You know what you should be doing. More sleep. Better recovery. Less time running on empty. You have known it for years. So has every burned-out doctor, executive, and elite athlete Andrew May has ever worked with. The problem is not knowledge. It is the gap between knowing and doing. And most people are misdiagnosing the reason for that gap entirely.Andrew May is a Mental Skills and Leadership Coach who has worked with ASX executives, elite sporting teams (Wallabies), and the Australian Defence Force. Andrew gets honest about his own near-burnout at 40, what it took to turn it around, and why even the most informed, high-functioning people are still getting recovery wrong.From there, it gets practical. What strategic recovery actually looks like inside a high-demand schedule. Why most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. The exercise prescription that builds real performance capacity without flogging yourself. And how to finally close the gap between what you know and what you do.This one is for doctors. It is also for anyone who has been running hard for too long and suspects the wheels are starting to wobble.00:00 Burnout rates in medicine are above 80%, yet doctors know more about the body than almost anyone. Why the gap?05:14 Andrew's own near-burnout at 40: marriage breakdown, external validation, and the mate from Dubbo who cracked it open.10:44 Most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. Andrew explains the difference.13:04 What strategic recovery looks like in practice, including how Andrew applies it with the Australian Defence Force.20:25 Why physical activity is not recovery, and the exercise prescription that actually builds performance capacity.26:02 Sleep deprivation degrades judgment, memory and decision-making. Andrew challenges the eight-hour myth.28:47 A simple plate-based nutrition framework, intermittent fasting for men over 40, and why women need a different approach.34:14 How to close the gap between knowing and doing: self-reflection, barrier mapping, and building real accountability.40:10 Key messages, close, and why how you show up changes how everyone around you performs.This episode was originally published on the Healthed podcast with Dr David Lim.

Brett Robb made the call to go solo as a trainer when his father Rodney decided to cut his team  back to five horses in 2020. He'd been working as stable foreman for Rodney for a number of years, and was happy to continue in that role. Rod's decision prompted Brett to bite the bullet, and launch his own training career. From a Dubbo base Brett has 273 wins on the board including a Country Championship Final. He currently has 48 horses in work and is prepared to travel to find the right races for them. Brett can ‘t see himself doing anything else. He joins us on the podcast and talks firstly about his well known nickname. He talks about a winning double at the first day of the Wellington carnival last Friday and pleasing runs from his two fillies in the Wellington Boot. Brett looks at the performances by two stable runners in the recent Country Championship Final. “Snow” pays tribute to his dad Rodney Robb, a legend in Western Districts racing for half a century. He acknowledges the talents of stable jockey Clayton Gallagher and stable apprentices Izzy Neale and Jordan Quince. Brett recalls his childhood days in local pony club and other equine pursuits. He says none of it would have been possible without the dedication of his mother Wendy. The trainer looks back on his unforgettable two years as a ringer on Queensland's famous Durham Downs cattle station. He shares several stories of those heady days in the outback, and gives a shout out to a great bush character of the era. Brett looks back on a long stint with NSW Railways based at Nyngan. He talks of On A Promise, the horse he regards as the one to launch his career. Brett speaks fondly of another prolific winner Dalavin. He looks back on a TAB Highway win with Boom Boom Basil. A Magic Zariz is perhaps Brett's all time favourite. He still has the old warrior on his Dubbo property. Brett hasn't forgotten the day Sizzle Minizzle walked into his stables. He looks back on the gelding's racing career and the thrill of a win in the Country Championship Final. The trainer reflects on his association with legendary country jockey Greg Ryan. Brett says Sizzle Minizzle's foot issues saw his form taper off towards the end of his career. He remembers a TAB Highway win with Wilbury. Brett pays an appropriate tribute to Gallant Star, the horse he regards as the best he's trained to date. He takes us through the gelding's racing career. This is a laid back chat with a bush horseman who has spent very few days of his 37 years without a horse close by.

