To nie jest "typowy" wpis - chciałem Cię tylko poinformować, że po 9 miesiącach (uffff!) skończyłem pracę nad BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: High Performance. Nie chcę tu go wychwalać albo reklamować, dlatego zrobimy tak: wypiszę to co w BiM 2 omówiłem i to pomoże podjąć Ci decyzję, czy chcesz go kupić czy też nie. W pierwszej kolejności o tym, dla kogo jest BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: dla ludzi w biznesie dla ludzi w korporacjach dla ludzi w polityce dla sportowców dla ludzi w jednostkach specjalnych oraz dla wszystkich tych, których interesuje sięganie po więcej Dla kogo NIE jest BiM2? Bez wątpienia nie jest to program dla początkujących. NIE polecam również zaczynania przygody z ZenJaskiniowca od tego właśnie programu... Najbardziej skorzystają ci, którzy już znają moją twórczość, moje programy, moje podcasty, szczególnie BYĆ i MIEĆ 1. Pomimo tego, że BYĆ i MIEĆ 2 pomyślane jest jako program niezależny. Czyli - dobrze jest mieć bazę i przerobić to co było wcześniej, jeśli jednak tak się nie stało, nie ma szczególnego problemu. Jest to zatem program dla tych, którzy pracowali już z moimi materiałami i dla tych, którzy chcą spojrzeć na siebie, swoje możliwości oraz na świat w inny, lepszy sposób. Wiele w programie tym elementów, z którymi ja się spotkałem po raz pierwszy. WSTĘP - wstępu nie ma, bo od razu przechodzimy do rzeczy. ROZDZIAŁ 1 - Obi Wan Nairobi Czy aby napewno mental jest najważniejszym elementem High Performance? I czy aby na pewno najlepszym sposobem poprawy swojego mentalu jest praca nad nim bezpośrednio? Czym jest model MUSK? Jakie są dwie podstawowe przeszkody na drodze do wyjątkowych osiągnięć? Czego i High Performance uczą nas MrBeast, Matthew McConaughey i Anthony Hopkins? oraz czy skupianie się na detalach ma jakikolwiek sens? ROZDZIAŁ 2 - ALL BLACKS Czy High Performance polega na połączeniu się pod tradycję czy też na odrzuceniu jej? Dlaczego Juliusz Cezar popłakał się na widok pomnika Aleksandra Wielkiego? Jak pracować nad tym czego nikt nie będzie mógł ci odebrać? TO-DO-LIST vs TO-BE-LIST Jakie jest 5 pytań, które pomogą kształtować twoją nową, lepszą tożsamość? Jakich 3 mantra uczeni się wszyscy zawodnicy All Blacks? Jak postrzegać presję by cię wzmacniała? oraz na czym polega model czerwonej głowy / niebieskiej głowy? Czego tresura psów uczy o High Performance u ludzi? Jak w 3 krokach radzić sobie w sytuacji presji przy bardzo wysokich stawkach? Jakie są pułapki pogoni za większą pewnością siebie oraz do czego prowadzi wygrywanie tylko tego momentu... ROZDZIAŁ 3 - MACHIAVELLI dlaczego silni potrzebują konfliktów i godnego wroga? Czy jest jego prawie nieznana ale absolutnie rewolucyjna koncepcja UNO SOLO (oraz jakie są dalekosiężne jej konsekwencje) Do jakiej pozycji powinien dążyć każdy ambitny człowiek? Czy ekspansja jest dobrym pomysłem - a jeśli tak, to jaka? Jaka była główna - a często jedyna - motywacja wielkich historycznych postaci? (nie, nie chodzi o próżność) W jaki sposób High Performance wiąże się z koniecznością - czyli de facto z brakiem wyboru i wolności Która z konieczności musi być dla Księcia najważniejsza? Co powinno być jedynym hamulcowym pogoni za więcej? Na czym polega myślenie w kategoriach konieczności? i dlaczego starożytni byli silniejszymi ludźmi niż współcześni? Jaki jest jedyny sposób na osiągnięcie nieśmiertelności? Czym dla Machiavellego było "dobre, szczęśliwe życie"? W jaki sposób zrozumieli ludzkiej kondycji prowadzi w logiczny sposób do sięgania po więcej? Czym u Maka było pojęcie prawdy faktycznej (rzeczywistej) i jakie są konsekwencje tego pojęcia? Czy twoja religia aby na pewno cię wzmacnia? Co jest jedynym gwarantem skutecznego działania? Jaką jest "etyka" w wykonaniu Machiavellego? Jaka jest jego psychologia High Performance i czym są LEW, LIS, SPIRITO i AMINO? Dlaczego musisz być bardziej zwierzęciem niż człow...

