Risking Failure
Summary: A project developed to explore conversations and ideas of ordinary people leading "so-called ordinary lives". The show focuses on topics such as various human experiences of authentic living, mindfulness, vulnerability, spirituality, ethics, morality, work, play, entrepreneurship, travel, meditation, love, relationships and subjects and ideas that bring growth. The project was developed by co-hosts Mark Dobson (aka Dobbo) and Mick Dunn, and seeks to expand beyond the personal development industry, to access the remarkable ideas and actions of everyday thinkers who have profound insights and experiences to share.

Looking back to 2015 – It’s hard to believe we recorded this given that the “Kondo” method exploded across the world to the point of becoming slightly annoying! But let’s just say we caught on to the craze a lot earlier than when it really hit the tipping point!! Time to think, consider, ponder and […]
In this episode we re-visit our year end conversation about… well “Year End & Year Beginning”. Rather than talk about goals and things we want to achieve, we’ve soaked into some ideas about what kind of themes we’d like to revisit or come back to and explore this year. The idea is that we’re going […]
In this episode, we chatted about a bunch of things that sometimes society considers to be “taboo”. We started in talking about social media and some observations on balancing the life we actually live, and the “online life” that provides feedback on our lived experience in a way that’s not always helpful or even wanted! […]
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! It’s a wrap folks – 2015 is done and Chrissy & Holiday are here! How was your year?

In this […]
In part 2 of our conversation with Colin Dobson (Dobbo’s Dad), we dig deep into discussions on memories, sentiment and dive into a bit of “new age bullshit” as we test the boundaries of generation to generation!
So happy to introduce our amazing guest this week, whom without this podcast would not be possible – literally. Mr Colin Dobson is Dobbo’s Dad and is our wise master for two amazing episodes of Risking Failure. We cover a lot of ground here folks, and Colin’s insights and wisdom gives a perspective from the […]

This week, we talked about a podcast episode from the Tim Ferriss show from August 26th 2015 called “How to Build a World Class Network”. Now listen up – this is a new avenue that we’re starting to play with on the show. It’s kind of like a podcasting book club. Each week, we’ll be […]
So the project that we’re working on here at Risking Failure is going to begin to take a very slightly different path. The idea remains the same, but we’re going to try out a slightly new approach that involves you the listener, and knowing about topics a little in advance of each episode… More about […]
In this episode, we covered multiple topics. Starting with the issue of Decision Fatigue – specific to food. Mick shared a recent experiment regarding lunch time meals, and how the decision fatigue can be such a crippling issue when it comes to diet in particular. “I can never decide what to eat, so it becomes […]
In this week’s episode we’re joined by our friend and guest Bronagh. Our topic was the subject of telling the truth, and the challenges of telling the truth – and whether it really sets you free. We explored “little white lies” that we all tell, from time to time. “I’ll be there in 10 minutes”, […]
This episode ties partly with an episode of the Tim Ferriss show that both of us listened to, and compared notes on afterwards. Here’s a link to that episode if you wish to listen to it first http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/05/20/google-x/ Of all the world views that we carry with us through the world, what we think about […]
In this PART 2 discussion with Australian Memory Champion Tansel Ali, we hit record after a couple minutes of finishing Part 1.
