Have you ever felt overwhelmed by stress and wondered how some people find the courage to grow stronger under pressure, while others burn out? In a world obsessed with comfort, ease and avoiding discomfort, today's guest offers a powerful reframe: stress isn't the enemy - how we respond to it is. In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Dr Paul Taylor, a Psychophysiologist, former Royal Navy Officer, and one of the world's leading experts in hardiness - the science of turning stress into growth, strength and resilience. Paul brings a rare depth of insight, combining neuroscience, psychology, nutrition, exercise science, military leadership and real-world performance. He's the author of the bestselling, award-winning Death By Comfort and his newly released book The Hardiness Effect, and host of the Hardiness Podcast, ranked in the top 0.5% of podcasts globally. Together, we explore why modern life is quietly eroding our resilience, how over-comfort is making us more fragile, and why learning to lean into challenge - rather than avoid it - is essential for wellbeing, leadership and long-term fulfilment. I genuinely don't think I've ever written so many key takeaways from a single episode. Paul is incredibly inspiring - calm, practical and deeply human in the way he explains stress, courage and growth. This conversation challenged my thinking and reinforced something I see every day in my coaching work: mindset alone isn't enough. True resilience lives in the body, the nervous system and our willingness to meet discomfort with intention. If stress has been feeling heavy, relentless or overwhelming - this episode will give you an entirely new lens. Key Episode Takeaways: Hardiness isn't about avoiding stress - it's the courage to grow because of it Why comfort is quietly undermining our resilience and wellbeing How Stoicism is about feeling emotion without being controlled by it You always have a choice in how you respond - even under pressure Why the fight response (not just flight or freeze) plays a vital role in healthy stress management About the Guest: Dr. Paul Taylor is a Psychophysiologist, with a PhD in Psychology, separate master's degrees in Exercise Science and Nutrition and a postgraduate qualification in Neuroscience. A former Royal Navy Officer and Adjunct Professor at University of San Francisco, Paul is a leading expert in hardiness - the cutting-edge science that transforms stress into competitive advantage. As Director of Paul Taylor Consulting, he delivers keynote talks and hardiness training, leadership and performance workshops to companies such as Oracle, SAP, PWC, NAB, CBA, BUPA & the Australian Military. He has conducted published research that shows that his programs have proven benefits for increasing hardiness, cognitive function and employee wellbeing, whilst reducing burnout across multiple industries. Paul is the author of the best-selling, multiple award-winning book "Death By Comfort" and has just released his second book, "The Hardiness Effect". Paul also hosts the Hardiness Podcast, which is in the top 0.5% of all podcasts globally, and has developed a hardiness app to help people develop this crucial life skill. His media experience includes co-hosting the TV series "Body and Brain Overhaul," appearing on "The Biggest Loser" as a subject matter expert and being voted Australian Fitness Industry presenter of the year twice. Paul's high-pressure leadership experience includes roles as Airborne Anti-submarine Warfare Officer and Helicopter Search-And-Rescue Crew Member with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. He's undergone rigorous Military Combat Survival training, became a professional boxer in 2012, and in 2021, both Paul and his son Oscar became Australian Karate Champions.

