Latest / The You Project / #1661 Why Aren't You More Like Me? - Dr. Cam McDonald
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm got to agree with this.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Welcome to another installment of you project. It's Fatty Harps.
- 0:04Speaker 2: It's Monday morning at seven point thirty seven. I've had
- 0:07Speaker 2: my caffeine. I'm fucking good to go. I'm fired. Dr
- 0:10Speaker 2: Cam McDonald from the Shay Group, who is an old
- 0:14Speaker 2: friend of the show and straight up smarty pants, joins me.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Hi, mate, how are you great?
- 0:19Speaker 3: Thanks Harp.
- 0:19Speaker 4: It's great to be back to man, it's been a
- 0:20Speaker 4: little while. It's lovely to see it.
- 0:23Speaker 1: It's been what do you do you reckon? It's been
- 0:26Speaker 1: a year or maybe more.
- 0:28Speaker 4: It could be it could be eight en months. I
- 0:31Speaker 4: think we were just starting. I think I just started
- 0:35Speaker 4: some of the pilot groups in the precision learning stuff
- 0:38Speaker 4: that we were doing when I was talking about some
- 0:41Speaker 4: learning differences between people last time.
- 0:43Speaker 2: I think now in the last eight ten months, we've
- 0:46Speaker 2: got a whole lot of new listeners and a more
- 0:50Speaker 2: expansive audience from all over the world and of course
- 0:53Speaker 2: primarily Australia. But tell everyone who you are and what
- 0:57Speaker 2: you do, and for those like some might have forgotten,
- 1:00Speaker 2: but some have never met you.
- 1:01Speaker 1: So give us the Cam story.
- 1:04Speaker 4: Yeah, so it started in Gunder Guy fast forward twelve years,
- 1:12Speaker 4: actually twenty years.
- 1:12Speaker 3: I'm in Sydney wanting to do a lot with sports.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Ended up doing exercise and Sports science because I thought
- 1:19Speaker 4: exercise and sports science is as close as I can
- 1:21Speaker 4: get to sports without being an a lead athlete. And
- 1:25Speaker 4: our third year had an incredible moment where an a
- 1:28Speaker 4: lecturer started telling me about how you can reverse diabetes
- 1:32Speaker 4: with exercise, and I just made this decision in my
- 1:35Speaker 4: mind that we needed to reverse diabetes immediately, and why
- 1:38Speaker 4: isn't everybody exercising all of the time.
- 1:40Speaker 3: This seems insane that we're not doing it.
- 1:43Speaker 4: And in my last term of my last semester of
- 1:48Speaker 4: my four year degree x FIZZ, I found out about nutrients.
- 1:54Speaker 4: It had been fairly exercise focused, and I said, geez,
- 1:57Speaker 4: I think I should know a little bit more about nutrients.
- 1:59Speaker 4: So applied for a dietetics Masters and got in at
- 2:02Speaker 4: Griffith up at the Goldie that worked in hospital. Realized
- 2:08Speaker 4: that I don't want to support people who have had
- 2:10Speaker 4: a heart attack.
- 2:10Speaker 3: I want to prevent them.
- 2:11Speaker 4: So I did my PhD in prevention of chronic disease
- 2:14Speaker 4: in individuals that have been through breast cancer treatment. So
- 2:16Speaker 4: we're looking at a Mega three and exercise in that.
- 2:19Speaker 4: And then I was working in private practice realized that
- 2:23Speaker 4: I was giving people in my research the same protocols
- 2:30Speaker 4: and I was seeing completely different responses, like some individuals
- 2:34Speaker 4: losing five kilos and they're just loving life, and then
- 2:39Speaker 4: another person's working much harder than them and gained a
- 2:43Speaker 4: kilo of fat and lost muscle in the same period
- 2:45Speaker 4: of time on exactly the same protocol.
- 2:47Speaker 3: And I was seeing that in private practice as well,
- 2:49Speaker 3: and that started a.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Journey that sort of took me, like took me through
- 2:54Speaker 4: my PhD, but it was too late to adjust my study.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I've now been in the space of precision health and
- 3:00Speaker 4: medicine for the last eleven years, ten years, and what
- 3:05Speaker 4: I do now is I educate health professionals, I educate corporates, schools, gyms,
- 3:11Speaker 4: pretty much anybody who will listen for at least five
- 3:13Speaker 4: minutes on how we're different. So how we are genetically different,
- 3:18Speaker 4: biologically different, finotypically different. That is the expression of our
- 3:21Speaker 4: genes and if we can measure that, And this is
- 3:24Speaker 4: what we've been doing for the last twenty years as
- 3:25Speaker 4: an organization at Shay Group.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Is what makes you.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Different and how can we quantify that so that we
- 3:31Speaker 4: can provide the best possible thing for you in that moment,
- 3:37Speaker 4: because your requirements are always changing as well, and so
- 3:40Speaker 4: it's morphed from any journey of oh, you got to
- 3:42Speaker 4: eat more spinach and you've.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Got to lift that weight to what is it to be.
- 3:48Speaker 4: A human on the planet? Like, what are all of
- 3:50Speaker 4: these signals that are coming into our body? How do
- 3:52Speaker 4: we interpret them with our mind, with our body? What
- 3:54Speaker 4: makes life incredible? And the answer is ultimately getting back
- 3:58Speaker 4: to yourself. If you unders down yourself and if you
- 4:00Speaker 4: can then contribute to others, then you're under a winner.
- 4:03Speaker 4: So all of the work is about elevating people's awareness
- 4:07Speaker 4: around themselves, how they can contribute, how they can be
- 4:09Speaker 4: the healthiest self, regressing disease as a whole lot of
- 4:12Speaker 4: research going on at the same time.
- 4:13Speaker 3: So that's a brief summary.
- 4:16Speaker 2: We have a guy another guy on who's almost as brilliant. Know,
- 4:19Speaker 2: he's just as brilliant as you. I'll say you same
- 4:21Speaker 2: the same, doctor Bill Sullivan from the States, and he's
- 4:25Speaker 2: a researcher and also brilliant. We were talking the other
- 4:28Speaker 2: day about essentially, you know, something works for everybody but
- 4:33Speaker 2: not everything works for everybody, So you've got to find
- 4:35Speaker 2: you something, you know what I mean.
- 4:37Speaker 1: And it's like, especially on the fucking interwebs.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Cam you're probably not familiar with the into webs, but
- 4:44Speaker 2: there's this thing called social media. And if you pay
- 4:47Speaker 2: attention to social media every second, fucker's got some product
- 4:51Speaker 2: that's going to fix everyone, some single product that's going
- 4:55Speaker 2: to universally fix every ailment known to person kind. And
- 5:01Speaker 2: like it's so it's like when even when people say
- 5:04Speaker 2: to me, from an excise physiology point of view, what's
- 5:07Speaker 2: the best way to you know, fill in the blank,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and I go, well, for who? Because the best way
- 5:14Speaker 2: to achieve, you know, to put on muscle for you
- 5:17Speaker 2: won't be the same as me, won't be the same
- 5:18Speaker 2: as that lady over there or that guy over there
- 5:20Speaker 2: or and and you know, and even then you go, well,
- 5:24Speaker 2: even if we get say that the strength training stuff right,
- 5:27Speaker 2: or the muscle building stuff right from a lifting point
- 5:31Speaker 2: of view, then there's all the other variables, the genetics,
- 5:33Speaker 2: the sleep, the nutrition, the stress, the anxiety, that there's
- 5:37Speaker 2: all of the other variables which impact recovery and hypertrophy.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And like people keept like you, and I don't want
- 5:45Speaker 2: to overcomplicate it because then we just alienate people. But
- 5:50Speaker 2: at the same time, this kind of group think that
- 5:54Speaker 2: happens on the internet, which is or here's here's a
- 5:58Speaker 2: thing that will create that outcome for you, it just
- 6:02Speaker 2: ain't true.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Is it?
- 6:04Speaker 4: Well exactly, and I mean to your point, if you
- 6:08Speaker 4: watch social media very very closely, you end up on
- 6:10Speaker 4: a high fat, low fat, high protein, high carb low
- 6:14Speaker 4: carb diet that involves hit training and strength training in
- 6:18Speaker 4: the same session and endless endurance but no endurance. It's
- 6:23Speaker 4: and then, as you were saying, it's what's been so
- 6:27Speaker 4: fascinating and probably going back to our first ever podcast,
- 6:30Speaker 4: we're talking about chronobiology. Even the timing of when you
- 6:32Speaker 4: do these activities can actually be the difference between if
- 6:34Speaker 4: you get a result and if you don't. And then
- 6:37Speaker 4: the mental stress that plays down into your body and
- 6:41Speaker 4: influences your results as well. And everybody has a different
- 6:44Speaker 4: thing that's going to stress the mentally. So just this
- 6:46Speaker 4: idea that you've got to find exactly your something. It
- 6:49Speaker 4: is incredibly complex, and there is a really really simple path,
- 6:54Speaker 4: and that is go and meditate.
- 6:56Speaker 3: On a mountain for three years and you'll find yourself.
- 7:00Speaker 4: And this is this is where we're trying to essentially,
- 7:02Speaker 4: is what modern medicine is trying to do. It's trying
- 7:04Speaker 4: to shorten the path back to you. But we lost
- 7:07Speaker 4: our way with just trying to look at one chemical
- 7:09Speaker 4: and one product and one pathway and one drug. It's
- 7:14Speaker 4: you've got to look at the whole system and how
- 7:16Speaker 4: that's interacting together.
