    Shaun O’Gorman - EP 61 - Get busy living or get busy

    Shaun worked in the Police Dog Squad for many years and the Covert and Surveillance unit, working on Major and Organised Crime.
    A bloke who knows has lived and just wants to help.
    We spoke about 3 AM friends, hard-fought and won lessons to keep moving in tough times, striving to help others and, as always, plenty of laughs.
    Who is Shaun
    Shaun spent three nights in a row, a Glock pistol in his hand, laying in bed trying to think of reasons not to end his life. To overcome his mental health injuries, Shaun spent the next 17 years immersed in the study of personal development, human behaviour and high performance to heal himself and live a happy life. He now devotes his life to helping others using the knowledge and education that helped him help himself.

    Clay Watts - EP 60 - Cancer to Cage Fighter

    It's easy being tough when you have never faced adversity. Would you lie down and die or fight with everything, no matter how hard it got?  
    Clay Watts spent 30 years in the military and police, serving with the Australian Special forces; he is no stranger to adversity, pain and suffering.
    So when the prognoses came, "it is not good mate", his test began.
    As the saying goes, "nobody kills Clay except Clay." 
    We spoke about Clay's fight with pancreatic cancer, which led him back into boxing and his new concept of using combat sports to transition people through life.

Some really interesting topics with some even more interesting individuals. Definitely worth a listen for anyone wanting to learn off of the experiences of others who have walked off the beaten track beforehand.
