Why Do We Get In Our Own Way? 09/10/2020

Why Do We Get In Our Own Way? Why do we get in our own way? Most of us can detect certain major themes or beliefs in our lives that keep resurfacing regularly. And sometimes, these beliefs get in the way of growth and success. They’re a bit like moving sand - the more we struggle with them, the deeper we sink. /episode/index/show/simple-minds/id/15956807

How to Kick the Curse of “Being Busy” and Be More Creative 01/16/2020

How to Kick the Curse of “Being Busy” and Be More Creative Matt keeps on getting distracted these days, it seems like every day he has a new thing that keeps him busy and away from the creative stuff he’d rather be doing. The rest of the lads (except Conrad of course) feel it too and are keen to have a look into how they can also break the curse of being too damn busy all of the time! /episode/index/show/simple-minds/id/12360176

How to Master Your Emotions 12/19/2019

How to Master Your Emotions Emotions are funny things, they’re inescapable parts of our lives and influence just about everything we do if we let them.

Nothing bad could happen from this at all, right? /episode/index/show/simple-minds/id/12329798

Head, Heart, or Gut? 12/12/2019

Head, Heart, or Gut? Did you know we have neurons in our stomachs and hearts, not just the brain? Yup. And that’s precisely what Travis hopes to speak about with the guys as he discusses the process of decision making and how our bodies’ own intuition can be a massive aid in that regard. Sometimes there’s simply more to a decision than simply being rational. /episode/index/show/simple-minds/id/12289508

[Book Review] Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions 12/05/2019

[Book Review] Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions Conrad recently read a book that had him thinking extensively on the subject of depression.

The Judgement: What’s in a First Impression? 11/28/2019

Why Tough Conversations Don’t Have to be Tough 11/21/2019

How to Speak Your Love Language 11/14/2019

How to Speak Your Love Language How we talk about love is kind of a tricky thing. It requires a bit of vulnerability and honesty that most men aren’t really keen to actually do. Thankfully, Trav has found a source of enlightenment in his approach to love and tries to encourage the rest of the lads, and listeners at home, to learn some lave languages and how to apply that to their lives and relationships. /episode/index/show/simple-minds/id/12031973