- 7:17Speaker 3: And that's where the complex it is.
- 7:18Speaker 4: But that's also where you know, we have an inner
- 7:22Speaker 4: intelligence that allows us to get there too. It just
- 7:25Speaker 4: it can be assisted by a lot of these new
- 7:28Speaker 4: things that I'm fortunate to work with these days.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. Before we jumped on the show,
- 7:34Speaker 2: I said, what have you been up to? And you
- 7:37Speaker 2: told me a few things. I said, let's talk about
- 7:39Speaker 2: that because I think people will be interested. So just
- 7:44Speaker 2: repeat for my group what you're telling me that you've
- 7:47Speaker 2: been kind of opening the door on recently, and let's
- 7:49Speaker 2: have a chat.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Yeah, going back a bit to the piece around like,
- 7:53Speaker 4: oh no, I was a dietitian. Everything in my focus
- 7:57Speaker 4: was I've just got to get this person to eat
- 7:58Speaker 4: the right food, and I would essentially assess them as
- 8:01Speaker 4: a person and I would get them to assess themselves
- 8:04Speaker 4: as a person based on am I putting the right
- 8:06Speaker 4: vegetable into my mouth?
- 8:07Speaker 1: Yes?
- 8:08Speaker 4: And what I've what's been so clear and I guess
- 8:12Speaker 4: in my own personal development, but also just watching how
- 8:16Speaker 4: people interact with health at a much bigger scale and
- 8:19Speaker 4: what I always wonder one the I've been so fascinated
- 8:24Speaker 4: by what truly makes a person happy because it's not
- 8:28Speaker 4: your weight, it's not your food, it's not your exercise,
- 8:31Speaker 4: it's not your relationships, it's not the place you live.
- 8:33Speaker 4: But it's a combination of all of those things, and
- 8:35Speaker 4: then who you are in it too. And when you
- 8:38Speaker 4: start looking at some of the research around someone having purpose,
- 8:41Speaker 4: you know, there's every philosophy from ancient to modern has
- 8:45Speaker 4: some sort of you've got to have a purpose. Then
- 8:48Speaker 4: there's also this whole thing around love and relationships and
- 8:52Speaker 4: the importance of community and connection and how important that
- 8:55Speaker 4: is for survival. Whether it be in nursing homes or
- 8:57Speaker 4: blue zones, it's all the same. You need connection to
- 9:01Speaker 4: be to feel like you're living and to have a
- 9:04Speaker 4: meaningful life. And then there's also the idea of flow,
- 9:08Speaker 4: which is this I guess in a way a fancy.
- 9:11Speaker 3: It's not a buzzword, but it is. It's a real
- 9:14Speaker 3: physiological state.
- 9:15Speaker 4: Of doing the thing in your strength and feeling like
- 9:19Speaker 4: the world has just disappeared and the only thing that
- 9:21Speaker 4: exists is this front thing in front of you right now,
- 9:24Speaker 4: with a transcendence of time and all a euphoric state
- 9:28Speaker 4: of productivity and contribution. So what was so fascinating about
- 9:32Speaker 4: all of those things is in each of those things
- 9:35Speaker 4: you feel like you are completely alive. Like when you love,
- 9:37Speaker 4: you feel like you're completely alive. When you're living on
- 9:39Speaker 4: purpose and you have a really clear purpose, you feel
- 9:41Speaker 4: like you're alive when you are in flow.
- 9:44Speaker 3: It's a holy crap.
- 9:45Speaker 4: That felt so good, And it's sort of come to
- 9:49Speaker 4: the point of thinking, why are we not chasing this
- 9:53Speaker 4: feeling all of the time? You know, and how much
- 9:56Speaker 4: of our education is actually about purpose, how much of
- 9:59Speaker 4: it is about connecting with a person incredibly deeply, how
- 10:03Speaker 4: much of it is about, Hey, what's the what are
- 10:06Speaker 4: your natural strengths and what's the best way that we
- 10:07Speaker 4: can bring them to life with what you can do
- 10:09Speaker 4: and mastery and get you into flow so that you
- 10:12Speaker 4: are absolutely flowing.
- 10:13Speaker 3: We compromise.
- 10:15Speaker 4: We as a society, we don't focus on the things
- 10:20Speaker 4: that truly make us happy. And what gets me excited
- 10:22Speaker 4: from a physiological standpoint, being the slight science nerd that
- 10:25Speaker 4: I am, is that the physiological signature, so the chemicals
- 10:30Speaker 4: that release and the system, the blood pressure and all
- 10:33Speaker 4: of those blood sugar levels and Quarterisle levels. Whenever you
- 10:36Speaker 4: look at each of those states purpose, flow, and love,
- 10:40Speaker 4: they have almost identical signatures except for the one individual
- 10:47Speaker 4: kind of chemical that they speak to that represents that
- 10:51Speaker 4: thing I want, which we can get into, I'm sure,
- 10:53Speaker 4: and the I guess it's It's sort of helped me
- 10:57Speaker 4: come to a point where I'm thinking, well, if we're
- 11:00Speaker 4: going to be talking about anything, why wouldn't we be
- 11:03Speaker 4: talking about I'm talking about just in general, Why wouldn't
- 11:05Speaker 4: we be talking about what actually truly brings you happiness?
- 11:08Speaker 4: Because as a dietician, the best meal plan didn't really
- 11:12Speaker 4: bring someone happiness.
- 11:13Speaker 3: It was. It's a much greater thing than that.
- 11:16Speaker 4: But what's so fascinating about it is to get into
- 11:18Speaker 4: that physiological state is actually different for everybody as well.
- 11:21Speaker 3: What love is to one person is very different to
- 11:23Speaker 3: another person. What flow is it etc.
- 11:25Speaker 4: So that was the preamble, probably longer than what you planned, mate,
- 11:29Speaker 4: but that's the preamble to my thought process.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I love it.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I love it well, all of those things I wrote
- 11:35Speaker 2: them down. Happiness, purpose, love, connection, flow. Yeah, they're intertwined,
- 11:39Speaker 2: and like what I find interesting ause you come. I mean, obviously,
- 11:43Speaker 2: originally I came from an exercise science space, but the
- 11:47Speaker 2: last while more I think about the head stuff, the
- 11:50Speaker 2: psychology of it all. When I'm talking to someone about happiness.
- 11:54Speaker 2: You know, we've got right now, thousands of people will
- 11:57Speaker 2: listen to this and even the word happiness, Like you
- 12:02Speaker 2: think about a word, and so what the state that
- 12:07Speaker 2: I might be in or the feeling that I might
- 12:09Speaker 2: have Craig Harper and I attach that label. I mean,
- 12:13Speaker 2: it's just a word that we use to describe a
- 12:18Speaker 2: state's psychological, emotional, physiological, you know. And for me, I
- 12:22Speaker 2: have this feeling or this sensation that I'm in and
- 12:25Speaker 2: I call that happiness or I call that contentment, or
- 12:31Speaker 2: I call that joy, or I call that calm. Now,
- 12:36Speaker 2: you and I unlikely, but let's say in some alternate
- 12:39Speaker 2: universe we're in the exact same state, but we each
- 12:43Speaker 2: have a different label for it. Yeah, because there's that,
- 12:48Speaker 2: you know, that cognitive, educational, philosophical window through which we
- 12:54Speaker 2: analyze and interpret shit and I go, oh, I'm happy,
- 12:57Speaker 2: and you go, yeah, I'm just joyful or so there's that,
- 13:00Speaker 2: there's that other other than all the physiological individuality, there's
- 13:05Speaker 2: that cognitive, emotional, psychological perception stuff. That's that that's interwoven
- 13:12Speaker 2: in all.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Of this, right, absolutely, and it's absolutely and it's and
- 13:19Speaker 4: as you were saying so many of those things, it's
- 13:22Speaker 4: what we've found is that there's the like the genetic
- 13:25Speaker 4: differences that we have, the biological differences that we have
- 13:29Speaker 4: can determine you know, someone running up a hill and
- 13:32Speaker 4: about to vomit is euphoria for one person because their
- 13:36Speaker 4: brain is so geared towards that pain. And I know
- 13:38Speaker 4: that's a little bit different to what you're saying, but
- 13:40Speaker 4: I'll come background on it. Whereas another person it is
- 13:43Speaker 4: the worst possible experience of their life to be almost vomiting,
- 13:46Speaker 4: running up a hill, trying to do exercise. It just
- 13:48Speaker 4: feels like the world is collapsing on them. At the
- 13:51Speaker 4: same time, you have two people that are you know,
- 13:55Speaker 4: sitting down on their birthdays surrounded by their friends feeling
- 13:59Speaker 4: lots of love, and in the expression of that as well,
- 14:04Speaker 4: someone just get One person gets really really excited and
- 14:08Speaker 4: wants to explode and shout and sing, and another person
- 14:10Speaker 4: wants to is completely exhausted by all of that attention
- 14:14Speaker 4: and connection and need to have a two hour break
- 14:17Speaker 4: away from everybody because it's actually so expensive for their
- 14:20Speaker 4: energy as well. So it's yeah, these are the It's
- 14:25Speaker 4: the beautiful thing is that our experience is so different
- 14:27Speaker 4: and probably talking to many different people, like primarily health professionals,
- 14:32Speaker 4: corporate schools, there is the first assumption that everybody is
- 14:37Speaker 4: different to you is something that is so hard to
- 14:40Speaker 4: get your head around, and it's to truly sit in
- 14:44Speaker 4: empathy and to really understand what somebody is feeling. It
- 14:48Speaker 4: takes an incredible amount of self awareness and mindfulness. It's
- 14:52Speaker 4: the assumption that other people think the way that we do,
- 14:56Speaker 4: and therefore the disconnection that we have with them as
- 14:59Speaker 4: a result is it's so big and the it's even
- 15:05Speaker 4: in this space for so long, understanding what.
