  • Loved the ep with Chris!

    Hi Richard! Loved the leadership lessons with Chris Fuzie, that you do what you have to do in large part because you swore an oath saying that you would do just that. Left you a simple 5-star rating and review!

  • Amazing Podcast!

    I recently listened to the episode The Art of Being Authentic with T. Mark Meyer. I really enjoyed hearing the journey he took to lead a different life. Richard did a great job of asking questions that really brought out the information that can help people.

  • Great for Anyone Who Leads, Is Human and Wants an Inside Track on Thinking that’s Forward and Deep

    If you are one of those people who has realised that the world and the way we do business is in desperate need of a thorough and more human rethink, you’ll get a lot out of these conversations.

    Strong interviewer, who isn’t afraid to be real and be changed.

    Fascinating guests.

    My only complaint is that the the guests are so good I often end up buying and read their books and other content!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#368 How to Rewire Your Mindset to Transform Your Health and Connections - David Robson
Q: Can you unpack the internal vs external visualization with Michael Phelps as an example?
Internal visualization uses the senses and literally imagining performing the movements from within the body, which strengthens the brain's motor pathways and recruits more muscle fibers. External visualization, while helpful, is less effective because it creates a third-person view that isn't as closely aligned with actual movement signals.
#368 How to Rewire Your Mindset to Transform Your Health and Connections - David Robson
Q: What was the first instance where you applied a shift in perspective to improve your learning or performance?
I began to realize that self-efficacy—believing I could reach a goal with effort and the right strategies—was the key. I transformed my approach to learning maths by focusing on technique and practice, which moved me from mediocre to top of my class.
#369 From Refugee Camp to CEO — What 40 Jobs Taught Him About Leadership - Ali Mahlodji
Q: What were the early experiences that shaped your approach to leadership and learning?
Ali recounts escaping Iran as a child, growing up in a refugee camp, and how education and reading helped him overcome stuttering and dropout experiences, ultimately fueling his curiosity and drive to learn and lead.
#366 The 18th Century Scientist Who Mapped the Afterlife - Curtis Childs
Q: Could you tell me a little bit more about the mental health challenges you were facing?
Curtis describes a long history of depression and anxiety, including OCD and health anxiety, with episodes intensifying during adolescence and reappearing in various forms. He explains how Swedenborg's framework provided a lens to understand and manage these experiences, alongside CBT approaches that emphasize challenging thoughts and recognizing cognitive errors.
#363 Can Ayahuasca Heal What Therapy Cannot? - Sam Believ
Q: What should a first-time guest expect at Lawayra?
First-timers undergo education and preparation to avoid overwhelming experiences; ceremonies are paced slowly to foster connection without rushing into intense experiences, with emphasis on safety, integrity, and responsible facilitation.
