Cam Walker isn't here to tell about 'one weird trick that will 10x your life.' He's not even trying to inspire you. But he does know firsthand what it's like to be lost in the depth of feelings of doom, and exactly what helped him slowly reach a place a bit more colourful. That's the basis for his new book 'Doom and Bloom: The case for creativity in a world hooked on panic.' In this chat, he tells Osher all about it, plus his learnings on being more creative, how creativity has been essential in his life, why a lot of self-help isn't actually helpful, how he navigates the common compulsion of social media, the secrets to a long-lasting relationship and why attention can be life or death.

If you feel like you're not living the kind of life you want, and if you feel like you're avoiding more than you're taking action to change that, then you might be what Dr Emily Musgrove calls 'stuck'. In this episode, Dr Emily, the clinical psychologist (regularly heard on 'The Imperfects' podcast') and author of the new book 'Unstuck: A Guide to Finding Your Way Forward to the Life You Want to Live' tackles this all too common feeling and shares simple ways to disarm the many things that paralyze us - from emotions, to stress, to the old stories that no longer serve us.

You might know actor Tim Pocock from his roles in Dance Academy or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Even as a child, he graced the Sydney Opera House starring in operas directed by Baz Lurhman. But that world of artistic expression was in stark contrast to the other world Tim was part of for so long - one of repression by conservative catholicism under Opus Dei - made all the worse as he began to realise who he truly was. In this chat, Tim reveals his experiences of shame, bullying and conversion therapy, as well as his journey toward healing, discovery and self-acceptance, and the ongoing work of undoing the trauma of the beliefs that kept him feeling trapped for so long. An inspiration for anyone who’s ever felt silenced or lived an inauthentic life, an insight into certain pockets of religious institutions and a vital plea for the parents of every LGBTIAQ+ child.

Hey Lifers! Laura’s baby is taking a stand/protesting to Matt disclosing her name on his podcast. If you’ve had a baby, did you and your partner agree on whether to share the name/s publicly before the baby was born? Britt has entered a new career - being a professional dancer! Dancing with the stars has aired and our twinkle toes tore up the dance floor! We share some BTS of Dancing with the Stars and Britt finally gets the answer to whether Osher knew that she was going to be dumped on Bach 8 years ago! Two stories came out over the weekend that both surrounded the unveiling of the identities of online trolls/cyber bullies. Indy Clinton has received a 64 page document from a private investigator that includes the names and details about some of her relentless trolls. A couple in Ireland have successfully sued the formally anonymous owner of ‘tattle life,’ an online gossip cesspit and had his identity released.So with the advancements in technology that make online anonymity harder, do you think trolls would stop and think twice if they thought there was the risk that their identity would be exposed? Should influencers release the identities of their online trolls if they have concrete proof that they’re the ones responsible for years worth of bullying? Do you think tech companies like meta or tiktok have more of a responsibility to not allow people to be anonymous? We discuss whether these trolls being exposed would do potentially more harm than good or whether it’s a consequence for their own behaviour. We chat about precedents, how trolling affects both Britt and Laura and whether we think these stories will shift the dial at all.

When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years. Instead, he wrote the book he wished he had during times when his mental health wasn’t doing well. It’s the kind of book one grabs when they’ve tried everything else but still feel stuck, or they’re trying to understand how someone they care about keeps going in circles, and things seem to be getting worse. It’s specifically written for people who aren’t used to asking for help or are concerned that asking for help might impact them negatively. To ensure the book is as powerful as possible, Osher worked with an eminent Australian psychologist to make sure all the messages and techniques are legitimate. Some of the content is quite complicated, so to make things easier to understand, he wanted to use illustrations. While Osher isn’t bad at sketching, he isn’t an artist. There was only one artist Osher wanted to work with, someone who could understand what he was trying to do and who would get the concepts he wanted to put on the page. That person is the legendary Campbell Walker aka @struthless69, who joins us today. Pre-order “So What?

When that person up ahead in the right turn only lane puts their blinker on way too late and starts to merge across the solid line towards your lane, what are your thoughts about that person? When you you distinctly recall asking your partner to empty the recycling bin yesterday, and now it’s a jenga pile of jam jars and plastic packets - what are your thoughts about that person? Just to speculate, they’re not positive thoughts are they? However - do you realise that what’s happening there with your judgment about the other person is one of the core thinking biases which can destroy relationships, and lead to unnecessary, possibly dangerous conflict with strangers? Luckily it’s one of those things that once you know it’s there, you can actively start to work at it - and in this episode Osher talks about identifying and dealing with this trap of thinking which often sits at the core of all relationship discontent.For more on the book announcement: https://oshergunsberg.substack.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'. Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Something happened on the other side of that election result which I would really love to talk about.Something which we’ve I’ve noticed missing among all the forensic dissection of how the libs lost this or the greens lost that.There’s a massive, glaring fact which I haven’t seen discussed yet, so I thought I’d put it out there.It’s got to do with what we’re being told we are vs what we actually are.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sometimes it can feel like everything is out of our control - that things happen to us rather than for us or with us.

There's a fair bit about Michelle Brasier's life that doesn't seem that funny. She lost her Dad, then her brother, then was told she had a 97% chance of her own life being cut short by cancer too. Yet she's still finding humour, choosing optimism and singing just about any chance she gets. And like, she's a very funny and talented comedian (and writer, and actor) - so yeah, there's still plenty of laughs still around. In this very special live episode, recorded at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, celebrating the launch of Michelle's memoir 'My Brother’s Ashes Are In A Sandwich Bag' (named one of Apple’s Best Books of 2024 and first in the list of Audible’s Top Ten Memoirs of the year 2024), Michelle discusses how she lives her life and chooses to see the world, her creative practice, and honoring people who aren't there anymore, even if they're past versions of yourself.