- 15:08Speaker 3: It's like to be in somebody else's feeling is.
- 15:13Speaker 4: It's it's it takes a long time, and it's taken
- 15:16Speaker 4: me a long time to even get a whisper of
- 15:18Speaker 4: it in a real way that you know.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Thinking that people think like us. There's a name for that.
- 15:23Speaker 2: It's called the false consensus effect, you know, where we
- 15:27Speaker 2: automatically assume that because we speak the same language and
- 15:32Speaker 2: you and me are both blokes and we're both into that.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Whatever I might assume like, I wouldn't because I'm this
- 15:40Speaker 2: is my area of research, but I typically typical people,
- 15:43Speaker 2: which is not bad, of course, It's just the human experience.
- 15:47Speaker 2: We think that others think like us, and so therefore
- 15:50Speaker 2: we get surprised when, for example, our intention is not
- 15:54Speaker 2: their experience. Yes, it's like, oh, I was just giving
- 15:58Speaker 2: I was just helping Cam.
- 16:00Speaker 1: That was my intention.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Cam's experience was why the fuck is this guy always
- 16:04Speaker 2: give me feedback I haven't asked for? Or why is
- 16:07Speaker 2: this guy interfering? You know, there's that real disconnect between
- 16:12Speaker 2: what I think I'm putting out into the world, whether
- 16:15Speaker 2: that's an individual or a million people on a podcast,
- 16:20Speaker 2: what I think I'm putting out and what the individuals
- 16:23Speaker 2: are receiving. And not only just to add another layer
- 16:26Speaker 2: of complexity and curiosity, is that everyone that's listening is
- 16:30Speaker 2: getting something different.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Absolutely that idea as well is so.
- 16:37Speaker 4: I have an incredible amount of compassion for it because
- 16:39Speaker 4: I'm still in it in many ways, like I still
- 16:41Speaker 4: have the default thought with my ten year old child
- 16:45Speaker 4: that they're going to pick up what I'm putting down,
- 16:47Speaker 4: like I'm saying no because I love you, and they
- 16:49Speaker 4: are saying I definitely hate you right now, and that's
- 16:54Speaker 4: not my intention. And I used to rest on that
- 16:58Speaker 4: a lot, you know, even speaking personally, like, well, my
- 17:00Speaker 4: intention is good, so everything will work out.
- 17:02Speaker 3: But it's just not the case.
- 17:04Speaker 4: You just don't know what a person's history is and
- 17:06Speaker 4: what they've experienced and how they've interpreted what you've said.
- 17:08Speaker 4: And that's probably one of the more fascinating things that
- 17:12Speaker 4: has really dawned on some of the reading that I've
- 17:16Speaker 4: been doing in preparation for talks and things like that,
- 17:20Speaker 4: just around this idea of purpose, and in the Western world,
- 17:24Speaker 4: it is purpose is what am I going to do?
- 17:27Speaker 4: What am I here for? What's my goal in life?
- 17:30Speaker 4: What's going to mean that my life is meaningful? And
- 17:33Speaker 4: what's so fascinating when you go back through the Eastern
- 17:35Speaker 4: philosophies of purpose, which which speaks to what we're talking
- 17:38Speaker 4: about here, and that is their philosophy on purpose is
- 17:43Speaker 4: what is my role in the community, What are the
- 17:46Speaker 4: things that I'm great at? And how can I contribute
- 17:49Speaker 4: those things to the community. And from that frame, it
- 17:53Speaker 4: is so different. And when you think about your intention,
- 17:55Speaker 4: it's well, your intention doesn't matter in that context. What
- 17:58Speaker 4: matters is what am I here in the community for?
- 18:02Speaker 4: And yes, that has been that. It was a particularly
- 18:06Speaker 4: powerful moment for me to read that to actually it
- 18:09Speaker 4: completely changed so much of my thinking about what my
- 18:12Speaker 4: purpose is and where my focus is. And I was
- 18:14Speaker 4: wondering why I was feeling so unsatisfied for a couple
- 18:18Speaker 4: of years focusing on a purpose that was just mine
- 18:20Speaker 4: rather than thinking about the role that I'm here to
- 18:23Speaker 4: play in the various people in my life and the
- 18:25Speaker 4: people that I connect with. And in that way, if
- 18:29Speaker 4: we're thinking about purpose in that perspective, it starts helping
- 18:35Speaker 4: us navigate this idea of intention and what's received.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. So there's a framework that there's
- 18:43Speaker 2: very similar things around. I kind of expanded on a
- 18:46Speaker 2: version of it which I'm doing a Monday night mentoring group,
- 18:49Speaker 2: and we went through it not last week, the week
- 18:51Speaker 2: before shout out to my mentees.
- 18:54Speaker 1: And it's kind of this. It's almost.
- 19:00Speaker 2: An exercise in trying to understand yourself, right, and it
- 19:04Speaker 2: starts with self reflection, no judgment, just fucking.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Oh why did I do that? What's that about? Or
- 19:12Speaker 1: why am I? Oh? Right now I'm trying to impress cam.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Oh what's that about? You know? Just awareness? Right, but
- 19:19Speaker 1: where's that coming from?
- 19:21Speaker 2: Or just reflection and then the awareness, oh, this is
- 19:23Speaker 2: what I'm doing this, and then it goes through self
- 19:26Speaker 2: knowledge and then the last two you'll like, So there's
- 19:29Speaker 2: eight steps. You don't need me to send it to you,
- 19:31Speaker 2: but I'm happy to send it to you because it
- 19:32Speaker 2: fits in with your stuff, right. The second last one
- 19:35Speaker 2: is self actualization, which is you becoming kind of the
- 19:39Speaker 2: best version of you and you starting to fulfill your
- 19:42Speaker 2: potential and tick the boxes and reach goals and all
- 19:46Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But the last one is self transcendence. Yes,
- 19:50Speaker 2: it's is about you having a purpose and an awareness
- 19:52Speaker 2: and a reason bigger than you. Yes, And this is
- 19:55Speaker 2: where the fucking great stuff happens, you know, because we're
- 19:59Speaker 2: so much in our culture, very much about self actualization.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Me me, me me, I want to be the best me.
- 20:05Speaker 1: I want to be this me. I want to be
- 20:06Speaker 1: that me.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I want to reach my goals. I want to fulfill
- 20:09Speaker 2: my potential. That's cool, that's cool. But the next one
- 20:13Speaker 2: is like, I want to be all that. I want
- 20:15Speaker 2: to serve and I want to you know, I want
- 20:19Speaker 2: to have a purpose and an awareness and a reason,
- 20:21Speaker 2: like I said, bigger than the self that sits in
- 20:24Speaker 2: the middle of my life.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 4: Absolutely, And so just picking up on a few of
- 20:29Speaker 4: those points the self awareness piece. This is what's so
- 20:31Speaker 4: fascinating about the personalization thing in that if you compare
- 20:37Speaker 4: yourself to like, let's say that you're both going through
- 20:39Speaker 4: the same emotion, like we were talking about before, and
- 20:42Speaker 4: you compare yourself to, Oh why am I feeling that way?
- 20:45Speaker 3: The answer is so different for each of us. And
- 20:48Speaker 3: some individuals are.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Naturally fiery, they're naturally competitive, they're naturally direct, they're naturally
- 20:56Speaker 4: just say first and think later. And compared to somebody else,
- 21:01Speaker 4: like they might be in a partnership with somebody who's
- 21:03Speaker 4: incredibly calm, considerate, they like to take time on their thoughts.
- 21:08Speaker 4: They only say what they truly mean. And when you've
- 21:11Speaker 4: got those two people in a room and they're trying
- 21:14Speaker 4: to understand each other, and they're coming from both of
- 21:16Speaker 4: their frames of reference. One person saying, why an't you
- 21:19Speaker 4: just more energized, Why don't you just to have a go,
- 21:20Speaker 4: Why don't you just take a chance, And the other
- 21:22Speaker 4: person's thinking, you waste so much energy, you know, you know,
- 21:26Speaker 4: doing all of these things and trying lots of new
- 21:28Speaker 4: things and not sticking to one thing and whatever it
- 21:30Speaker 4: might be, and just you can end up thinking what's
- 21:34Speaker 4: wrong with me? And I see this with food as well.
- 21:37Speaker 4: You know, some individuals are doing their five meals per
- 21:39Speaker 4: day paleo diets and getting to boot camps in the morning,
- 21:42Speaker 4: and then they put on three kilos and getting the injury,
- 21:46Speaker 4: and then all I have to do is actually do
- 21:48Speaker 4: a completely different protocol of food, which is, you know,
- 21:51Speaker 4: three meals a day and wait training in the afternoon
- 21:53Speaker 4: and slow cardio in the morning, and all of their
- 21:55Speaker 4: dreams come true health wise. When it comes to that
- 21:58Speaker 4: self awareness piece, we aren't educated in truly understanding all
- 22:03Speaker 4: of the different factors to us because and that's just
- 22:06Speaker 4: the biological piece, is that we are genuinely physically different.
