What's it really like to ride the Tour de France? We get the lowdown from Guy Wolstencroft who was part of a team of amateur riders who completed every stage of the Tour a week ahead of the pros. The Tour 21, as it's known, covered every single km that the pro teams covered. But they also raised £1m for Cure Leukaemia charity in the process.   You'll hear: 08:40 Start of the interview with Guy Wolstencroft who had finished the Tour de France two days before we spoke. 09:40 Guy talks about Geoff Thomas, the former Crystal Palace footballer, who organises the fundraising event. He explains how the Tour 21 came about, with each participant having to raise £30,000. 13:00 How Guy managed to juggle his training alongside work and family commitments. "I was cycling about 15 hours a week and I worked with a coach and I told him you have to get me to the start line in good nick. My last drink was on NYW, my next one was six months later on the Champs Elysee." 16:14 Why the Tour 21 completed each stage a week before the pros. "We literally did every km the pros did" and how the riders were looked after by organisers and the support team. 21:50 What they ate to fuel the whole ride and why Guy was gutted to be the only one who didn't lose weight! "some days we were on the bike for ten hours" "I was more concerned about the water. I actually drank 17l of water on the Ventoux day." 25:40 Guy talks about the double Mont Ventoux day and what it was like going up twice. "it was 40 degrees that day and you're just constantly sweating" 35:31 The make up of the Tour 21 team and what his teammates were like. 39:00 If his perspective of pro riders has changed after cycling every km of the Tour de France. 44:50 About being part of a team to raise £1million for Cure Leukaemia "it's incredible, it's just an amazing thing to do.

Guy Winch is a psychologist, author, and co-host of the Dear Therapist podcast. In this episode, Guy speaks to the commonality of the human condition with relatable stories from his decades of therapy sessions as well as his own experience with incessant rumination in the early days of his private practice. He shares insights on what he sees as an epidemic of rumination that leads to career burnout, the consequences of social comparison heightened by social media, and the psychological impact of not recognizing success. He emphasizes the need for a “psychological medicine cabinet” and provides concrete and practical tools for treating emotional injuries. He concludes with a discussion about the widespread impact of the coronavirus pandemic on emotional health and how we can use experienced psychologists in a time when it’s especially needed. We discuss: The unique format and impetus for Guy’s podcast with Lori Gottlieb (3:00); How Guy pieced together the many different schools of thought in psychology to develop his own unique approach (7:45); The most important component of successful therapy, and why it sometimes makes sense to “break the rules” (19:30); Insights extracted from Guy’s own battle with extreme stress and anxiety around finishing his education and starting his private practice (28:15); The epidemic of rumination, burnout, and the inability to psychologically leave work (34:15); Antidotes to incessant rumination, and tips for transitioning from work to home to avoid burnout (41:15); The psychology of complaining: The hidden cost of complaining incorrectly and benefits of learning how and when to complain (52:30); The consequences of social comparison, and the impact of “failure” on emotional health (1:02:15); How Guy helps people who struggle to acknowledge any level of success (1:07:30); Emotional first aid: The importance of a psychological medicine cabinet for treating emotional injuries (1:19:00); The role of therapists in normalizing the discussion of emotional injuries and illuminating the commonality of feelings (1:27:45); The widespread impact of the coronavirus pandemic on emotional health (1:35:15); How to properly use affirmations—a tool for treating psychological injuries (1:42:00); The importance of nuanced language and the stories we tell ourselves (1:47:30); Peter’s favorite episode of the Dear Therapist Podcast (1:53:15); and More.

Having a growth mindset. "To survive means to grow." How has Guy become one of the greatest interviewers in the world? "I've been shooting free throws for 25 years. I've gotten a lot of reps." To be great, you have to be bad at the beginning... And keep going. How to connect with others? "I interpret the non-verbal feedback." Purposeful Practice: It's a team effort -- "I've worked with my team for twenty years. There is a strong bond and connection. They are very honest with their feedback. Constructive criticism is essential. We need outsiders to assess us." Guy thanks his mom and dad in the acknowledgement section of his book: They came to America in the 1970's. "Being courageous requires resilience." Guy has covered four wars, but he still doesn't feel he's as courageous as his parents. "Without taking a risk there is no reward." When Guy is afraid to take a risk, he thinks of his parents. How his fellowship year at Harvard impacted him: They teach through case studies and stories. It helped him understand business and storytelling. Guy is inspired by Joseph Campbell's hero's journey... His 'Must-Have' qualities to get hired to work on his team: Kindness - "We filter for kindness" They have to "want to improve" How Guy prepares to interview someone for one of his shows: Contact them well ahead of the interview date Do a deep dive on them and people around them (read, watch videos, listen to podcasts) Do a background check "All of us are imperfect... That's what make someone relatable. We all have flaws. You need to hear the failures." "The interviewee must be generous with their emotions. "The idea that I can learn from someone excites me." "I love transmitting the story." The idea for How I Built This came to him in 2008 when he took a class at Harvard Business School during a sabbatical year as a Nieman journalism fellow after nearly eight years as a foreign correspondent. Guy demands that those who sit for an interview with him are completely open. “I ask them, ‘Are you willing to come to this interview and surrender?’” Guy stared as an NPR intern and didn't get the initial jobs he wanted... I asked... "How much of your success can be attributed to luck and how much skill/hard work?" Life advice: Get a job in sales -- All jobs have a selling component. Learn this crucial skill. Be methodical about your experiences. Keep your eyes open for problems all around you... Look for problems to solve. All businesses are built on solving a problem.