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Tory Trewhitt - author, executive health coach, exercise physiologist and motivational speaker, who grew up in the Mornington Peninsula and has called Byron Bay home for the past nine years.Tory shares the hard lessons that shaped him, from his early years at an all boys school to heading straight into university and eventually stepping into corporate health. After landing a role with Bupa in London, he worked across fitness-for-duty assessments, drug and alcohol screening and rehabilitation, gaining a close look at the pressures people carry into their working lives.Passionate about his work but candid about the challenges of managing people, Tory reflects on what those early roles taught him about leadership, accountability and human behaviour. He talks about the origins of his book, Blokes Inc - Play a Bigger Game, and why men often bottle up health concerns, struggle with vulnerability and lean away from emotional openness. He also explores whether younger generations are beginning to shift these long-held patterns.Tory speaks openly about addiction, the stories people bring to him, what he has learnt from years of accountability training and rehabilitation work, and how he protects his own wellbeing while supporting others.If you'd like to share your story or provide feedback, please contact us via email at chrishanley@byronbayfn.com

It's becoming a more common topic of discussion. According to BUPA.co.uk, “around one in every 10 older children and adults are thought to have lactose intolerance”. It might be thought of as a disease by some, but in fact it's quite the opposite. Lactose intolerance is due to a natural process, which sees people's bodies produce less of an enzyme called lactase as they age. Lactose is a natural sugar found in all mammalian milks, including cow's, sheep's, mare's, and even human breast milk. It's made up of galactose and glucose, two types of simple sugars. What's the difference between lactose and lactase then? Do lactose intolerant people have to stop consuming all dairy products to avoid symptoms then? How can you determine if you have lactose intolerance? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Atomic 212°’s Chief Strategy Officer, Asier Carazo and Bupa's GM of Marketing, Naomi Driver once shared a common fear that permeates much of the industry: How does a brand advance the cause for the 20 per cent of Australians with a disability – without being unintentionally tokenistic or offensive? Driver says those concerns often stop her marketing peers from doing anything – she would know given it was also once her experience. Driver shares some personal anecdotes that are funny now but mortifying at the time: She once told Mike Rolls, who lives with a double amputation, she liked “keeping people on their toes … then realised I’d put my foot in my mouth”. Rolls “is a mate” and enjoyed making her feel uncomfortable for a few seconds. But Driver said it made her think even harder about the language used across Bupa’s creative and digital assets – and Bupa's Paralympics program around last year's event (with ads featuring Rolls, who’s humour helped shape the script) is a benchmark for what brands can and should do, according to Inclusively Made’s CEO, Paul Nunnari. Like Driver, Asier Carazo’s fears have also flipped. He cites Atomic 212° colleague, Senior Account Exec Angus McLeod as an advocate for the missing piece in media industry planning. McLeod lost his hearing after an accident and often experiences media that hasn’t taken into account people who are deaf or hard of hearing. “Working side by side with Angus is just understanding the reality of millions of Australians,” says Carazo. “Twenty per cent of Australians live with some form of disability. Are we even thinking about them when we put forward the media plan? Are we challenging publishers to include accessibility features on the ads? Are we challenging creative agencies to think about accessibility as a forethought, not as an afterthought?” Roy Morgan, the go-to source for media pros, started reporting on Australians living with disability within its database in the last quarter. That’s a win, adds Carazo, “but what I would love to see is greater genuine curiosity around understanding the reality of this country … As marketers, we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on research and testing, but then you're not allocating any money to understanding how your audiences are able to consume media.” Inclusively Made has a framework for brands that do want to make inclusivity BAU. The key: “Don't let perfection get in the way of progress … just get the ball rolling,” says CEO Paul Nunnari. “It's not always going to be perfect, but at least having the conversation, seeing what are those low hanging fruits that can be achieved with minimal risk outputs is a really good place to start.” While Bupa’s Paralympics approach is the benchmark, per Nunnari, it can be as simple as having a wheelchair user in the background of an ad, having a coffee with a mate. “It doesn’t need to be highlighted, it doesn’t need to be inspirational. It’s just two blokes getting together having a coffee, right? It's the norm.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it time to say goodbye to your DSLR? Are mirrorless cameras really the future of dental photography? If your DSLR is still working perfectly, should you upgrade now or wait for the right time? Jaz is joined by Dr. Ashish Soneji in this game-changing episode to discuss the death of the DSLR and why the shift to mirrorless cameras is inevitable. They break down whether you should proactively switch or strategically hold off, plus what this means for your existing lenses. You'll also learn the rules of mix and match—can you use your current DSLR lens on a mirrorless body? And most importantly, which mirrorless lenses are worth buying and which ones to avoid (hint: if they don't have markings, you might be in trouble!). If you care about consistent, high-quality dental photography, this episode is a must-listen! https://youtu.be/Y29Mnz26ZIU Watch PDP239 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Jaz introduces the 21-Day Photography Challenge for beginners, featuring 21 short videos to help dentists take clear, well-framed photos. In just three weeks, participants will master essential shots, including tricky occlusal views, at their own pace. Key Takeaways: Investing in quality equipment pays off in the long run. Mirrorless cameras offer significant advantages over DSLRs. Lighting is crucial for capturing quality images. Standardized images require barrel markings on lenses. Second-hand DSLRs can be a cost-effective option for beginners. The evolution of camera technology impacts photography practices. Choosing the right lens is essential for dental photography. Flash consistency is vital for accurate representation in images. Upgrading to mirrorless is a smart move for future-proofing photography. Upgrading your camera setup should align with your clinical progression. Mirrorless cameras are lighter and offer better image quality. Consider the size and transportability of your camera kit. Timing for upgrades can be linked to job changes or equipment failures. Image quality is influenced by megapixels, especially for presentations and printing. Using the right tools, like smaller mirrors and retractors, can improve photography outcomes. Testing second-hand cameras before purchase is crucial to avoid issues. Mobile photography is improving, but may not match the quality of dedicated cameras. Investing in good photographic equipment is essential for quality results.