- 22:10Speaker 4: And then it infiltrates how we then interpret ourselves, whether
- 22:15Speaker 4: we judge ourselves, whether we accept ourselves. And so when
- 22:20Speaker 4: it comes to that concept for me of self actualization
- 22:25Speaker 4: and self transcendence, it's not about being great like your
- 22:32Speaker 4: hero or whatever it might be. It's actually about really
- 22:36Speaker 4: really knowing your strengths, really knowing the things that provide
- 22:40Speaker 4: you energy, knowing the things that make your body feel best.
- 22:44Speaker 4: It's doing all of those things routinely and then and
- 22:48Speaker 4: then understanding how you can bring your gifts but also
- 22:53Speaker 4: recognizing somebody else's gifts at the same time. And this
- 22:57Speaker 4: is where you get that beautiful combination of purpose and
- 23:01Speaker 4: connection all happening at the same time.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Truly, we have the the.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Mechanics, the intellect, and the knowledge to truly have an
- 23:13Speaker 4: incredibly blissful existence on this planet, and we create so
- 23:16Speaker 4: much noise as we are lost in all of a
- 23:21Speaker 4: lack of self awareness, a lack of self acceptance at
- 23:24Speaker 4: a core level.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Yeah, so good, dude, I like it.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I'm always interested in the conversation around identity in relation
- 23:35Speaker 2: to what we're talking about, because that who am I?
- 23:39Speaker 2: That's you know, the self that like, what the fuck
- 23:42Speaker 2: am I about? What's my reason, what's my purpose? Who
- 23:44Speaker 2: am I? But in our I'm generalizing here, so listener,
- 23:49Speaker 2: this might not be you. But for a lot of people,
- 23:51Speaker 2: their identity is.
- 23:52Speaker 1: About their stuff.
- 23:55Speaker 2: It's about their body, it's about their brand, it's about
- 23:57Speaker 2: their balance, about their job, about their reputation, it's about
- 24:02Speaker 2: their fucking the number of podcast listeners.
- 24:05Speaker 1: What are you saying, harps nothing? Fuck off?
- 24:07Speaker 2: You know, it's about all of that stuff that other
- 24:10Speaker 2: people can see. I get my sense of self, or
- 24:13Speaker 2: I get my identity from knowing that I'm right by
- 24:16Speaker 2: the way, I'm in the One True Church.
- 24:17Speaker 1: We're going to heaven. You're not. You know, I'm in
- 24:20Speaker 1: the light, you're in the darkness.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Blah blah, all that kind of all of that external
- 24:25Speaker 2: stuff of trying to understand the self, and then one
- 24:28Speaker 2: day you find out that something that you believed is bullshit,
- 24:33Speaker 2: something that your identity was intertwined with, and then you're
- 24:37Speaker 2: fucked because you go, well, shit, if that's not true,
- 24:40Speaker 2: then who am I? Because that's been part of you know,
- 24:45Speaker 2: my existence and my purpose and myself.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, and yes, And that's a it's a mismatch
- 24:55Speaker 4: of what identity is and what my immediate purpose, it's
- 25:01Speaker 4: describing the identity as a being in it's who you
- 25:05Speaker 4: are as opposed to what you do. But then the
- 25:08Speaker 4: purpose it is the personification or that the action related
- 25:12Speaker 4: to that, and probably the thing that came up for
- 25:14Speaker 4: me and I guess I'm just turning some things over
- 25:16Speaker 4: my mind as we talk. Here was the transition from
- 25:22Speaker 4: working professional partner into mum and the identity crisis that
- 25:29Speaker 4: happens at that point because we mix up the idea that.
- 25:35Speaker 3: What we're doing is our identity and at the core
- 25:40Speaker 3: of things.
- 25:41Speaker 4: And this is what we see genetically, is that people
- 25:43Speaker 4: become more like their.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Genes as they age. So the longer that.
- 25:48Speaker 4: You're on the planet, the more predictable your personality is
- 25:51Speaker 4: compared to your genetics. So it's like our whole life,
- 25:54Speaker 4: we are discovering our genetic makeup. And an example of
- 25:57Speaker 4: that is, let's say that you've got some testoster and sensitivity.
- 26:01Speaker 3: You will know that you're more competitive than other people.
- 26:03Speaker 4: You'll know that you're more aggressive, You'll know that you're
- 26:05Speaker 4: more direct, and that's a genetic marker that creates a
- 26:10Speaker 4: receptor that influences the way that your body responds to things,
- 26:13Speaker 4: and that's there, and you discover that and become more
- 26:18Speaker 4: comfortable with it over time, and you get criticized for it,
- 26:20Speaker 4: and then you question yourself and you get very confused
- 26:23Speaker 4: about who you are and then you realize And probably
- 26:25Speaker 4: one of the other things as well that you see
- 26:27Speaker 4: is people when they start to interpret and get the
- 26:32Speaker 4: information on oh, this is my makeup, this is this
- 26:35Speaker 4: is my natural biological self. The things that they thought
- 26:39Speaker 4: they were they now know that they are. And there's
- 26:41Speaker 4: a huge sense of grounded relief that comes along with
- 26:45Speaker 4: the sense of knowing rather than an inkling and questioning
- 26:49Speaker 4: as to oh.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Should I be like that? Do I like waking up later?
- 26:53Speaker 3: You know?
- 26:54Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I get up early, but do
- 26:55Speaker 4: I really know? Actually, I just love waking up later.
- 26:58Speaker 4: I love being more relaxed in the morning. Like that's
- 27:02Speaker 4: who I am. I am a thinker, or I do
- 27:06Speaker 4: act impulsively, whatever it may be. So I've definitely lost
- 27:12Speaker 4: the train of thought of, well, that's her identity and purpose.
- 27:14Speaker 4: And so when we're looking at identity, even at children,
- 27:19Speaker 4: like the level of children, is that this biology and
- 27:21Speaker 4: these responses e genetic influencers are actually playing out but
- 27:25Speaker 4: what we see is that kids represent about their personality
- 27:30Speaker 4: is fifteen percent genetics when they're younger, and that's because
- 27:33Speaker 4: they are constantly monitoring the environment to say, how do
- 27:36Speaker 4: I fit in? How do I survive? And what we're
- 27:38Speaker 4: doing right now is we're helping children understand, hey, this
- 27:42Speaker 4: is your makeup right here, and you can do some
- 27:45Speaker 4: incredible things with that. And that child over there, they've
- 27:48Speaker 4: got a different makeup too, and they're going to do
- 27:50Speaker 4: some incredible things with that too. The more sure you
- 27:53Speaker 4: are of yourself earlier on, in an accepting, an encouraged,
- 27:57Speaker 4: and a celebrated way, stress that you'll be under because
- 28:01Speaker 4: when you feel like you are yourself, when you're and
- 28:05Speaker 4: this is where you're in your strength, and this is
- 28:07Speaker 4: essentially flow. You get this incredible release of nora adrenaline
- 28:13Speaker 4: and don't meant to make you alert. You also get
- 28:15Speaker 4: more serotone to make you calm. You also get low
- 28:19Speaker 4: cortisol and a better heart rhythm that indicates lower stress.
- 28:23Speaker 4: So you're calm and attentive and focused, and that's where
- 28:26Speaker 4: great stuff happens. That's where flow happens. If you add
- 28:29Speaker 4: in an andamide, which is the cannabinoid sort of reward hormone,
- 28:33Speaker 4: then it's flow. If you add in oxytocin and it's
- 28:36Speaker 4: happening with somebody else, then it's love. And the for
- 28:42Speaker 4: a person to sit in their strengths and be competitive
- 28:44Speaker 4: because they're competitive and direct, and then somebody else to say,
- 28:47Speaker 4: geez I love your competition, geez I love your directness.
- 28:51Speaker 4: It firms up their identity. And so when they become
- 28:53Speaker 4: a mum, and this is what we see with this
- 28:55Speaker 4: type of individual. Normally, this kind of person have a
- 28:58Speaker 4: really intense, short attention span and they don't want to
- 29:03Speaker 4: sit with their child all day long. They just want
- 29:05Speaker 4: to like interact with them and then leave because they're like, Okay,
- 29:08Speaker 4: I'm a little bit bored.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Now.
- 29:10Speaker 4: This child's just lying down for six months NonStop and
- 29:12Speaker 4: I'm not going to survive through that.
- 29:15Speaker 3: So but them knowing it's.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Like, oh, I'm competitive and intense and I like high
- 29:20Speaker 4: intensity action and then I like rest, And they realize
- 29:24Speaker 4: that their identity still exists. Their purpose has changed and
- 29:28Speaker 4: now they've got a high intensity interval look after their child.
- 29:32Speaker 4: And if they do that, if they bring their natural
- 29:34Speaker 4: sense of self to the activity that they're.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Doing it informs them and then allows them to stay
- 29:40Speaker 3: and flow.
- 29:40Speaker 4: But normally, because we have norms around this new change
- 29:44Speaker 4: of who you've got to be and what you've got
- 29:45Speaker 4: to do as a new mother or whatever it might be.
