A returning voice, Learning Consultant Paul Morris, joins Jason and Chris to discuss Adam Grant's Article in The New York Times: "There's a Name for the Blah You're Feeling: It's Called Languishing". With a particular focus on the impacts that Covid has had on us as social human-beings, this trio discuss the feeling of failing to make progress or be successful, and potential antidotes. From habits to fuel lines, and attention spans to grief, the ultimate message is that we must all hold each other accountable to reach out and notice just how common this 'Blah' feeling is, now and always.

Mindfulness and Meditation are concepts that are passed around a lot in the modern world. So, to provide some clarity, this week's guest is Learning and Development, Culture and Mindfulness Leader, Charles Morris. Working within the corporate world, Charles is fully aware of the importance of pressing pause, taking a break and focusing on breathing. In this conversation, Charles brings Jason and Chris onto a mindfulness journey - discussing avenues such as the 'bumpiness' of the beginning stages of exploration, the impacts of noise, and checking-in on our triggers. In a world where we are so focussed on the external, let's take a moment to turn a lens on to the internal.

This week, fitness guru, YouTube sensation and all-round positive guy, Patrick Lyons, joins Jason and Chris to talk about fitness. Chatting about how Covid-19 has impacted the industry, brain plasticity, and providing some tangible tips to get you started at home, this conversation has many levels.  Sharing his personal experiences and timeline, Patrick opens up our eyes by framing routine in a way that's magical more than daunting. And unfortunately, we may all have to accept it . . . you can not out-run a bad diet. The stories, case studies and research backs up this simple fact: the more we move, the more at our best we can be. 

How unhelpful, or helpful, is that little person inside your head? Let us guess - more likely to be extremely unhelpful, right? This week, climate activist, executive coach and educator, Julia Blaison, helps us disassociate and recognise that we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to being not at our best.  Discussing the theories and science behind negative bias, memories and threat states, saboteurs show up so differently in people, and it's how we use mindfulness and self-awareness to understand them better.  As neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barett said, "people don't lie about who they are - they rather lie to themselves in your presence."

Discovering your personal brand story is a real turning point in your life, hence why co-host Jason Moore wrote a book on it! This week, he chats with co-host Dr CK Bray and relatively-recent graduate and Producer, Sophie, about his book 'Who am I really? Uncover your Personal Brand Story'. 

"Your brand is what people say about you when you leave the room", said Jeff Bezos. Companies have brands. People have brands. Whether you like it or not, your brand defines you. It has an impact on almost every part of your life. Don't leave it to chance. In this practical workbook, readers can take a deep dive into the strengths, passions, values, personality and life history that have made you the person you are. How you write your personal brand story - the story you tell, through your words and actions, about who you are, really.

How can gratitude help us be at our best? To pick apart this big question, Jason and Chris are joined by facilitator, business coach and marketing guru, Fiona Coleman. Aside from some awesome practical tips, they explore the complexity of guilt and privilege, the sunshine and shadows of gratitude and how a moment of being present and not comparing can transform your psychology and physiology. As Zen Shin quoted, "a flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it - it just blooms."
