My Curious Mind

Do you want your relationship with your children, spouse & friends to be the strongest they can possibly be during this time of Isolation and beyond?  I know I certainly do and that is exactly why I decided to sit down and chat with John Rutter from The Fathering Project to gain valuable and actionable knowledge to enhance our relationships and help us to live our best lives.   John has had years of experience studying human behaviour and running mental health and personal development programs. In this episode, he explains in detail the principles of creating stronger, healthier and long-lasting relationships. Although John is talking about principles from the fathering project, these principles are not just applicable to dads. These can be applied in many aspects of our life and in all different relationships.   John is an absolute legend and I had a great time chatting and learning from him.  Please enjoy this conversation with John Rutter.  See you in the next one. &n

Welcome to another episode of the Podcast. On this episode, I sat down with Michael Petersen. Michael is the founder and director of Pivotus which is a digital marketing agency. In this time of Coronavirus with so many people around the world now working remotely from home, I thought it would be valuable to chat to someone who has been doing it for years to gain some practical tips on how to be more effective, productive and happy while doing it. We ended up covering this and so much more. We chatted about goal setting, using lists, books that have helped him grow, the why behind this podcast, lawns, and Karaoke.  If you enjoy this conversation, please don't forget to like and subscribe.   I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Michael Petersen.   Cheers  Rich --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifesofar/message

In this episode, I sat down (virtually) with COREY FORREST. Corey is a Doctor currently working in NICU Pediatrics at the Goldcoast Hospital. He is quite possibly one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. In this chat, we talked about why he wanted to become a doctor in the first place and his passions and goals for the future. We chat about his time in Nepal as a student doctor there and the adventures and moments he had on the trip.   This was the first Zoom chat I have done for the podcast and due to Corona, I think there will be many more to come.   I hope you enjoy this chat and don't forget to like and subscribe and tell me what you thought about it in the comments:)   Stay Safe!  Rich --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifesofar/message

For my first ever episode, I sat down with Jason Fiddes. I really wanted to chat to Jason because he is a man who knows how to chase a dream and make it a reality. We cover a wide variety of topics and it was a load of fun. A huge thanks to Jason for being so honest and open and taking a chance with a bloke with a microphone who has no idea what he's doing :p Cheers mate! I recorded this back in September 2018 but have been terrified to publish it because I knew it wasn't perfect and lost my way with the goal of the podcast in general. I have decided its time to stop overthinking it and just chuck it out there for you all to listen to. I now realize that the only way to get better is to keep moving forward. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. I would love any feedback or comments so I can serve you guys in the best way possible.
