In Today's episode of Running from Comfort I am joined by my good friend and brother in Christ Kale Ross. Kale has recently given his life to Christ and has discovered (as those of us who chose Christ soon find out) all the tricks and traps that the devil tries to get us caught back into the world and away from God. Kale and I discuss our lives and how we came to know Christ and the spiritual life that only God can give, how the devil is always trying to draw us back in and how we must be strong in our faith in order to withstand these tests, and we also discuss the importance of having God in your life for your mental health. My only encouragement for any listeners who do not have God in their life is to seek Him whole heartedly as He is always calling us home.

Today's guest is my mother, Sandra Galloway.   I recently had the opportunity to work from home due to COVID-19, so I escaped the big city life of Melbourne and went back to my parent's house in Tasmania for 6 weeks while Australia went through lockdown.   I took this opportunity to interview the wisest women I know, my mother on my last day in Tasmania which also happened to be her 59th birthday.   My mother shared from her life experience and speaks on what she has learned. She drops some wisdom bombs from her sales tactics, her outlook on life, finding her faith in God and tells me the story about how she met my father.   If you enjoyed today's show please give the show a rating and review, share it with somebody else who would enjoy it and subscribe for future content.

Describing himself as a human guinea pig, Jesse has dabbled into martial arts, philosophy, religion and techniques such as the Wim Hof method and cold showers in order to get out of his comfort zone and develop a strong mindset. We go deep on this conversation as we talk about how Jesse has explored everything under the sun in order to develop a growth mindset. We spend the second half of the discussion really diving deep into our own personal beliefs and explore the idea of having faith in Jesus which is something we both share. We then get to talking about topical issues such as the importance of living a spiritually fulfilled life and not a material life. This is one of those discussions that talks about all things important that you won't hear in the mainstream media or entertainment. I really enjoyed having this converation and we will definitely be getting Jesse back on some point soon to go even deeper into some of these topics.

The conversation covers everything from her career as a family lawyer, to what keeps relationships together, setting and achieving your goals and how parenthood has impacted her life.   As a family lawyer, Bec has witnessed her share of relationship breakdowns that entail “everything that love songs are written about” and understands the importance of healthy communication to keep a relationship alive. We discuss what she has learned  seeing divorce first hand and how she helps people get what they want and get back on their feet.   Bec discusses her career progression from first year lawyer up to being a Principal managing her own family law practice at MA Legal. She is no stranger to adversity and talks about how she was able to push her comfort zone to be successful in her career.   Finally we discuss how she balances staying career focused while also being a mother to her young daughter.   Today’s episode is full of great insight so I hope you all enjoy.   Please share the show, give it a like or a rating and subscribe for future content.   

In today's episode I talk about what it means to retrain your brain. Most of us walk around and let our past and pre-conceptions about life make decisions for us. So I pose the question to you, who is running your life, you or your past?   Having recently completed the Landmark Forum, I have been left with a new view and outlook on life. I summarise the most important lessons that I have gained from the Landmark Forum and talk about it using examples from life that we all come across.   The idea of retraining your brain ultimately comes down to understanding that you can choose what meaning you assign to anything in life. If somebody says or does something to you, you can choose how to react and the emotions that you feel.    Once you come to realise that you create and assign meaning to everything in your life, then you have the power to be free. Once you are free then you are left with space to create any possibility in your life that you want.   So let go of your past, let go of your limiting beliefs and walk into your best life. 2020 is going to be an amazing year everybody.   If you enjoy please do not forget to give this a rating and review, subscribe and share this with somebody else.

Today’s show our guest is Kawa Kurdi director of the charity called the Rizgari Foundation. Kawa speaks about why he started the charity. He also educates me on the history of the Kurdish people, the oppression that they have faced and continue to face as a minority group within the Middle East.   Following the Turkish invasion of Rojava a primarily Kurdish populated region in northeast Syria, thousands of Kurdish families have been displaced and placed into refugee camps. Unfortunately, these camps are severely underfunded and are unable to provide the people with sufficient food, water, shelter and education in order to end the poverty cycle.    Kawa has decided to start this chartiy to both raise awareness to these issues and to help provide support to the families living within these refugee camps.   Throughout the conversation I was educated as to the struggles and suffering that the Kurdish people have been subjected to and still are to this day.   If you want to support the Rizgari Foundation then head on over to their facebook page or checkout their website, both are linked below:   https://www.rizgarifoundation.com/    https://www.facebook.com/Rizgari-Foundation-107986910667267/

Hey everybody, today's episode is all about forgiveness and the power that it holds. I have spent the past month reflecting deeply about my life and feel I am beginning to understand the signifigance of forgiveness. In this talk I explain my thoughts and beliefs on forgiveness. The first half of this video explains it from a perspective of how we need to forgive people in order to let go of the hurt that we experience in this life. The second half I tie this into how God forgives us and that if we seek his forgiveness he can and will fill the void in our lives and help heal us from our own pain and suffering. Even if you don't believe in God I encourage you, watch the first half and if you want, stick around for the second half.

Welcome to Episode #11 of Running from Comfort and the second edition of the Solo show. In today's episode I discuss the topics about whether social media is exposing us, how to overcome your insecurities and why you should take steps to conquer your fear of rejection.   I attended an event this week where entrepreneur superstar Gary Vaynerchuk was the headlining speaker. During the event he held a Q & A and I asked him a question which features in this episode. His response to my question I thought was quite profound so I decided to spend this weeks episode of the podcast discussing this in greater detail.   In discussing the topic of whether or not social media is exposing us I then transition into talking about overcoming insecurities and conquering your fear of rejection. These are two things that I have struggled with in my own personal life but I have seen massive change in my own life as I attempt to beat them.   If you enjoy today's episode then make sure you share it with somebody who could also benefit from it.   Don't forget to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review. :)

We spend the first portion of the interview talking about his beginnings. We then transition into talking about the world today and Tony offers up some nuggets of wisdom so pay attention!   Below is an extract of Tony’s advice to his younger self as referenced at the end of the show.   I hope you guys enjoy, please do not forget to subscribe.   Tony’s advice to his younger self -   “Don’t worry kid, everything will work out ok   Don’t listen to people that don’t understand your chosen direction. Most of these people will be stuck where they are and will live with regret. Don’t be afraid to fail. Whether it is a best lift, a job, a relationship or a dream. Failure teaches us what we need to push forward.   Success is failure turned inside out.   Dream bigger. Because if you dream small, that is what you will get.   Don’t rely on anyone else for your happiness or self  worth. People and circumstances change.   Keep seeing the good in people, it will always outweigh the bad.   Don’t ever do anything to prove someone wrong. Do it all to prove yourself right.   Train yourself to sleep less and live more. Life is short, don’t waste a moment.   Be genuinely curious, make friends wherever your travel.   Have many layers. Reveal your layers slowly, only as you learn to trust people.   Never hesitate to help others and share your knowledge. This cannot be quantified but always comes back ten fold.   Realise that everything happens for a reason. Strive to be happy, life is an amazing ride.   Don’t worry kid, everything will work out ok.”