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry, the touring series between the Springboks and the All Blacks, held every four years, returns in 2026 with a historic twist. Breakfast with Martin Bester spoke about the exciting event and touched on some of the insane ticket prices.
At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The economy: 7/10 Overall, a good news week, but a reminder that until we get the jobs right we ain't properly right. Foster and Hansen: 9/10 The wackiest story of the week by a mile. Could it be real? Could it be fantasy? Are the union completely mad, or completely brilliant? Epstein: 3/10 It needs to lead somewhere tangible. Having a lot of emails and photos of underwear and sleaze and tawdriness is not a crime, it's just yuck. Where is the crime? Brian Tamaki: 7/10 An application for a bridge too far. No more protests, no more closures, no more madness. We thank you Brian. You broke the camel's back. Melania: 7/10 An interesting insight into our times. It's an example of how the camps are the camps, and the gap has never been wider. It was rubbished, ridiculed and written off and, yet, for a documentary it did excellent business. Everything is political and very little has any nuance. It's sad. LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's Clint's bday celebration and he's got some hot All Blacks facts for you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is it a bombshell? A moment too weird to properly comprehend and, because of that, is that why it isn't real? And if it's not real then it's not worth speculating on. And yet here I am speculating. The NZ Rugby Union has approached Steve Hansen and Ian Foster and asked them to apply for the coach's job. Is that the most absurd, bizarre, nutty, unbelievable, possibly stupid thing you have ever heard around rugby, or perhaps even sport? And yet it's suggested it's true. In a way I hope it isn't, unless it is. But first I'll deal with the 'isn't'. I hope it isn't because the union already have enough reputational issues without adding to them, like the panel, the rules and the criteria. For goodness sake, just go get a rockstar. Surely the All Blacks coaching job still has enough prestige that getting great talent isn't an issue? That's if you haven't already targeted someone, which they should have! But then I hope it is true because I love Hansen and I love Foster and I'm an old romantic who fizzes over the edge of the glass in excitement at what would be/could be one of the great redemption stories in all of sport. Both have issues with rugby and rules and unions. Foster especially got treated abysmally. How good could it feel to march back into the dressing room and say "Hello lads. Now where were we before I was so rudely interrupted?" But for the union, this is why it can't be true. You don't go to a Hansen or a Foster and say have an application form and see what you think. You beg for such talent to frequent your business! And if you're asking them to apply, what are you saying to Jamie Joseph and Co. who might be asking why they're looking for reheats when they're there. Not a bad point. See? It would be way better if none of this were true. Mind you it would be way better if they hadn't sacked Scott Robertson mid-term with a mass pay out and a restraint of trade with no clear plan going forward. This is almost so good it can't be real, while also being so bad it shouldn't be real. The key of course is to win the world cup and if we do that no one will care who the coach is. But that bit seems a long way off when we currently have no coach and in front of us what could be a stroke of genius, or sheer insanity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A chance to open next year's Rugby World Cup with a blockbuster Wallabies-All Blacks clash has been passed by. Organisers have opted to kick-off the tournament with Australia taking on Hong Kong on October 1, with the All Blacks facing Chile the following day. The move is being labelled as a play to keep interest levels “alive”. International Rugby Players' Association CEO Omar Hassanein told Mike Hosking getting a mostly guaranteed win in the first match is important, and while one would like to hope Australia could beat the All Blacks, form over the last decades indicates they may struggle. He says the opening match in Peth is likely to sell out regardless of opposition, so it was a tactical ploy to ensure Australia stays in the tournament and momentum continues.

