Professor Alistair Sproul is the Head of the School of Photovoltaic & Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW. A globally recognised leader in his field, he's been working in renewable energy and energy efficiency for nearly 40 years.

In this episode, we discuss why the political messaging around the energy transition timeline is wildly off the mark. While major parties debate slow-crawling policies, the laws of physics and the hard facts of economics are driving a change much faster than many imagine.

Alistair shares Australia’s incredible history as a solar pioneer, explains why coal and gas are becoming "expensive old cars" prone to breaking down, and highlights the massive economic opportunity Australia has to lead the world in green energy exports.

Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Better Than Yesterday with Osher Gunsberg

What you need to know about Australia's transition to renewable energy with Prof Alistair Sproul

In this episode of Better Than Yesterday, Osher Günsberg sits down with life coach and author Jaemin Frazer for a thought-provoking conversation about insecurity, self-worth, identity and the stories we tell ourselves that shape our lives.

They explore Jaemin's remarkable journey from church pastor to sought-after coach, including how questioning long-held beliefs transformed the way he understands purpose, responsibility and personal freedom, and ultimately deconstructed everything he knew about his faith.

Jaemin discusses why he believes that insecurity isn't simply a lack of confidence, but the fear that our deepest doubts about ourselves might actually be true. Together, they unpack where those beliefs come from, why so many of us unknowingly sabotage our own happiness, and what it really takes to create lasting personal change.

Osher and Jaemin also discuss the hidden "secondary gains" that keep us stuck, why agency is one of the most powerful tools we have, how our childhood experiences shape adult behaviour, and what parents can do to help their children build genuine confidence.

Whether you're navigating self-doubt, feeling trapped by old patterns, or simply curious about challenging preconceived notions about yourself or your life, this episode offers practical insights that challenge conventional thinking and encourage a deeper understanding of yourself.

How to Overcome Insecurity and Stop Letting Fear Run Your Life with Jaemin Frazer

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/7402ad4e-c6e3-4a31-af67-b47c004836c9/transcript

In this episode of Better Than Yesterday, I'm revisiting a powerful conversation I had with world-renowned psychologist and author Dr Susan David about the science of emotions, resilience, and creating meaningful change.

Susan shares the ideas behind her groundbreaking work on emotional agility - the ability to accept difficult emotions, understand what they’re telling us, and respond in ways that align with our values. We explore why fighting uncomfortable feelings often makes them stronger, how simply naming our emotions can change the way we experience them, and why discomfort is an essential part of living a meaningful life.

She also offers practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, comparison, and self-doubt — including how to move from 'have to' goals to 'want to' goals, and how small habit changes through “piggybacking” can create lasting transformation.

Stop Avoiding Your Feelings: The Science of Emotional Agility with Susan David

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/c7692a84-0511-43a9-9705-b473006d2ba7/transcript

In this powerful conversation, Osher Gunsberg sits down with journalist and author Hannah McElhinney to explore the complex world of chronic illness, medical misinformation, and what can happen when people lose trust in the systems designed to help them.

Hannah shares the deeply personal story that inspired her latest book - the loss of her cousin Lauren, and the journey to understand how someone searching for answers to chronic pain and illness could become drawn into alternative treatments, online health communities, and misinformation.

Having had his own experience with chronic pain, Osher and Hannah unpack the desperation that drives some people to seek out alternative solutions, the need to feel heard, and the longing for a diagnosis or treatment when conventional medicine doesn’t have easy answers. They also discuss health anxiety, patient mistrust, medical misogyny, systemic failures within healthcare systems, and how vulnerable people can be exploited by those offering certainty and “miracle” cures.

Hannah and Osher also explore why empathy matters when talking about health misinformation — and why understanding someone’s experience is often the first step toward actually helping them find their way back to evidence-based care.

The Reality of Living In The Outback: Brendan Cullen's Journey from Pain to Purpose
Resetting your Nervous System with Jessica Maguire
How Radio Star Robin Bailey Kept Going Through Unimaginable Grief - Twice

In this powerful conversation, Osher Gunsberg sits down with journalist and author Hannah McElhinney to explore the complex world of chronic illness, medical misinformation, and what can happen when people lose trust in the systems designed to help them.
Hannah shares the deeply personal story that inspired her latest book - the loss of her cousin Lauren, and the journey to understand how someone searching for answers to chronic pain and illness could become drawn into alternative treatments, online health communities, and misinformation.
Having had his own experience with chronic pain, Osher and Hannah unpack the desperation that drives some people to seek out alternative solutions, the need to feel heard, and the longing for a diagnosis or treatment when conventional medicine doesn&rsquo;t have easy answers. They also discuss health anxiety, patient mistrust, medical misogyny, systemic failures within healthcare systems, and how vulnerable people can be exploited by those offering certainty and &ldquo;miracle&rdquo; cures.
Hannah and Osher also explore why empathy matters when talking about health misinformation &mdash; and why understanding someone&rsquo;s experience is often the first step toward actually helping them find their way back to evidence-based care.
