Masters of Change

Its been a while, and this episode talks about my recent trip to URBNSURF Melbourne. Its a tough place to surf but you learn a lot about the technique of surfing and also how to be uncomfortable and nervous, and to overcome this to get the rewards at the end. Its not an inexpensive experience but is well worth the effort and my surfing has improved because of this experience.

Goerge lives in the State of Miami, so this weeks podcast has only one of us in the kombi but lived up to all my expectations. George talks about the way he uses mind tricks to help him get distracted and pass time more quickly during his long planks. He's an ex Marine and DEA agent with a tendency to want to test the rules and make life a little more interesting. We finish off with a quick chat about COVID, the vaccines and of course TRUMP.

An inspiring chat with Nige about the big challenges he has faced over the past 5 or 6 years and particularly how even the doctors are amazed he wasn't killed by the heart attack he endured, which included a full blockage of the LAD (widow maker). We talk about his divorce, his kids, the new love of his life and how none of these setbacks have stopped him from competing in Ironman triathlons with the long term goal still, of doing the iconic Hawaiian Ironman. Previous guest on the podcast, Matt White described Nige as one of the nicest guys you could meet, which I can confirm after our friendly and open chat. He rocked up to my beautiful Kombi "Ruby" and greeted me with a beaming smile and a warm handshake and this continued with a really open and warmly genuine kombisation.

MASTERS OF CHANGE 28 * 16th APRIL 2024 Mark "Kirts" Kirtland joins me this week for my first official podcast conversation in Ruby, my adorable 1974 Kombi. We sat in Ruby at the beach here in South Australia, with the wind and waves in the background, and chatted for over an hour about Mark's incredible resilience and determination to overcome many health issues and injuries and achieve sporting and business success, but most importantly maintaining family balance. Kirts is a highly organised and driven man, and believes much of his success is due to good planning and a high level of resilience. I delve deep into this side of Kirts and he very genuinely and openly talks about is health issues as well as the amazing change to his life when he was reunited with his son.

MASTERS OF CHANGE 27 * 9th FEBRUARY 2024 Animal Doctor, Mountaineer, Waterman, Bagaule, Ironman: Brendan Batt is the latest guest on the podcast and he really is one of the most adventurous and passionate guest to have a chat on the Masters of Change podcast. We dive deep and talk about his heart attack that began at the start of his first ever triathlon, The Texas Ironman. His recovery has been astounding and proves that all heart attack experienced people can get back to full power and get back to setting their high goals and continue their passionate driven lifestyle. He lives in New Orleans and loves to go deep dive fishing, he surfs, he loves high altitude climbing and it seems his thirst for adventure is limitless.

MASTERS OF CHANGE 26 * 27th NOVEMBER 2023 This week I chat to a lifelong friend of mine, Wayne Copley, about the lead up to his Quadruple bypass. Wayne is extremely honest about how he blissfully and stoically ignored the numerous warning signs that a possible heart attack was only around the corner. We discuss these signs and delve further into Wayne's belief that perhaps he was destined to have this happen due to genetics and that maybe there was no way to avoid it. Wayne is an extremely lucky man, and could have died at anytime during a 4 week period where, in my opinion, he was literally flouting with death. If things had progressed any further, whilst he was on an aeroplane to Darwin, in the car on a trip to Mildura or whilst playing cricket, Wayne would not be here to tell his story.

MASTERS OF CHANGE 25 * 7th NOVEMBER 2023 A very special chat with Sprint Paramedic Corinna Koch, she lead the team that saved my life from a major cardiac arrest. This is about the real battle with death, after having my heart stop and being brought back to life, to then face the battle to get to hospital to have life saving surgery. In the back of the ambulance, clinging to life, I knew I was in trouble , and perhaps at best was a 50/50 chance of surviving this major attack that literally came from no where. I was counting the seconds and savouring every laboured shallow breath, two strong thoughts kept me in this game of life. Firstly, I had NO REGRETS, secondly , I want to keep living this way for another 20 or 30 years. Todays podcast with this amazing person who saved my life, details this confronting experience I had and my battle and desire to live, to not only live but to continue my journey to become the person Im meant to be and to live life to the fullest.