Tauranga teen Sam Ruthe shocks the world with a new indoor mile record for a New Zealander. The Super Rugby season is two weeks away from kick off, as uncertainty around who the All Blacks coach will be continues.
While it's been a turbulent time for the All Blacks, it seems you can always count on the Black Ferns Sevens to bring a smile to the faces of New Zealand rugby fans. The team captured another World Series title in Singapore last night - demolishing rivals Australia in the process. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.
L'Océanie est le dernier continent à se doter d'une compétition de clubs de football professionnel. L'OFC Pro League est composée de huit nouvelles équipes issues de sept pays différents comme les îles Fidji, les îles Salomon ou la Nouvelle-Zélande. Tous ont l'objectif de se faire une place comme terres de football. Plongée au cœur des premiers matchs. De notre correspondante à Auckland, Incarner la diversité des îles du Pacifique tout en s'inscrivant dans les standards internationaux du football de haut niveau, c'est le pari de cette nouvelle compétition, l'OFC Pro League. Le Fidjien Roy Krishna fait partie des joueurs déjà professionnels qui ont accepté le défi : « Normalement, pour jouer au football, il faut aller à l'étranger. Mais aujourd'hui, on peut jouer à domicile ! C'est un rêve d'avoir un club professionnel. Surtout aux Fidji, car le rugby est roi. Mais je pense que nous sommes sur la bonne voie, avec le bon entraîneur. » C'est Stéphane Auvray, coach et ancien joueur français, qui a été nommé entraîneur du Bula FC, le club qui représente les Fidji. Et pendant ses entraînements, la discipline est palpable : « Le niveau d'exigence est tel qu'ils ne sont pas habitués. Je parlais aujourd'hui des passes appuyées. Ça, c'est quelque chose que tu fais en France, en centre de formation, tous les jours. Ce sont des joueurs qui n'ont pas eu de transition semi-professionnelle pour la majorité, donc ils sont passés d'amateur à professionnel. Donc je suis un peu aussi le policier, plus que l'entraîneur, pour leur apprendre plein de choses, et justement installer cette culture et ce niveau d'exigence. » La culture football confrontée au rugby, sport-roi du Pacifique Les jours de match, il faut aussi réussir à installer la culture foot, surtout chez les supporters. Un spectateur venu supporter l'équipe de football, Bula FC, porte un maillot des All Blacks, la fameuse équipe de rugby de Nouvelle-Zélande. Les Fidji étant une terre de l'ovalie, il n'est pas facile d'introduire le football dans les habitudes. Entre le rugby ou le football, les cœurs balancent. « Moi, je préfère le football, mais les Fidji sont meilleures au rugby », lâche ce supporter. Pour cette supportrice, le rugby l'emporte haut la main : « Je suis néo-zélandaise, donc c'est évident ! Les All Blacks ! » À l'image de ce couple, le stade est rempli de différents maillots de foot et de rugby. Mais l'effervescence est commune, ainsi que l'impression de marquer l'histoire en faisant partie de la toute première compétition de clubs de football professionnel. À lire aussiFoot: la Nouvelle-Zélande qualifiée pour son troisième Mondial « Un jour, je deviendrai footballeur professionnel » « C'est une véritable bénédiction. Quand j'ai commencé à me donner à fond pour m'entraîner, tôt le matin, je courais au moins trois ou quatre kilomètres. Les gens se demandaient tous ce que je faisais, mais moi, je me disais toujours en secret : "Un jour, je deviendrai footballeur professionnel" », confie Gabriel. Aujourd'hui âgé de 30 ans, Gabriel évolue au sein du Bula FC. Son prochain défi sera de remporter la compétition avec son équipe afin de se qualifier pour la Coupe intercontinentale de la FIFA et de disputer les barrages pour la prochaine Coupe du monde des clubs.

