Her recent partnership with United Nations Association of Australia (UNAA) to highlight Goal #3 of Good Health and Wellbeing. “It is the most vitally important SDG through which all others will be able to be achieved.”The Hope Project is about shifting the culture of coping and existing, to one that is informed of what we need to thrive sustainably. This skill set is a powerful prevention tool of further social decay. This involves engaging educators to spread the message of living a mentally sustainable life. The AWAKE program teaches people how to recognise, understand and overcome their own life challenges, using the same strategies she used herself.Featured on CNN’s Vital Signs, Kate has helped many people to remember their humanity and reclaim their lives, going from surviving to thriving.

Ep 180Role of love
Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul to speak about love?His childhood experience was of the opposite of love, borne out of generations of abandonment, abuse and trauma. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside Paul, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. Paul wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In his book, you’ll find what helped him move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. The game he created off the back of the book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr Gary Chapman is literally a game-changer. It helped him, and helping many people around the world find the true role of love. This is a wonderful and essential conversation, that will inspire you, and transform you into a love language linguist, one roll of the die per day.

A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Clay Boatright has lived in Texas since 1994, where he and his wife Carole raised three daughters, including identical twins with severe intellectual disabilities and autism. On a crazy Friday night, when his twins were two, Clay allowed faith to step in and help him find his purpose. As a result, with undergrad and graduate degrees from the University of Memphis, Clay managed two full-time careers for almost twenty years, one in the consumer-packaged goods industry to pay the bills and another as a volunteer advocate for people with disabilities. Over the years, Clay developed a deep understanding of the disability industrial complex and served on a host of health and education advisory committees, including Board President for both The Arc of Dallas and The Arc of Texas. In 2011, President Barack Obama appointed Clay to the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities in Washington, DC, and in 2013, he was appointed Founding Chairman for Texas Health & Human Services’ IDD System Redesign Advisory Committee, which he held for six years.

From a young age, Naomi Pendergast showed a passion for movement and athletic pursuits. The first half of her life was dedicated to dancing, seeing her work professionally in Europe for 6 years. She has owned and run training studios, worked as a personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and movement coach for nearly 20 years. Being an avid athlete that has a keen interest in triathlon, she understands the demands of the sport and how tough it can be to fit in the training required to be race-ready while working 9-5 and dealing with life’s commitments. From this, RPX Fitness Online was born.In recent years Naomi has had the opportunity to work with a number of movie stars helping them gain physical fitness, strength, and agility for their role.Naomi is passionate about teaching people to change how they move to create a strong and resilient physique and a life of healthy movement.SHE BELIEVES GOOD MOVEMENT IS ESSENTIALGood movement is essential for maintaining a healthy and balanced muscular structure in the body. Very commonly healthy, fit people end up with unwanted injuries that could have been prevented through understanding how their body moves, how it should move, and how to move it safely. Most people seek out a trainer for a strength program, or for weight loss. At RPX her first and foremost goal is injury reduction and prevention by teaching people how to train themselves correctly. This is done by passing on over two decades of movement technique and specific training cues to each person so they can learn how to identify poor movement in their body, train themself correctly by knowing which exercises are right for their body, and improve daily movement and performance for a long life of good movement.This is a wonderful conversation, and a simple and powerful concept, with a very inspiring lady.

Ep 173Lay down the oars
I was privileged to meet Bill Williamson in September 2019. At the time he was the senior pastor at a church in the beautiful town of Yakima, Washington, USA. Myself and Dr Allan Meyer were speaking at his church to a group of men. At that time Bill didn't know of my struggles, and I didn't know his. However, we were both 'straining at the oars' in life. As I was finishing my talk I asked, 'if there is anyone who has it in their heart to write a book, let me know. Bill put up his hand and said, me!Soon after, Bill started writing his book Straining at the Oars, and soon after that his world started to unravel. God was giving him content to make sure his book would be one that could truly help people, because it was written with real life experiences in heart and mind. His marriage ended, COVID saw his job as a pastor terminate, and very soon he found himself battling depression, as he bounced from state to state, home to home, and job to job. He was truly 'straining at the oars'. He got through his struggles, published his book in 2023 and he says:This book, although not originally intended to be so, comes from a lot of painful experiences and mistakes I am still learning and recovering from. However, this book also comes from the many blessings I continue to receive as I encounter Christ in my personal “storms of life” I pray that this book will be a blessing to you or someone you know who is straining at the oars. I have three wonderful adult daughters, two amazing sons-in-law, and four beautiful grandchildren. Unfortunately, as I wrote this book, I saw my marriage of 38 years come to an end. I have been a Christian for most of my life. That doesn’t mean my life has been easy. I have been an ordained pastor for most of my adult life. That certainly didn’t make life any easier for me either.This is a wonderful conversation, with a courageous and inspiring man. It is one I know will fill you will hope and encouragement and give you strategies to help you lay down your oars and let the wind fill your sails.

