On today's podcast we have Ben Ryan.   Ben is the most successful men's rugby sevens coach in history. He's the only coach to have won Continental, World, and Olympic titles, and has been working at the pinnacle of international sport for over two decades and counting. His transformative leadership turned the Fiji Rugby Sevens team into a global powerhouse. Under his guidance, they went on to win back-to-back World Series titles and, most notably, Olympic gold at the 2016 Rio Summer Games - Fiji's first ever Olympic medal.   The story is insane - and no surprise to me, there's a movie to document it soon. As a leader, Ben revolutionised the way the team embraced culture, connection, standards, and mental preparation - ensuring his players thrived both as athletes, and as individuals. His groundbreaking work in Fiji earned him the nation's highest civilian honour: the Companion of the Order of Fiji.    He is currently in his third season as Performance Director at Brentford FC, playing in the Premier League - a club known for doing things differently. They are going from strength to strength, becoming perhaps the most talked about team in world sport, and for whom Ben is a lifelong fan. He was also an impressive athlete himself, a graduate of both Loughborough and Cambridge, a great human being, and a true leader in human performance.   In this episode, we discuss: The Fiji story, from hurricanes, dictators, and enforcing discipline, to the part I found most fascinating: the internal challenges Ben had to overcome to transition from aspiring leader to world-class leader.   I hope you enjoy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------   Find Ben https://www.instagram.com/benryan7s/ https://x.com/benjaminryan    Find James: https://www.linkedin.com/in/acceleratingexcellence/ https://www.instagram.com/jamesaking_/ https://jamesaking.com/   The Mindset App: While the app is under development, we have decided to provide access to the full content for free on YouTube for a limited time.

On April 10th, a big story broke in the gender world: The long-awaited report commissioned by the UK's National Health Service, known as the Cass Review, was released. As soon as the report hit the news cycle, gender-critical activists celebrated it as the final nail in the coffin of harmful practices, while trans-rights activists accused it of faulty methodology. So who was right? This week, I spoke with Benjamin Ryan, a health and science reporter, to help unpack the Cass Review's data. Ben has spent years covering the intersection of health and public policy. He has a remarkably clear head and is a disciplined thinker about the youth gender medicine debate, so he is a great person to explain what is and is not in the Cass Review.

Hear real-world cases highlighting the importance of properly classifying doctors to not run into payroll tax pain later down the line.Key Takeaways:Payroll tax is a state-based tax administered by each state's revenue office, not the ATO (Australian Taxation Office)Revenue offices are actively cracking down on medical practices that have been non-compliant with payroll tax regulations.Recent cases involving Optical Superstore and Thomas and Naaz have brought attention to the issue of properly classifying doctors and patients under the Payroll Tax Act.Medical practices need to consider payroll tax when dealing with doctors and patients and seek advice from experienced professionals.It is essential for medical practices to have conversations with knowledgeable professionals who specialise in both accounting and legal aspects of the medical industry.Updating bank accounts without considering the wider plan will not fix any existing payroll tax issues.Collaborating with legal advisors and experts is crucial to ensure operational changes align with legal advice.Understanding the business structure, evaluating day-to-day operations, and seeking professional advice are the first steps in managing payroll tax risks.Remember this episode is not professional advice in any way.

