapt (as a group and as individuals) when we have to (finding a way). We chat about being resourceful, creative and finding the good in the bad. We discuss the quickest way to find perspective. Managing emotions. The good and bad of anger. Moments that can change the course of our lives and lots more.

After a revealing and refreshing conversation with Steve Willis last week, the opportunity for another quick chat came up, so I took it. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are some tough jobs but I can’t think of one that would take more of a mental, emotional and physical toll than that of crash scene investigator and reconstruction expert with Victoria Police’s Major Collision Investigation Group. Neither can I imagine what it would be like to attend more than 2,000 fatalities (including the deaths of 20 fellow police officers) and then in the middle of that devastation, overwhelm and trauma, to find a way to be calm, analytical and efficient. To establish what happened and why. To think clearly in the middle of the chaos and ‘do your job’. Well, former Detective Peter Bellion is that person and as you might imagine, it hasn’t been without its personal consequences. This was an eye-opener for me. Loved it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wendy Jenkins is a solution person. She has to be. In her mid-twenties, she was told she would be dead in two years, without a double-lung transplant. She was also told that new lungs might give her another five years (or so). Well, that was fourteen years and one transplant ago and despite living with sixty-two percent lung capacity, a shortened life-expectancy, perpetual shortness of breath, multiple issues with anxiety, depression, PTSD and a host of other medical challenges, Wendy is still laughing, learning and living and these days, she works with individuals, teams and organisations, helping them to help themselves. This was one of those perspective-giving chats. It was also funny and uplifting, especially the Viagra story. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aimee Stanton wasn’t a fan of school. She got suspended a few times. Or more. And expelled. One of her teachers predicted a career as a stripper and prostitute. Not one or the other, both. Well, that didn’t happen (of course) but she did become a plumber, a tiny house builder, an entrepreneur, a D.I.Y lady on the telly, an influencer (it’s a thing), a competitor on Australian Survivor, runner up on ‘House Rules’ and a passionate advocate for girls and women getting into the trades. Aimee is cheeky, fun and way smarter than her teachers might have imagined. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dinesh Palipana (OAM) is an Australian Doctor working in the Gold Coast University Hospital Emergency Department. He’s also a Lawyer, Disability Advocate, University Lecturer and is the first person with a spinal cord injury to graduate as a Doctor in Australia. He is the 2021 Queensland, Australian of the Year, is an advocate for medical students with disabilities and is heavily involved in research to help people like him walk again. This episode is the audio from a talk Dinesh recently gave to an audience in one of my programs. It is relatively laid-back and more of a thinking-out-loud (type) conversation than it is any kind of ‘presentation’. I loved it and so did the group. In my work, I get to meet lots of intelligent, gifted, dynamic and successful people (and I’m super grateful) but I rarely meet people who are as special and inspirational as this man. He literally makes me want to be a better person. Enjoy.@dinesh.palipanaLinkedInSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When I first heard the name ‘BrainPark’ (a few years ago), I visualised a kind-of Disneyland for Geeks and Brainiacs. In some ways, I was kind-of right. But more accurately, BrainPark is a world-first neuroscience research clinic (part of Monash University) dedicated to improving the physical, mental and brain health of Australians. It’s also where I’m doing my PhD. Now you understand the feeling of fraudulence. For this episode, I sat down with Dr. Rebecca Segrave (Deputy Director of BrainPark) and Professor Murat Yucel, who is a world-renowned Academic, Neuroscience Nerd, Director of BrainPark and sadly for him, senior supervisor for my PhD. If you love brain stuff, neuroscience stuff and mind stuff, this is for you. Enjoy.brainpark.com@BrainParkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
