#5 - Gary Fahey

Gary Fahey is a mental strength and performance specialist, highly sought-after speaker and bestselling author who embodies the mantra of “Lived it, Learned it, Earned it.” His unique Brutal Honesty brand was forged through 18 years with the Australian Federal Police, where he led the Australian Prime Minister’s Personal Protection Team and managed the Office of Commissioner. A deep, dark and destructive battle with mental health and gambling addiction cost him $2 million, his career, his reputation and saw him question the value of his own life – but he refused to go down without a fight. Utilising a combination of formal and informal education, expert coaching and mentoring, trial and error, hard work and just a pinch of pain, Gary developed his own practical systems and strategies. Holding a Masters of Brain and Mind Sciences and undertaking a PhD in Psychology Gary now works with high performing individuals, teams and businesses to overcome obstacles in their own search for purpose and peak performance. The Deep 21 is an exploration of meaningful conversations, where I invite guests from various walks of life to share their stories, insights, and reflections. Each episode is focused on 20 carefully crafted questions designed to dive deep into the guest’s personal experiences, beliefs, and motivations and a unique 21st question, tailored specifically for each guest, adds an unexpected layer to the conversation.  With an intimate and thought-provoking approach, The Deep 21 aims to create a space for vulnerability, authenticity, and connection, helping listeners gain new perspectives on life, success, and personal growth.
