When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years. Instead, he wrote the book he wished he had during times when his mental health wasn’t doing well. It’s the kind of book one grabs when they’ve tried everything else but still feel stuck, or they’re trying to understand how someone they care about keeps going in circles, and things seem to be getting worse. It’s specifically written for people who aren’t used to asking for help or are concerned that asking for help might impact them negatively. To ensure the book is as powerful as possible, Osher worked with an eminent Australian psychologist to make sure all the messages and techniques are legitimate. Some of the content is quite complicated, so to make things easier to understand, he wanted to use illustrations. While Osher isn’t bad at sketching, he isn’t an artist. There was only one artist Osher wanted to work with, someone who could understand what he was trying to do and who would get the concepts he wanted to put on the page. That person is the legendary Campbell Walker aka @struthless69, who joins us today. Pre-order “So What?

When that person up ahead in the right turn only lane puts their blinker on way too late and starts to merge across the solid line towards your lane, what are your thoughts about that person? When you you distinctly recall asking your partner to empty the recycling bin yesterday, and now it’s a jenga pile of jam jars and plastic packets - what are your thoughts about that person? Just to speculate, they’re not positive thoughts are they? However - do you realise that what’s happening there with your judgment about the other person is one of the core thinking biases which can destroy relationships, and lead to unnecessary, possibly dangerous conflict with strangers? Luckily it’s one of those things that once you know it’s there, you can actively start to work at it - and in this episode Osher talks about identifying and dealing with this trap of thinking which often sits at the core of all relationship discontent.For more on the book announcement: https://oshergunsberg.substack.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'. Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Sometimes it can feel like everything is out of our control - that things happen to us rather than for us or with us. But what if instead of fearing change, we could know that we were ready for it, and that we could harness it deliberately to steer us toward the life we want?

In this conversation with Osher, they look back on this incredible journey and ahead to the music they are now making together under the Tierney Brothers name.

There's a fair bit about Michelle Brasier's life that doesn't seem that funny. She lost her Dad, then her brother, then was told she had a 97% chance of her own life being cut short by cancer too. Yet she's still finding humour, choosing optimism and singing just about any chance she gets. And like, she's a very funny and talented comedian (and writer, and actor) - so yeah, there's still plenty of laughs still around. In this very special live episode, recorded at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, celebrating the launch of Michelle's memoir 'My Brother’s Ashes Are In A Sandwich Bag' (named one of Apple’s Best Books of 2024 and first in the list of Audible’s Top Ten Memoirs of the year 2024), Michelle discusses how she lives her life and chooses to see the world, her creative practice, and honoring people who aren't there anymore, even if they're past versions of yourself.

Osher speaks with Nir Ayal, an Israeli-born American author, lecturer, and investor, renowned for his expertise in behavioral design and habit formation. When it comes to his book “Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products,” - it’s hard to overestimate the enormous influence his work has had on the user experience and product design in the tech space. If you find yourself using an app which keeps you on there even when you want to put it down? The chances are that the people who designed that app are using Nir’s four-phase model of habit formation (Trigger, Action, Variable Reward, Investment) that explains how products can create habits in users. In that book he goes into the ethics of building apps which people can’t put down - and in many ways the book he’s here to talk about today, “Indestractable” is the antithesis of that. This conversation is packed with useful ideas, techniques and concepts to help you get your action and intentions aligned.
