Unplug Your Self S02E03 - The Allure of the Corporate Ladder: Aspirations and Motivations
October 11, 2023 23:46 - 19 minutes - 27.3 MBThe corporate ladder, a symbol of hierarchical progression in the professional world, often captivates individuals with promises of prestige, recognition, and financial rewards.

Ep #25 - You need to teach cars human aggression. Or they will never merge.
May 17, 2020 11:35 - 1 hour - 148 MBUnfortunately I have been a totally lazy ass! I have not been keeping up with my podcast and as a result a month has passed. My aim is to get back to it however and over the months I hope to make this happen. My guest this week is Paul Joe Hajj. One of the few people I work with who was bold enough to join me on my podcast. He’s a very interesting person and over the time I have gotten to work with him we have waxed lyrical about the human experience many times. I have always enjoyed these ...
Ep #24 - I’m not doomsday prepping! Your are!!
April 06, 2020 06:49 - 1 hour - 132 MBThis week I got the chance to interview a Mr Jordan Carmichael. Someone I have know for a time now. It all started with a phone call ironically. In a moment when I needed phone calls. I was just over 3 months past being made redundant and trying to start my own company. I was failing at that and I was angling to get a real job. At this point I was not getting much in the pipeline of opportunity and was near giving up. Then my phone rang. So what started out like any recruiter calling me quic...

Ep 23 - Our work is not simply working. It’s putting in the effort to know the humans that are part of it.
March 31, 2020 13:20 - 1 hour - 119 MBThis week I got the chance to interview Paul Armstrong. Paul and I go back some time to when I was working for a large corporate and he came in to bid on some work. He was referred via a network connection and was amazing at identifying the needs of the business as well as working out a plan of attack for building out a global digital presence for the company I was working for. While the work did not go ahead, I was able to maintain contact over the years following this. And as my life chang...
Ep 22 - Alex Peck, One of the Godfathers of Parking.
March 24, 2020 03:14 - 1 hour - 120 MBI’ve known Alex for a while now and have had some interest in who he is as a result of an overlapping role where he was in a broader working in conjunction with the company I currently work for. He has since moved on from that group and rightfully so. Alex and his business partner Jack started a company that was disrupting the parking game in Sydney and it was a true disruption to what was an untouched part of our everyday lives. That being parking spots. When I first met Alex he was just ge...
Food for Thought #21 - The new life we all live. Covid-19 #flattenthecurve
March 19, 2020 04:01 - 22 minutes - 40.4 MBWe do not normally find ourselves having to change our entire lives. But in spite of what we have going on, our entire lives have changed. We have found ourselves uprooted from our normal patterns of social, work, family and now have to face the uncomfortable truth that self isolation, social distancing and an unknown future are what we are up against. This is not all doom in gloom however. We can choose the create the future we want by having a healthy mindset, ensuring we challenge our pe...
Ep 21 - International’s Womens Day. Inspiring moments from some of the female guests on the podcast.
March 10, 2020 06:38 - 1 hour - 123 MBThis week is international womens week and I thought it would be fun to to edit some of my favourite excepts form the interviews I have had with the women who have done the show. It does take a bit longer to put these ones together but was well worth it. Listening to these interviews again I was inspired by the perseverance and strength each one of these women have. The journeys they have been on and the reminder that they trusted me enough to share these experiences with me. For more info ...
Food for Thought #20 - The diminishing returns of our collective intelligence (sad emoji)
March 05, 2020 15:00 - 12 minutes - 23.1 MBI don’t often find myself in such a frustrated state of mind. I tend to be somewhat fragile when it comes to how the world works. Especially when I feel it is completely broken. At each turn of the wheel I find one more system in place to keep the masses in check. And around each corner is yet another trick up the marketing sleeve to ensure we part with our cash for the things we do not truly need. There has to be a moment in our history where it all made sense to set this all up the way th...
Ep 20 - Goals are one thing. Commitment is another thing. Being accountable to yourself gets it done!
March 02, 2020 04:27 - 1 hour - 151 MBWe often live our lives based on the lessons we were taught when we were young. Based on the ideas that were provided to us as part of the education we were given, as part of what our parents taught us, from what our mentors said to us. But it takes real guts to know when you are on the wrong path and seek to make the changes required to get you where you want to go. To know when that voice in your head is right and the denial you’ve been living off of should no longer be in the drivers seat...