Check it out below: Ben Reinberg (00:00:00) - Started seeing that more and more people were working remotely from home and at coffee shops. And I said, office space is going to eventually be a dying animal in certain regards. So there are certain tenants that need office space, like medical tenants. You know, law firms need. But even a lot of attorneys now are working from home. I know a lot of my colleagues and they they have an office, but they don't need as much space. So I started seeing this shrinkage of space from the internet. And then the pandemic hit and it became more prevalent. More people were saying, hey, we could do these zoom calls. Now we can. We don't need to meet face to face. We don't need a conference room. We don't need to have this expensive overhead. Right.   Intro (00:00:45) - Welcome to the how to Scale Commercial Real Estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:58) - Ben Rosenberg is the CEO of Alliance.   Sam Wilson (00:01:00) - He has almost three decades of commercial real estate experience and over $500 million in assets. Ben, welcome to the show.   Ben Reinberg (00:01:08) - Sam, thank you very much for having me today. Happy Tuesday to you and pleasure to be on your show.   Sam Wilson (00:01:14) - The pleasure is all mine. Ben. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?   Ben Reinberg (00:01:24) - Uh, started back in Chicago, north suburbs of Chicago, uh, started syndicating commercial real estate. First deal was industrial deal then got into office and retail. And those are my expertise industrial office retail. And then we expanded within office. Now we acquire medical office, which is a large presence in our portfolio, Sam as well as veterinarian office. So where we sit today is started when I was young, in my 20s, and now I'm 53 years old and we've grown a portfolio and we've sold off a lot of our portfolio last five, ten years.   Ben Reinberg (00:02:02) - And now we're looking to grow again. And we've had staff, so we're scaling the company my company Alliance consolidate group of companies. It's Alliance Wkyc.com for anyone looking who we are. And we're the leaders in investing in medical office in the United States.   Sam Wilson (00:02:19) - That is fantastic. Been I've not had I don't believe any guests come on the show that specialize in what you do. So this will be this will be a fun conversation for me because I get to ask questions that are genuine, like curiosity. I have no idea how this how this space works, what yields are things like that. I guess before we get into the mechanics of what your core focus is, let's rewind maybe 2030 years. Can you break down some of the. Shifts in opportunity. I think this is something that we've been talking about a lot with a lot of different sponsors, is that not everything is golden forever. There's times to invest in certain asset classes and times to get out. What have you seen, I guess, across the last 20, almost 30 years of your real estate experience in the changing times of opportunity?   Ben Reinberg (00:03:09) - Well, I've seen a lot of change.   Ben Reinberg (00:03:11) - The internet has had a drastic change on commercial real estate, and what I've seen from that is you look at retail as an example. So we just don't shopping centers and strip centers, and we don't own that type of product as much anymore. We've wound it down in our portfolio and sold them off. And the reason being is there's not as many retail tenants running around leasing space. Sam in different types of assets in the retail space. And so for us, we saw that and said, you know, we're going to move on to other asset classes. Industrial has been a great product through our career. The other thing that changed is when I was younger, we were buying General Office. We were we thought that we would own a tremendous amount of large office campuses around the country. That was a strategy we had. And then once we started seeing the internet became more prevalent, people were working more remotely. You look at what happened with Covid, which was a perfect example to what we thought was going to happen.   Ben Reinberg (00:04:12) - And you look at suburban office around the country, anywhere around the United States, there's a tremendous amount of vacancy. And so there is some opportunities where people are leasing space because they're doing remote hybrid work. Or if you're from Chicago, like where I'm from, Sam. Even though I live in California right now, one of the challenges is you go downtown Chicago, see so much vacancy in these large high rise skyscraper buildings. And it's also because not only because of Covid, but also they're shifting they're opening offices in the suburbs. But the suburban office market is really challenged. There's a lot of vacancy. Any new product needs to be absorbed if it's still out there. People are building new office like they have. And so that's an asset class that's drastically changed that and retail that I've seen in my in my career. We got into medical office about 19 years ago because we saw an opportunity to find a product in a space where we knew was never going to go out of style. You know, people need medical services and our tenant support those type of services for anyone, their families.   Ben Reinberg (00:05:20) - And we realized when that was the foundation. It's a very stable product with a lot of upside and a lot of demand.   Sam Wilson (00:05:26) - That is really interesting. What were some of the signs or the signposts along the way? That kind of because it sounds like you were able to exit the properties that you wanted to get out of before the bottom fell out on them. How were you able to accurately predict that and not get stuck holding the bag?   Ben Reinberg (00:05:45) - Just being a tenant in suburban office where our headquarters first started? Over the years, I saw that I saw the population growth changes in different areas of the country. And I started realizing, I started seeing that more and more people were working remotely from home and at coffee shops. And I said, office space is going to eventually being a dying animal in certain regards. So there are certain tenants that need office space, like medical tenants, you know, law firms need. But even a lot of attorneys now are working from home. I know a lot of my colleagues and they they have an office, but they don't need as much space.   Ben Reinberg (00:06:27) - So I started seeing this shrinkage of space from the internet. And then the pandemic hit and it became more prevalent. More people were saying, hey, we could do these zoom calls. Now we can. We don't need to meet face to face. We don't need a conference room. We don't need to have this expensive overhead. Right. And so over time, we started seeing it and we thought we're like, maybe it's going to happen. Maybe it's not going to happen. Sam I'm not sure. But I think over time, especially with this younger generation we saw, is growing up on technology. They're extremely comfortable with the remote and hybrid. They almost they almost demand it. So the work environments changed and that's changed in office space. And with retail, you know we see there is a growing presence of of different restaurant chains that have expanded. There's different niches. But we've seen a lot of our medical tenants go into retail centers to get the traffic counts and the exposure and get the walkability to go to their, their facilities.   Ben Reinberg (00:07:26) - So we're starting to see that. We see a lot of urgent cares in retail centers now, and we see a lot of physicians they're opening in retail centers because what they see is the mother might go and shop a couple of doors down and, you know, her kid might be at the doctor. And so there's a lot of benefits to being in a retail center for some of these folks out there that are that are patients of these physicians. And so we started seeing that trend as well. And it's going to be very interesting times as we grow older, Sam, to see like what's going to happen with retail, you know, what are going to be the key factors, like how is this going to affect brick and mortar, you know, is, you know, multifamily still has the ability to absorb tenants in a rising interest rate market. But when interest rates drop, more people buy homes. So it gets affected as well. So there's no rhyme or reason. It's it's where the opportunities are.   Ben Reinberg (00:08:21) - And we saw a long time ago there's an opportunity to medical and we doubled down on it and took advantage of it.   Sam Wilson (00:08:27) - I think that's great. I think that's great. Also finding something that is almost market cycle agnostic. I mean, I think that's one of the things that, you know, again, you talked to a lot of sponsors on this show and you see you see I see many different sponsors pivoting right now going, okay, you know, we had opportunity in this for the last 7 to 10 years. But you know, that's drying up. So now we're looking at other opportunities. But you've kind of found a spot that is again market cycle agnostic that in the medical office space. So let's take what remainder of time we have here and really dig in if we can. You know you've been in it for what, 19 years? I think you said in the medical office space.   Ben Reinberg (00:09:07) - We've been in the medical office for about 19 years. We started buying dialysis facilities when they were being scrutinized by the United States government, especially DaVita.   Ben Reinberg (00:09:19) - And we saw that and we said, you know, there's more kidney disease running rampant, more people are consuming fast foods and high. Cholesterol and have have rampant renal challenges. And we just said, you know what? This is a really good opportunity to look into this. And we did. And fortunately we we did very well with it. And I'm really proud of where this company has taken the medical office space. And our investors have done extremely well. And so we have a lot of investors from around the country and even the world that are investing in our medical properties with us, and they've just been incredible because of of just the opportunity.   Sam Wilson (00:10:01) - I'm taking this right off of your website here, and you have a statistic posted there that says from the change during global financial crisis, Q4 or actually since Q4 2006 through the trough, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but essentially it shows a 70% decrease in investment volume over, I guess, that period of whatever that period of time is maybe 2006 through now in medical office space.   Sam Wilson (00:10:26) - Does that ring true with you and if so, why is that?   Ben Reinberg (00:10:30) - Well, with us, it's actually the other way. I mean, we've doubled down and increased our volume, but a lot of folks have, um, have maybe not acquired, uh, medical office because the barriers to entry really need to understand. Sam, what are all the nuances, different licensing laws, what makes us successful? Ten is a specific medical office property. And what ends up happening is that people don't feel comfortable with it. And so we do. We spent a lot of time going through our learning curve, understanding medical office and what it meant. And what's interesting is, I would say the last five years, medical offices been very hot. There's more people that have come into our space because they realize it's stable cash flow with great upside.   Sam Wilson (00:11:19) - Got it. What are what are some of the barriers, would you say to entry in the medical office space?   Ben Reinberg (00:11:24) - Well, I would say it's understanding how to be able to talk to physicians, understanding what the metrics are in different facilities, what produces a great.   Ben Reinberg (00:11:37) - Medical business for these physicians and looking at where the opportunities as well. And so there's just a barriers to entry. It's a lot of experience. It's a lot of time to get your arms around the different niches in the medical office space. So every sector in in medical has different requirements, different metrics, different licensing, different success metrics. And so when you really understand the business, it creates a high barriers to entry. Because not everyone can just jump in. Yeah. You could jump in and buy a medical property. But you need to understand like what's the default risk. Why is my tenant gonna pay rent?   