A farmer from Dubbo has told Mark Levy families will see the impacts of the ongoing fuel crisis when they open their fridges and pantries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sydney has lost over 41,000 residents in a year. As real estate prices in Sydney are soaring people are looking for an alternative. Enter Dubbo – one of Australia's fastest growing cities where housing is also more affordable. Dubbo has now become the number one hotspot for first time home buyers in in New South Wales.

Are fears of fuel shortages in Australia overblown—or are we underestimating the risks? Gene Tunny is joined by Dr John Humphreys and farmer Peter Rothwell to explore how rising diesel prices, fertiliser shortages, and supply chain stress could ripple through the economy. From supermarket prices to farm viability, this episode breaks down how a global energy shock could hit households and businesses—and whether markets can cope. Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com.  About the Guests Dr John Humphreys is Chief Economist at the Australian Taxpayers' Alliance and an experienced economist with a background spanning academia, government, consulting and think tanks, including roles at the Australian Treasury, the Centre for International Economics and the Centre for Independent Studies. He holds a PhD in economics from the University of Queensland, where he has lectured in advanced microeconomics, and has also taught in Cambodia, where he founded an education charity and research institute. John is the founder of the Australian Libertarian Society and the Liberal Democrats (Libertarian Party), and has published widely on tax, welfare, public finance and international trade. He was awarded a knighthood in the Cambodian Royal Order of Moniseraphon for his contributions to education. Peter Rothwell is a farmer and former Liberal Democrats candidate based in regional New South Wales. He has contested the federal seat of Parkes, covering much of western NSW including Dubbo and surrounding areas. Peter describes himself as having grown up on the land and as an “old school Liberal,” entering politics out of concern about national economic challenges including high government debt, inflation and rising interest rates. Takeaways Markets help—but aren't perfect: Prices usually allocate scarce fuel efficiently, but panic buying and logistics can still create short-term shortages. Diesel is critical infrastructure: It powers transport, farming, mining, and supply chains—making it far more economically important than petrol. Energy shocks are stagflationary: Higher fuel prices raise costs and reduce economic activity at the same time. Agriculture is highly exposed: Fertiliser shortages and higher diesel costs could reduce yields and farm profitability. Policy trade-offs are tough: Governments face difficult choices on fuel taxes, spending, and how to respond to a supply-side shock.

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Dubbo after a massive weekend on the road with Jules, reflecting on the day the Podvan became a hub for the coast's most inspiring side hustlers.First up: Dan, a man who has been a "silent partner" in the show for a year without me ever knowing his name. He's a garbo by morning and a marketplace hero by afternoon. Then, Mel drops by to explain why my energy levels might be more "giant ball of chaos" than "life force," and McKayla shares the beautiful (and goosebump-inducing) reason she's taking her scissors out of the salon and into the homes of families who need a completely different approach to a haircut.

