Benn is a 3 time olympian in the sport of Track and Field as a Discus thrower and is the Australian National record holder. He’s the first ever indigenous athlete to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and is currently living in Sweden working as the High Performance Director at one of Stockholm's Track and Field club, Hammirby Friidrot. I wanted to bring him onto the podcast, because his Life of impact filters from a few different perspectives, and I’m empowered by his Pride as an Olympian and his passion to give back to his communities that have supported him along his journey. Even if you’re not involved in sport at any level, you’ll get a lot from this one. In this episode you will learn: How the importance of embracing your culture can strengthen your deeper drive to succeed. Skills that athletes develop during their careers that make them more employable. The power of knowledge sharing and yarning circles Mental Health issues in sport from an insider's perspective The art behind flipping the bird, and throwing everything from pizza to prosthetic legs.

Ali Day is one of Australia’s best Surf Ironman athletes. He exemplifies Holistic Health and Excellence. He’s won the Nutri-Grain Ironman series and consistently been on the podium for this event and most notably has won the gruesome Coolangatta Gold 4 times. This event is a mixture of Surf Ski, Paddle Boarding, swimming and running, totalling a distance of almost 47km (or 29miles) including the transition runs. It. Is. Brutal! If I could sum Ali up in one word, it would be genuine. You know when you spend time with people and you resonate with them at an energetic level that makes you feel superhuman, that’s how I felt in the presence of Ali and his beautiful partner Kel. He is an athletic FREAK. His sport is really tough, and he conquers it mentally and physically, but he almost gave the sport away due to health problems and he takes us into that adversity and what changes he made to help him not only recover, but then dominate his sport and not suffer those same health problems ever again.

He’s a track and field coach, who coached Donovan Bailey to Gold in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and has coached many other World Championship and Olympic medals in his time, including Gold to Greg Rutherford in the 2012 Olympics and Silver to Australia’s very own Aussie, Fabrice Lapierre at the 2015 World Championships in the Long Jump, where his other athlete, that darn Englishman again, Greg Rutherford, won the Gold medal.

I’ve shadowed Dan numerous times over the years and he’s helped mentor me into the coach and therapist I am today.

Nam talks to us about the work he’s done with Mick Fanning and helping him overcome massive adversities in his life and how Mick is now using these adversities to his advantage. I asked Nam to take us through a short breathing exercise which lasts a few minutes and he explains some basic processes to help improve your energetic state and become more present. We really do dig into a lot in this one and I get super excited, because as a coach and having the opportunity to work with and chat with like-minded humans who are experts in their fields, it’s powerful! * Flow is the ability of our brains to get the best out of its function and into an activity where there’s minimal conscious thinking so we can perform the required task at hand to the best of our ability.
