It subsequently become Australia's highest-grossing documentary of all time. His other epic "2040," was an inspiring journey into the realms of possibility to solve our ecological crisis. Damon's was nominated for NSW Australian of the Year for his outstanding contributions to 'the Regeneration' movement, which seeks practical innovations to heal our planet, one step at a time.

Living with a disability is hard work. Kurt Fearnley's perception of his disability changed the day his school principal put every kid in the school in a wheelchair, and suddenly they were all on the same playing field. From there, he went on to become a world class athlete, Paralympic gold medalist, NSW Australian of the year and more, and he shares with Turia Pitt some of the many lessons he's learned on the way.

Today I am star struck and inspired to Switch the Sitch with NSW Australian of the year Dr Munjed Al Muderis.  Dr Munjed and I discuss the fear he felt when the hospital he worked in as a surgeon in Iraq was stormed by soldiers of Saddam Hussein, demanding he and his team cut off the ears of civilian's. We discuss how fleeing Iraq for the unknown and landing in Australia as a refugee shaped his career and gave him the courage to become a pioneer of osteointegration, inserting a titanium implant into bone. This technique enables amputees to recover with greater mobility and recover a certain level of feeling in the limb. I am humbled to take our listeners on Dr Munjed's journey from landing in Australia as a refugee, to being a NSW Australian of the year award recipient for his amazing work with others. This is an amazing journey and one definitely worth tuning in for! Join our Facebook Group to chat to DR Munjed or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch,  starting a small business or growing an Empire!

We talk Australia's positioning on the world stage and also the regen. ag definition debate.  To start a dialogue and converse more about topics raised in this podcast, please visit The Regenerative Journey Podcast Facebook Group.  Episode Takeaways:  The power of collaborating and working together. Farmers are always going to be stronger when they pull resources and work together | RCS and Terry McCosker have done more for farming and grazing in this country than anyone else that I know | Regenerative Ag. is a whole way of thinking, it’s holistic thinking, it's questioning and it's a different journey for everybody who takes it. It’s not a prescriptive journey | Nobody owns the term regenerative, regenerate or regen. It’s not something you can own | There is no point giving money to farmers for a hay shed, if there’s no hay to put in the shed! | We’ve had drought, horrendously hot fires, now floods… and now we’re just waiting for the locust plague! |Our soils are the oldest soils in the world...we shouldn't farm the way Europe farms. We need to farm the Australian way | The world is watching us. The world watched Australia burn | As a consumer, don't sit there and say that I will become a vegan / vegetarian because livestock production is bad...that is coming from a point of ignorance because not all livestock production is bad | Farmers are the ultimate in action research!

I am honoured to be sharing todays episode with Paralympic Gold Medallist Kurt Fearnley. Kurt represented Australia for 18 years in wheelchair racing, he has competed in more then 50 marathons worldwide, and brought home multiple gold medals including both the Paralympics and Commonwealth Games. Kurt spent two weeks in 2009 crawling Papua New Guinea's Kokoda Track raising awareness & funding for mens health charities Movember & Beyond Blue. Kurt is a passionate disability advocate and devotes himself to a number of national and Hunter-based charitable initiatives. In 2019 Kurt was named NSW Australian of the year. In todays episode Kurt shares his incredible experiences through his life and sporting career. He shares the resources he has lent on throughout his athletic career to push through difficult moments that have delivered outstanding performances. Kurt shares his thoughts on mental health in the sporting community and how he sustains balance in his career life and home life. We also discuss life in retirement after bringing home one last gold.

Sydney Professor Munjed Al Muderis arrived in Australia as an asylum seeker after fleeing the tyranny of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship in Iraq. He has now been named NSW Australian of the Year for 2020. - قبل 20 عاماً، استقبلته أستراليا في معتقل! أمّا اليوم، فهي تسعى لتقرَّ له بعرفان الجميل.

Recognition for the work and life has never been something that has sat comfortably with me. But being named as one of the four recipients for the various categories of NSW Australian of the year has been an incredible honour. In particular, sharing the honour with 3 powerful people. Jarred Wheatley, Sophie Smith & Heather Lee OAM have an amazing message. This conversation covers the power of optimism, healthy lifestyle and the importance of relationships. 

Hosts Jane and Catherine speak to former Sex Discrimination Commissioner and 2016 NSW Australian of the Year, Elizabeth Broderick, about her current role advising the UN on how to raise the status of women and girls on a global scale and the importance of highlighting the human face of inequality. 

Raised in the small country town of Carcoar, Kurt Fearnley has always been determined. Being born without the lower portion of his spine he grew up in a community who never saw him different. In our conversation Kurt shares how it wasn’t until he was 12 years old that he fully realised that his pathway would be different. Kurt has achieved extraordinary feats from crewing a winning Sydney to Hobart yacht, crawling the Kokoda Track and winning dozens of marathons around the world, many of them representing Australia. His career has been in wheelchair racing, and Kurt shares the moment he realised that his chair represents choice and it could take him anywhere in the world. He started his career with two Silver medals at the 2000 Sydney Paralympic games, before making his winning breakthrough at the 2004 Athens Paralympics with 2 Gold medals. Kurt conquered the world, winning seven world championships and more than 30 marathons around the globe, including 10 marathons in 2007 and three straight New York marathon titles. In April 2018 Kurt finished his Australian representative as he started it, on home soil, with a win in the marathon at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. We talk about this race and what it took for him to combat doubts and reach out for help to mentally prepare for what would be his last race representing Australia. Since hanging up the green and gold, Kurt has been busy. You will hear his passion for advocating for people with disabilities and his drive to put this on the nation agenda in our country. He has also been recognised in multiple sphere’s, including being awarded 2019 NSW Australian of the Year (and if you haven’t watched his acceptance speech for this google it now - it’s powerful). This conversation was recording, sitting on a couch at a hotel a week before the announcement of 2019 Australian of the Year. Kurt is humble when I asked him about the potential of being awarded this honour and shifts quickly to what he sees as his responsibility to influence politicians, corporations, and education systems to give people with disabilities more choice then they are current afforded. Enjoy listening to the thoughtfulness, insights, and humour and this extraordinary Australian, Kurt Fearnley.