Interview with Mark Chalmers, CEO, Energy FuelsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/energy-fuels-nyseuuuu-americas-critical-minerals-champion-2025s-best-uranium-stock-returns-8965Recording date: 29th January 2026Energy Fuels, a leading U.S. uranium and critical minerals producer, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) through a scheme of arrangement valued at under 6% of its share registry. The transaction represents a significant milestone in Energy Fuels' strategy to build vertical integration across the rare earth supply chain, adding metals and alloys production capabilities to complement its existing separation operations at the White Mesa mill in Utah.ASM brings immediate production capability through its South Korean facility, which currently produces approximately 1,300 tons per annum of neodymium-iron-boron alloy—a critical material for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and clean energy applications. The facility is already expanding to 3,600 tons per annum in Phase 2, with plans for Phase 3 expansion to 5,600 tons. Additionally, ASM had been developing plans for a U.S. facility with phased development up to 4,000 tons per annum, providing Energy Fuels with domestic production capabilities that align with government initiatives to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earth supply chains.The acquisition also includes the Dubbo project in New South Wales, Australia—a permitted rare earth development that adds another feed source to Energy Fuels' growing portfolio. The project is being re-evaluated using a heap leach processing approach that significantly reduces capital requirements by producing an intermediate concentrate for shipment to White Mesa mill rather than building full on-site separation facilities.CEO Mark Chalmers emphasized that vertical integration addresses a fundamental challenge in the rare earth industry: fragmentation. By controlling multiple steps from separation through alloys production, Energy Fuels expects to improve margins by up to 20% while positioning itself as a strategic partner for government programs and commercial customers seeking integrated solutions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of June 2026, following shareholder votes and court approvals under Australian law.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/energy-fuelsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Dan's story has been captivating listeners since 2020. As our most downloaded episode of all time, we thought it was worth a relisten. In retrospect it was the perfect vocational choice. But Dr Daniel Stewart just didn't know it as he rowed hard and fast for Australia, chopping and changing university courses before finally giving medicine a crack. Now based in Dubbo, with a four-minute commute to work, he couldn't be happier. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While New Zealand's been stuck under grey skies for a lot of this summer, things are heating up across the ditch. Temperatures are expected to reach the high 40s in the southern states of Victoria and South Australia. Some Australia Day events were cancelled yesterday out of safety concerns. Australian Correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge it's the worst heat wave in decades. She says Dubbo has seen 46.1 degrees and 48 in an area called Noona, with some temperatures 21 degrees above average. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're relaunching a few of our fave episodes for our fresh new crop of Interns – all the best for your next adventure! It was sage advice from an English teacher that saw Dr Grace Nelson achieve her aspirations. She was counselled to not only celebrate her good grades, but also work hard to shrink the margin between those good marks and a perfect score of 100 per cent next time. Since primary school Dr Nelson had dreamed of becoming a rural doctor, and, through university, she realised the profession — with its intellectual rigour, contact with people and mission to help and to cure — was a perfect fit for her personality. So, she immersed herself in regional training, and after gaining experience in several centres, landed in Dubbo, which she says “ticks all the boxes.” Now, not only is she gaining a wide variety of clinical experience, but she gets to work with a close and varied team in the relaxed regional environment that she has always loved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Great to chat with a man who co-founded Hyperion Thoroughbreds, one of the very earliest racehorse syndication companies in Australia. We find out what Allan's been doing since a crippling recession brought Hyperion's operation to a halt in 1990. Allan takes us back to his childhood in Gravesend near Warialda when radio was a way of life to country people. He fell in love with the theatre of racing, the day he listened to the broadcast of the 1956 Melbourne Cup. He talks of school days in Inverell and his first job at the Valuer General's Department in Sydney. A job transfer to Moree led him to a friendship with Terry Mulhall, destined to become his business partner in later years. Allan reflects on the creation of Hyperion Thoroughbreds and the concept of forming larger syndicates than those offered by predecessors. He recalls the creation of the famous black and pink silks which signalled the emerging popularity of syndication. He reflects on the tough guidelines introduced by the Corporate Affairs Commission in the 1970's. Allan looks back on the extensive methods of communication necessary to keep hundreds of owners informed about their horses. He acknowledges some of the better horses to keep the Hyperion banner flying, beginning with the cheap Dubbo sale graduate Prince Clarendon. Allan pays a special tribute to the evergreen Targlish, almost certainly the best horse to represent the company. The remarkable gelding raced 109 times for 17 wins and 31 placings. He reflects on the ground breaking idea of purchasing a horse to race in America for Australian owners. He pays tribute to So Vague who won 5 races in the USA before being brought to Australia. He later won stakes races in Melbourne for Colin Hayes. Allan acknowledges the devotion of some special trainers who gave great service to Hyperion Thoroughbreds. He pays a special tribute to the veteran jockey who rode many winners in the Hyperion colours and frequently helped out behind the scenes. Allan reflects on the inevitable winding down of the 16 year old company when the recession started to bite. Hyperion was one of hundreds of businesses to be brought to their knees. The last of the horses were placed according to the wishes of their owners, and a great era had come to an end. It was a tough day for old mates Gainey and Mulhall.

