When people look at our dog Gabby, they almost always say, “Oh, she’s so beautiful.” Gabby, however, isn’t beautiful by breed standards. She’s actually a mess. Her muzzle isn’t boxy enough. Her back sloops. Her hips splay. She’s about twenty pounds too skinny. And that’s mostly all because she was abused and starved her first year of life, tied by a chain to a tree in the Alabama fields. But Gabby isn’t about shame. Gabby is about being – being joyous, loving, and keeping her flock of kittens and people and one other dog safe. Gabby doesn’t have shame about her imperfections. “She’s the prettiest puppy ever,” people coo to her when we take walks. “Who’s the beautiful baby?” Or sometimes it’s just a simple, “Oh, what a beautiful dog.” Gabby has no shame about her broken body that doesn’t meet AKC standards. She has joy even when she’s broken, hurt, limping along or having a bad fur day. We can learn a lot from Gabby. On the entry “shame v. guilt” on her blog, Dr. Bréne Brown writes, Dr. Bréne Brown“I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging – something we’ve experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection. I don’t believe shame is helpful or productive. In fact, I think shame is much more likely to be the source of destructive, hurtful behavior than the solution or cure. I think the fear of disconnection can make us dangerous.” For many women and men, shame has a lot to do with not looking pretty enough, perfect enough, sexy enough, good enough. We stare at our eyes and worry about their shape, our lack of lips, our lack of butt, our lack of symmetry. Lacks. It’s always about lacks. Gabby has no shame about how she looks because she’s a dog. People have no judgement about her lacks because they aren’t constantly fed how she’s supposed to look as a Great Pyr. They just see her dog soul shining through, her kind eyes and her fluffy, white fur. We can’t quickly erase all the beauty programming that the media, our relatives, and even our friends and lovers have fed us, but we can know what triggers our shame and call it out. Shaun says things like, “You are so beautiful.” And I cringe. I cringe and ask, “What about the scar on my stomach?” And he’ll say, “Still beautiful.” And I’ll keep cringing and say, “I think I’m losing my lips.” “Still beautiful.” “I have no eyebrows.” “Still beautiful.” What Shaun has is a great ability to pull me out of my shame spiral, but also empathy. It’s why he was a fantastic cop when he was a cop. Brown writes this in the Semantic Scholar, Brown againWiseman identifies four defining attributes of empathy: (a) to be able to see the world as others see it; (b) to be nonjudgmental; (c) to understand another person’s feelings; and (d) to communicate your understanding of that person’s feelings (1996). Empathy is almost an opposite to shame.

They’ve created a new system of value. And is that not what blockchain can be at its most exciting?   Tune in to learn about all the good that The Plastic Bank has been up to in the past several years, the origin of their company, their mission statement and current goals, how blockchain is utilized in their company, and more!   Key Takeaways: [:01] About today’s episode. [2:25] What is The Plastic Bank? And how did Shaun and David come up with the idea to start it back in 2013? [3:05] What is the root cause of ocean plastics? And when did they recognize the opportunity it provided and the possible value exchange? [5:39] Shaun further explains his early quote after co-founding The Plastic Bank: “The entire idea almost starts with a metaphor that if you walked into the kitchen and the sink was overflowing … and all you had was a bucket and a mop, what do you do first? You turn off the tap.” [8:23] Some of the first regions and communities they were first able to work with, and why. [10:41] Join the conversation! If you want to learn more about how leading innovators and humanitarians are using blockchain to create new models for change, advance collective knowledge, and solve what impacts us all, visit IBM.com/Blockchain/For-Good. [11:33] What were some of the first forms of exchange for ocean plastics when they first started up The Plastic Bank? [14:50] When was their eureka moment?

Where do you start with Shaun Stafford? Well you will hear it all in this episode. From Shaun going to Oxford University, through all of his WBFF Pro competition years, opening a gym (which was fascinating for me to hear) to doing something massively outside his comfort zone in running the Everest Marathon. It was an unbelievably fascinating conversation. I consider myself as somebody who has a lot going on but Shaun is a whole new level. As I listened to Shaun talk I realised how effective somebody can be in so many areas and still remain so composed. It is also so clear where Shaun's priorities lie as an individual. His family is number one and everything else is second. That is the way I want to be living my life when the time is right. It was such a gripping period hour spent with Shaun and I really felt like I learnt a lot. As I walked away from this episode it was another example of how this podcast can be used as a platform to learn and be inspired about what Is possible. Take a look at some of the topics we spoke about. How Shaun went from Oxford University to a career in the fitness industry. Shaun's journey through to his WBFF Pro card. How he obtained, lost and then obtained AGAIN his his WBFF Pro winning title. Opening City Athletic - Why did he decide to open a gym? His Advice to anybody thinking about opening a gym and what the harsh reality of doing this is. How on earth Shaun went from bodybuilding to running the Everest Marathon Shaun tells us how much he loves running! But seriously he loved raising money for a special charity in Nepal. Shaun's process around 'Goal Setting'. This is something I have wanted to ask Shaun for a while. What is on the cards for Shaun over the next 12 months. What Shaun's life lesson would be for an individual in their 20's looking for a direction.

    In this episode, qualified Naturopath Ashleigh Mythen talks with Shaun Brewster - a Myotherapist, Exercise Physiologist, Ultra-endurance runner and ex-Martial Arts instructor who has spent his adult life carving out a professional career doing exactly what makes him happy. Early in his career, Shaun discovered the power of saying YES to opportunities when they presented themselves and creating opportunities when they didn’t. From becoming a university lecturer at the ripe old age of 21, to running hundreds of kilometres raising money for cancer research, to owning and operating one the fastest growing health education company in Australia - CEA - Shaun believes he has a completely unreasonable level of belief in his ability to do anything he puts his mind to and well it seems to be working for him. I was lucky enough to be able to see Shaun speak at a seminar last year -  he has such a great energy and positive vibe which is why I'm so excited to have him on today's show. Some of the things you'll discover in this week's episode are: + Why it's important to love what you do + How Shaun went about creating his own opportunities when they didn't present themselves + The power of saying YES even when fear is apparent + The challengers Shaun faced and how he overcame them + How Shaun continues to love what he does after over 20 years in the health industry + What Shaun would have liked to know 20 years ago + Why Shaun created his company 'Continue Education Australia' + How confidence isn't something you have but something you do + How being a bad student helped him to become a great teacher + How Shaun takes care of himself while having such an active and involved career + 3 things Shaun tries to do every day for optimum health + Why health is important when building the career of your dreams + AND SO MUCH MORE!!  This episode has been sponsored by Naturopress - a cold press juicer that makes health and weight loss easy.