Food for Thought #19 - Denial is not a river in Egypt.
February 27, 2020 23:36 - 15 minutes - 28.6 MBDenial - “refusing to admit the truth or reality of something unpleasant” We have all had that moment when we had to make a choice between eating the cookie or not eating the cookie. Or putting the ice cream in a bowl or just eating the whole pint. In a way this is a form of denial. A denial we engage to manage a diet or to challenge our self-control. Either way, it’s a choice you are actively making because you are complicit in the decision and can see the upside of the outcomes of the choi...
Ep 19 - Mindset is not just about decisions. It’s about your impact and how you move through life!
February 24, 2020 04:25 - 1 hour - 119 MBThis weeks episode was all about mindset and how it plays out in team sports both for individuals and teams as well as coaches and how this is basically a parallel to life in general. My guest this week is Justin Scott from Performance Edge Hockey who has flow down to Australia to run a skating and skills clinic for the club I am part of. He has a great focus on building players up by focusing on their individual skills and has been coming to Australia for the last 3 years. Justin and I spe...
Food for Thought #18 - Why don’t we say what we mean?
February 20, 2020 15:00 - 18 minutes - 34 MBI have been putting a lot of effort into the crafting of a persona who speaks his mind. Someone who is fearless in the face of is said and what needs to be said. But even though I am working to do this. I still struggle. I find myself not acting on what I want to say. What I want to do. This perplexes me. Why are there times where I hold back. What is it that is so overwhelming that I would not just reach out and ask someone if they are ok? Or say that I don’t like what they are doing? Rece...
Ep 18 - How much do we really know about our selves? Unpacking your emotional bags is tough.
February 16, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 186 MBI have to say I was somewhat blown away by this interview. Not because it was more or less than any of the other interview, but that there was this sort of depth and intimacy to it. Giv is an obvious professional. A capable person much like many of my guests. But also a confident person who is very much in tune with who she is and what she offers as a presence in a conversation. In retrospect I felt like I was sort of all over the place and it was Giv who kept me on track through this interv...
Food for Thought #17 - Sometimes starting is the hardest part.
February 14, 2020 03:41 - 13 minutes - 25 MBWe often sit in one place. Sort of stuck. Lacking the ability to move forward. Coming up with great excuses to not just do something. We all know what I’m talking about. Loosing weight, changing your diet, quoting smoking, drinking, changing your job or role, learning a new skill, asking for help. You name it, we all have the desire to change things. To step it up or move in some new direction. But we work against ourselves. We actually find ways to not start or if we do start, we tend to ha...
Ep 17 - The art of leadership in the modern age hasn’t changed, just the humans trying to be one.
February 10, 2020 10:40 - 1 hour - 86 MBToday I got to sit down with Tim Kitching and talk about climate change, leadership, the nature of corporations, the gig economy and a few other aspects of life that we all try our best to get along with. Tim is a very interesting person in that he was once a KFC franchise guy, a police officer and now a coach to companies trying to get to the next level. It’s a fine art teaching leadership and it takes a leader to be courageous enough to do something like this. Tims journey in life lead him...
Food for Thought #16 - How does someone with imposter syndrome get unstuck?
February 06, 2020 14:00 - 16 minutes - 15.3 MBQuite a lot has been running through my mind recently. Lots of activity. Lots of dialog. I came across a revelation which stemmed from a tweet that not all humans have an internal narrative. This was some what of a shock to me, but also some what revealing as well. The shock was mainly due to the fact that my assumption around this entire podcast had to do with the fact that we ALL have an inner narrative. Or Self Talk, as I reffer to it. But come to find out, some of us do not have this at ...
Ep 16 - The art of corporate rejection and keeping focused on what matters. Just keep building.
February 02, 2020 23:05 - 1 hour - 80.3 MBWe often just keep moving along in life. Just existing. Getting up and doing that rat race. In some of us the misery of life kicks in. You become cynical. You only exist to do the bare minimum and get back home. Because that’s your safe place. But some of us go the other way. We are not satisfied with the cynical life. We strive for more and we push our selves to achieve some sort of mythical success. When I spoke with Phil Martin, it was more about the art of finding a balance. There is li...