- 29:47Speaker 4: It's just a really clear identity change that I see
- 29:50Speaker 4: a lot. Then it creates a whole lot of confusion
- 29:52Speaker 4: if I was this person and now I can't be
- 29:55Speaker 4: that person, But in fact, the essence of who you
- 29:57Speaker 4: are still there, and it's a matter of just knowing that,
- 30:00Speaker 4: and then you can apply it to your next immediate purpose,
- 30:02Speaker 4: which is now looking after a child, which wasn't your
- 30:05Speaker 4: purpose you know, two years before.
- 30:07Speaker 1: That's so interesting. I think that we're always that. You know.
- 30:13Speaker 1: It's funny this which I.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Know exactly why you said it, because it gets said
- 30:17Speaker 2: all the time, whereas people go, I was that person
- 30:19Speaker 2: now and this person. No, you're the same person, You're
- 30:22Speaker 2: the same, You're still you, You're still one hundred percent you. You're
- 30:26Speaker 2: just maybe have a different focus, you maybe have a
- 30:29Speaker 2: different reason you maybe have you know. But like I
- 30:33Speaker 2: think the idea of purpose is. I think it's important,
- 30:40Speaker 2: but I also think it's complicated and it's confused. This
- 30:43Speaker 2: is just a personal opinion.
- 30:45Speaker 1: This is not research.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I think it's misrepresented because the idea of you know,
- 30:50Speaker 2: find your purpose, find your purpose.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I can watch your purpose like you're.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Going to find it under some mystical, magical ethereal rock.
- 30:58Speaker 2: You're going to go, fuck hey everyone, and I've been
- 31:00Speaker 2: looking like a motherfucker. It's over here, behind this cave,
- 31:04Speaker 2: under this rock. Ye. Firstly, maybe you choose your purpose, right,
- 31:10Speaker 2: Maybe there's that, maybe you just go. And also maybe
- 31:13Speaker 2: you don't have a single purpose. Maybe maybe you don't
- 31:18Speaker 2: have one purpose. Maybe you live a really full, fucking
- 31:23Speaker 2: rich life with a bunch of different things that stimulate
- 31:26Speaker 2: you and light you up.
- 31:27Speaker 1: And also, by the way, Craig Harper.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Maybe your purpose when you're thirty five or thirty and
- 31:32Speaker 2: owning gyms and running around the gym floor like a
- 31:34Speaker 2: fucking idiot. Maybe maybe your purpose then isn't your purpose
- 31:38Speaker 2: now when you're sixty Maybe maybe things.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Evolve and changes, You evolve and change.
- 31:43Speaker 2: And you know, so I think I think in our
- 31:47Speaker 2: culture there's probably an unintentional but nonetheless.
- 31:50Speaker 1: A very real pressure on people to fucking discover their purpose.
- 31:55Speaker 4: By Tuesday, Cam, Yeah, totally and completely and that is,
- 32:02Speaker 4: we have many purposes, not only in this moment in
- 32:06Speaker 4: time right now, but also as things progress.
- 32:09Speaker 3: What can be helpful is that if you've got essential
- 32:13Speaker 3: theme that.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Feels really, really good, and this is where I believe
- 32:17Speaker 4: that there's a co creation that goes on. There's natural
- 32:21Speaker 4: gifts that you're imbued with, there's also your conscious choice
- 32:25Speaker 4: that you have, and generally you'll find yourself doing something.
- 32:29Speaker 4: If you're feeling very, very purposeful, you will find yourself
- 32:32Speaker 4: doing something that is aligned with your natural gifts, which
- 32:34Speaker 4: you had no choice in, but also feels intellectually and
- 32:39Speaker 4: philosophically right to you. And there's a co creation of
- 32:42Speaker 4: your nature and your nurture at the same time. And
- 32:46Speaker 4: to the point of the multiple purposes that you think about,
- 32:52Speaker 4: if we're trying to find that physiology of attention with
- 32:56Speaker 4: calm and low stress, if you are at home and
- 33:01Speaker 4: trying to work and you've got five kids running around
- 33:05Speaker 4: that desperately want your attention, and you also want to
- 33:08Speaker 4: be a great parent and an attentive parent, working at
- 33:11Speaker 4: home is incredibly stressful and it's not productive. You're not
- 33:15Speaker 4: going to be in flow your purpose right then and there.
- 33:18Speaker 4: You're not fulfilling.
- 33:19Speaker 3: It by.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Attending to your children, and that takes that tension away,
- 33:25Speaker 4: that leans into obviously something that you've co created that
- 33:29Speaker 4: exists these children, and also your natural want to be
- 33:32Speaker 4: there and the.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Hormones that are related to that as well.
- 33:34Speaker 4: By you attending to your children and you know, lifting
- 33:37Speaker 4: them up and creating a great foundation for them of love,
- 33:39Speaker 4: whatever it might be in that moment, that's incredibly purposeful,
- 33:42Speaker 4: and your body will show that in its physiology.
- 33:44Speaker 3: I actually feel better.
- 33:45Speaker 4: Looking after my kids than I do trying to be
- 33:48Speaker 4: distracted looking after them doing work. Whereas when you go
- 33:50Speaker 4: to work, you know you're not running around padding people
- 33:54Speaker 4: on the back. I mean you could or you know,
- 33:56Speaker 4: giving kisses and telling them much you love, Like you
- 33:58Speaker 4: want to get into your office or you want to
- 33:59Speaker 4: get into your space, and you want to be as
- 34:01Speaker 4: productive and as useful as possible and moving towards the
- 34:04Speaker 4: outcomes that you're looking for in your job. In that
- 34:07Speaker 4: your immediate purpose in that moment is not your kids.
- 34:11Speaker 4: In fact, your kids will be a distraction once again
- 34:14Speaker 4: and work is now the priority. If you go to
- 34:17Speaker 4: the beach, you know your purpose shifts once again, and
- 34:21Speaker 4: I guess there's a the way that I like to
- 34:23Speaker 4: think of it. And again this is in part stuff
- 34:26Speaker 4: that I've read and in part of the things that
- 34:27Speaker 4: I agree with, and that is goals in cement plans,
- 34:32Speaker 4: in sands's if you get a sense, a persistent sense
- 34:36Speaker 4: of the type of thing that you want to show
- 34:38Speaker 4: up for, and normally it's quite broad like for me,
- 34:41Speaker 4: I want to inspire elevation. I want people to know
- 34:44Speaker 4: themselves better and live their potential.
- 34:46Speaker 3: And so that is my central theme, which has changed
- 34:51Speaker 3: a few.
- 34:52Speaker 4: Times over the years, and as I've grown and as
- 34:54Speaker 4: I've developed and understood more, and then I'm acting on
- 34:58Speaker 4: that purpose in a different way with my kids, in
- 35:01Speaker 4: a different way with my work, and I'm not perfect
- 35:03Speaker 4: with it, of course, but in a different way with
- 35:06Speaker 4: my team, in a different way with our clients. It's
- 35:09Speaker 4: the way that I show up is constantly changing, but
- 35:13Speaker 4: it has a central theme, a central governing sense that
- 35:16Speaker 4: allows me to have a north star. And so everybody's
- 35:20Speaker 4: going to have a different interpretation of that. But even
- 35:22Speaker 4: just probably a huge thing that I'm a thing that
- 35:25Speaker 4: I'm finding is so relieving to people is that your
- 35:28Speaker 4: your purpose is allowed to change, so you might have
- 35:31Speaker 4: a purpose, that's our data.
- 35:32Speaker 3: They not inspiring you anymore, and you might just be
- 35:34Speaker 3: sticking to it, thinking this is what.
- 35:35Speaker 4: I've got to do, when in fact, you have aged,
- 35:39Speaker 4: you have grown, you have seen different things. There are
- 35:41Speaker 4: more things that are present in your life now and
- 35:44Speaker 4: as a result, your purpose must change in order for
- 35:47Speaker 4: you to get that same sensation of I'm on track
- 35:50Speaker 4: and this is where one more thing, mate, I know
- 35:52Speaker 4: I'm going on, but there is this idea that even
- 35:58Speaker 4: if you don't like what I love is the commonversation
- 36:00Speaker 4: for people that don't believe that there's a purpose, You
- 36:03Speaker 4: don't need a purpose, or it's not important, whatever it
- 36:08Speaker 4: might be, and it actually doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
- 36:11Speaker 4: what your beliefs are. If you have the physiology of focus,
- 36:16Speaker 4: calm focus, with motivation, drive and low stress levels, then
- 36:23Speaker 4: you're on purpose and you'll also it will also mean
- 36:25Speaker 4: that you recover better overnight. And I mean to make
- 36:28Speaker 4: it simple, you'll live a longer and happier life because
- 36:30Speaker 4: your sleep will be better, your digestion will be better,
- 36:32Speaker 4: your recovery will be better because you've got the physiology
- 36:35Speaker 4: that's not as stressed. Whereas if you're not on purpose,
- 36:39Speaker 4: and you only need to be in a relationship that's
- 36:41Speaker 4: a little bit misaligned to experience.
- 36:43Speaker 3: What this is.
