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.

Death is the one thing we all have in common, and yet it is a subject we talk about (really talk about) so rarely. This week we explored this subject, shared a few experiences and reflected on the ways we deal with our own mortality. SHOW NOTES: During the episode, we referred to two different […]
Campbell Butterss talks about overcoming a struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, and how after numerous attempts he conquered it from the “Inside Out”. Today he’s building a brand helping share what he’s learned.
What is it that really defines a legacy? Is it a body of work, or a story we tell? Are there categories? Seriously… what do we mean when we say “legacy”?? That was the topic this week, and we explored a lot of different ideas around the topic.
Recently we compiled a collection of some fun we’ve had with this project so far. Some embarrassing stuff, some stupid stuff and of course some moments you may already recognize. Mostly where Dobbo is “Taking the Micky” out of… well, Mick.
Sharn McNeill was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) after almost a year of tests. The diagnosis bought her life to a screeching halt, and became the beginning of what has already been an incredible and inspiring journey. Within the last year, Sharn has gone from diagnosis to being awarded the Beacon of Courage […]
So how do we find our calling? Or is it even something to be found? This week we shared our own findings on consistencies and questions that have helped in our own journeys, and discussed a listener topic idea – “How can one know they’re in the right job? We […]
What do we do in the “small” moments? The “tough” moments? This week we talked about how we are positioning ourselves, and how that impacts the outcome of our relationships in all areas of life. Are we the person who is always trying to be right, strong, loving, challenging, understanding, […]
What assumptions do we have about work habits? I thought this photo was an intriguing one – Sometimes we should maybe stop and look at our lifestyles and do some experiments to test what dumb stuff we’ve put into pattern mode… Don’t get me wrong, we aren’t saying we have […]
Are we spending our time being busy or being productive? How many hours of “potent” work can we get in a week, and are we trying to prove something or respond to what we “should” be doing? That’s what we talked about this week, and we created some experiments to […]
We’ve all had those moments where something happens or we have an interaction with someone that paralyzes our thoughts, actions or minds. This week we talked about these experiences, and shared our own perspective. We honestly wrestled around with this one, and concluded that it’s much bigger than we imagined… […]
When we got back on the horn again this week, the topic of overwhelm was still at hand! Mick talked about how he’d now had the same week as Dobbo the week before… Overwhelm! But this time, we felt really good about the conclusions we drew from revisiting this subject and […]
What do falling leaves and pool pumps have in common? Well this week, Dobbo was “under the pump” and offered up his fairly ordinary week as a platform to explore why he got to a point of feeling like too much was happening. We discussed what critical decisions were made […]
This week, the universe conspired to provide a message… Or did it? Are we sometimes being looked after? Or sometimes not being look after? This episode we get lofty talking about whether we should surrender to the universe, go with the flow or just maybe admit it’s all a bunch […]
On Christmas Eve of 2013, Danny English and a small group of dedicated friends around the globe did something that was probably the last thing on anyone’s mind. They ran an ultra-marathon to raise money for a village in the Philippines. Listen in as Danny talks about how enough money […]
After new year resolutions and discussions of “change” and “terror” – this week we talk about what it takes to create some terror, and whether it’s the right kind… and if we’re ready for it. What’s the difference between creating change for the sake of change, or change for the […]
