Simple Minds Podcast

Have you ever noticed that most of us live in survival mode instead of living in creation mode? Is it possible to overcome the negative consequences of chronic stress? We discuss this in today’s episode!

Why do we get in our own way? Most of us can detect certain major themes or beliefs in our lives that keep resurfacing regularly. And sometimes, these beliefs get in the way of growth and success. They’re a bit like moving sand - the more we struggle with them, the deeper we sink.

For many businesses, the current COVID crisis is just the eye of the storm. There are quite a few obstacles that will stand in the way of recovery as soon as the JobKeeper program ends. In today’s episode, the Simple Minds crew is chatting about these obstacles and how to overcome them!

How often do you REALLY listen to the other person in a conversation? Most of the time, we simply listen while our minds work on the reply! So what really makes a GOOD listener? The SMP lads will be discussing this topic in today’s episode!

You probably already know by now: SMP is now 100 episodes old!

Today we’re chatting about the lifelong journey of getting to know ourselves, with all its twists and turns. What sparks the desire to get to know oneself? What are the tools that help us on our journey to self-discovery and self-development? The lads share their stories and the lessons they’re learned over the years.

In this episode, which was recorded on Zoom a few weeks back, the SMP lads have an insightful chat with Greg Hire about all things mental health. Can we turn our vulnerability into strength?

In this episode, recorded soon after the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant, we reflect on the lessons we’ve learned from the basketball legend. What was the mindset that helped him climb to the top and how can we apply it in our own lives?

In this iso episode, recorded a few weeks back on Zoom, the lads chat about how important mindset is in challenging times and share their own tips to keep things balanced in these uncertain times.

In this episode, recorded before the COVID-19 restrictions were put in place, the SMP crew has some fun with a short quiz that reveals what kind of entrepreneurs they are. Which also raises the question: what exactly makes a good entrepreneur?

Everyone cracks at some point! What is the difference between pressure and stress and how can we overcome difficult situations in life? In this episode, recorded before the COVID-19 restrictions, Justin and the lads discuss the different methods of reducing stress they’ve tested throughout the years.

Inspired by the words of Sadhguru on the topic of whether people would accept a modern-day Jesus Christ, Conrad asks the guy about the blocks we put in front of ourselves when presented with an opportunity for change. Why do so many people refuse to capitalise on the opportunities in front of them.

Both Travis and Justin have turned thirty in the past week and it’s got Trav thinking. Why do we have milestones and can focusing on these things actually be more detrimental than helpful? The lads have a series of questions on just what the hell Travis is getting at too so this should be interesting.

Justin has been reading a lot lately on the topic of motivation. As a result, he’s also spent a good deal of time ruminating on the concept of motivating himself and the tools we use to make things happen. Sometimes, those things lead down some strange roads, as the lads are about to find out...

Matt recently got a blood pressure test and realised how much stress he was putting himself under to get things done at a certain pace. He couldn’t help but wonder what sort of long term damage this was doing to him and so decided to ask the lads how they work and what can change in our own work habits.