- 36:44Speaker 4: If you're not on purpose, you don't sleep as well,
- 36:46Speaker 4: you don't eat as well, you don't move as well,
- 36:48Speaker 4: you don't recover as well, things don't feel as easy,
- 36:51Speaker 4: things feel more tiring. And that is a way crap
- 36:55Speaker 4: a version of life. So whatever gets you into that space,
- 37:00Speaker 4: I feel like I was built for this moment that
- 37:04Speaker 4: if you can strive for that in whatever that looks like,
- 37:07Speaker 4: and it's different for everybody. Something. And I was sitting
- 37:10Speaker 4: with some school teachers the other day and we've done
- 37:12Speaker 4: their biological assessment. One of them hyper oxytocin sensitive, so
- 37:17Speaker 4: everything is about socializing.
- 37:19Speaker 3: And another individual she was virtually the opposite to that,
- 37:24Speaker 3: very introverted, And we were talking about when of you
- 37:27Speaker 3: felt purposeful in the last little while, and the introverted.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Person says, I was reading my book and then I
- 37:35Speaker 4: did some coding by myself in a dark room by
- 37:37Speaker 4: about seven hours or for about seven hours, just really
- 37:40Speaker 4: enjoying my and just that intellectual stimulation of doing.
- 37:42Speaker 3: My own work. And I was like, that's amazing, Like
- 37:45Speaker 3: what an incredible flow.
- 37:46Speaker 4: She was describing the calm, focused low strands, and then
- 37:49Speaker 4: the very super social person with the oxytocin variat got
- 37:52Speaker 4: in and she said, oh, yeah, we were like playing games.
- 37:57Speaker 3: With the kids.
- 37:58Speaker 4: We were doing like a new game every five minutes,
- 38:00Speaker 4: Like all of the kids were going absolutely nuts making
- 38:03Speaker 4: all of this noise, and we were just in there
- 38:05Speaker 4: having a great time with them. I felt completely inflow.
- 38:09Speaker 4: I felt completely purposeful, like I was built for this moment.
- 38:12Speaker 4: And so just whatever that is to you. And this
- 38:15Speaker 4: is where you know, we now have a lot more
- 38:18Speaker 4: science that helps us understand this so that you can
- 38:20Speaker 4: navigate to the biology of this a lot faster. But
- 38:24Speaker 4: think about those times in your life where you have
- 38:26Speaker 4: been like I was made for this moment right here,
- 38:29Speaker 4: And they're a nice thing to reflect on, the stepping
- 38:32Speaker 4: stones to get to, well, what could be creating that
- 38:36Speaker 4: sensation for me right now? Because that right there is
- 38:38Speaker 4: that's life, like, that is what we are here for.
- 38:40Speaker 4: That's what our capacity, our potential is here for.
- 38:43Speaker 3: To just feel.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Incredibly rewarded living the moment that we're in.
- 38:47Speaker 3: That's what it's all about.
- 38:49Speaker 1: You don't get excited about this stuff enough. You need
- 38:52Speaker 1: to put it up.
- 38:53Speaker 4: I'm just dragging myself outside.
- 38:56Speaker 1: You need hard you know.
- 38:58Speaker 2: I was thinking about, as you were talking about, you know,
- 39:02Speaker 2: how different we all are and how we need different
- 39:04Speaker 2: things and respond to different or the same thing in different.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Ways, and blah blah blah.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Like a really good example of this, which I'm sure
- 39:14Speaker 2: you've experienced, this is as a speaker, most people who
- 39:19Speaker 2: aren't speakers, which is most people you don't, you wouldn't
- 39:23Speaker 2: think much that you can be up saying something to
- 39:27Speaker 2: a group. And because I've done it so much and
- 39:30Speaker 2: I'm in front of so many groups, I've done it
- 39:33Speaker 2: for forty years, and I read rooms pretty I still
- 39:36Speaker 2: fuck up. I still have good and bad days, but
- 39:37Speaker 2: for the most part, it's somewhere between not bad and
- 39:40Speaker 2: pretty good most of the time. Right So, and I'm
- 39:43Speaker 2: very interactive and I'm way more fucking organic and freestyle
- 39:47Speaker 2: than most presenters. I don't have slides, I don't have graphs,
- 39:50Speaker 2: not that there's anything wrong with that. But what's interesting
- 39:53Speaker 2: is sometimes I look out and I could tell I
- 39:56Speaker 2: can go that dude fucking loves me, and that laid
- 40:00Speaker 2: your next team fucking hates me, and that one next
- 40:04Speaker 2: day she thinks I'm hilarious. The next one's confused, you know,
- 40:09Speaker 2: And you can just tell that on the same day,
- 40:12Speaker 2: in the same room, shit, the same guy with the
- 40:14Speaker 2: same intention, the same energy, sharing the same message. So
- 40:18Speaker 2: everyone's got the same inbound stimulus, right kind of. But
- 40:25Speaker 2: there are so many different experiences being had and you're like, yeah,
- 40:29Speaker 2: this is how it works, and I can almost I
- 40:32Speaker 2: can you know sometimes ago that lady up the back
- 40:35Speaker 2: of that dude, they're gonna they have a problem with me.
- 40:38Speaker 2: And then sometimes you'll just see him walking up to
- 40:40Speaker 2: you at the end and you're like, here we go,
- 40:42Speaker 2: here we go.
- 40:43Speaker 1: You know, it's okay.
- 40:44Speaker 2: It's like that's literally that's the reality, you know, that
- 40:49Speaker 2: is you are. It's like you you've got a team,
- 40:52Speaker 2: You've got staff. Like I don't know about you, but
- 40:56Speaker 2: for me, I employed hundreds and hundreds of people, and
- 41:00Speaker 2: there would be certain staff members, God bless them. There
- 41:04Speaker 2: might be in a like a gym where I've got
- 41:07Speaker 2: forty staff, there might be three staff members that take
- 41:11Speaker 2: ninety percent of my energy and the other thirty seven
- 41:14Speaker 2: take ten. Yeah, and it's like that consistently, you know,
- 41:20Speaker 2: So that like when you were saying purpose changes, and
- 41:23Speaker 2: I was thinking of a couple of other things.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Is that one.
- 41:29Speaker 2: It's okay, Like uncertainty is okay, Like we are so
- 41:34Speaker 2: addicted to We've got to know, We've got to be right,
- 41:36Speaker 2: we've got to be certain. Things have got to be
- 41:38Speaker 2: familiar things. I've got to be. No, it doesn't have
- 41:41Speaker 2: to be. Here's an idea, just try this. I don't know,
- 41:45Speaker 2: Like I don't know, And it's okay, what do you think?
- 41:49Speaker 1: I don't know?
- 41:50Speaker 2: Because we feel so compelled to look fucking smart. I've
- 41:54Speaker 2: so many times going look, I could make something up,
- 41:56Speaker 2: but I actually don't know.
- 41:58Speaker 1: So I'm just going to go with I don't know.
- 42:00Speaker 1: And also, here's another one. Here's a good et. I
- 42:03Speaker 1: was wrong, just fucked it up. I was wrong.
- 42:09Speaker 4: There was some strange combination of words you just mentioned
- 42:12Speaker 4: what there was the three of them.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Iand I know, I know.
- 42:16Speaker 2: It's I know it's fucking weird, but you know, And
- 42:19Speaker 2: the thing is that I would be a moron, and
- 42:21Speaker 2: I would be the most arrogant man on earth to
- 42:24Speaker 2: think that I'm not currently getting things wrong, because I've
- 42:28Speaker 2: always got something wrong. Not all the things all the time, right,
- 42:33Speaker 2: but I have yes, I've had some wins and I've
- 42:35Speaker 2: got some things right. But if I speak to the
- 42:38Speaker 2: guys doing a PhD and self awareness, if I'm not
- 42:41Speaker 2: saying right now, more than likely I'm getting several things
- 42:45Speaker 2: wrong in some way, and moving forward, I will continue
- 42:49Speaker 2: to fuck up. I'll also try to grow and learn
- 42:51Speaker 2: and evolve and serve people. But will I get things wrong?
- 42:54Speaker 2: Will I operate an ego? Will I fuck up?
- 42:56Speaker 1: Yes? I will like that. Just to me, that just
- 43:00Speaker 1: takes a bit of pressure.
- 43:01Speaker 4: Off totally and probably one of the best lessons that
- 43:06Speaker 4: a really powerful mentor gave to me. He's still my
- 43:10Speaker 4: chief mentor is. I don't know if I'll ever outgrown him. Actually,
- 43:13Speaker 4: he is an incredible man. He it's that when you
- 43:19Speaker 4: don't know, you will still feel something, and you'll still
- 43:24Speaker 4: have thoughts on it, and you'll still have a belief
- 43:27Speaker 4: about something. And what's really helped is because we don't
- 43:31Speaker 4: truly know, Like even if you think you know, you
- 43:34Speaker 4: don't know, because anything could happen.
- 43:38Speaker 3: There can be a sense of knowing in your body
- 43:41Speaker 3: if you allow.
- 43:42Speaker 4: And the way that he explained it was like if
- 43:44Speaker 4: you've got traffic lights that are saying go and stop.
- 43:47Speaker 4: On some decisions, you'll have a couple of amber lights,
- 43:50Speaker 4: a green light and a hard red light, you know,
- 43:53Speaker 4: and then on other decisions you'll go, you know what,
- 43:56Speaker 4: everything's green on that I'm going to do it. And
- 43:58Speaker 4: that's been a really really powerful exercise for me to say, well,
- 44:02Speaker 4: I don't know what's ultimately going to happen, but if
- 44:04Speaker 4: I was, And it encourages you to actually tap into
- 44:08Speaker 4: an intuition, tap into your deeper feelings, tap into what
- 44:12Speaker 4: you might what might be best for you to say,
- 44:14Speaker 4: if I was to do this, do I feel aligned
- 44:17Speaker 4: with you know? Does it it doesn't make sense?
