The world is a little topsy-turvy right now and we are all trying to navigate a new normal. This month, I am talking to peak performance researcher Dr. Adam Fraser about his new book Strive. In this episode, Adam shares why we must embrace the gift of struggle
in order to find more fulfillment in our lives.

In this conversation, we talk about our bias for happiness, how avoiding difficulty can be detrimental to our personal growth, how we can balance striving with strong mental health; and how we can identify those areas of our life that we might just need to lean in a little more, to pursue the things that matter to us and motivate us.

Please enjoy this conversation as we listen and learn, from peak performance researcher, Dr. Adam Fraser.

Ever since I read the book Yellow and Black by Konrad Marshall, I wanted to sit down and have a conversation with this month’s podcast guest, Shane McCurry. Shane is a sort after consultant in the areas of culture, leadership and performance, and was part of the leadership team that helped Richmond Football Club evolve into the strong and successful club we know today.

Our conversation was deep and didn’t disappoint, as the reasons he has a strong reputation for building strong people and cultures became self-evident. This conversation is wide ranging with applications well beyond the boundaries of sport and will resonate if you are looking to have greater influence and impact in your personal and professional life.

Please enjoy the powerful, insightful and accessible wisdom that Shane McCurry offers throughout this entire conversation.

Layne Beachley is best known for her feats in the water. Being the only surfer to claim six consecutive world titles, she has the rightful reputation for being regarded as the most successful female surfer in history. But that success didn’t come without hurdles, set backs and struggle.
