Here is a summary of our upcoming episode with Zachary Payne. Listen to the full conversation on Monday.

Part 2: Reflections, Life Lessons, and Entrepreneurship This section begins with the interviewer noting the transition from Zuzana's athletic story to discussions of philosophy and mentorship. Zuzana reflects on her Olympic race in Beijing at 21, where despite a personal best, she felt like a failure due to her coach's negativity and her own high expectations. This contrasts with her European U23 Championships where she won silver and felt genuine pride. She reveals that her motivation often stemmed from proving people wrong, particularly a youth coach who told her she'd never make it to the Olympics.A pivotal moment for Zuzana was her hitchhiking trip through England and Scotland at 16, which fostered her independence, ignited her desire to learn English, and broadened her worldview beyond her small hometown. She emphasizes the importance of this independence, and how she strives to pass it on to her children, encouraging them to explore and make their own choices.After retiring from sport at 25, Zuzana found a new challenge in business, opening her first coffee shop in Canberra with her husband, Evan, 11 years ago. Despite being told they were "crazy" and had no experience, their first coffee shop, "Super Fine Coffee," is still successful today. She advises aspiring business owners to thoroughly consider the commitment required, highlighting that it's a 24/7 responsibility, not a 9-to-5 job. What makes it worthwhile for her is the opportunity to connect with people and build community, seeing her coffee shop as a hub for human connection and positive daily impact.Zuzana's current passion revolves around her family and raising "good humans," a desire that led her and Evan to live in the Czech Republic for four years to be near her supportive family, despite Evan's "hidden agenda" of pursuing bobsledding. She views her family as "the most beautiful in the world," providing unconditional love and support. The interview concludes with a philosophical question about "who you are when no one's watching," which Zuzana answers by expressing her core desire for happiness, positivity, and ensuring the happiness of those around her, valuing connections and simple joys over material possessions.YouTube Music Codes: TIDDQ9KH5YHSMGSI

Part 1: Early Life, Athletic Journey, and Olympic Pursuit This section covers Zuzana O'Hanlon's upbringing in the Czech Republic, describing her childhood as simple, filled with love and care, despite her parents not coming from money. She grew up in a town of 1,000 people, but was close to larger cities. Her childhood involved a lot of outdoor activity, including hiking up to 30km at seven years old, which contributed to her natural physical ability. Her father, a sporty individual who didn't have the opportunity to pursue his athletic dreams due to military service, pushed his children into sports. Zuzana started athletics at 13, trying various events and excelling as an all-rounder. She eventually became proficient in race walking, a sport she "didn't choose" but that "chose her," partly due to her natural leg shape and flexibility gained from Latina dancing.Her journey towards professional athletics intensified when she moved to Prague at 18 for university, where she was coached by the national racewalking coach. She pursued a degree in tax and accounting, a decision influenced by her mother and practical for balancing with her training. Despite a rapid ascent, qualifying for the European Champs and almost the World Champs by her first year of university, her coach's intense, demanding, and at times "cruel" communist-bloc mentality pushed her to become a "robot" focused solely on results. This coaching style led to significant mental health challenges for Zuzana and other athletes, with some experiencing eating disorders due to the pressure to win at all costs.YouTube Music Codes: WUCRQRUKN9JT1HTT

61/62 Evan O’Hanlon:In this episode of Between Views, host Alec Kosky welcomes Evan O'Hanlon, a former Paralympic sprinter and bobsledder turned accessibility consultant and cafe co-owner. The episode delves into Evan's inspiring journey from being diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child to achieving global success as a Paralympic athlete, winning three gold medals in Beijing and two in London. The conversation explores his transition from athletics to bobsledding, driven by a desire for new challenges, and his current work in accessibility consulting, which combines his lived experience with disability and his landscape architecture expertise. Evan's story is one of resilience, adaptability, and finding purpose through family and meaningful work, offering listeners insights into overcoming limitations and embracing curiosity.On Living with Cerebral Palsy: "I was born with cerebral palsy... If I was to walk down the street, you wouldn't know that I have anything wrong with me... I had probably perfect cerebral palsy in that my damage happened... just early enough that I was able to still have so much plasticity in my brain." This highlights Evan's mild form of cerebral palsy, diagnosed at age two, and how early intervention and brain plasticity allowed him to lead an active life with minimal visible impact.On Becoming a Paralympic Athlete: "I was relatively talented as a primary school kid... A coach at high school recognized that and got me in touch with the right people... I was on a plane to compete overseas 4 or 5 months later." This underscores how a serendipitous connection with a coach led Evan to Paralympic sprinting, competing in the T-38 class and achieving early success on the world stage.On the Adrenaline of Bobsledding: "It's like the adrenaline rush of sprinting times a million... You're standing at the top of the mountain... Everyone has fear in their eyes. If you're not scared, you're doing it wrong." Evan describes the intense thrill and fear of bobsledding, a sport he pursued post-athletics, highlighting the high-stakes nature of piloting a sled down an icy track.On Mentorship and Coaching: "She had a very good big picture plan... If I can look after him and keep him uninjured for the next ten, 15 years, then his peak will be at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games." Evan credits his coach, Irina, for her long-term vision and detailed approach, which shaped his 20-year career and taught him to manage stress through planning.On Life Lessons and Purpose: "Other people don't know what you're capable of... When someone says that you can't do something, that shouldn't be something that stops you from trying because they're generally wrong." Evan shares a core philosophy from his life, emphasizing resilience and the importance of proving doubters wrong through action and curiosity.YouTube Music Codes:Part 1:TYEEGDLNDJRM7CHSPart 2: ZXMGDGXJMJJZKYTU