Ep 170Leap of faith
Ilea Worsfold is now an exercise scientist, researcher, author and content creation specialist. She has experience in representing the interests of organisations that operate across the health, fitness, wellness and technology fields. She loves delivering research driven, innovative, unique and engaging advice to her brands that inspires their customers on their wellness journey. It has been an interesting journey for her to get to this place in her life, to loving her career, helping many people, married to a the man of her dreams, and with two beautiful children. It is a dream life, and she got there by following her intuition and taking one leap of faith after another. This does not mean it was easy, but it does give evidence to the power of trusting the gut feelings we all have, but often ignore.When asked, as a child, what she wanted to do when she grew up, Ilea said, 'I want to be a lawyer so I can buy a BMW'. She never became a lawyer, nor did she buy a BMW (yet). Instead she followed her gut and her first leap of faith led her to working in fraud investigation. After a while, she realised this was not her path and so started her own business doing what she is doing now. On the way, with many spontaneous actions, she has found herself exactly where she needs and wants to be in life. This is a conversation I believe every person needs to hear, and after listening I want to encourage you to take a leap of faith.

Ep 169Healed on day one
Ryan Peebles was ashamed, embarrassed, and angry. He had done everything to take care of his back, and yet he was broken. His back problems cast a shadow over his life for a decade. That time was painful, but it was also a journey of growth, where he developed an ever-evolving, deepening understanding of the body, which he will shares in this podcast.It all started when lower back pain side-lined Ryan from playing basketball as a junior in high school. He couldn’t lift weights anymore. And he couldn’t pursue his passion of surfing because he felt nerve damage every time he went. He had one chiropractor tell him, after looking at his x-ray, that he would be in a wheelchair by the time he was 30. That severely affected his psyche, so his mind, emotions and back was really messed up after that, and I felt hopeless.One day in 2010, he was curled up on my bedroom floor dwelling on his pain. It was his usual spot, but this time was different. Not only did he have his normal lower back pain, but both my knees hurt too. He also had neck pain, and could feel that his jaw was jutting forward, and his bite was even messed up! In that moment he knew… he would either have to accept his wheelchair-bound fate, or take responsibility in his own hands and become his own healer. So when he was 24 years old, he committed his life to healing his back.In the following years he became obsessed with research, consuming countless books and articles online. Eventually, he identified muscle imbalances as the cause of his back problem. This whole body concept resonated with him. It connected the dots and gave him an explanation for many of his body problems. It was a way to look at chronic injuries from a full body perspective. By continually adapting his personal routine as he learned, he found a process that gets to the "core" of the problem. Piece-by-piece, and day-by-day he created this unique program that teaches people how to retrain their body for healthy movement, and get out of pain for good.

Ep 157Poised for potential
Once upon a time Eva Sifis was a dancer working across Australia and performing in cabaret shows in Japan. When she sustained a serious Acquired Brain Injury in 1999 due to being hit by a car, that life ended. After a prolonged coma, a new one began. She refers to this time as her second childhood. The second one lasted just as long! She had to learn everything over again – walking, talking, relating and, most importantly, dealing with a new Eva. However, at the time she didn't realise she was actually poised for potential and purpose.She applied herself to recovery: physically, mentally and spiritually with great dedication. Through this very difficult period, she have realised a capability to overcome – to call on her resilience and strengths. Her physical needs were attended to very effectively within the system however she experienced a gap when it came to rejoining society. In order to actively integrate herself with the ‘outside world’, she both volunteered and worked widely within the national disability arts and advocacy arena. Through this her sense of self was bolstered and, while doing so, her direction has been laid before her.Advanced Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2009 was a huge challenge but she took the chance to re-evaluate her situation. She is now on the verge of her first book, and she is totally on purpose to live a life of joy and significance helping people all around the world. This is an incredible conversation with a wonderful lady.To find out more about Eva, Click here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