Food for Thought #15 - The stories we tell ourselves.
January 31, 2020 00:04 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBI just finished a few things. I finished the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and I also finished watching Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez. There are a lot of things swirling around my head at the moment. One of which is was that I had no real intention to read the book. Mainly because I was concerned it would change me or prove that I was somehow wrong. That while the outside world looked at me and said this book was written about me would be wrong and that I was someone a...
Ep 15 - It’s not always easy to achieve your dreams. But hard work and hustle help.
January 26, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 79.4 MBOften times in your life you look ahead. Especially when you are young and have those big dreams. You can never really see the finer details of how you will achieve them specifically. What they will look like. Where you will achieve them. But dreams that become real life are not often realised. In this episode of Unplug Your Self, we talk to John Kennedy Jr (JFK) and walk through his journey as an ice hockey player, his dream to bring the best hockey academy in the world to the sport and then...
Food for Thought #14 - Sometimes just being there matters.
January 23, 2020 14:00 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MBI have often caught myself thinking about moments that define a persons life. Not all moments need to be kill your mother and father, become batman, but thats not to say many moments can’t be transformational in a persons life. Mainly in hindsight, you are able to look back at those defining moments. Unless you are totally self aware, emotionally intelligent and a prophet are you able to know you are in one. You’d also need to have known you were in one before to really know! None the less my...
Ep 14 - 101 reasons to live life, not flip out and missing the window to be a cheerleader!
January 19, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBWell I am back baby! Getting them interviews back on line. I do enjoy talking to people and this week I got the chance to speak with Brittany Cristaudo. I know Brit through my Crossfit life and grew that initial meeting into a friendship. She was my coach and resident whip cracker but now she is off to South Africa to be with her now fiancé and start a new chapter in life. It’s undermined when I will see her again, but no doubt I will speak to her in the near future. It’s not everyday to tal...
Food for Thought #13 - The rings that bind us. What is a relationship?
January 17, 2020 00:23 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MBSo I just finished watching Marriage Story (https://www.netflix.com/title/80223779) on Netflix. It’s a great take on the break down of marriage and the flow on effects. The ways in which a divorce will typically unfold. The impact to your children. The emotions from the beginning, during the fall out and post divorce. It is incredibly made and resonates so close to my heart. It spoke the words I did not say to my ex wife and it absolutely had my heart when it comes to the father in the breakd...
Food for Thought #12 - Filter your water! You can’t just drink from the stream.
January 13, 2020 00:00 - 15 minutes - 14.3 MBWhen I was a kid water wasn’t such a big deal. You drank out of the tap. Any tap for that matter. We lived in the Rocky Mountains! Essentially the place that people went to get that glacial bottled water. Well in my mind that was the case because I tasted that Evian water and I thought the water out of the sink was nicer. But even still I was warned to not drink water from the streams or rivers. That that water was off limits due to the potential of getting Giardia. However, one day, when i...
Food for Thought #11 - Your Life is just a Blue pill or Red pill. Your Perspective is a choice.
December 31, 2019 00:00 - 19 minutes - 17.4 MB“Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth and mum was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a card game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up” It’s not mine, but I love it. Thanks everyone for listening! I am keen to get questions from you so that I can adjust and do more with the show. So y...
Food for Thought #10 - Are you getting dumber? Train your muscle!
December 23, 2019 00:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBI wonder how often our brains are neglected. How often we now put our mental capacity in a wheelchair and just let someone else push it around. I am not sure if this just how I am wired, or how I have told this story to myself, but it seems quite obvious to me that the invention of the internet and all this access has turned us into idiots. That we no longer seek to obtain knowledge in a way that is good for our brains, but good for our egos. Thanks everyone for listening! I am keen to get ...
Food for Thought #9 - Blind Narcissism. Is it too late?
