Welcome to episode number 150 of the podcast. Today’s episode is very open, honest and raw around mental health, depression and suicide. Please be aware of this before you start to listen.

Today’s episode is the proudest I have been since starting this podcast three years ago. This episode was really confronting for Dad and myself. We were both extremely nervous as you will be able to tell at the start of the conversation. The reason I wanted to share Dad’s story was for myself to show how far we have come over the past twenty years as father and son, but also to help others around mental health and starting conversations.

I am really proud of Dad and the outstanding work he has done on himself and 100’s of others over the years. If today’s chat helps one other person, it is a win for both of us. I love my father very much and am honoured to have him on the podcast for the 150th episode.

If you would like to reach other to Kevin or myself, you can do so on the following links below, and I will pass it all on to him for you. Thanks again for everyone’s support, love and kind words on the podcast. It is something that I am very proud of, and cant wait to continue delivering awesome guests in the future. Have a great day, everyone. Cheers Dale

Today’s guest Kaley Chu has done something that really caught my eye. In 2018 Kaley set herself a new years resolution challenge: to have lunch with 100 strangers throughout the year. Not only did she complete this challenge, but she has taken all the unexpected lessons from these lunches and poured them into a book. At the start of 2018, Kaley was struggling to move ahead in my life, and she knew something had to change, so she embarked on this new and exciting challenge.

Kaley shares the 15 principles she has learnt from her lunches as well as a lot more in today’s chat. This episode will have several key takeaways for anyone wanting to step outside of their comfort zone and challenge themselves.

You can buy the book and learn more about Kaley on the links below:

Stop whatever you are doing and make sure this episode is the only podcast you listen to this year. I can’t describe in words how inspirational and life-changing this weeks episode is. 

Today’s guest James Greenfields is someone that my father asked me to have on the show after listening to him speak twice in a group he runs called ‘talking straight’ in Shepparton. Dad said that James was the most inspirational person he has ever heard speak and that my audience has to hear from him. So that’s what I have done, and it’s simply brilliant. 

James is a motivational speaker and emotional literacy facilitator who specialized in helping men, both young and older, how to find their direction in life. He is the co-founder of the Resilient Leaders Foundation and creator of the Superhero Pilgrimage. 

We talk about been the commander of over 100 soldiers in Iraq and being blown up by a tank, then coming home from war and dealing with several personal issues. James talks about the road to taking back control of his life, and how that everyone can do this with hard work, accountability and the knowledge that life can be beautiful and brilliant each and every day if we allow it to be. 

After today’s chat, I personally know that you will be blown away, and you can reach out to Jame’s through the following avenues to thank him for the work he is doing and also to sign up to one of his courses. 

Check out Jame’s website www.resilentleadersfoundation.org

Thank you so much for your time today Jame’s, this episode is going to help many people, and I am incredibly grateful for your time.
