Strap on your seatbelt because we're ending Season One with a bang. Premiering part 2 of Ari "Boss" Koutsoubos' story the big fella share's his views, lets rip on his experiences, thoughts and messaging to our audience in a no BS and blokified way.Ari's partner has a deep love for horses, he met her at a low and vulnerable point in his life. What did he know about horses? Nothing....but recognising that riding horses was her passion Ari decided that he too wanted to be part of what she loved so that they could do things together. This is when he met Roman, an 8 year old ex-racehorse thoroughbred who was just as messed up with horsie PTSD symptoms as he was. Allowing Ari to mount him for a ride they formed a bond that allowed them both to work on their mental-health recovery together, it was then Ari also decided that it was his renewed purpose to provide Roman with the best horsie life."When you love someone you make dreams together" a change of vocation and environment was also on the cards for Ari and his family to pursue their dreams and after a series of knockbacks due to the economic climate (& banking royal commission) they decided to relocate their life and build the dream in the cooler climate of Kelso, (Northern) Tasmania.Ari knows who he is and unapolagetically calls "A spade a spade", having recognised he's not a run of the mill civvy NOR any longer a Special Forces Commando he's found peace in hanging out with who is in "alignment" with his personality, military background. He's candidly open about how he and those who were in positions of leadership would mask their emotions and their true mental health state so they could just get on with the task at hand and "Bang it it"Rounding off the episode and season Ari then goes to share some key messages and take homes for our audience:In the military you we're part of a team, in civvy life there are many ex-services or interest groups....find what works for you and go with it.Its okay to ask for help, check your EGO at the door and just askAdmitting that "I cannot cope" at the moment is okay...you're humanA small talisman (object) that you can use to carry around and be a grounding item when your feeling anxious, angry etcNo one knows until you do it...and when your doing it yourself you'll realise what works for you and what doesnt.WARNING - This episode contains explicit language!!!Contact - Ari "Boss" Koutsoubos Mobile - 0401 717 622Website: Zero Hoof PrintMessenger: @zerohoofprintPrograms - Respite | Retreats & Stays - Kelso TASMANIAWho is it for?

In this extended episode we chat with Ari "Boss" Koutsoubos, ex-Special Forces Commando, crypto currency entrepreneur and founder of Zero Hoof Print, an oceanside horse camping ranch / eco holiday destination & veteran respite center.In this no-holds barred episode Ari shares his story of triumphs, challenges, highs, lows being vulnerable and key take away messages for our audience, all the while giving us a glimpse into the world of a Special Forces soldier.With his dad serving as a national serviceman and grandad in the Greek civil war, Ari's has family tradition of military service. At 20, Ari sought to please his mums wishes of higher education by going to university...a few courses and HECS accruals later Ari's sense of adventure was piqued when a mate told him about an Army organisation called 1 Commando (Reserves). Rocking up to parade on the first day Ari asked the question of how to get to the rollcall area with a response of "if you cant find it then you don't belong here." Each week his initiation and training consisted of many "beastings" designed to turn a civilian into a reservist Special Forces solider. Ari sets the tone for the stories and key messages by describing his experiences during the Commando selection course and share's with us the importance of toughness, resilience, leadership, trainability and the feeling of accomplishment when he finally earned his sherwood green beret.Ari goes on to share a glimpse of his deployments to Afghanistan with the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) and the importance of leadership, teamwork and support which lead to some key messages for our audience in their post military life.He also shares some key messages for current serving members about detaching emotionally from Family when on deployment, that it's okay if you cant re-attach straightaway upon return and the trials and tribulations transitioning to civilian life and finding purpose. Stay tuned for part 2 of Ari's story where he candidly shares his low points, being vulnerable and how by being true to himself, by doing what he loves and makes him happy he founded Zero Hoof Print and managed to create a self-care plan that allows this and outlines a strategy that our audience can utilise in their own self-care plan.

If they hear you, they hunt you. We watched the movie A Quiet Place in which a post-apocalyptic world of silence is overrun by creatures that hunt using sound. A bearded-John Krasinski and his family navigate this quiet world, surviving games of Monopoly, grain silos, and babies. Bioengineering Graduate Student Marta Iversen joins us to help us understand how we hear, how hearing aids and cochlear implants work, and how hearing compares to a cat.

Because our first season is all about the brain, it's no surprise that we would ultimately watch Lucy. This movie stems from the myth that living creatures use 10% of their brain, and unlocking the rest of the brain results in reality-altering abilities. Neuroscientist Danielle Giangrasso helps us understand how much of our brain we use, whether we can manipulate our "brain capacity," and whether or not Morgan Freeman actually knows how to apply the scientific method.

Is the old model of "hiring a full-time admin person"--or even hiring a GM for your gym--obsolete?If you've hired a GM before, you've probably broken out their task list in advance; then calculated the time necessary to do the work; then evaluated their ability to execute. Right?(If you haven't done this for all of your staff, including coaches, you need the Incubator.)And you've probably read The Four-Hour Workweek, where author Tim Ferriss uses Virtual Assistants (VAs) to help him reduce his workload and automate replicable tasks. When I read it, the idea of using VAs to help in the service industry seemed like a pipe dream. After all, we're not fulfilling orders: we're greeting people at the door, calling them on Fridays, and writing them love notes.The VA business has changed a LOT since Ferriss' book. Virtual Assistants are everywhere, but the spectrum of help is broad--from highly-qualified freelancers to low-paid ESL speakers.Ari Meisel's company, GetLeverage.com, sits between highly-qualified VAs and your business. GetLeverage.com believes in two steps BEFORE hiring a VA:Optimizing your processesAutomating your processesTHEN hiring a VA, where possible. In this Interview: How Ari battled Crohn’s disease and came out on the other side Optimizing the 80/20 rule to get the best results possible An example of how Get Leverage can take on a process and outsource it Plus: Prioritizing which ideas you want to take on in your business and personal life What is most important when consider which tasks to outsource The top ways that a virtual assistant can help a CrossFit Gym About Ari: Ari started his career back in 2006 in the real estate industry. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease: A highly debilitating digestive ailment, Ari was unable to lead a normal life. He lost weight, energy and the ability to work with any regularity. Through large amounts of trial and error, Ari was able to regain control of his life and beat this seemingly unbeatable disease and is now symptom free. Ari now runs a virtual assistant company called Get Leverage. Less doing and more living are the results of Ari’s amazing journey back to health happiness and wellbeing. Ari currently lives in New York City, where he spends every ounce of free time with his wife and four kids. Ari has written several books, including Idea to Execution and Less Doing, More Living.Timeline: 0:58 – Ari Meisel Introduction4:55 – What is an example of the type of work Get Leverage will do?6:05 – Optimizing the 80/20 rule to get the best results7:59 – Optimizing your time by creating processes9:45 – An example of a weekly process and how it is handled at Ari’s company11:19 - Optimizing processes outside of work within your personal life14:01 – The manual of being you.