My good friend Joe returns to the podcast for a fantastic chat about his interesting journey over the past year. We talk about relationship breakups, Femininity and Masculinity, Marriage, What Women Want,  Fitness & Fasting, How to Keep a Long Term Relationship Interesting, Mistakes Men Make and much much more. Hes working hard to build his Sour Dough business and to re-establish a relationship with the girl he loves. He has been reading books and working in the gym in order to find his purpose again and to become the person and man hes meant to be. He highly recommends the book " How to Be a 3% Man" by Corey Wayne. You can support Joe by ordering his sourdough bread at www.nastikitchen.com.

A really rewarding day, sorry for the 10 minute 5min Monday but I wanted you to actually hear the audio recordings I did throughout the day. Other than that, no phone usage, phone on Airplane mode, no music or podcasts, entirely on my own with no agenda. I went through the whole cycle of excitement, negativity, acceptance, calmness, chlllness, getting into the "zone", and a sense of achievement. 12 hours later and 60 kms I became so relaxed and had such a feeling of clarity.

Dr Graham Lyons spent most of his early years working hard on the family farm learning all there is to know about managing cattle and how to successfully manage a farm. Not wanting to settle for too long he decided to travel the world for over two years, giving him a wealth of experience, knowledge and fascinating stories that left me wanting to hear more. Later in life he had an incredible desire to change his life and decided to go to university and work towards a PHD and put his intellect and determination to good use. His incredible desire to learn and to get to the bottom of things not only enabled him to become a doctor but also assisted him in becoming extremely educated in the COVID world and an expert about the truth of whats been happening over the past couple of years. Hes done hes research, hes highly educated, highly driven and inspired to help get to the bottom of this craziness we have been exposed to over this period. Furthermore, hes a wonderful story teller and one of the most interesting and entertaining people Ive ever met.

Your host Pete talks about his "rebirth" after his 30 day surfing trip to Bali, after the loss of 3 of his best mates, one died from MND and the other two disappeared. Pete also talks about a new movie he saw recently called "ELVIS" and the profound effect it had on him and its relevance to what we have all experienced in the last couple of years with this COVID crap.

……….. How Does it see You?  

Imagine it, Conceive it, Think About It and Picture It  

Holding a grudge and constant resentment is not only bad for your health but also for all of your relationships. It will stop you from making change and handling change and will ultimately be the acid and toxicity that poisons your soul and destroys you.  

Dont stay tied to your past, make changes and create your future path and a different past.      

3 easy steps to help you create a new you for 2021.   I can see Clearly Now – Johnny Nash  (Youtube)  

We all crave it, should we achieve it through solidarity or through self reliance?  

Do you have a Balanced ego?   “There is nothing that strengthens the ego more than Being Right”………….Eckart Tolle  

Compare yourself with who you were yesterday not with who someone else is today.  

Accept every moment, stop resisting and giving  in to that nasty ego, that only tries to derail you and put you down. That takes far too  too much energy.   Accept the moment, you deserve it.      

Should you be striving for daily happiness or a higher purpose, with true meaning.  

Acceptance of every moment, every situation and learning how to be grateful for all the small things around you can lead you to a path of ease, peace and bliss.  

A great message from one of my listeners, saying they meditate and do yoga but still cant see the oportunity.   Its not easy, if its not working then its time to try a different approach and/or consider that other forces are holding you back. The key is to identify this, create a lifestyle that allows you to try other…

Take ten minutes at the start of your week with a blank piece of paper, just write anything, maybe your good points, maybe some goals, maybe some passions.   Believe in yourself, address your needs, and then embrace opportunities when they start to arise. Be aware, be watchful and pay attention, because opportunity will present itself once you embrace these…

You need to be brave, become a fool and face the fear, let the ego go, to move forward and then create  the space  to  look at yourself, and become who you were meant to be.  

What is your true nature and how can you get back in touch with it?  This is what will help you to become more creative, in tune, and available, to then continue to find what you were born and meant to do.   Watch others this week and observe how far away from their true nature they are, how their…

“Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued, it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect effect of ones personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself” – Viktor Frankl