Sam Wilson (00:12:18) - Right. And it sounds like it sounds like every tenant has a very unique profile and building type that they want to lease from you.   Ben Reinberg (00:12:27) - That's correct. Mean. And the buildings have different construction to, you know, different power sources. Some need generators, some need certain electrical because they have certain equipment. Look at imaging facilities. Right. Facilities. They spent a tremendous amount of money.   Ben Reinberg (00:12:44) - Some of them have chillers. So they spent a tremendous amount of capital in the property. And you have to understand why. You have to understand how does that affect the real estate. What happens if the tent defaults on the lease? Can you release it? So you really need to understand the credit worthiness of every tenant. Sam. It's really important.   Sam Wilson (00:13:03) - Who is who is an.   Sam Wilson (00:13:04) - Ideal tenant for you guys? Is it is it a national medical corporation? Is it like you said, you know, talking to individual physicians? What's that? What's that tenant profile like that you guys really prefer to work with?   Ben Reinberg (00:13:18) - For us, it's really someone we could build a long term relationship with, someone that has that's credit worthy. Now. It could be small or a large national or privately owned, but it's on that it has a successful business that it really enhances the community of what their business is doing, you know, building deep roots. So, for example, you're in Memphis and if you went to orthopedic, you want to make sure that that orthopedic group or group of physicians that they're going to not default on the wrist are going to pay the rent, they're going to pay taxes, they're going to pay insurance, they're going to run their business from there.   Ben Reinberg (00:13:56) - What different about what's different about medical office is that the properties are very important to the revenue generating of the business because of some cases, the equipment. So take orthopedic. Let's say they have MRIs and and scanning equipment and x rays and all this equipment they need to invest in what ends up happening, Sam, is those that equipment and that property is critical to producing revenue. So we look for tenants that invest in the property. We look for tenants that have equity in their businesses or ability to support rent payments and it's entire process. We take our analysis through to see if there's a viable opportunity in that specific asset.   Sam Wilson (00:14:44) - Do let's talk about the acquisition side of these acquiring these assets. What's what is that process like? I mean, to go out and see a facility potentially on market for sale. Let's just use that for an example. How do you even know if that's worth pursuing without then already having a tenant in mind? Or maybe you do.   Ben Reinberg (00:15:04) - Well, generally speaking, most of our assets have tenant tenants in the property.   Ben Reinberg (00:15:08) - Okay. Or we'll put a tenant in the property depending on the situation. But and the day we're going to underwrite the credit of the tenant, we're going to look at the rent compared to market. We're going to analyze and see what what it would, what the replacement cost of the property is. What are we paying per square foot. We're going to look at if it's a single tenant net lease property. What is the situation with the lease? Who's responsible? What. How does the tenant in the landlord delineate responsibilities in that lease. So we're going to look at those factors. We're going to look at vacancy rates. We're going to look at absorption rates in those submarkets. We're going to look at how long they've been there. What's the story. We're going to look at the dynamic of the physician group ages. Is this a bunch of physicians that are going to be retiring in five years? So we look at the business, we look at the real estate, we look how the real estate sits within the market and why they're there.   Ben Reinberg (00:16:06) - We look at is the business growing or are they going to be there for a long period of time? What happens if they leave? Sam? Are we going to then have an issue releasing it based on what we're paying, what the rent is? So we look at the real estate for miles and we look at the business. And that will allow us to determine is a survival asset, say, to invest in our brand new fund, the Alliance Medical Property Fund.   Sam Wilson (00:16:31) - Got it. What's a way that you. So you look at these assets. You look at all those things. You put them into your matrix. Okay? Is this an opportunity worth pursuing? But how do you add value in this situation? Or I guess maybe the one you mentioned there where you already have attended in place? What's a value add in the medical office space?   Ben Reinberg (00:16:49) - The value add is is a lot of different ways. There's value that's provided. One is we might have some vacancy that we lease that we pay for on the acquisition.   Ben Reinberg (00:17:00) - Some might be expansion of space. Another way is the credit worthiness of a tenant. We have a lot of tents being absorbed by hospital systems and private equity groups that have better credit than when we started. And also we also unleash renewals. We'll add value whether it's rent increases, whether it's annual escalations, whether it's certain clauses in the lease that we had removed and replaced, it could be reporting financial statements on an annual basis. There's a lot of different ways we might take a five year lease and make it a 15 year lease. And so there's different ways we always look at what's the outcome, what's the end value. And then we back into it and start figuring out what variables can we enhance a lease to add value.   Sam Wilson (00:17:48) - That's that's really, really interesting. It sounds it sounds pretty new. Not not nuanced, but very detailed in the way that you guys find creative ways to restructure these when you buy them in order to add value. And again, I think that goes back to what you were saying earlier about barriers to entry in the space, in that if you don't have that.   Sam Wilson (00:18:09) - In-depth understanding of how to structure these such to add value on the surface to a guy like me, I'd look at it and go, I have no idea, Ben, how to how to even remotely increase value in this property. So that's really cool. You've mentioned something here a few times that I want to circle back on, and you've mentioned default risk, but let's talk about that. It sounds like that is a possibility maybe in some of the things that you've worked on. Can you just speak to that a little bit.   Ben Reinberg (00:18:37) - Yeah. Default risk is basically when a tent defaults on their lease. And so we we basically are looking at what are what's the probability that they're going to honor their lease. Now defaulting is more than just well he didn't pay rent. He didn't pay his cam or or insurance or taxes. It could be, you know, someone poured gasoline on the property and little lit a match mean there's all different ways it could be we had some sort of insurance claim in the tenant didn't take care of it.   Ben Reinberg (00:19:09) - There's different clauses in that lease that can trigger a default. So you have to deal with good people. Integrity is everything. That's one of the core values of our company, Sam. And you have to have tenants that align with your values. And that's something that's so important to us because then you know you're going to pay rent. We don't like to chase people. So what I love about our physicians and the people we do business with, we don't. We only have to chase them. They pay rent because again, look at the premise. Their businesses are predicated on the success of that piece of commercial real estate. Where is it located? How does it function? You know, is the roof intact? No. Roof leaks, is it? How's the structure? How's the Hvac working? So. At the end of the day, when you look at all these facts, the real estate is so critical to providing and helping and assisting revenue generation for that physician group. And that's a really key factor, because that's when real estate becomes very valuable to that doctor group.   Ben Reinberg (00:20:13) - So that day, the the retention rate is in the upper 80s on renewals rates. Well, it has low default risk. And so it's a safe, secure investment where you can create upside. And that's why our investors love about the Alliance Medical Property Fund.   Sam Wilson (00:20:28) - I want to hear more about that. I've got one. One last question. Just just curiosity from my own kind of mental picture of what you guys work on and do. Is there is there a particular size of property that you say, hey, this is the sweet spot for us. I mean, can you talk to that to me a little bit about that? On the size of facilities you're working on?   Ben Reinberg (00:20:46) - Well, generally speaking, we typically see square footage of 7000ft² or more for a medical facility that we look at, that's generally speaking what you that or more in the square footage. Generally we look for deals over $3 million to get our capital out. So we play in a space about 3 to $25 million per acquisition. That's historically where we play.   Sam Wilson (00:21:08) - Got it very, very cool I love it. Well, it's been here the last couple of minutes that we have talking about the medical office fund. Can you give us kind of the details on it on here on the show, or is that something we have to come to you guys directly for?   Ben Reinberg (00:21:21) - Well, I would suggest if you are interested, if you're a passive investor, go to a. SI.com and you can learn more about it. And you can follow me and you could you can invest with us now and we'll get you more information. But basically it's going to be a portfolio of medical and veterinarian properties. We've acquired every five properties in the fund and spinning off great returns. And our average it's a call fund. Average investor typically puts $250,000 or more. You have to be accredited and you have to be able to invest when we call the capital and we have to honor your commitment. So what we do, Sam, is we qualify, we interview our investors. We don't just let anyone invest in the Alliance Medical Property Fund.   Ben Reinberg (00:22:07) - It's a privilege. And by doing that, we want to make sure we're a good fit for your portfolio and that your good fit for us and a good fit is people that honor our values and that are going to be responsive and that are going to be true to their word. And that's really important to us because we have a lot of investors we've never met in person for decades that investing with us that have been wildly successful. So we're going to interview folks out there and make sure that they're qualified, investing what this alliance is not for everyone. You know, we expect people to honor their words. We expect people to be responsive and respectful. And we're going to give you a seven star experience and white glove service if you invest in the Alliance Michael Property Fund. But again, we don't chase people. We are doing what we say we're going to do. We're going to acquire properties and great properties and provide great cash flow with upside. But that day is you're going to have to come to the table and align with us because we're looking for long term relationships.   Ben Reinberg (00:23:11) - And so we spend a tremendous amount of time qualifying our investors and making sure that they're a good fit for us and our team.   Sam Wilson (00:23:21) - That's fantastic. Ben, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today and really break down the medical office space. Investment opportunity. Talked quite a bit about the fund, the way you guys find and add value, the barriers to entry. This has been certainly insightful for me and I have enjoyed it. Just one more time. If you don't mind sharing with our listeners how to learn more about you and your fund, what's the best way to do that?   Ben Reinberg (00:23:44) - Learn more about me. Go to Ben Ryan. I'm on all the social media platforms. You can also listen my podcast, Ben Rosenberg hyphen. I own it, it's growing. We have celebrities in ultra high net worth individuals come on our show from success. Its significance.