Ep 156A pristine health scene
For most of early life, Andrea Nicholson followed mainstream health advice, blindly trusting what she was told. She's tried all of the standard diets and advice, only to find herself continually getting sicker. From carb-addict and vegetarian, to low fat and low calorie, and from extreme workout to another, she did some serious damage to my body. But how could eating all those vegetables be bad? Because they're all carbs! She was seriously nutrient deficient, lacking in quality proteins and healthy fats, and left with high inflammation, a bloated and irritated gut, and flat-lined energy. Even though those vegetables were filled with nutrients and fibre, she wasn't absorbing any of those nutrients and even with the fibre, she had decimated my gut microbes. Functional testing showed she had very little microbial activity and even less diversity. Clearly this was NOT the path for her. Ultimately, she took her health into her own hands, did her own research, ordered functional tests, and used technologies to uncover her personal imbalances. She started doing the opposite of most of the common advice to restore her body - more quality proteins from animal sources, more healthy fats including saturated fats, far less carbohydrates (even fruits and vegetable sources), and eating far less often. Now, she is healthier and more vibrant than she has ever been and has maintained the results for years. No more bloating, constipation, migraines, stiff muscles, or fatigue. Effortless weight loss and it's been easy to maintain. Now Andrea uses everything she has learned from her own journey and education to help others, and she is passionate about making a difference in many lives. This is a wonderfully practical and empowering conversation that I hope moves you into positive action.To find out more about Andrea, Click here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

Ep 153Self-love is not selfish
Bill Heinrich found success at a very young age. He was living in one of the most beautiful places on earth and from the outside everything looked perfect, but something was always missing. Surrounded by material success, with everything in place by normal standards, he found myself dissatisfied and nothing seemed to fill the emptiness inside. No matter how much money he made or how successful he was he never felt whole. Painfully aware that something was lacking, Bill continued to try to fill the empty space he felt inside. Over the course of time, this feeling got worse, never better, no matter what he did.It was almost 30 years ago that he was so miserable he walked out the door to change his life and never looked back. Since that time he has experienced many ups and downs along his path of personal growth. At each stage, he's gained new perspectives, and those new perspectives in turn created more opportunities for growth, and more realizations which have allowed him to see and understand the world with more insight and wisdom.For Bill, personal transformation is at the core of his essence, it is who he is. He has walked in your shoes and knows that, whilst experiences might not have been exactly the same and perhaps he has not had the same authoritative people or groups, or geographic influences in his life, but he knows we are all more alike than you can imagine. If you’re looking for a way to make lasting changes in your life – changes that are always going to be for the better - then this is podcast to listen to. There are many great moments including the belief that self-love is not selfish. Enjoy this remarkable conversation.To find out more about Bill, Click here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

Ep 152Keep moving forward
Martin Henry said: It was on my second 10-day residential healthy eating and living retreat that this principle finally sunk in, that the body was made to win, to thrive, to heal. Give it the right nutrition, the right training and conditions and it will do all it can to bring itself back to health. Of course there are many occasions when more than this is needed, I am all for Doctors and the medical world, but much of what we encounter our body is designed to overcome, and so it was with me.His own body, and those of his wife and three children, are all affected by the same chronic and incredibly debilitating condition that many would consider a barrier to living a joyful life. But, not the Henry family. No matter what they are experiencing they have dedicated themselves to finding joy and gratitude every day, but also moving forward no matter hard it may seem. It has been this trudging to triumph which saw Martin become incredible successful in business, and then help navigate his family though the day to day challenges of chronic issues.Martin is now a personal trainer, helping many, soon-to-be an author, and is changing lives every single day. This is one of the most inspiring conversations, with one of the most humble people I have ever had.