It's always a pleasure to talk to a dedicated bush trainer from any part of the nation. This week we go to the busy training hub at Dubbo and to one of its most respected participants. Dar (that's his official christian name) was one of a family of jockeys from the tiny village of Carinda in the Walgett Shire. He spent more than 35 years as a respected member of the western riding ranks before having to quit following a serious kick from a nervous young horse. Dar has been training for some 14 years from a Dubbo base and has  no intention of trying any other job. Right off the top he appeases the curiosity about his first name. Dar talks about his infrequent trips to town and says it takes a pretty handy horse to warrant a  crack at the city slickers.  He made a rare appearance at Randwick on Saturday where his two runners were out of a place, Saint  Philomena and Elson Boy who had a pretty tough run. Dar says he travelled the horses to Sydney the day before in heatwave conditions. He talks about a horse called Green Run who might earn a trip to the big smoke in the near future. The horse's regular rider is out of action following a freak mounting yard accident recently. Dar talks about his birthplace of Carinda which boasted a population of 200 during his childhood.  The Dubbo based trainer reflects on the riding activities of four brothers. Dar looks back on school days in Carinda and a move to Walgett as he reached a higher grade.This was when his association with thoroughbreds began under the tutelage of a veteran trainer. He makes the frank confession that he wasn't licensed at the time of his first few race rides. He looks back on his first legitimate race ride and his first winner  way out west at Bourke. Dar says he wasn't dedicated to looking after his weight early days, but mended his ways soon after. He talks of the shortage of race meetings in the west and the distances he had to travel to carve out a livelihood as a bush jockey. Dar says he rarely rode on metropolitan tracks, but recalls one exciting win at Eagle Farm in Brisbane. He says he could count his Sydney rides on one hand but reflects on a two year old race at Rosehill when he ran into a rising topliner. The 64 year old remembers his final winning ride on the spacious Warren track on a horse trained by brother Garry. Dar talks about the freakish accident that ended his riding career. The experienced horseman takes us through the Elson Boy story- the unraced horse identified on line by one of his most supportive owners. Dar admits he made a few mistakes before working the gelding out. He takes us through some exciting wins and one heartbreaking setback. Dar looks back on a horse he felt was going places before going amiss. He looks back on a great association with a western trainer who was destined to become his father-in-law. This was Dar's cue to acknowledge the unwavering support of Jill, his wife of 39 years. He and Jill are the proud parents of daughters Brianna and Layne. Brianna has in turn presented her parents with three grandchildren- all girls. Dar speaks candidly of the sudden stroke that stopped him in his tracks just over two years ago. He hated the inactivity of his recovery but opted to do everything the doctors ordered. Dar Lunn has earned the respect of all in NSW country racing. It's a pleasure to have him on the podcast.