Two and a half billion pounds was wagered on the last soccer World Cup in the U.K. alone. There are reckoned to be 400 thousand problem gamblers in this country and that could well be an under estimate. So should we regard gambling as a potentially serious addiction or just a bit of fun?

This week its part 2 of my chat with former footballer Robbie Elliott. Robbie spent two decades as a professional footballer, playing over 140 times for Newcastle United and over 250 appearances in total. Last week we chatted about his own playing career and some of the iconic managers he worked under including Ossie Ardilles, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalgleish, Sam Allardyce and Sir Bobby Robson. This week we focus on his career post playing from his role at Newcastle in the sports science department to moving to the US to join the Nike research lab and the other performance work he's been involved since his retirement. It's a fascinating and insightful journey.Show Notes: Mark Hulse - https://www.nufcblog.com/2009/06/27/coaches-hulse-and-elliott-leave-newcastle-for-liverpool/Nike Portland Headquarters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pqsUfK2N1oNike European Headquarters - https://jobs.nike.com/ehqNike's Innovation Kitchen - https://www.freshnessmag.com/2016/09/20/wired-magazine-nike-innovation-kitchen/England Rugby Sevens - https://www.englandrugby.com/england/sevens-men#indexSeb Coe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_CoeLeBron James - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeBron_JamesTiger Woods - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_WoodsLA Sports Teams - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_in_Los_AngelesRed Bull Facility - https://www.si.com/edge/2015/05/08/sweat-mecca-red-bull-high-performance-centerMalcolm Gladwell Books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Malcolm-Gladwell/e/B000APOE98?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1653303486&sr=8-2The Checklist Manifesto Book by Atul Gawande - https://amzn.to/3G7Jk3m Maradona Documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuErPYsoaR4Living With The Lions Documentary - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Living-Lions-Sir-Ian-McGeechan/dp/B0733RMVQ7One Night In Turin Documentary - https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Night-Turin-Gary-Oldman/dp/B07N126MYGESPN 30 For 30 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_for_30More About Robbie Elliott:Twitter - https://twitter.com/robbieelliott3?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbie-elliott-6971383b/Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_ElliottListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

