What if we trained our minds with the same dedication we bring to our bodies? In this episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke sits down with Jack Preddey, founder of Optimize Mind Performance, to explore why mental skills training has become as crucial as physical preparation for peak performance. Jack opens up about building a business that transforms how athletes and leaders approach resilience, focus, and mental health conversations. From his unique vantage point at the intersection of sport and business, he reveals how daily routines shape our mental fitness and why facing setbacks requires genuine courage. The conversation weaves through practical insights on leadership styles, the trainable nature of mental skills, and Jack's curiosity-driven approach to performance optimization. He paints a compelling picture of a future where mental fitness isn't an afterthought—it's woven into the fabric of how we work, compete, and lead. Luke connects these themes to previous conversations with cricket legend Mike Hussey and NRL coach Craig Fitzgibbon, two leaders who embody the principles of resilience and authentic leadership that Jack is championing in this new frontier.

What happens when a life devoted to shaping national conversations is suddenly interrupted by a diagnosis that changes everything? Jamila Rizvi has spent her career steering the agenda on gender equality, parenting, politics, and power. A bestselling author, speaker, and advocate, she started out as a political staffer in the Rudd and Gillard governments, where she witnessed firsthand the challenges Julia Gillard faced as Australia’s first female Prime Minister. At just 31, Jamila’s own life shifted dramatically when she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour. In this conversation with Luke, she shares the realities of living with a “broken brain,” the parallels with her friend Rosie Waterland’s mental health journey, and their collaboration on their new book - Broken Brains. Jamila & Luke also reflect on why economic security for women must be part of her legacy, how clarity and predictability make her a stronger leader, and why community is essential for survival and success.

What does it take to make life-or-death decisions when the world is watching? According to today’s guest - it’s every single thing that you have achieved, all the choices you have made and all the moments you have learned from in the years leading up to that moment. In this episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke speaks with Dr Craig Challen - veterinarian, adventurer, and one of the cave divers who helped rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand. Craig shares what it was like to face impossible choices under water, how the boys decided their own order of exit, and why calmness - not fear - must lead in moments of crisis. They explore leadership lessons forged deep underground, from the value of authenticity and trust to the role of curiosity in staying sharp. Craig also reflects on the impact of sudden fame, the mentors who shaped him, and the quiet power of collaboration when the stakes couldn’t be higher.

We start in the anecdote Wild West. Specifically it was wild [north] west London for Elis as he's been to Oasis in credibility damaging seats. The best seats in the house, surrounded by some of the most famous people in the country. He *could* have asked for General Admission. But he didn't and that suggestion is shoved up the tunnel of anguish.City backline Akanji, Dias and Gvardiol were all with him and all saw him in tears. Incidentally Gvardiol was papped on commando retreat this summer smeared in war paint. Something you wouldn't catch Elis doing as he nibbles on his prawn sandwiches.But there are others swinging into the anecdote town, including the most handsome cowboy around, Luke McQueen. We also receive reflections on Elis's inability to remember Pythagoras' theorem and open up his big ideas box which contains the phrase “health podcast”. *AND* there's a potential ill-thought out feature in the offing. It's hit after hit.elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp if you also want to reflect on your many corporate box experiences.

What if our neighbourhoods are just as important to our health as our diet or exercise? Urban futurist and tech entrepreneur Lucinda Hartley has spent her career reimagining the cities we live in and in this episode of Empowering Leaders, she joins Luke Darcy to explore what it takes to build places that truly support human wellbeing. Lucinda has advised the United Nations, co-founded two tech startups, and worked across five continents. But her focus is deeply local: walkable streets, access to green space, connected communities, and housing that doesn’t leave people behind. She shares how better urban design can help us live longer, feel more connected, and thrive. This conversation explores the housing crisis in Australia, the emotional toll of leadership, and the role of technology and lived experience in shaping our environments. Lucinda also reflects on purpose, curiosity, and the power of working across sectors to create cities and systems that care.

What does it take to lead at the highest level, consistently - across teams, cultures and continents? Michael Cheika has coached national rugby sides in Australia, Argentina and Lebanon, but his leadership journey began much earlier - shaped by the resilience, humility and drive of his immigrant upbringing in Western Sydney. In this episode of Empowering Leaders, Michael joins Luke Darcy for a candid and powerful conversation on emotional intelligence, public pressure, and the challenge of building alignment in high-performance teams. He reflects on how he’s learned to balance vulnerability with toughness, what business can borrow from sport, and why defeat often teaches more than success.