In part two, the All Blacks and South Africa are due to play each other in a match in the US in September. With the ICE shootings and general unrest in America, is it really the best back drop for the match?, asks sports writer Alice Soper. The panel discusses with Alice if politics should or shouldn't stay out of rugby. Then, once again the SPCA are asking for help in finding a home for another long stay dog in their care. Azul has been with the SPCA for just over 300 days. She's sick of being overlooked and is ready to find her forever home. If you think you can offer Azul what she needs, please visit her page on the SPCA website for more info.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Trump's week: 2/10 Outside the usual madness came the NATO soldier Afghanistan insult and a dead man in Minneapolis, followed by the usual flannel about domestic terrorists. This time the backlash was real, forceful, and might well stick. The rugby union: 4/10 Too many rules around the coach. It's a classic case of overthinking it – just go get the best. NZ Post: 6/10 Yes, we would all like a post shop in the lounge, but it's not real so at least good on them for telling it like it is and defending a tough, but realistic, decision. Fees Free: 2/10 Data that shows why the polls are where they are. Very few are keen on a repeat of that level of fiscal carnage. Judith Collins: 8/10 Not just time (24 years) but a workload and a legacy. You don't get 18 portfolios without leaving an imprint.

With a win ratio approaching 80% over 125 years, this New Zealand rugby powerhouse offers invaluable lessons on building elite culture and sustained excellence.Kerr breaks down the actionable principles that create championship-level performance, from "sweep the sheds" to "no dickheads" policies. For tactical professionals, these aren't abstract concepts—they're direct translations from one warrior culture to another, providing practical frameworks for leadership and team building in high-stakes environments.

A once in a generation player, Brad Thorn has achieved great things on the field. He's arguably the greatest code swapper rugby league and union have ever seen, winning the World Cup with the All Blacks, Crusaders titles, NRL titles, and he represented the Kangaroos and played in State of Origin. Thorn's had an immense amount of success across his 30-year career, and he's detailed the lessons he's learned in his new book, ‘Champions Do Extra'. The book's title stems from a sentiment expressed by Thorn's father when he was younger – encouraging them to take that one extra step when applying themselves to anything. “If you ask me who was my best coach, I'd say my dad,” he told Mike Hosking. “A lot of it was around mindset, and y'know, having a positive mindset and putting in the work, bringing the work ethic and then being able to have the belief, to having earned the belief to be able to, y'know, achieve the things you want to achieve and the potential you have.” While some measure of natural ability is always useful, Thorn believes it's the work you put in that allows you to become great. “There's many times with Richie McCaw, there's different parts of the game that I didn't initially think he was natural at,” he explained to Hosking. “But he just worked hard, y'know, and you saw those parts of his game develop.” “Hard work takes you a long way.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It seems timing continues to rule out potential All Blacks coaching candidates. Coach Vern Cotter will leave the Blues at the end of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season to move to the Queensland Reds next year, therefore removing himself from the All Black coaching conversation. Sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe spoke to Lisa Owen.

Joe Schmidt has ruled himself out of the running for the All Blacks' job. In cricket, the Black Caps are beaten in the T20 series with India, while in May, Raglan will play host to one of the biggest surfing events in the world.
The hunt for a new All Blacks coach officially starts this week. New Zealand Rugby has set up a five-person panel - which includes a number of former players - that will help appoint the new coach. However, anyone gunning for the job will have to check their CV first due to a new guideline that could rule out several hopeful applicants. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.
New Zealand Rugby interim boss Steve Lancaster has clarified the organisation's position on the appointment of a replacement for former coach Scott Robertson with less than two years until the World Cup. The successful candidate must be a New Zealander with international experience in a head role. Lancaster says that with only two years until the World Cup, they simply don't have time for someone to find their feet at this level, so they're looking for someone that can hit the ground running. He told Mike Hosking it's very much a point in time criteria given where we're at in the cycle, and the overall context. Lancaster says assistants will be decided once the initial set-up is in place.

It's been a whirlwind few weeks in New Zealand rugby with the shock sacking of All Blacks coach Scott Robertson after a couple of years that were maybe not great, but not exactly disastrous either.

Tony Brown has admitted to frustrations around the vacant All Blacks coaching role. The former first-five has confirmed he intends to honour his contract as an assistant with South Africa, rather than make himself available for inclusion in any New Zealand group. Brown was a part of Jamie Joseph's pitch for the job in 2023, which lost out to Scott Robertson. Brown revealed to Mike Hosking that Robertson sounded him out about joining the All Blacks a couple of months ago. But he says his commitment to South Africa was four years and he's always wanted to honour that. “I'm just so frustrated that no one talked to me two years ago.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