After last weeks chat with Darius Charles, we stay on the football theme with another ex Professional footballer, Robbie Elliott. Robbie had almost two decades as a professional footballer, playing over 140 times for his beloved Newcastle United and over 250 appearances in total, which also included spells at Sunderland, Leeds, Hartlepool and an eventful four years at Bolton Wanderers. Over his career, he' worked under some iconic managers including Ossie Ardiles, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Sam Allardyce and Sir Bobby Robson and we chat about all of those managers and the twists and turns Robbie had across his career and his learning from that. I met Robbie first when he was working for the Nike research lab and he's forged a career in sports technology, innovation and performance since his retirement. All of that we will chat about in part two next week, but as we sat outside the bustling Westfield shopping centre in West London, we started with Robbie's time in the Newcastle academy and how that compares to the modern-day set-up.Show Notes: Southampton Football Club - https://www.southamptonfc.com/Alan Shearer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_ShearerGateshead Stadium - https://www.gogateshead.com/article/5829/Gateshead-International-StadiumNewcastle Football Club - https://www.nufc.co.uk/Ossie Ardiles - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osvaldo_ArdilesYTS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_Training_SchemeAlan Thompson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Thompson_(footballer,_born_1973)Lee Clark - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Clark_(footballer)Steve Watson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_WatsonJim Smith - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Smith_(footballer,_born_1940)Middlesborough Football Club - https://www.mfc.co.uk/Bobby Saxton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_SaxtonRoy Aitken - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_AitkenJohn Burridge - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_BurridgeACL Injury - https://mayocl.in/3MuoxcMLilleshall - https://www.lilleshallnsc.co.uk/nsc/ Kevin Keegan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_KeeganNewcastle promotion against Grimsby - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNk_W6CFJKwRob Lee - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_LeeJohn Beresford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Beresford_(footballer)Les Ferdinand - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_FerdinandDavid Ginola - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_GinolaBrian Kilcline - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_KilclineKevin Sheedy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Sheedy_(Irish_footballer)David Kelly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kelly_(association_footballer)Steve Howey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Howey_(footballer)Faustino Asprilla - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faustino_AsprillaBarry Venison - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_VenisonPeter Beardsley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_BeardsleyDavid Batty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_BattyZone Of Optional Function - https://bit.ly/3Nk3YzDKenny Dalglish - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_DalglishAlex Ferguson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_FergusonPLC - https://bit.ly/3wuJKMUBolton Wanderers Football Club - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolton_Wanderers_F.C.Steve Black - https://bit.ly/38woNJmEarl Barrett - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_BarrettMichael Appleton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_AppletonColin Todd - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_ToddSam Allardyce - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_AllardyceCharlie Brown - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_BrownMLS - https://www.mlssoccer.com/Arsene Wenger - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars%C3%A8ne_WengerSir Bobby Robson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_RobsonFreddie Shepherd - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_ShepherdNorthumbria University - https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/Bike for Bobby - https://bit.ly/3wlhNYZ=More About Robbie Elliott:Twitter - https://twitter.com/robbieelliott3?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbie-elliott-6971383b/Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_ElliottListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This week I'm delighted to bring you a chat with someone who grabs life by both hands, former footballer Darius Charles.Darius retired from professional footballer just a matter of weeks ago after playing professionally for sixteen years for the likes of Wycombe Wanderers, Brentford and most recently, AFC Wimbledon.We talk about how he feels about that and also the journey football has taken him on personally. His mum had him when she was sixteen years old and Darius has had plenty of obstacles over his life that he has managed to overcome and use as the energy he brings to everyone he meets. We had this conversation in a recording studio close to where Darius spent a large part of his childhood, in Hanwell, West London. Darius is currently being followed by a documentary crew and our conversation in the studio will be part of a programme called 'Sidelines', which will be out later in the year.I got to know Darius about a year ago and since then I've always enjoyed and looked forward to every conversation we have ever had. As he says himself, he's a very fiery character and I think by the end of this conversation you will see how he is using that desire in a positive way, a passion that will change lives. We talk about role models, creating opportunities and being self-sufficient, the fear of your career always being one manager's decision away from ending as well as dealing with being loaned out and Injured. But we start with that difficult decision to hang up his boots.Show Notes: Brentford Football Club - https://www.brentfordfc.com/Helen Keller - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_KellerScott Fitzgerald - https://bit.ly/3ysK4y0Thurrock Football Club - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurrock_F.C.Nathan Broome - https://bit.ly/3wlzQggGareth Ainsworth - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_AinsworthGraham Westley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_WestleySocial Identity Theory - https://www.britannica.com/topic/social-identity-theoryPaulo Coelho book 'The Alchemist' - https://amzn.to/3vYJcj1Don Miguel Ruiz book 'The Four Agreements' - https://amzn.to/3yu8KXeThe Last Dance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQk2hJs2ToAMichael Jordan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_JordanBill Cartwright - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_CartwrightChicago Bulls - https://www.nba.com/bulls/Steve Kerr - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_KerrPhil Jackson's book ‘Eleven Rings' - https://amzn.to/3yrOFk4Jay Shetty's Podcast - https://apple.co/3yrOQMgJake Humphrey's High Performance Podcast - https://apple.co/3whdZ9YSteven Bartlett's Podcast - https://apple.co/3l0BdMhErwin Valencia's Podcast Episode - https://apple.co/38gxqaIMaya Angelou - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_AngelouKendrick Lamar - https://www.kendricklamar.com/More About Darius Charles:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/everybody_lovesd/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/dariuscharles00LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3L0qKeqWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_CharlesListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This is the second part of the conversation I had with Leinster Rugby senior coach, Stuart Lancaster who has held senior leadership positions at many levels of the game including being the former England Rugby head coach. In part one we chatted about the foundations of culture, putting teams together and knowing your own personal strengths and weaknesses. In this episode we jump around a bit again and touch on subjects like managing time and energy, continual learning and the art of teaching, but to kick things of I asked him what traits best describe him as a coach.Show Notes: Kevin Bowring - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Bowring Brian Ashton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Ashton_(rugby_union)Bill Beswick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_BeswickRod MacQueen's Autobiography - https://amzn.to/3vsMElQAustralian RWC Team - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_national_rugby_union_teamNewbury Rugby - https://www.newburyrugby.co.uk/teams/42243Joe Marchant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Marchant_(rugby_union)Sarah Milne Rowe book 'SHED - https://amzn.to/3OHYQXwWarren Gatland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_GatlandOwen Eastwood - ‘Belonging' - https://amzn.to/3k796dOOwen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216?i=1000529539010Leaders In Sport - https://leadersinsport.com/South African Cricket Team - https://bit.ly/3s0HECSSophie Goldschmidt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_GoldschmidtMichael Ala'Alatoa - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/player?PlayGuid=MA209308Scott Robertson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Robertson_(rugby_union)Doug Lemov - https://my.chartered.college/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1.-Cold-Calling.pdfDoug Lemoff book ‘A Coaches Guide To Teaching' - https://amzn.to/38zBUZULeeds Carneigie - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_CarnegieJohn Wooden - 'Wooden On Leadership' - https://amzn.to/3vHutHZRic Charlesworth - 'World's Best' - https://amzn.to/3K76tDmBill Walsh - 'The Score Takes Care Of Itself' - https://amzn.to/3vDNcV2Jim Collins book ‘Good To Great' - https://amzn.to/3kqvGOKKevin Murray's books - https://amzn.to/3krJjNwJohn C.

Todays show is the first part of another brilliant conversation, this time with rugby coach Stuart Lancaster.Stuart is currently coaching Leinster Rugby and he's held leadership, management and coaching positions at many levels of the game including being the former England Rugby head coach. I've also worked with Stuart during my time at England Rugby and have coached against him during his time at Leeds and we discuss that time in both our lives later in this show. He's a wealth of knowledge around a whole host of topics and over the two shows we delve into leadership, joining new organisations, transitioning from one role to another, creating and maintaining cultures as well as a tonne and of references to books and resources that has helped Stuart continue his learning journey and we started with Stuart explaining where he sees culture sitting in the construction area of a high performance environment.Show Notes: Jim Collins Book ‘Good To Great' - https://amzn.to/38myPfxLeinster Rugby - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/Leo Cullen - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/staff/leo-cullen/Performance Clock - https://wgcoaching.com/the-performance-clock-the-most-important-concept-in-high-performance-sport/Kettlethorpe High School - https://kettlethorpehigh.co.uk/Andy Farrell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_FarrellGraham Rowntree - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_RowntreeSocial Identity Theory - https://www.simplypsychology.org/social-identity-theory.htmlDaryl Powell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_PowellSimon Middleton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_MiddletonEngland Saxons - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_A_national_rugby_union_teamGuy Easterby - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/staff/guy-easterby/Robin McBride - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/staff/john-fogarty/Stuart Hooper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_HooperPaul Sackey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_SackeyRussell Earnshaw - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_EarnshawWayne Bennett - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Bennett_(rugby_league)Alastair Clarkson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_ClarksonFrancois Pienaar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francois_PienaarEngland Cricket - https://www.ecb.co.uk/Queensland Reds - https://reds.rugby/Counties Manukau - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_Manukau_Rugby_Football_UnionSteve Jobs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_JobsMatthew Syed Book 'Rebel Ideas' - https://amzn.to/3kaByvoDavid Brailsford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_BrailsfordBritish Cycling - https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/Team Sky - https://www.ineosgrenadiers.com/article/team-sky-to-become-team-ineosMartin Glenn - https://www.thefa.com/news/2018/dec/13/martin-glenn-statement-131218Gareth Southgate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_SouthgateOther Book's That Stuart Recommends:Bill Walsh - 'The Score Takes Care Of Itself' - https://amzn.to/3vDNcV2John Wooden - 'Wooden On Leadership' - https://amzn.to/3vHutHZRic Charlesworth - 'World's Best' - https://amzn.to/3K76tDmJohn C.