30,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest in Australia each year. In the US, SCA claims an estimated 325,000. If someone has a heart incident in your workplace, at your gym, or in your home, do you know what to do? What if CPR isn’t working and first responders can’t get there in time? An SCA victim’s chances of survival increase exponentially when a defibrillator is available, and the devices are easy to use. Guy Leech is known as Australia’s #1 Fitness Guy. He won the world’s first professional Ironman race in 1984 and stayed at the top of the sport for the next decade, winning multiple titles including that of 1988 World Ironman Champion. Guy has trained a wide range of athletes, from surfing champion Layne Beachley to Olympic gold medalist Kerri Pottharst. In 2016, a personal tragedy led Guy to his current mission of making defibrillators widely available and training people to use them confidently when faced with SCA. Today, Guy joins us to share the story of the day he could not resuscitate his close friend with CPR alone. He walks us through the statistics around SCA, explaining why people have a much better chance of survival with a defibrillator. Guy discusses the current lack of regulations around defibrillators in public places and the prevalence of cardiovascular issues, even among athletes. Guy also describes the training regimen he followed in his competitive Ironman days, reflecting on whether or not he is healthier now. Listen in for Guy’s advice for athletes with regard to heart screening and learn how you can support his mission to increase the SCA survival rate with defibrillators!

Horseman, performer and poet Guy McLean is originally from Melbourne, Australia, but moved to Queensland to what became his parents’ Susan River Homestead Holiday Ranch. There, this shy young boy grew up, devoted to horses and developing his horsemanship skills and deep love for the Bush country. Named official Ambassador of the Outback, Guy has wowed audiences with his performances of horsemanship, Bush poetry and whip cracking since 1999. In 2005, Guy was the inaugural winner of Equitana’s “Way of the Horse” young horse-starting competition and he credits his victory with the methods he learned in the Queensland Bush.  Guy and his talented horses – many of whom prior owners had given up on – have performed for over a million people and achieved worldwide acclaim. He is referred to by his fans and Australian dignitaries as a “national treasure” and “living legend.” Although this humble Australian still blushes at such remarks, it is these kind words and his remarkable relationship with his horses that inspire him to succeed and continue to spread his message. Now an international sensation, Guy makes his base in the United States… although his beloved homeland of Australia is where his heart resides.   Guy believes that the best tools in horsemanship are knowledge, compassion, patience, and imagination. And in today’s episode, this really shows through. He shares his kind words and stories of inspiration, his beliefs about horses and their partnership with humans, the difference between a rider and a horseman, and so much more.   Topics of Discussion: [:18] About Elise’s guest today, Guy McLean. [1:11] About Guy’s family and life growing up in the Bush. [3:30] How Guy’s father’s words when he was younger have guided his life — especially with horses. [6:44] Guy reflects on how far he has come since the shy, little boy he once was, as well as the difference between being a rider and a horseman. [10:55] What Guy thinks horses want from us. [14:33] Guy McLean recites his remarkable poem, “This is War,” and explains the story behind it. [19:11] What Guy wishes people knew about “difficult” horses. [26:54] How Guy takes knowing horses to the next level. [31:06] Guy describes the Australian Stock Horse breed and personality. [35:21] Guy elaborates on some of the unique elements of an Aussie stockman, and how and why he shares them in his performances. [43:55] Guy and Elise discuss Guy’s move to Texas (AKA the Australia of the States!) [47:25] Guy talks about the fulfilling path he has taken with horses. [50:39] About next week’s episode of Because of Horses. [51:37] Why it is so important to Guy to be charitable and kind-hearted. [56:40] Guy tells the story of when he first met Stacy Westfall.
