About the show

The reason I started this podcast was to take a trip into the treasure chest of high-performers – world-class athletes & coaches, international artists & seriously influential community leaders - to discover the strategies they use to achieve what they’ve achieved; how they were able to walk the valley of shadows & overcome these challenges; & how they stay on top of their own mental health & wellness in order to live their most inspired life. I have made sure that each conversation will offer you insights & tools to take-away & implement in your own life, for greater personal & professional achievement, happiness & fulfilment.

EP034 - Adam Sellars - World Championship Freediver and Founder of The Pressure Project

Over the past number of years, Adam Sellars has been on what could be described as a spiritual journey that has culminated in the colliding of two worlds that have shaped the person he is today. As an athlete, Adam always grappled with the pressure that is part and parcel of the sporting experience, and in his own personal battles with the pressures in life which at one point threatened to cripple and derail him altogether. But Adam’s eyes were opened when he discovered the misunderstood sport of freediving, which allowed him to embrace a new way of living and coping with the pressures and stresses. What Adam discovered he now shares with teams, organisations and individuals alike. The principles of meditation, power of breath and breath hold, and the ability to overcome limiting beliefs is what Adam has used to empower himself and others. He then created The Pressure Project - offering freediving courses, corporate speaking, coaching, breath workshops, and incredible local and international retreats. These experiences allow Adam and The Pressure Project to succeed in their mission of helping people release themselves from self-defeating thought patterns so they can unlock their full potential, reach goals, and live a full and happy life. Hold your breath - we’re diving in with Adam Sellars of The Pressure Project (... and, yes, of The Bachelorette Australia). Do you want to find a new level of personal potential?!

In a sport where ice-cold mountains replace the heat of his homeland, Christian's journey exemplifies the remarkable fusion of determination, adaptability, and a relentless spirit. The complexities of the Iditarod take on a unique hue when viewed through the lens of an Australian musher.

The initial cultural and environmental shock only fueled his determination to conquer the complexities of this iconic race. For Christian, the challenges transcend the trail itself. Adapting to the sub-zero temperatures, understanding the nuances of snow conditions, and forging a bond with sled dogs amidst a landscape vastly different from Australia presented formidable hurdles. His journey is not just a physical test but a testament to the human ability to adapt, learn, and thrive in the face of the unknown. The Iditarod demands strategic prowess and a deep understanding of the unique challenges posed by the Alaskan wilderness. Christian Turner, with an unwavering spirit, meticulously plans his approach to the race. Navigating through icy expanses, overcoming unpredictable weather patterns, and strategically managing the energy of his sled dogs, he embraces the complexities with a tenacity that resonates with the unbreakable Aussie spirit. Off the trail, Christian becomes a cultural ambassador, sharing his story with fellow Australians and the global community. Through his journey, he not only breaks barriers but also highlights the universal language of human perseverance and the shared bond between humans and animals. In the tale of Christian Turner, the complexities of the Iditarod become a canvas on which an Australian adventurer paints a narrative of resilience, cultural exchange, and the unyielding pursuit of dreams. His story echoes across continents, proving that the spirit of adventure knows no borders, and the call of the wild can inspire courage in even the most unexpected corners of the globe.

EP026 - Ryan Tiene - The Aussie OG of Backcountry Snowboarding

Let me paint you a picture... You're standing at the bottom of a mountain range that rises so high into the sky that clouds hide its peak. The sound of helicopter blades whomp whomp behind you - a call to arms. You eye the spine (snowpack on a mountain side) you desire to ride... it's GO time! Aboard the chopper, you visualise leaping from feature to feature (rock to rock) on a finely shaped plank of half-inch ply strapped to your feet... and riding out the bottom safely, soundly and to the sound of your crew losing their sh*t! At the peak, you look dooooooooown - it's not so easy to see the bottom... How do you develop the confidence (trust), presence (of mind, heart & soul) and belief (faith) that you can - and will - execute your plan? In EP026, the Aussie OG of backcountry snowboarding, Ryan Tiene, opens up about his process - walking us through step-by-step on how he was able to master his craft on some of the craziest terrains and parks all over the world. Riding for huge brands like Oakley and DC Shoes, there was pressure to deliver HUGE parts in feature films - so how do you keep your head in the process when everyone is counting on your for the result? And when the boyhood dream is over - what then??? 🏔 EP026 with Ryan Tiene is brought to you by Project Blank, Electric Eyewear, Highbration Organics and the Chumpy Pullin Foundation.