It's part two of my conversation with former Met Police Superintendent, John Sutherland. From sieges that shut down London, to the time he got things very wrong when communicating to his team and his own personal battle with his mental health, this is another cracking episode, and we pick up from where we left off, talking about Leadership and perhaps it's most important trait.Show Notes: Jurgen Klopp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_KloppChief Superintendent - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_superintendentThe Siege Of London - https://bit.ly/37CKDtHTottenham Court Road - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_RoadStephen Fry on mental health - https://bit.ly/3LZX1DfRuby Wax on mental health - https://bit.ly/3vcaOQjThe Body Keeps The Score book - https://amzn.to/3Egcwo1Mahatmu Gandhi Quote - https://bit.ly/3xjQnDNHugh Jackman on Tim Ferris - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-tim-ferriss-show/id863897795?i=1000480367239Shawshank Redemption - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB3S9bIacoMark Kermode's Book on the Shawshank Redemption - https://amzn.to/3jnk6U9Bruce Cockburn - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Cockburn Martin Luther King - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr.These Three Remain Quote - https://bit.ly/3xjR3cjMore About John Sutherland:Website - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/about/Media Agency - https://greeneheaton.co.uk/clients/john-sutherland/Twitter - @policecommander‘Blue' book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r2qSCY‘Crossing The Line' book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r5ceL7'The Siege' book - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/the-siege/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibl3M4dTF2ULinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-sutherland-61994992/?originalSubdomain=ukListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

John Sutherland joined the Met Police in 1992 after receiving the baton of honour, presented to the outstanding student during an officer's basic training. He quickly rose through the ranks and as it says on the back cover of his first book 'Blue', experienced all that is extraordinary about a life in blue: saving lives, finding the lost, comforting the broken and helping taking the dangerous people off the streets. With the highs came the lows and in 2013 John suffered a major nervous breakdown and we talk about and how he's managed to wrestle control back, later in the podcast.A third book and his first in the fiction category 'The Siege' is on its way, straddling his second book 'Crossing The Line' and before getting into subjects like hostage negotiation, the art of listening and the reason for becoming a policeman in the first place, we spoke about why he started writing and the routines around that.Show Notes: Jose Mourinho - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_MourinhoJurgen Klopp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Klopp‘Blue' book - https://amzn.to/3r2qSCY‘Crossing The Line' book - https://amzn.to/3r5ceL7'The Siege' book - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/the-siege/Ben's book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1474608272/Tom Fordyce - https://twitter.com/tomfordyce?lang=enJim Kwik's book ‘Limitless' - https://amzn.to/37neYN6Damascus Road - https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/road+to+DamascusHammersmith Broadway -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersmith_BroadwayLancashire Police - https://www.lancashire.police.uk/Ben's Olympic Gold Medal - https://www.sportsjoe.ie/rugby/ben-ryan-fiji-olympic-sevens-rugby-187712The Shawshank Redemption Film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmzuHjWmXOcAndy Millburn Podcast Episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216?i=1000552662688Boston Consultancy Group - https://www.bcg.com/en-gb/Dog Day Afternoon Film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3STmwLDDBcIPhil Williams Head of Scotland Yard Hostage Unit - https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-williams-30242363/?originalSubdomain=ukChinese Symbol For Listening - https://rwwleadership.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/the-chinese-symbol-for-listening/ More About John Sutherland:Website - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/about/Media Agency - https://greeneheaton.co.uk/clients/john-sutherland/Twitter - @policecommander‘Blue' book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r2qSCY‘Crossing The Line' book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r5ceL7'The Siege' book - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/the-siege/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibl3M4dTF2ULinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-sutherland-61994992/?originalSubdomain=ukListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

My guest this week questions the idea of what success is and how most people can look at sport and life in a very different way.Laurence Halsted is a double-Olympian, a fencer who achieved European medals as well helping to take the GB fencing programme from amateur to professional and qualify for an Olympics in the team event for the first time in the modern era.He's a former performance director for the Danish Fencing Federation and now Director of Mentoring at The True Athlete Project as well as a performance consultant and coach. This podcast turns into a fascinating conversation that evolves around topics such as mentoring, dealing with failure and doubt, life balance and the power of positive relationships, but we start with the idea of self-compassion.Show Notes: Deloitte - https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/explore/home.htmlKatie Warriner - https://www.theprimeclinic.co.uk/katie-warriner-psychologistSteve Peters - https://chimpmanagement.com/professor-steve-peters/London 2012 - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/london-2012Rio 2016 - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/rio-2016Team Denmark - https://www.dif.dk/Percy Cerutty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_CeruttyHerb Elliott - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_ElliottFiji Sevens Rugby Team - https://www.fijirugby.com/teams/national-7s/fijii-7s/Sigatoka Sand Dunes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigatoka_Sand_DunesChris Skelley Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-25-chris-skelley/Owen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-14-owen-eastwood/The Second Arrow Buddhist Parable - https://mindfulnessmeditation.net.au/arrow/More About Laurence Halsted:Personal Website - https://www.laurencehalsted.com/The True Athlete Project Website - https://www.thetrueathleteproject.org/TeamGB Website - https://www.teamgb.com/athlete/laurence-halsted/41H6AKeLqla6fzkNgslUthBook on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3JNaJbTTwitter - https://twitter.com/laurencehalstedFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/laurence.halsted/photosLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3DlWgRFWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_HalstedListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

In part two of my discussion with Craig White we go into Transcendental Meditation, centering, flow states, the roles of breath, sound, touch and movement and much, much more, but we start by talking about Embodied Learning - what it means, and how it works, as well as the sensation we've all felt, our gut feeling.Show Notes: Alan Watts - https://www.youtube.com/c/AlanWattsOrg/videos James Haskell Podcast episode with Craig - https://apple.co/3CKiKeLNLP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programmingOsea Kolinisau Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-15-osea-kolinisau/Men Without Masks E-book - https://www.menwithoutmasks.com/blogMore About Craig White:Website - https://www.craigwhitementoring.com/Men Without Masks Website - https://www.menwithoutmasks.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craigwhitementoring/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/cw_mentoringLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-white-737087a/?originalSubdomain=ukListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

