Riding the Munda Biddi Trail for 60 hours straight (world record) with Jack ”Ultra-Cyclist” Thompson

In this weeks episode we are so stoked to be joined by another absolute freak of nature - Jack “Ultracyclist” Thompson, also referred to as “THE MOST EXTREME CYCLIST ON EARTH”
 
Jack pushes the boundary of what is humanly possible on a bike, exploring the limits of human physiology both physically and mentally. He now holds 7 Guinness World Records, has some of the fastest known times around the globe and is an active and passionate advocate for mental health disorders.
 
We got to talk about his most recent record-breaking achievement, the Munda Biddi Dreaming, where he rode the Munda Biddi trail (1067km) in just over 60 hours! In doing so, he and his team at Oqea did whatever it took to attain this record, whilst raising awareness for the Munda Biddi Trail Foundation, as well as the Happiness Co Foundation.

You Are What You Consume with Brayden & Tom

In today’s world of consumption, many of us look to fill our brain and body with what we desire and crave. Sure, everything’s good in moderation, but for the most part, is what you consume aligned with your future ideal self?
What we absorb ultimately shapes the person we become – “You are what you consume” and it is for this reason that we wanted to talk about the importance of being careful in what we are welcoming into our life.
Diet and consumption is more than just food, it’s also what you take in online, the people you hang around with, the music you listen to, what you read…etc.
And depending on what you want out of life or the change you want to make, you’re going to have to fuel that process accordingly, so be mindful of your consumption and ask questions like “is this serving me?“ as you have the choice to decide what shapes you.

Neurodiversity Educator & Advocator Felicity Rideout

In today’s episode Tom & Brayden become more switched onto the topic of Neurodiversity!
As it is still relatively a new topic in the clinical world, understandings around neurodiversity are becoming more widely acknowledged, however, we believe this is a topic that everyone of all ages should be more aware of so we can create more environments that are all inclusive and supportive for those who are diagnosed neurodivergent.
It is for this reason that we got the expert on neurodiversity, Felicity “Flic” Rideout in today to answer our questions, breakdown what neurodiversity is and educate us on how being more aware of the topic can benefit us all within schools, work, as well as the relationships with have with ourselves.
Felicity has a Psychology degree, is currently studying her Masters in Educational Neuroscience and has over 10 years experience working in the Mental Health field, so she is well rehearsed on the topic!
There’s plenty to gather from out chat and if you’re looking for more information please see the links below:

Regaining Sense of Identity & How To Be Well with Lily Gresele

Developing a sense of identity is hard enough as it is, and then when it's stripped away from you, what are you supposed to do? where are you supposed to go?
Our guest in this episode, Lily Gresele talks with us as to what's like to experience this first-hand and how she has been able to regain her sense of identity after moving on from her aspirations of making the 2020 Olympics in which she committed 8 strenuous years of training in gymnastics.
In this time since Lily has moved on, she has not only been able to empower herself, but also many people in the wider community as her own Mental Health & Wellness platform called "How To Be Well" works to start discussions as a way of continuing to chip away a the stigma of mental health!

Personal Development & Finding Your Way with Egan Brooks

In a world where we often get told where to go and what to do in life, this weeks guest Egan Brooks shares with us the importance of getting to know yourself, chasing what you’re truly passionate about, whilst continually learning and growing as an individual each day.
In a genuinely inspiring conversation, there’s plenty of takeaways that can be applied to a wide range of life’s contexts, so please take the time to listen to the boys and see what you can get out of the episode to possibly learn more about yourself!
This can be done in so many ways, and Egan particularly shares how he’s able to get the most out of himself by reflecting on where he’s come from, where he wants to go and how can he be more vulnerable as a way of building relationships with his mates and himself.

Ultra-Marathon Swimmer, 3x World Record Holder, plus so much more with Andy Donaldson

We are so pumped to be joined by a man that is an absolute freak of nature from the things that he’s been able to do as of late! We welcome Andy Donaldson, ultra-marathon swimmer, 3x world record holder, the 24th person ever to complete the Oceans 7 swim (for mental health might I add), Telethon athlete completing a 33km swim-run-swim, and is also an accounting and finance guru in his spare time.
I’m surprised this guy hasn’t grown gills yet because I honestly think he spends more time in the water than on land, but we got to have an awesome chat around some of his experiences that just go to show what the human body is truly capable of, and how we all can achieve more than what we think is possible!
If this doesn’t somehow motivate or inspire you to challenge yourself in some kind of way today then I honestly don’t know what will…
We excited to support his next challenge whatever it may be and you can too by checking out his socials here!