Imagine a world where people thought of themselves as whole and beautiful. A world where people knew how to heal themselves through daily self-care. That’s a world Cameron Tukapua wants to live in. Discovering Chinese medicine at aged 21 showed her a true view of reality. A world of energy where everything is connected and in right relationship to everything else. What Cameron loves about her life is facilitating connection to our original nature and a search for wholeness. Acupuncture rebalances the energies of the mind-body. It enlivens the innate healing power that lives inside all of us. Along with shifting the energy, she supports people to know and be themselves. Cosmology, ‘how to see our place in the universe’ is one of eight limbs of Chinese medicine. When we see the truth of life as energy, we tap into a source of power which is immeasurable and unlimited. When we listen to our own Hearts we live guided by our true Sovereign Ruler and the power of LOVE.Across 4 decades of healing practice Cameron valued sharing ancient wisdom teachings that empower us to show up as co-creators of our beautiful world. In the last two decades, she has created healing pathways which support people to listen to their own knowing as their ultimate guide in life. She has learned all she teaches after seeing the light during her own unsettling beginning to life.Currently Cameron sees a lot of lost, confused people trying to navigate the ‘non-sense’ of a weird world. At the same time she sees people everywhere waking up to the importance of taking charge of their lives. She believes grassroots change, from bottom up, is the essential healing remedy for our current health care crisis. Our health is up to us. It’s a choice. No-one else rules our mind.

Ep 149Win the day
Kathy White's own yoga journey began when she was 25 years old, many years ago. She hated aerobics (which was all the rage in the 80's) as it just made her face red, her blood pound and she felt awful afterwards! She wanted to try something else. She was a keen cyclist and swimmer and yoga fitted her personality. When she was in her 30's Yoga helped when she lost her first child - he was stillborn and she felt very very disconnected from her body when he died. Yoga gradually allowed her to regain that connection and helped her birth her two children. However Yoga, when she turned 50 was no longer working in the same way, or at least the practice she'd been doing until then was not addressing her stiff joints, sore back, and painful knees. Then she discovered Kaiut. An amazing practice from Brazil. She retrained and over the next 5 years and developed her Joint Renewal System (TM). So amazing the transformation, she can't even remember which knee it was that used to hurt so much.Kathy offers a 21-day challenge for anyone wanting to start and introduce simple daily yoga practice into their lives. I then threw a spanner in the works by talking about creating an unconscious routine of daily yoga, which will actually take at least 63 days. So, this conversation is devoted to helping people, who want to receive the ongoing benefits of yoga, to get through three 21 day cycles and change their lives for the better forever. All you really need to do is just Win the Day! This is a message that is vital, and can be applied to every area of life.

He had to stop dreaming about what he wanted - and begin to take massive action by applying the Law of GOYA. Everything changed through sobriety, walking, food and yoga. Many of his friends and colleagues urged him to use his metamorphosis to inspire others.At one point, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) reminded him that “your mess is your message.” Jack went on to join Michael's book launch for His #1 bestselling book, "Falling Down Getting UP”.

Ep 145Creativity is our superpower
Michaell Magrutsche’s talent is recognizing awareness to seed a new consciousness that allows us to unveil the untapped superpowers of human’s limitlessness, art/creativity, healthy discourse and adaptability to make all humans fit within our human tapestry. Because Michaell has been a sick child and because of his dyslexia and dysgraphia (hand eye coordination) he could only navigate in very few systems. Michaell was forced to find his salvation in art. Interacting and creating art outside of systems helped him feel human and got him through life. Michaell is completely self-taught. Art allowed him to experience life with other humans and 5 books later, Michaell produced with Robert Evans and became a City Arts Commissioner.Michaell discovered that creating art is humans greatest inherent superpower, followed by healthy dialogue and our adaptability. These superpowers are applicable to everything from Creativity, Leadership, Business, Education, Relationships and what else humans focus on. Today, Michaell keeps unveiling the limitations of all man-made systems like technology, science, economy and generalized knowledge to change systems to be more human adaptable instead of humans keep forcing themself to be system adaptive. This work raises our human potential instead of making us blinder and ignore our human worth for system values. Michaell believes we are wasting too much life force and energy on system navigation to achieve limited system value. This is a very powerful conversation that I plan to listen to multiple times. I hope you enjoy it.Here is a short teaser by Michaell, click here.To find out more about Michaell, Click here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