Along the way, she had some incredible experiences, including winning a bronze medal at World Cup III and becoming a two-time Henley Royal Regatta winner. During the 2021–2022 season, Susie struggled with RED-s while training full time with the British Team (which ultimately contributed to her retirement from the sport in 2024). This challenging period opened her eyes to the importance of athlete welfare and health. Since retiring from rowing and becoming a mum, she has been dedicated to supporting the welfare needs of athletes. Susie works at Oxford Brookes University, where she provides care for student-athletes in distress. About the course:Female athletes are more prone to develop a complicated relationship with food due to the unrealistic expectations of social media, society or peer pressure. Therefore, it is essential to equip athletes with various tools that would help with early detection of undereating. It's also advisable to pay an extra attention to young athletes who are going through growth development and light weight rowers who must train with a significantly lower energy intake than open weight. Low energy availability (LEA) and relative energy deficiency in sports can impact both genders, however the sole purpose of this course is to focus on female physiology.LEA and RED-s courses for female rowers are a comprehensive guide to an early management and detection of disordered eating which can be detrimental for health. Both courses have been designed for parents, coaches, athletes or organisations who are serious about finding out more about preventative measurements or solutions to aid with an early detection of LEA or RED-S.The material covers all of the essential subjects linked with eating habits and training's energy demands. Every module contains a video, slide and a description, additionally at the bottom of the course users can find documents and other resources to download. There are two different courses to chose from one is for individuals and the second one for organisations like sports clubs or universities.

This week, we sit down with Sam Flynn, COO and co-founder of Josef, to separate substance from hype in the rapidly evolving world of legal tech. Sam shares his passionate stance that “RAG is not dead,” defending Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) as a foundational and still deeply relevant method for deploying AI in the legal industry—despite the flashy allure of agentic AI. His nuanced take reminds listeners that success in this space depends not only on the sophistication of the technology, but on doing the “boring” foundational work: ensuring data integrity, context-aware chunking, and responsible workflows.Throughout the discussion, Sam champions the idea that great legal technology should not just enhance expert workflows but make legal information accessible to non-experts. With examples from Josef's clients like L'Oréal, Bumble, and Bupa, Sam illustrates how Josef's tools allow legal departments to offload routine work through reliable self-service systems—freeing up time for more strategic thinking while improving speed, compliance, and consistency across organizations. He makes the case that empowering end users with trustworthy tools isn't just good tech—it's a new model for scaling legal and compliance services.A key highlight is Josef's Roxanne project, developed in collaboration with Housing Court Answers and NYU. Roxanne is an AI-powered tool designed to help tenants in New York navigate the complexities of housing law. Sam outlines the safeguards that ensure Roxanne's answers are accurate and compliant, such as closed-domain data sources, human-in-the-loop validation, and smart escalation workflows. The conversation touches on the broader access to justice (A2J) implications of this technology—arguing that when designed carefully, AI can amplify the reach and impact of legal aid organizations by orders of magnitude.The episode doesn't shy away from the tensions legal professionals feel when automation enters their domain. Sam offers a powerful reframing: instead of seeing these tools as a threat, lawyers should view them as opportunities to offload low-value tasks and expand their influence. The goal, he says, is not to cut jobs—but to redefine the kind of work legal professionals do, making space for more proactive, strategic, and meaningful engagements within organizations and communities.As the conversation wraps, Sam shares his optimism about the future—tempered by a clear-eyed understanding of the human factors that will determine success. While the technology is ready, the question is whether legal professionals will step up and take the lead. His call to action is clear: focus less on the hype, and more on the systems, safety, and trust that make tech transformative. Whether you're a legal technologist, innovator, or cautious observer, this episode offers a grounded and inspiring look at what it takes to build legal tech that actually works.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeSpecial Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.