December 09, 2019 03:04 - 15 minutes - 14.4 MBI have found myself lost in a world where I do not understand how others operate. It was not until recently that I considered a few things and also caught an interview with Edward Norton on the WTF podcast about our society slipping into a world of uncontrolled narcissism that I got some clarity on the matter. Specifically when you combine the worlds greatest amplifier, social media and the view that everyone seems to be only thinking of themselves these days. So is it you? Is it me? Is it to...
Ep13 - Sometimes life throws you lemons. You have to choose to make lemonade.
December 02, 2019 01:32 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBWell it took a bit, but I am back at it. This week we get to cover off some news I have with respect to my life and my wife. Life doesn’t always go as planned and in the last month Hali and I have been through some tougher times. Nothing we can’t handle, but tough none the less. Mainly for my wife, as I am more a passenger here as she navigates a miscarriage. But it isn’t meant to be a sad story! We see the positives and had a focus on moving through it. I hope you enjoy this one. Thanks ev...
Food for Thought #8 - Comfort Zones. Time to step it up.
November 28, 2019 14:00 - 8 minutes - 8.23 MBI often wonder if I am trapped on a world that is locked up. A world that is stuck in one gear. But then I remind myself that I am the one who is driving the car and I am the one picking the route I am on. There is no need to be comfortable here. I need to find the new road. The new experience. The thing that makes me uncomfortable and really have a crack at it. In this episode of Food for Thought I share my views on why I challenge myself and push myself to live outside my comfort zone as mu...
Food for Thought #7 - Ask yourself, Why?
November 22, 2019 00:45 - 17 minutes - 15.6 MBI have been doing a lot of work on me recently. This has all come in the form of asking myself one question. Why?? Why do I do what I do. I am not talking the go to the store and but food kind of why. I am talking that weird autopilot kind. So in this food 4 thought I dig into what I’ve been up to and how I have been working through it all. Links: The Dream Podcast - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/stitcher/the-dream#/ The Game Changers - https://www.netflix.com/title/81157840 Thanks ever...
Ep12 - Push starting the car through life when the special stick doesn’t work!
November 10, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 94.1 MBIn life you never know the journey you will have. For some it’s much the same as many. Born into a family, growing up on the same street, going to school, getting a job and becoming an adult. But for some it’s very different. For Gigi Tsang life was a combination of both. From working in the family restaurant to becoming a teacher to realising that that was not her path. Gigi is not short of dong what she thinks is right to find what she wants in life and working hard to achieve it. Thanks ...
Food for Thought #6 - Disappointment
November 08, 2019 00:00 - 10 minutes - 9.25 MBWe all have disappointments in our lives. We all have to deal with the ups and downs. But do you look to learn from your disappointments? Can you find the positive in what you have just gone through? Some sort of lessons to be learned? Are you available to others who were also part of the disappointment? Maybe it’s time to think about how you handle yourself through disappointment and work to level up! Thanks everyone for listening! I am keen to get questions from you so that I can adjust a...
Ep11 - A tale of two sets of PJs. House pyjamas and bed pyjamas.
November 04, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBToday I got the chance to talk to Sarah Edney who I have had the chance to play ice hockey with over the last season. Both as a player and as a coach. She is an absolute delight to hang with and is a total nutter butter when it comes to bed time rituals. She claims the vegan card so she can get the right food off the menu and orders a side of meat! And if that’s not enough to peak your interest, she has moved to Australia to become a dentist! This girl works hard and has a great vision of her...
Food for Thought #5 - Is the system Rigged?
November 01, 2019 00:00 - 18 minutes - 16.7 MBAll this climate change activist stuff and the government response to it seems off to me. Why would the government, local or national, care if people protest? Outside of violent protest, I can’t see the issue. Outside of the obvious, why would any government care if a group believe in a world that is ending as a result of lack of action on the part of the government? The world is ever more on fire and this is less and less to do with climate. It is to do with the general unrest in society. Th...
Ep10 - What the What? And then some more. Interviewing The Joe.
October 28, 2019 00:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBSo I was short an interview. This stuff is hard! Getting people. Finding people. But then I thought to myself, I get asked a lot of questions as to why I am doing this. So I though, after 9 episodes, that I would do a bit of a Q&A based off the questions I get asked around this podcast. Hope you enjoy a crazy man interviewing himself. Thanks everyone for listening! I am keen to get questions from you so that I can adjust and do more with the show. So you can reach out to me via email (podca...