Craig White's credentials in rugby are impeccable. Roles at Wasps, Ireland, Wales, The British and Irish Lions as well as his journey with the Uruguay team at the last Rugby World Cup, fill his CV. He started in strength and conditioning but has added so much more at places like Bolton Wanderers Football Club, where he acted as consultant to manager Sam Alladyce.Relating to the Bolton part of his life, there is some swearing in this section of the podcast. We don't usually include swearing as we know the podcast is consumed by listeners of all ages, but in this instance we felt it added value and was essential to one of the funnier stories in the programme, so we hope you don't mind too much.Part one is mainly about Craig's journey and we touch on subjects like pain, character, rapport, feedback and serving people, whilst in part two we go deeper into some of the specific tools and techniques he uses, but we start with his upbringing and how that informed his path from an early age.Show Notes: Rugby League - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_leagueWaterloo Rugby Team - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_F.C.The Alchemist Book by Paulo Coelho - https://amzn.to/3MuMdhdHod Carrier - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_hodJohn Demartini - https://drdemartini.comWarren Buffet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_BuffettRichard Branson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_BransonIreland Rugby - https://www.irishrugby.ie/Lansdowne Road - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lansdowne_RoadAFC Wimbledon - https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/Jerk Chicken - https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/jerk_chicken/Sale RFC - https://www.salesharks.com/Bolton Wanderers Football Club - https://www.bwfc.co.uk/Sam Allardyce - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_AllardycePhil Brown - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Brown_(footballer,_born_1959)Wasps Rugby Club - https://www.wasps.co.uk/Warren Gatland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_GatlandLawrence Dallaglio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_DallaglioShaun Edwards - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_Edwards Paul Stridgeon - https://www.wru.wales/staff/paul-stridgeon/Dave Haddfield - https://coachscompanion.com/dave-hadfield/Leicester Rugby Club - https://www.leicestertigers.com/Austin Swain Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-6-austin-swain-part-1/2005 & 2009 British & Irish Lions Tours - https://www.lionsrugby.com/2019 Rugby World Cup - https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2019/Uruguay Rugby - https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2019/teams/uruguayMantra - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MantraMore About Craig White:Website - https://www.craigwhitementoring.com/Men Without Masks Website - https://www.menwithoutmasks.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craigwhitementoring/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/cw_mentoringLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-white-737087a/?originalSubdomain=ukShow Notes - Listen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

Andrew Milburn retired from the US Marine Corps in 2019 and has since gone on to write the highly acclaimed memoir ‘When The Tempest Gathers: A Marine Special Operations Commander At War'. As an infantry and special operations officer, Andy has had operational command at every rank which included leading the multinational special operations task force given the mission of defeating ISIS in Iraq. This has obviously led to some very dangerous situations and from all his experiences, he shares with me what he thinks are some of the key skills and attributes needed to be an effective leader, as well as the culture that needs to be created. How the small accumulation of dropping of standards or turning a blind eye leads to disaster and much much more.This conversation was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine but, a lot of what Andy talks about is directly actionable, especially with how President Zelensky is conducting himself, facing his very own and very real tempest, but, having been educated at St Pauls school in Hammersmith and University College London, my first question was how he ended up in the US Marine Corps in the first place.More About Andy Milburn:Book - https://amzn.to/3vq9lrnIrregular War Podcast - https://bit.ly/3hvO4nWTwitter - https://twitter.com/andymilburn8LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2020/Show Notes: Aiden McCullen Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-22-aidan-mccullen/Aidan McCullen Innovation Show Podcast - https://theinnovationshow.io/about/Boarding School Syndrome book - https://amzn.to/3C7ZJ5YEvelyn Waugh - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_WaughBoy George - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_GeorgeSomalia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)Task Force Ranger - https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)Marionette - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MarionettePavlovian - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/PavlovianMy Lai massacre - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%E1%BB%B9_Lai_massacreHaditha massacre - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haditha_massacreFull Metal Jacket - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Metal_JacketMali incident - https://abcn.ws/3McTJx8George Orwell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_OrwellWinston Churchill - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_ChurchillChurchill's Chief of Staff - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Brooke,_1st_Viscount_AlanbrookeListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

On Series #01 Episode #002, editor in chief Culden Kamea speaks on rugby player Amenoni Nasilasila and the rehabilitation scheme, the Yellow Ribbon Program. Nasilasila grew up in Namatakula, the famous town known for creating rugby union and league stars like Noa Nadruku who is his uncle,[2] Lote Tuqiri who is his cousin[2] and Nemani Nadolo. He played rugby league and was part of the Fiji Residents Rugby league side, a feeder for the Fiji Bati. He wanted a career in rugby league and waited for 3 years for offers but then switched to rugby union joining a top local 7's club, Ratu Filise.[2] He was spotted by then coach Ben Ryan who saw him playing in one of the local tournaments and included him in his extended side for the 2014 Gold Coast Sevens but an injury ruled him out on the eleventh hour.[3] He made his debut at the 2014 Dubai Sevens making his debut against France scoring a try in their 54-7 thrashing.[4] He did not make the Fiji side to the 2016 Olympic Games He also represented his provincial side, Navosa in the Skipper Cup playing at playmaker and halfback.[5] He captained the Fiji Barbarians 7's side top the SUDAmerica 7's in December 2016.[6] He was included by the new Fiji 7's coach, Gareth Baber for the 2016–17 World Rugby Sevens Series.[7] Nasilasila was selected as the 13th man for the first tournament, of the 2017–18 World Rugby Sevens Series, the 2017 Dubai Sevens but an injury to Waisea Nacuqu on Day One saw him getting selected for the main team and played very well and got praises from the coach after helping Fiji beat the Australia in the dying stages of their final pool game[8] and after Naququ failed to recover in time, he made the main team for the 2017 South Africa Sevens. His performance in that tournament saw him make the Dream Team for the first time as well as being named the DHL Impact Player of the Cape Town 7s.[9] ### Host Culden Kamea treats you to post-match and tournament reviews and analysis of XVs and 7s rugby games involving Fiji national teams both women and men, interviews and news.    #TEIVOVOFijiRugbyShow #TeivovoRugby #TeivovoDigital #rugby #rugby7s #FijiRugby #rugbyunion #rugbyleague #Raka #team #rugbytraining #sports #FRU #Fiji --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/teivovo-rugby/message