Clint Lundholm stands 182 cm and weighs in at 80kgs, but continues to ride regular trackwork at Dubbo. It's hard to believe the same bloke was a professional jockey for close to three years in which time he posted 218 wins including a handful of country Cup successes. An eighteen month stint followed in the amateur ranks before he finally followed the family tradition of training racehorses. In just thirteen years in the role, Cint has posted 1012 wins and has a NSW country trainer's premiership on his CV. At one stage his team grew to almost fifty horses, creating an unmanageable workload. Today he rarely has more than twenty in work and is thoroughly enjoying the job.  Clint joins us on the podcast and begins by talking about his frenetic 2022/2023 season. He says the results were gratifying but the toll was high. He takes us right back to early days in Coonamble under the tutelage of his grandfather, legendary country trainer John Lundholm Snr. Clint reflects on the lessons learned from the elder Lundholm. He reflects on the stories he heard about his grandfather's association with champion country jockey Dennis Firth. The trainer looks back on his first day as a professional jockey when he had five rides at a Nyngan meeting. Clint hasn't forgotten the thrill of his first winning ride. He looks back on a three month loan out to Gai Waterhouse at Randwick. He recalls being gobsmacked by the enormity of the Tulloch Lodge operation. Unable to adapt to city life, Clint says he returned to the bush to finish his apprenticeship with a new boss. Lundholm understands why people are surprised to learn he was once a professional jockey. He pays tribute to the horse he regards as the best he rode in his short time in the saddle. Clint looks back on a very happy eighteen months in the amateur riding ranks. He remembers the commencement of his solo training career and his father's decision to join the team. Clint was chuffed to join the ranks of trainers who were able to win with their very first starter. He's not a regular in the city but is thrilled to have a couple of TAB Highway winners on the  board. Clint is adamant that Listen To the Band is the best horse he's trained to date. He talks of the talented but injury plagued Quasimoto who'll shortly return to work. Clint says he had a lot of fun with ten time winner Any Blinkin' Day. The trainer speaks of former metropolitan galloper Notabadidea who won a country Cups tre le after entering his stable. He acknowledges the support he's had from a select group of prominent western districts jockeys with a special shout out to his partner Zoe Hunt who's been in top form of late. This is a nice chat with a …year old who was destined to forge a career in the racing game.

Young trainer Cameron Crockett completely dominated the recent Dubbo Cup programme with three wins and one dead heat on the ten race programme- easily his best day since going solo as a trainer in 2011. To say he was born to be a trainer is probably a misnomer, because he showed little interest in horses until mid teens. Today he's adamant that training racehorses is all he wants to do. Cameron begins our podcast by reviewing his red letter day at Dubbo. Ashley Morgan was the jockey to ride all of Cameron's winners on the day. He pays tribute to the Welsh born horseman. The trainer is understandably chuffed with his current strike rate. He talks of his relocation from Mudgee to Scone in 2019. Cameron speaks glowingly of his current location at the former Clovelly Vet Centre in the heart of Scone. He looks back on early days when he learned the art of breaking-in from his father Max, a noted yearling educator.  Cameron looks back on his dad's role as full time breaker at the famous Gooree Stud. Max's assistant was another legendary horseman in Harry Meyer. Young Crockett looks back on a broken femur sustained when a yearling reared over and landed on top of him. By the time he was ready to return to work he'd lost the passion for the horse breaking business, and immediately changed direction. He acknowledges the horse to set him on the road as a trainer. Are You Sure was a quirky gelding who was shunned by other horsemen at the time. Cameron saw something in the horse and won 9 races with him. The trainer runs through a number of the horses who shaped his early training career with special mention of Ori On Fire.  Cameron recalls a rare word of praise from his father following a flurry of winners on western tracks. He's never forgotten the moment. He looks back on his continued success in the TAB Highway series. Predictably Cam spends extra time in acknowledging the deeds of Commando Hunt, the horse he says is the best to come through his hands so far. The successful Scone trainer talks of his own particular slant on  the training business. Cameron talks of the five special kids shared by he and wife Elizabeth. His mother Cheryl also gets an honourable mention.  The trainer pays tribute to several jockeys who've contributed to his success in the training ranks. He makes special mention of Brooke Stower who's currently absent from the riding ranks and working on a Queensland cattle station. 

