Doug Baird | The Beauty Of A Father's Love

A legacy is measured by what we choose to carry forward. For Doug Baird, the loss of his son, Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG, became part of a much larger commitment: ensuring that service, sacrifice and the values behind them are never forgotten. In this conversation, Doug shares the personal journey behind that commitment and the work he continues to do in honour of those who serve. His perspective reaches beyond remembrance. It speaks to responsibility, the importance of standing by your principles, and the obligation to leave something meaningful for the next generation. Cameron’s story is an important part of that journey. The conversation, however, is equally about Doug: his resolve, his purpose and the way he has chosen to turn profound loss into lasting contribution. Together, we explore: The responsibility of preserving the stories of those who have served, and ensuring their sacrifice is understood by future generations. How family, values and the example set by those before us shape the standards we carry into our own lives. The importance of honouring service through action, not simply words or ceremonies. What it means to stand firm in your convictions when life demands more of you than you ever expected. How one person's commitment can create a lasting impact across veterans, families, schools and the wider community. The Bigger Message A legacy is not simply what is remembered. It is what continues through the actions of others. Doug’s story is a powerful reminder that purpose can endure through adversity, that service carries a responsibility beyond the individual, and that the values we live by become part of what we leave behind. Who Should Watch Anyone interested in service, leadership, family, legacy and the responsibility we have to the generations that follow. A conversation about character, commitment and the meaning of making a contribution that lasts. Watch, reflect and join the conversation.

Fabian Wesselink | Sobriety, Acceptance & Taking Risks

What happens when alcohol takes hold, you lose your soulmate, and the life you've built no longer feels like your own? For Fabian Wesselink, the journey back meant confronting trauma, deeply ingrained patterns and the parts of himself he'd spent years avoiding. Now, through Breatholution, his controversial approach combining breathwork and hypnotherapy, Fabian is challenging conventional thinking about emotional release and lasting transformation. In this episode of Think Uncommon, Jo sits down with Fabian to explore what happens when we stop running from our pain and start questioning the patterns that shape our lives. Together, we explore: Trauma and the body: How our experiences can shape the patterns we carry. The subconscious mind: How beliefs and conditioning influence our choices. Breatholution: Why Fabian combines breathwork and hypnotherapy, and why his approach challenges conventional thinking. Rock bottom and personal responsibility: How adversity can become a turning point. Regulate before you rewire: Why powerful experiences don't always translate into lasting change. This conversation goes beyond breathwork. It's about confronting the parts of ourselves we'd rather avoid, finding the courage to change, and taking responsibility for the person we choose to become. Our past may explain our patterns, but it doesn't have to determine our future.