I’m sitting at a table with two people: Patrick and Conway. In front of me, there’s a knife. I could use the knife to cut the food on my plate. Or I could lunge across the table and stab Conway with it. If I did that, what would you say Patrick is supposed to do? He could do nothing. He could call 911 – to get an ambulance for Conway and a cop to arrest me. Or he could intervene – try and subdue me before I hurt Conway or other people. That is, in fact, more or less what Patrick Young actually does. Every day. For 3 years Patrick was the Director of Gun Violence Prevention for the City of New Orleans. In 2024 he founded 4 Social Peace. It’s the first organization in the country dedicated solely to digital community violence intervention. 4 Social Peace focuses on the links between threats and aggression on social media, real world crime, and the struggles of people trying to re-integrate after being released from incarceration. It's rooted in Patrick’s lived experience. Well, the good news is, I didn’t stab Conway Solomon, so I can tell you - he’s Co-Founder and CEO of a company called Wrstbnd. We first met Conway in 2020 when we were doing Out to Lunch on Zoom because of the pandemic and Conway had plenty of time on his hands because nobody was going to a live event where they’d be needing a hi-tech electronic wristband to get in the door. That was then. Today Wrstbnd is a real-world applied technology success story. It’s – as the name suggests - a wristband - that’s also an integrated event organization gadget and platform - kind of like a live event version of the Apple Watch or the Oura Ring. A person attending an event gets an electronic wristband that, first of all, allows people to flow into a big event in almost real time without stopping to have a ticket checked. The Wrstbnd knows whether people are VIPs or have special needs and tracks their whereabouts. It can be used for super-fast transactions – think, speeding up the lines for drinks, food or merch. Wrstbnd partners with international event promotion company AEG, one of the producers of New Orleans Jazz Fest. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

We really, really liked Coal Chamber's self-titled debut. We really, really do not like this. One of nu-metal's most famous cases of a sophomore slump, the band runs away from the silliness and giant riffs that made them popular on their first record in favor of something more serious, more professional, and less nu-metal. It turns out they are not very good at that. Bryan takes us back to hearing this album for the first time in 1999 and hating it instantly, giving us insight into being a Coal Chamber fan in the moment and not just now, in 2025. Unfortunately, it also sucks now, and the articles don't help the band either, as it's a wild collection of quotes about not wanting to be compared to Korn, writing "happy" music, and showcasing a band that was clearly at odds with each other over their sound. We are happy to announce the first-ever P.O.D. Kontest! We are giving away two sets of 2 General Admission passes for all 4 days of the Sonic Temple Music Festival! Head on over to patreon.com/thepodkast for all the details. While you're there, you can check out all of our bonus content, including last month, where we welcomed the CEO of Nu-Metal himself, HolidayKirk, to break down Serj Tankian's also-misguided attempt at seriousness, "Elect the Dead Symphony". You'll get immediate access to our entire back catalogue of over 150 bonus episodes, access to our Discord, and MORE! Join today!

Sandy Martin - Mold Toxicity - Biohacker Expo   EVENT COMING UP:  Feb 28-Mar 1st Miami FL - 2025 (Sign Up!) Live Online with General Admission  www.Biohackerexpo.com Social Media: @biohackerexpo In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams interviews Sandy Martin, a biohacking advocate and representative for the upcoming Biohacker Expo in Miami. Sandy shares her personal health journey, which began with mysterious symptoms in 2020, including brain fog, fatigue, and feelings resembling depression. Initially misdiagnosed with conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), her persistence led her to functional medicine, where she discovered that mold exposure in her home was the root cause of her issues. Sandy recounts how she navigated misdiagnoses, explored biohacking tools like light therapy helmets and hyperbaric chambers, and experimented with diets such as paleo, keto, and intermittent fasting. Despite her efforts, her condition only improved after identifying and addressing the mold toxicity through detoxification. She emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, seeking second opinions, and trusting intuition when navigating health challenges. The conversation highlights the challenges of modern living, including environmental toxins from household cleaners, plastics, and mold contamination in everyday products like coffee, tea, and grains. Sandy discusses practical solutions, such as HEPA filters, mold-free certifications, and avoiding microplastics, to reduce the body's toxic burden. Listeners will also learn about the Biohacker Expo, which showcases cutting-edge trends and tools to optimize health. The episode underscores the importance of education, proactive health management, and biohacking techniques for those over 40 seeking to improve their well-being.

You probably know the name Hayley Paige, but did you know there was a time recently where she couldn't use it professionally (or even design wedding dresses anymore)? Due to a contract and non-compete that she signed when she started her career, she lost everything (temporarily, thanks to a legal battle). Now, with the right to officially use her legal name, Hayley is using her voice to fight non-competes and protect creators through her non-profit.