Ep 144End body burnout
Filipa and Chris Bellette are having a profound and positive impact on lives all around the world. But, it wasn't always like that...Filipa found her body is breaking down, as she was trying to juggle the demands of motherhood & building a business. It was crushing and debilitating and she was searching for answers, for solutions - for YEARS. She tried this way of eating. She tried that supplement. She tried this doctor. That practitioner. Some things helped reduce symptoms. Yet she still wasn’t getting to the root cause of her health issues. This led Filly to be treated by one of the world’s best in Functional Medicine, Dr Daniel Kalish, who, at the same time, mentored her in the practice of Functional Medicine. He gave her a PLAN to uncover ALL the root causes of her health issues, so that she could finally get on top of her health and become the mum, the wife, the healer & business owner that she wanted to be.Chris had always been blessed with health of body and mind. For many years, however, he devalued his blessings and abused his body, mind and spirit. He was so obsessed with elite level sport and being ‘the best’ - first, national-level basketball, then national-level Strongman - that he broke his body down with multiple injuries, burnt-out adrenals, and was left living on energy drinks to get through work, and conking out on the couch when he was at home. This left little time for his kids and his wife. He was also burning the candle at both ends, trying to build a fitness business.He had lost his way. Although he was a physically 'big' man, he felt weak and broken inside. His family life & business suffered because of it. It was through his own 2-year mentorship with world-renowned Holistic Health Coach, Mark Buckley, that he discovered the power of Mindset Coaching - which literally saved his life in more ways then one. Through intensive psychological re-shifting work, and healing of his own body systems (with the help of his wife!), he found his way back.Together Chris & Filly are a powerful force as they combine their personal experiences and overcoming, with what they have studied and learned on the journey. Filly a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, and Chris an NLP practitioner and life coach have combined to create Chris and Filly's Functional Medicine. Together that are changing lives, and I know this conversation will inspire you to end body burnout.Find out more about Chris & Filly, Click here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

Ep 143Pants on at 100
Kathy White's own yoga journey began when she was 25 years old, many years ago. She hated aerobics (which was all the rage in the 80's) as it just made her face red, her blood pound and she felt awful afterwards! She wanted to try something else. She was a keen cyclist and swimmer and yoga fitted her personality. When she was in her 30's Yoga helped when she lost her first child - he was stillborn and she felt very very disconnected from her body when he died. Yoga gradually allowed her to regain that connection and helped her birth her two children. As an older mum, age 40+ with two young kids, yoga helped Kathy keep up with them, play on the floor, climb the trees (which she still loves to do today). However Yoga, when she turned 50 was no longer working in the same way, or at least the practice she'd been doing until then was not addressing her stiff joints, sore back, and painful knees. Then she discovered Kaiut. An amazing practice from Brazil. She retrained and over the next 5 years and developed her Joint Renewal System (TM). So amazing the transformation, she can't even remember which knee it was that used to hurt so much.Kathy wants to leave a legacy of people living freely in their bodies, and to help people understand that their mindset is often the place that is stuck. She wants to help people be open to learn new movements and new ways to approach restrictions, tightness, stiffness and pain in the body with mindfulness and kindness. She would love everyone to know that a sustainable yoga practice starts today, but lasts for life. She wants to help people put on their pants when they are 100.Kathy is from the UK, she lived in the spiritual community of Findhorn in NE Scotland for over 23 years and in 2018 moved to Vancouver Island, where she achieved a long time dream and opened a yoga studio in the basement of her home. When she speaks about yoga, there is so much she can share, with stories about students (including her 91 year old dad who practices twice a week with her), her own personal journey, and ways in which yoga has truly transformed lives.

Ep 141Let's talk about sex
Kelly Myles and I go back many years. I am very grateful to have been with her on her journey to become an author and watch her courageously transition out of many decades in the hairdressing industry and into a coaching career that she is loving. Kelly is now having a powerful and profound impact on many lives through her coaching business. It's interesting how many of her clients are finding challenges with their relationships and sex life. So, in this conversation we discuss it.We all love sex, and we all want great sex, yet for so many people - including myself for many years - sex has been more a source of stress and anxiety than one of joy and pleasure. Whilst there are many short term, quick-fix, and gimmicky suggested solutions out there to help people improve sexual performance, the key seems to have very little to do with sex at all. It's all about communication and connection.Kelly talks in detail about some very simple things we can all do to improve connection, improve communication and significantly improve intimacy. None of which involves tablets, toys, or toe-touching! This is one of those conversations that is relevant to every person, no matter age, gender, or relationship status. This is a wonderful conversation with Kelly that I enjoyed immensely and hope you do also, Find out more about Kelly here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