- 44:19Speaker 3: Yes? Does it feel good?
- 44:21Speaker 4: Yes?
- 44:22Speaker 3: Is it?
- 44:22Speaker 4: Do I think it's it's right for the people around me?
- 44:24Speaker 4: It's like green light, green light, green light.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Well, that that's good. That's as good as it gets,
- 44:29Speaker 3: like as far as knowing and confidence becomes. That is it?
- 44:33Speaker 3: But then what's so fascinating about that self awareness?
- 44:35Speaker 4: And we haven't touched on it just because it's pend
- 44:39Speaker 4: I mean, not for any particular reason. But you might
- 44:42Speaker 4: have a fear from your childhood or the last relationship
- 44:46Speaker 4: that you had that creates an amber or a red and.
- 44:50Speaker 3: This is where it's only in that quieter space.
- 44:55Speaker 4: It's only in that state of where where you feel connected,
- 44:58Speaker 4: where you feel loved, where you feel purposeful, that often
- 45:02Speaker 4: you can start to separate out what is fear from
- 45:04Speaker 4: before and what is actually real and you know it's
- 45:08Speaker 4: it's it's you can't undo trauma with additional stress. You've
- 45:13Speaker 4: actually you've got to be in a space of love.
- 45:15Speaker 4: You've got to be in a space of calm. You've
- 45:16Speaker 4: got to be a space of connection.
- 45:17Speaker 3: And so.
- 45:19Speaker 4: I didn't expect to say this by the end of
- 45:21Speaker 4: this little paragraph, but this is the importance of having
- 45:26Speaker 4: a routine of where you're connecting with yourself, not to
- 45:31Speaker 4: fix a problem, not to necessarily be focused on your purpose,
- 45:35Speaker 4: but the ten minutes of deep breathing to understand your
- 45:38Speaker 4: internal world, to navigate what those those feelings are, so
- 45:42Speaker 4: that when you actually do need to call upon them,
- 45:44Speaker 4: you've got a familiarity. It's just mindfulness is just a muscle,
- 45:48Speaker 4: and that when it comes to purpose, it's this is
- 45:51Speaker 4: a feeling that is unique to you.
- 45:54Speaker 1: That is.
- 45:56Speaker 4: That that someone else can't instruct you to. It's got
- 46:00Speaker 4: to be something that you feel out for yourself. And
- 46:02Speaker 4: the pathway to that is actually connecting. This is what
- 46:04Speaker 4: I'm because there is a vast lack of this education
- 46:08Speaker 4: in schools right now, and it's this term I'm actually
- 46:13Speaker 4: really really We're going to be building in mindful routines
- 46:16Speaker 4: into part of the research proge that we're doing, so
- 46:18Speaker 4: five year old kids will have their personalized mindfulness routine
- 46:21Speaker 4: before they start school. But that this is the this
- 46:24Speaker 4: is where it needs to be because it's that internal
- 46:27Speaker 4: sense of knowing that you can have confidence and you say,
- 46:30Speaker 4: you know what, I don't know, but it feels and
- 46:33Speaker 4: thinks and looks like green lights, so let's see. And
- 46:37Speaker 4: then it's you know, it's the moving forward without expectation
- 46:40Speaker 4: of result, but just giving it your best and seeing
- 46:42Speaker 4: what happens.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 46:45Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I think for some people that
- 46:49Speaker 2: that vulnerability, that vulnerability of being okay with being wrong,
- 46:56Speaker 2: and especially when as we were talking about before with
- 46:59Speaker 2: ourd especially when your identity is tied in with some
- 47:03Speaker 2: a certain thing being a certain way, then you find,
- 47:07Speaker 2: you know, like religious stuff is an easy example, just
- 47:10Speaker 2: because you know, I grew up or whatever, we grew
- 47:14Speaker 2: up in this theology or this doctrine or this philosophy,
- 47:17Speaker 2: and we know we are this or that you know
- 47:20Speaker 2: we are the one true hotline to God or whatever
- 47:23Speaker 2: the you know. And when you take out the religion
- 47:26Speaker 2: and the theology and you just think about it from
- 47:28Speaker 2: a cognitive point of view or a metacognitive point of view, Oh,
- 47:33Speaker 2: we think this way. I think this way because Mum
- 47:37Speaker 2: and Dad think this way, and Uncle John and Arnie
- 47:40Speaker 2: Marge think this way, and the pastor thinks this and
- 47:43Speaker 2: all the people in my world think this way. So
- 47:47Speaker 2: I haven't actually been taught how to think. I've been
- 47:50Speaker 2: told what to think, and now I think that. And
- 47:54Speaker 2: so this when I get to the end of my programming,
- 47:59Speaker 2: and then I open a door into self awareness and consciousness,
- 48:03Speaker 2: Like this is the interesting, Like where does my programming finish?
- 48:08Speaker 2: And where does my ability to think for purely for myself,
- 48:12Speaker 2: to think critically and whether or not what I think
- 48:15Speaker 2: aligns with those around me or not?
- 48:17Speaker 1: What do I think?
- 48:19Speaker 2: And it's very fucking difficult to overcome your programming for
- 48:23Speaker 2: all of us, me included. Right, I haven't been to
- 48:26Speaker 2: church essentially for forty years, but I grew up in
- 48:28Speaker 2: a very very churchy life, and so there's still psychologe
- 48:34Speaker 2: and I'm not saying it was bad. It wasn't all
- 48:36Speaker 2: fucking terrible or anything, but there's this still there's this
- 48:38Speaker 2: residual where there are certain things that if I'm talking
- 48:42Speaker 2: about certain things a certain way, I feel this discomfort
- 48:46Speaker 2: or this guilt, and I'm like, oh wow, that's interesting.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Forty years later, there's still shit I'm uncomfortable to say.
- 48:52Speaker 2: But just in case God smites me from the face
- 48:55Speaker 2: of the earth or something, you know, it's so interesting
- 48:59Speaker 2: to realize how much of that stuff lives on. Probably
- 49:04Speaker 2: you're going to tell me in ourselves, but it's fucking
- 49:08Speaker 2: and trying to trying to be I don't know if
- 49:13Speaker 2: the word is aware enough or courageous enough or curious
- 49:17Speaker 2: enough to go, look, maybe a lot of what I think,
- 49:22Speaker 2: or some of what I think is flawed or.
- 49:26Speaker 1: You know, somewhat flawed.
- 49:28Speaker 2: It's an interesting door to open because it opens. It's
- 49:32Speaker 2: very hard to be objective when you believe that, or
- 49:36Speaker 2: open minded when you believe that you are already right.
- 49:39Speaker 2: So therefore anyone who doesn't agree or align with my
- 49:42Speaker 2: version of right is wrong. So now I've made myself unteachable.
- 49:47Speaker 2: Now I'm living in confirmation bias. The echo Chamber of Craig.
- 49:52Speaker 4: Yeah, as you were. As you were talking there, I
- 49:58Speaker 4: was thinking about that.
- 50:01Speaker 3: Like to think of it.
- 50:03Speaker 4: The way that I've kind of or thought about this
- 50:05Speaker 4: and been supportive to think about this as well, is
- 50:08Speaker 4: the past experience that we have personally. I'll give an
- 50:11Speaker 4: example one person that's come through one of our health
- 50:15Speaker 4: professional courses, very fiery, direct type of individual, with very subdued, grounded,
- 50:21Speaker 4: steady parents and didn't realize that they'd been suppressing him
- 50:30Speaker 4: his whole life out of care and love, that we
- 50:32Speaker 4: need a grounded, quiet, calm, considered child because that's who
- 50:37Speaker 4: we are.
- 50:38Speaker 3: And then he has this complete realization moment, you.
- 50:43Speaker 4: Know, really only two years ago, by understanding his makeup
- 50:46Speaker 4: is actually fiery and freedom and taking chances and being impulsive,
- 50:52Speaker 4: and he's been living in this conflict and it's just
- 50:55Speaker 4: been building up and creating an incredible amount of stress
- 50:58Speaker 4: in his system. And the release of that was absolutely
- 51:03Speaker 4: crazy like, and the mid life crisis almost that followed
- 51:07Speaker 4: because it's like, well, I don't have the things that
- 51:09Speaker 4: I felt safe with anymore. Now I've actually I understand
- 51:12Speaker 4: myself and with that freedom comes a whole lot of
- 51:14Speaker 4: unknown and I'm not used to this new muscle that
- 51:18Speaker 4: I have. So that first, the first thing is just
- 51:23Speaker 4: the most loving, well intended people. If they don't understand
- 51:27Speaker 4: your differences, they can be completely different to you, and
- 51:29Speaker 4: they projected onto you.
- 51:30Speaker 3: And this is what happens with kids.
- 51:32Speaker 4: And this is what's so exciting about working with schools,
- 51:38Speaker 4: and that is we are telling them to like, this
- 51:43Speaker 4: is this child, and when they explode, it needs to
- 51:48Speaker 4: in an indirect way needs to be validated and celebrated
- 51:53Speaker 4: as to why they did that, rather than just you
- 51:55Speaker 4: are the wrong child and you've done the wrong thing,
- 51:58Speaker 4: whatever it might be, which then creates this conflict in
- 52:01Speaker 4: them of like, oh, I did this thing that felt
- 52:04Speaker 4: natural to me.