This week's podcast comes from one of the most inhospitable but beautiful places on earth as we chat to explorer, Wendy Searle.A mother of four with a busy job, Wendy wanted to show others that extraordinary is available to everyone. She is the seventh woman and fourth fastest in history to ski solo and unassisted from the coastline of Antartica to the South Pole. The 715 mile route took her 42 days, she fell over every day, lost 12kg in bodyweight, had moments of pure elation and moments of pure devastatio, but through it all, she never had a single day off and kept her mantra 'stop crying and start skiing' close to hand.It was a really refreshing chat with Wendy. She doesn't come from a very sporty background. No high level sporting success on her CV and she has never been part of a high performance programme, in a traditional way. Its all come from her drive and her purity of purpose. We talk planning and logistics, getting up early, dealing with sastrugi's and skiing through whiteout's, as well as just being able to deal with the enormity of the challenge and all the curve balls it throws at you without anyone else's help.And we started with the question “Why did you attempt this?”More About Wendy Searle:Website - https://southpole2020.com/Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/user-312058116Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/betweensnowandsky/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/betweensnowskyLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-searle-91262470/Show Notes - Show Notes: Sastrugi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SastrugiPollyanna - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna_(1960_film)Percy Cerutty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_CeruttyRobert Scott - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Falcon_ScottErnest Shackleton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Shackleton Shackleton Family Motto - Fortitudine Vincimus ‘by endurance we conquer'Maya Angelou - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Angelou Atomic Habits book - https://amzn.to/3H8TwYXMarshmallow Test - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_oy9614HQLiz McColgan Podcast Episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216?i=1000528074743Audible - https://adbl.co/3AFgswKThe Secret Barrister book - https://amzn.to/3o4yiE3Ben McIntyre Rogue Heroes book - https://amzn.to/3G7trbADavid Mitchell book - https://amzn.to/3r2Pzj4 / https://amzn.to/3u5NWTKPunta Arenas in Chile - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punta_Arenas Union Glacier Logistics Base - https://antarctic-logistics.com/camp/union-glacier-camp/British Cycling Innovation - Listen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

In This Episode:  This conversation could have gone on for hours, Ben has some incredible stories to share. Listen for lessons on taking risks, how to train and raise up leaders and finding out people's motivations and their why. There is so much richness in this episode. Ben's early days as a rugby player Progression as a coach Stories from his time in Fiji Principles relating to business and life About This Wonderful Person:  Ben Ryan has to be one of  the most in-demand speakers we have had the pleasure of speaking to on the Wonderful People podcast. Organisations and audiences around the world want to hear from the man who achieved legendary status as one of the greatest rugby coaches of his generation. We were delighted to chat to Ben Ryan who also goes by the name of Ratu Peni Rayani Latianara when in Fiji. He is the most successful men's rugby sevens coach in the world and the only rugby coach to win Continental, World and Olympic titles. We got to hear all about the incredible success he had taking the Fijian team to Olympic Gold glory.  

This week's guest is professional tennis player, Olympic medallist and founder of the brilliant High Impact Athletes organisation, New Zealander, Marcus Daniell. The chat you're about to hear is a very honest one from someone who's learnt so much from the journey he has taken. It's easy to think that being a professional athlete means that, not only do you know everything about preparation and performance, but that you also have an entourage around you to help and guide you. For the huge majority of those that make a living playing sport professionally, there is no full time support group and they are often doing the majority of their work on their own. Being self-sufficient is something we talk a lot about and how you can become more self-reliant and pro active. Going to an Olympic Games and how being part of a bigger group really added value for him and we expand upon the mistakes he has made and the learnings from it all. Away from the court the obvious drive that Marcus has, propelled him into starting up an organisation called High Impact Athletes, which aims to assist sports people with charitable giving and that's a rich part of the diet of topics that we touch upon this week, but we start with how he had to chose, at a pretty early age, between tennis and football, two sports he was playing at international level.More About Marcus Daniell:High Impact Athletes Website - https://highimpactathletes.org/teamWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_DaniellATP Profile - https://www.atptour.com/en/players/marcus-daniell/d763/overviewInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/marcusdaniellnz/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/marcusdaniellLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3swYzwuShow Notes - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/Show Notes: Banská Bystrica in Slovakia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bansk%C3%A1_BystricaMichael Bourne - https://bit.ly/3sKzePuLTA - https://www.lta.org.uk/Owen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-14-owen-eastwood/Mike Venus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Venus_(tennis)David Sammel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_SammelHaka - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HakaPounamu Stone - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PounamuMana - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManaArthur Ashe Humanitarian Award - https://bit.ly/34YR3lzHigh Impact Athletes - https://highimpactathletes.org/Effective Altruism - https://www.effectivealtruism.org/80,000 Hours Website - https://bit.ly/3HJaHAPMaslow's Hierarchy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needsAtmosfair - https://www.atmosfair.de/en/Clean Air Task Force - https://www.catf.us/Carbon 180 - https://carbon180.org/Cool Earth - https://bit.ly/3uDwjeb'The Life You Can Save' book by Peter Singer - https://amzn.to/3Ll70DH'Stranger In A Strange Land' book by Robert Heinlein - https://amzn.to/34pPkGoListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben's Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen's Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

Our Great Coach on this episode is Ben Ryan. Ben is the most successful men's rugby sevens coach in history, he is the only coach to have won Continental, World and Olympic titles. He started his international career in 2007 with England 7's, coaching them in over 300 matches. In 2013 he took over as the coach of Fiji 7's, and led the team to the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The gold medal was the first ever medal of any colour, won by Fiji at any Olympics. As a result of that victory he was awarded the Companion of the Order of Fiji and is depicted on the reverse of a circulating 50 cent coin, and on the front of a circulating commemorative $7 banknote. Ben has written a wonderful book about his experience with the Fiji 7's called Sevens Heaven which I highly recommend. He is also the host of his own terrific podcast called aptly enough, The Ben Ryan Podcast. Ben is an authentic coach with deep reserve of hard-won wisdom. He is calm, thoughtful, and committed to being the type of leader who can juggle the high care high challenge coaching style that many aspire to, but few manage to master. He is honest about his shortcomings, and humble about his achievements, and secure enough in himself to be able to build rapport easily. The parts of our conversation that stayed with me long afterwards were his view that great coaches create a safe psychological space, within an agreed set of guardrails, that let people be the best versions of themselves. And that you create psychological safety within a team, by giving the members a voice in defining the expectations they aspires to. How his core philosophy is not making people ever feel that they're the runt of the litter, or they're anything other than valued. And wanting to leave a legacy of redefining what is possible for the small nations, and teams, on the world stage. This is a terrific discussion and I hope you enjoy it as much as Jim and I did.

This episode also features an interview with Theos researcher Ben Ryan on migration and the role religious groups are playing in refugee aid and resettlement.