Ep 140Trust and belief
Not long after Matthew Caruana had attempted suicide, severed his spinal cord, was categorised as a para-plegic, and found himself in a wheelchair, something happened within him. It was at that moment, he realised that what he thought was the worst thing to ever happen in his life was now the one thing he was most grateful for. If it wasn’t for everything in his past that led to his attempted suicide, he wouldn’t have been in the position he was, where he is now able to inspire individuals of all ages to see and sense their true worth and potential. He started to believe he could help people and so began sharing his story. As he did, all thoughts and feelings of Depression, Anxiety and Suicide magically disappeared. The questions about self-worth and self-image were soon replaced with a sense of purpose and a reason to live. He had found his calling and realised he could help others to find theirs. He went on to become an inspiring speaker and advocate to help people find purpose in their lives.Since my conversation with him in 2021, episode 77, Healing through feeling, even more amazing things have happened in his life. In addition to the impact he is having on lives, he has rediscovered his love for basketball and is achieving amazing things, and he is now in the process of doing something that was considered medically and physically impossible. He is a man on a mission with incredible wisdom for a 23-year-old. He is full to the brim with what is really all that matters, trust and belief. His message is powerful, and it is one one every person needs to hear. Find out more about Matt here.My website is www.andrewjobling.com.au

At 23, Matthew Loudon was healthy, fit, had a well-paying job and generally loved life. Although everything seemed perfect from the outside, he had this feeling deep down that he wasn’t being true to himself. At the time, he also didn’t realise that he was about to hit rock bottom and be diagnosed with depression and anxiety, which turned his world upside down. This diagnosis turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Matt was forced to confront his reality, look inwards and work on his inner self in order to truly understand the value of health and well-being. Since the age of 26, he has been on a journey to continually educate himself and to live a fulfilled, happy life while still looking after his health and well-being on all levels—mentally, physically and spiritually.

Ep 137All you need is love
It is so good to be back on air with the 'Cheeky Cockney' Chris Freer. If you listened to episode 134, Saved by compassion, with Chris, you will know his story. He had a successful career, lots of money in the bank, and everything that seemed to be what one would desire for happiness. However, he was not happy, and his health was failing. The struggles he was experiencing led him to a decision to end the pain, by way of suicide. However, in a moment, he changed his mind and the direction of his life.Chris is now a powerful and inspiring coach, counselor, speaker, and soon to be author, who is living a life of joy and having a powerfully positive impact on many lives. So, the question I hear you asking is, what happened in that moment when he went from the helplessness of a suicide attempt to a desire to get help, and then a life dedicated to helping others? The answer is... love.He started to find the worthiness he had, and began to love himself for who he was, not what he had or did. This is a powerful message that every single person needs to hear, the one most responsible for the outcomes people are experiencing in their lives. Trust me when I say, this is a conversation not to be missed.To find out more about Chris, go to his website. Thanks to Jeff and the team at HeXComm for sponsoring this podcast.

Ep 136Everyday joy
On August 5, 2015 Phil Barth took a surprise visit to the cardiac wing of Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati. He had suffered what was labeled a "small" heart attack. He remembers thinking, "if this is small I'd hate to see medium." Whilst it took him a while to come to terms with the reality of his situation, he finally listened to his wife, friends and doctor, and took the advice to change his diet, start exercising more, and work on controlling stress.It was a transformational period in his life, as he started to live more in the moment, and be able to find the incredible joy and gratitude that was waiting for hi every day. All he had to do was look for it. Since that time he has published a daily list: Great things that happened today. Each day he celebrates the great things that happen. Since he started this journey, he has met some fascinating people, discovered new recipes and celebrated life. And he has laughed a lot. He even wrote a book on the subject - he describes it as an International Best Sort of Seller (it went to #1 on free books when he released it... that's sort of a sale). Phil is an exceptional communicator, with a powerful message. As a speaker, before his experience with heart disease, he shared some inspiring thoughts around goal setting as he tells his story of a three year journey to spend 15 minutes of fame, on the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in 2003. On that show, he walked away with $32,000. This is a wonderful conversation to help you find the joy that is waiting for you every single day.To find out more about Phil, go to his website.