- 52:04Speaker 3: I've been told that that's wrong. She's what's wrong with me?
- 52:07Speaker 4: Like this is the story that gets created, rather being
- 52:11Speaker 4: around people that allow you to just that proactively encourage
- 52:16Speaker 4: you to be yourself. So I know that you are
- 52:20Speaker 4: a really quiet person.
- 52:21Speaker 3: Like my mum.
- 52:22Speaker 4: She's the introvert of introverts, and it's like, hey mum,
- 52:25Speaker 4: go take some time by yourself. Hey mom, Like, go
- 52:28Speaker 4: and have a lie theut, Hey mom, go and get
- 52:30Speaker 4: into a dark room where you can just dull your
- 52:32Speaker 4: senses down.
- 52:33Speaker 3: Like being encouraged to be yourself. There's another my niece
- 52:36Speaker 3: actually over over the weekend. She just talks so.
- 52:41Speaker 4: Much and so fast, and her thinking is brilliant. She's
- 52:45Speaker 4: really really sharp. She thinks about things in the right way,
- 52:48Speaker 4: but the way that she says it really grinds on
- 52:51Speaker 4: a number of family members. And just to tell her, Hey,
- 52:55Speaker 4: what you're thinking is exactly right, and it's actually amazing
- 52:59Speaker 4: what comes out of your mouth, because most of the
- 53:00Speaker 4: time at school she's been told her you got to
- 53:03Speaker 4: be quiet, like no one wants to hear right now,
- 53:05Speaker 4: and so old. It's eleven, she's eleven, and so she's
- 53:09Speaker 4: building this story of geez, I'm rambling. Like if someone
- 53:13Speaker 4: lets her actually talk, she'll say, oh, I'm rambling now.
- 53:15Speaker 4: I said no, no, no, this is good. But she's so
- 53:17Speaker 4: used to being stifled. And so it's what would it
- 53:21Speaker 4: be like? And it might seem even unrealistic for you
- 53:26Speaker 4: to celebrate and support children that are acting poorly, for example,
- 53:31Speaker 4: it might feel like unrealistic to do that. But what
- 53:35Speaker 4: I would like everybody to reflect on is what would
- 53:38Speaker 4: it feel like if or who is that person who
- 53:41Speaker 4: just loves me. No matter what, I can just be
- 53:44Speaker 4: the whatever kind of person that I want to be,
- 53:46Speaker 4: and no matter what, they go, Oh, you're such a legend.
- 53:48Speaker 4: Let's go get another champagne. Let's just this is just
- 53:51Speaker 4: the best. I love when you get all fired up.
- 53:53Speaker 3: This is the best.
- 53:54Speaker 1: You know.
- 53:54Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they are assholes. I totally agree with you.
- 53:57Speaker 3: Give me a gimme a five.
- 53:58Speaker 4: Whatever it might be, What is it like to be
- 54:02Speaker 4: around that person, to have that level of support in
- 54:06Speaker 4: who you are? And that's essentially everything that we're trying
- 54:09Speaker 4: to do is help people be more informed about who
- 54:15Speaker 4: you are, why you do the things that you might be,
- 54:17Speaker 4: and how can I provide you the most amount of
- 54:20Speaker 4: celebration just for being you. I don't know where I
- 54:23Speaker 4: started all of this or where this began, but it's
- 54:26Speaker 4: definitely like a really key message that we're driving into
- 54:31Speaker 4: the world at the moment, and that is who you
- 54:32Speaker 4: are is exactly right. And if you've got people around
- 54:35Speaker 4: you that allow you to be you, it's amazing how
- 54:39Speaker 4: you course correct naturally just because you're calmer and you
- 54:43Speaker 4: coming out of stress and you're resolving things that may
- 54:46Speaker 4: have happened in the past. By being surrounded by that
- 54:48Speaker 4: love as well. So this whole idea about identity and
- 54:54Speaker 4: supporting people to be themselves, giving them the space to
- 54:57Speaker 4: then find their purpose and use their natural strength.
- 55:00Speaker 3: That's what it's all about.
- 55:02Speaker 1: But we've come full circle. I love it. I love it.
- 55:04Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard of a book called
- 55:08Speaker 1: called Bad Therapy.
- 55:09Speaker 4: No.
- 55:11Speaker 2: So, there's a lady called Abigail Shreier, I think that's
- 55:14Speaker 2: her name. She wrote a book called Bad Therapy. Lots
- 55:17Speaker 2: and lots of research, interviewed hundreds and hundreds of therapists
- 55:21Speaker 2: and psychs.
- 55:22Speaker 1: And blah blah blah blah blah.
- 55:24Speaker 2: Anyway, that the takeaway from the book, the key takeaway
- 55:28Speaker 2: is that for some people, talk therapy is brilliant, and
- 55:30Speaker 2: for some people it's catastrophic. It's like everyone thinks that
- 55:34Speaker 2: I am going to a psychologist or a therapist and
- 55:37Speaker 2: talking about your shit. At the very least it will
- 55:40Speaker 2: help a bit. And one of the outcomes of the book,
- 55:43Speaker 2: or one of the revelations the book, is that no, actually,
- 55:46Speaker 2: for some people rocking up every Tuesday a bough at
- 55:49Speaker 2: three o'clock and talking about that thing that happened five
- 55:52Speaker 2: years ago, it actually makes you worse because you just
- 55:56Speaker 2: open the door on that trauma and you just get
- 56:00Speaker 2: back into that and it takes them three four days
- 56:03Speaker 2: to recover from a session, and they're not actually overall
- 56:06Speaker 2: going forwards, they're going backwards. Which is not to say,
- 56:09Speaker 2: don't misinterpret me, folks that talk therapy is bad, but
- 56:13Speaker 2: for some people it ain't the answer. And I think
- 56:16Speaker 2: this is back to our original thing is like something
- 56:20Speaker 2: works for everyone, but not everything works for everyone. You know,
- 56:24Speaker 2: find you something you know.
- 56:26Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And some of the work that a
- 56:30Speaker 3: couple of our psychics.
- 56:31Speaker 4: Are doing in the moment is what kind of talk
- 56:35Speaker 4: therapy is going to be best, because some individuals, even
- 56:41Speaker 4: if they've gone really bad, need to be complimented, even
- 56:44Speaker 4: if there've been an absolute asshole. They need to be
- 56:47Speaker 4: told how great they are, and then that makes them
- 56:50Speaker 4: come back into balance, whereas sitting in the criticism and
- 56:55Speaker 4: getting their ego bashed makes them worse, makes them angry,
- 56:59Speaker 4: makes them more frustrated, make some more shut down.
- 57:01Speaker 3: But actually the therapy for them is just being told
- 57:05Speaker 3: how great they are.
- 57:05Speaker 4: Jeez, I love how you've thought about that. And let's
- 57:09Speaker 4: let's think to the future. What are the things that
- 57:11Speaker 4: we're going to approach in the future that we're going.
- 57:13Speaker 3: To really make great. Let's not worry about the past
- 57:16Speaker 3: at all. Let's actually just focus on the future.
- 57:18Speaker 4: As other people really learn so much from going back
- 57:21Speaker 4: into their past, and they can process it and digest it.
- 57:23Speaker 1: So I hear you.
- 57:25Speaker 4: Completely and even you know, some more enlightened sychs actually
- 57:30Speaker 4: go out and they do walking talkies where they know
- 57:33Speaker 4: they've got somebody who's more mindful or more more mobile,
- 57:37Speaker 4: and they love the idea of moving, and so they
- 57:40Speaker 4: get them to move their body while they're talking. And
- 57:44Speaker 4: it's interesting. My son is exactly that. He's a talker
- 57:48Speaker 4: and a walker. And if we're sitting in a car,
- 57:50Speaker 4: I'll say, hey, mate, let's talk about that, because I
- 57:52Speaker 4: know that it's important for him to talk about stuff
- 57:54Speaker 4: to get off his chest. Otherwise he broods on it
- 57:56Speaker 4: and he does feel better. If we're going for a walk,
- 57:59Speaker 4: he'll start naturally talking wow. But it's sitting still, it
- 58:04Speaker 4: doesn't do it. And there's some individuals with their brain
- 58:06Speaker 4: are more geared to they process all information through their
- 58:12Speaker 4: movement center, and so they take in information and then
- 58:16Speaker 4: they want to move and if they're having to then
- 58:18Speaker 4: sit still, it's just like stifling their response to things,
- 58:22Speaker 4: whereas other individuals to move and walk at the to
- 58:25Speaker 4: move and talk at the same time as a complete distraction.
- 58:27Speaker 4: So I hear you completely and the depths of that
- 58:30Speaker 4: are absolutely fascinating.
- 58:31Speaker 3: So anyway, it's it's been a wonderful talk with you.
- 58:36Speaker 1: I mate, I think you're getting better. I think you're
- 58:38Speaker 1: fucking getting better as you get older.
- 58:42Speaker 4: You've got to give you enough time. It's eighteen months
- 58:44Speaker 4: to get some new material, that's all.
- 58:46Speaker 2: Oh, I know, we've definitely got to get you back
- 58:48Speaker 2: quicker than that. Or if you're available, tel point our
- 58:51Speaker 2: listeners to your resources and yeah, let them know how
