    Dr Lee Warren - How the Art of Self-Brain Surgery Can Radically Transform Your Life

    Dr Lee Warren is a practising neurosurgeon, Iraq War veteran, and author who specialises in the intersection of neuroscience, the mind and faith. Dr Warren advocates "Self-Brain Surgery", a method using our own cognitive awareness to change our mental habits, to heal from trauma, and improve the quality of our lives. Dr Warren shares the story of losing his son to a murder, the moment his world was forever changed. With true lived experience, Dr Warren explains the possibilities that exist for us to make structural changes to our own brain, so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make us unhappy and keep us stuck.

  2. Andrew Nunn - The Mentalist Who Distorts Our Reality & Perception

    7 May

    Andrew Nunn - The Mentalist Who Distorts Our Reality & Perception

    Andrew Nunn is a mentalist who explores how perception, pressure, and hidden assumptions shape our decision-making. Rather than offering generic mindset advice, Andy shows how intelligent people get fooled by their own thinking — often in real time. On stage as a behavioural keynote speaker, through what seems to be live mind-reading and behavioural insight, Andy is able to demonstrate how failure reshapes belief, how perception distorts reality, and how the stories in our heads quietly shape what we do. In his own life, he was able to move from a place of addiction to running some of the world's most challenging ultramarathons. Andy doesn't just teach mindset; he shows us how we fall for constructs and how our minds and perceptions actually work.    LINKS   Andy's website www.andrewnunn.com   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

    Joey Klein - Understand and Unlock Your Personal Inner Matrix

    Joey Klein is the author of the books 'The Inner Matrix' and 'Relationship Alchemy'. Joey grew up in pain, full of rage, unfulfilled, numbing himself with drugs and alcohol. It was a dark time - his relationships imploded, and he didn't care if he lived or died. Finally, he reached his breaking point and set himself on a quest to find the peace and the fulfilment he craved. He achieved this through an in-depth study of the world's ancient wisdoms: meditation, martial arts and spiritual traditions, along with the modern sciences: neurology, epigenetics, mindfulness, and psychology. The sheer breadth and depth of Joey's journey and his transformation make this a very compelling conversation.   LINKS   Joey's website https://joeyklein.com/ Books on Amazon The Inner Matrix: Leveraging the Art & Science of Personal Mastery to Create Real Life Results Relationship Alchemy: A Practical Guide to Getting Along Well With Others ​ The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

    Ainsley Melham - The Journey to Broadway

    Ainsley Melham has just finished playing the lead role in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway, for the second time. Born in Bathurst, west of Sydney, Ainsley studied at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) before scoring his first role in the children's musical group Hi-5, who were huge in Australia, Asia and the UAE. After 3 years with Hi-5 Ainsley departed to go back to his musical theatre roots. Shortly thereafter Ainsley won the title role in Disney Theatrical Company's Aladdin in Sydney, before taking that role to the bright lights of Broadway in 2019. He toured Australia in both Pippin (2020) and Wicked (2024) and in 2025 starred as Dwayne in Boop! The Musical on Broadway. Ainsley originated this role in the 2023 pre-Broadway run and continued with the production to Broadway last year. This is a wonderful story of hard work, a solid work ethic, dreams, grit, chasing a challenge, chasing the process, all the while remaining humble and grounded.

    Featured: Dr Jim Loehr - Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time

    Dr Jim Loehr wrote a book that changed my mindset on performance. That book was 'The Power of Full Engagement'. Jim's philosophy is that managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and life balance. The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully, both on and off the job, by laying out the key training principles and providing a powerful, step-by-step program that will help you level up your energy and, thus, your performance. In recent months, I've been queried several times on the relationship between energy, health and wellness on ideas, creativity, leadership and performance, and this episode is the best reference I can give for that question.   LINKS   Dr Jim Loehr https://www.jim-loehr.com   Book on Amazon The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

    Jonathan B Smith - The Game Changing Power of Helping People Feel Understood

    People want to be seen, heard, valued, understood and appreciated. Jonathan B. Smith is a business strategist and Black Swan Negotiation Instructor with decades of experience. He has founded multiple companies over the years, and his work has helped companies achieve millions in revenue. His new book, 'Fight Less Win More', is gold - one of the most valuable books I have read recently. Daniel Pink, #1 NY Times bestseller, said: "Fight Less, Win More is a massively useful book for just about anyone who has to deal with the desires, foibles, and idiosyncrasies of other human beings." This conversation demonstrates the critical skill we can use in conversation to help people feel understood!  LINKS Jonathan's website https://staycuriousjbs.com Book on Amazon Fight Less, Win More: How Master Negotiators Influence Hearts, Minds, and Deals   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.