“I'll just wake up one day and say to myself that'll do me,” was the reply given by Greg Ryan when quizzed about a likely retirement date on a podcast posted on October 27th 2020.  He was then 54 years old and still riding in races. The winners were flowing and so were the opportunities from a wide range of prominent stables. That fateful day was to arrive just six weeks later. Greg was booked for six rides at a Mudgee meeting on Friday December 4th, including three for Sydney trainer Bjorn Baker. As he drove away from his Dubbo home for the 126km trip to Mudgee, not even wife Pauline knew this was to be her husband's final day as a professional jockey. The punter's favourite had to settle for a fourth and a third on his first two mounts, but was quietly chuffed when he came from well back to win a 1200m maiden on Without Shame for longtime supporter Sue Grills. His final three rides all finished out of a place, and still he hadn't breathed a word to anybody about his impending retirement. The fact that he hadn't taken a ride beyond the Mudgee meeting should have aroused suspicion. Perhaps people thought he'd been suspended or was simply taking a short break.  Inevitably it wasn't long before participants and punters alike were all asking the same question- where the hell is Greg Ryan?” Greg Ryan had retired, that's where the hell he was!- no bells and whistles, no fuss, no elaborate farewells. Despite self confessed withdrawal symptoms, the jockey with the second largest win tally in Australian racing history has stayed retired. He's about 12 kilograms heavier than he was in riding days, but quietly chuffed that he still doesn't carry an ounce of fat on that wiry frame- the direct result of an ongoing work schedule, and regular activity.  Greg had begun assisting son Isaac in his growing Dubbo tree services business, even before calling time on his riding career. He continues to work full time with Isaac and valued staff member Andrew Cook, although he's currently threatening to scale back, as his 60th birthday approaches. I've had several emails in the last six months about Greg Ryan's current whereabouts and lifestyle. I recall the earthy way in which he shared his story in that 2020 podcast, and I'd love to give it another run. If you missed it last time I know you'll enjoy the reminiscences of a former automotive mechanic who rode 4,035 winners and 5,825 place getters in a career that was very late getting started. During the podcast Greg makes loving reference to grandmother Betsy who was still going strong at age 94.The remarkable veteran, a classic example of the stoic and hard working women of her generation, had turned 98 shortly before her recent passing.

What if the root of stubborn chronic illness isn't just poor lifestyle choices, but an invisible toxic burden quietly overwhelming the body?In this compelling episode, naturopath and mentor Liza Twohill shares insights from her 25+ years of clinical experience helping patients in regional Australia navigate the hidden impact of agricultural chemicals, mining exposures, heavy metals, and everyday pollutants. From her grassroots beginnings in Dubbo to her current role as NHAA Board Director and Adjunct Professional Fellow at Southern Cross University, Liza has honed a practical, step-by-step framework for guiding patients safely through detoxification.You'll learn why trace minerals like zinc, iodine, and molybdenum are foundational to detox, how polyphenols and antioxidants can dial down chronic inflammation and support mitochondria, and why jumping straight into “heroic” detox protocols often backfires. Instead, Liza maps out her six-stage process - assessing exposures, reducing body burden, calming the nervous system, addressing inflammation, optimising drainage, and finally implementing targeted detox strategies.Whether you're a clinician seeking clarity on environmental medicine or someone struggling with complex health issues, this episode offers a refreshing perspective: detox isn't about quick fixes, but about restoring the body's natural resilience with patience, precision, and respect for individual biochemistry.Connect with Liza: www.lizatwohill.comShownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

What happens when you commit to writing one song a week for 100 weeks? For songwriter and producer Joel Riley, it led to his debut album The Fruits of Labour. In this episode, Joel takes us inside his imaginative practice. He shares how consistency built his confidence, how feedback helped him hear his songs differently and how living in Dubbo inspired him to embrace creative limitations as opportunities. Joel's journey is a reminder that songwriting doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs you to show up.About Joel: Joel Riley is an artist, songwriter and producer making music in Dubbo, Australia. He writes songs  about things he cares about, things he worries about, and the occasional dinosaur. He loves to take adventures into genres he loves, like electronic music (with The Synthesizer Wizards of Dubbo), ambient jazz (with The DM) and indie rock (with Tomorrow Forever). His first album The Fruits of Labour was released in early 2025 to great acclaim in the family group chat. He is always keeping his eyes open for the next musical adventure!Song Credit: “Bets Against Myself" - Written by Joel Riley.