How relationships end up being one of the only things we can grasp. The value of relationships for humanity. “Relationships are the only things that are necessary” “Would you rather be surrounded by food and bitterly lonely or dying of hunger and lying by your best friend?” Pierre’s thought experiment: Think of a well known country (your own) and and think about it from the perspective of ‘only’ what you hear about that country's government if all that you heard was media about that country's government. Then try to form a perspective of that country based on just that. “The one thing I want the book or journey to spark is : How much understanding is lost when we look at information that is only coming from one lens or place or ideology.” “I came back into the rest of the world saying… Woah…” YouTube Music License code: SCUYP2QOGVPDJUKH

We’ve got time to be serious about what we want to have strong opinions about.” A commentary of the self-enforcing loop of instagram and social media. The idea of cherry picking things to be informed and passionate about. “The romanticization of the journalist's mission to help others by informing.” Letting go of the objective and letting the trip’s unfoldings determine the stories which are captured. Why did Pierre go everywhere he could in Iran? Why Pierre opted to be as free-of-subjective-speech as possible. Invited to dinner with the ambassador of the South African Iranian consulate. Which hoops Pierre had to jump through before setting off for Iran. Pierre realises the depth of his own ignorance of Iran on arrival with the arrival of a happy little girl with a balloon in the street. “The benefit of pushing your limits is that things that were limits before suddenly become comfort zones.” “If you really need to get stuff done you need to push through the fear.” “Being comfortable in the unknown is a skillset you need with the world constantly changing.” “All of this is by design. I have chosen this and therein lies the difference.”  YouTube Music License code: G7FFLMIB9MUZCVKS

That’s when you’re a brand.”  Endorsement, social proof and the value given by our fellow man.  “I believe in manifestation but in the way that you have to clearly define that goal in your mind. You have to be able to picture it, feel it, taste it. And that guides you. It puts you in a position to be able to achieve that.”  "Play for all 5 people in the crowd. One of them could be the one who makes the change." “There is so much mediocre work going on in the world today that when you go above and beyond it really stands out.”  “The brand is always on.”  “1 person can influence 100 people. For each 1 person that supports you, you potentially add another 100 to your network.”  “Family. That’s one of my main values.”  “I believe how you treat your family is how you treat the world around you.”  “It starts with family values and it just expands out of that”  “I believe that we have to be the best that we can be.”  “The day you stop growing is the day you die.”  “How do we make this better?”  “It can always be better. It’s never the best.”  “I don’t want to ever chase money for the sake of money. I want to chase these other things: Craftsmanship, excellence, values, growth, connections, people. Everything else is just a biproduct of that. If my money has grown it’s just a bi-product of that.”  “I don’t believe this is a finite world. There’s plenty to go round. So we’re fine actually.”

Being part of something that’s bigger than you.  We were taught “When you’re a musician, when you’re on stage, you can’t just say I'm a musician, watch and listen. You’ve gotta perfrom. You’ve gotta give. You’ve gotta show emotion. You’ve gotta feel the music. And only then can any audience connect with you.  How a good mix of skills build a business well.   How family stick together in business.  “Our biggest value is authenticity. We never want to be fake. We never want to project something we are not. For whatever reason, we will not do it.”  “We want people who follow us to want to connect with us. It’s about connection.”  “Even if you connect with our music and you never give us a single dollar throughout our entire lives, we’re still happy to have met you, happy to have known you and happy to be with you.”  “In my opinion the best gift you can give someone is a song.”  “Only by truly giving out that gift you have, we will receive whatever it is that this universe has for us.”