Food for Thought #4 - Cheating as a way of life
October 25, 2019 00:00 - 14 minutes - 13.4 MBIt would seem that path we all want to achieve in life is one that often feels so far out of reach. This looks like financial security on the outset and the ability to achieve this requires learning quite a lot about the way the world works. Specifically around work, money, life balance, love and time. How ever once you learn the basics you need to then gain a level of mastery of each in order to take advantage of each stream to generate that road to the dreams you have. If any one or all of ...
Ep9 - Pitching your way to the green through life experiences
October 20, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 73.9 MBIt’s not often you get the chance to sit down with someone and find out what makes them get up and do what they do each day. But in todays podcast we get a chance to do just that. In speaking with Scott Forrester I was not only able to get to know more about someone I’ve spend many of hours with, but I also got an insight into a fellow human. I got to see what was motivating a friend to run a start up, work with top talent and genuinely seek to make a difference in peoples, businesses and his...
Unplug Your Self Ep7 - A Hipster Tailors Son who’s up with the Sciences
October 07, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBToday I got a chance to catch up with a long time friend, boss, colleague and generally cool guy name Sean Cookson. I’ve known Sean for 15 years or more and over that time we have had many unique engagements. We have worked together a few times, he has been an advisor to me and at times a great mentor. If he is not there in one of those archetypes, he has just been a great human to go cycling with and share a joke or two. Or to simply have a laugh about life and all the things that go in it. ...
Unplug Your Self - Food 4 Thought #3 - Hindsight and wishes
October 03, 2019 00:00 - 10 minutes - 9.93 MBI found myself reminiscing while consuming memories on my facebook feed while I was on the toilet today. It’s where I find myself every morning. Checking in and see what I was up to in the years past. Memories are a funny thing. Mainly because time is a constant and no matter what you are doing, while you do it, it becomes a memory. It’s a wonder we keep track of anything! By I am sidetracked here. Thanks everyone for listening! I am keen to get questions from you so that I can adjust and d...
Unplug Your Self Ep6 - Find your self by asking your self, WTF am I doing!?
September 28, 2019 08:24 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBToday I had the pleasure of catching up with an old friend. I say this because it is rare in my life get the chance to meet someone who is willing to be open and honest with me. Kiah Hickson was thrown into the world of Joe when I was working in a start up that made start ups. She was an outsider to the group but also brought in with the utmost backing and support because she is a bonafide bad ass. If she is not doing a mashup of tech and fashion, learning how to be a practitioner in a new fi...
Unplug Your Self - Food 4 Thought #2 - The Greta Vortex
September 27, 2019 00:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBI never thought I would get pulled into the vortex of someone else’s political views. I’ve been immune for so many years now that I thought my own biases would get in the way and the outer shell that I have built up would just protect anything from invading my psyche. However, in the last 12 months there has been this noise. Something that was initially just “interesting” has now become a headline fore me. A face that kept creeping in. A voice that made sense to me. Someone who exhibited mor...
Unplug Your Self Ep5 - Fiction or Non-Fiction, a delinquent youth and a fistful of Ambition
September 22, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBToday I got the chance to interview a colleague and friend of mine Jamie Hayman. I’ve known Jamie for a few years as a coworker. In that time I have seen him get after and do many things and it was always interesting to me to watch his sheer passion for just getting after something. If it wasn’t starting to play Ice Hockey, it was starting a new business. If it wasn’t starting a new business it was enthusiasm for a new idea. If Jamie was intrigued and wanted to get in to it, he simply did. ...
Unplug Your Self - Food 4 Thought #1 - Homeless
September 20, 2019 00:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBToday I volunteered at Sydney Streetlevel Mission in Surrey Hills. I was not actually in a mental place to do this when I arrived but I was setting myself up prior from a mindset perspective. I wanted to ensure that I was open and mentally available to be part of the experience. What ever it was. The specific part of the experience being that of the conversations I would inevitably have and the tasks or work I would be doing. It was part of a corporate volunteering initiative put on by a cowo...
Unplug Your Self Ep4 - Hindsights not 50/50, it’s 20/20, impostor syndrome & failure
