What if the person standing in your way isn’t your enemy - but the very thing helping you become a better version of yourself?

In this episode of Better Than Yesterday, I'm exploring the surprising power of having a nemesis — someone or something that challenges you, pushes you beyond your comfort zone and gives you a reason to keep improving. Drawing on the unlikely wisdom of the animated series Grizzly and the Lemmings, the legendary rivalry between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, and the fierce competition of State of Origin, it's a look at why having someone to push against can be essential to our growth.

It's a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges can provide out greatest lessons, and that the resistance we face may be exactly what makes life more meaningful.

With every new day comes the opportunity to grow. Hosted by Osher Günsberg - a best-selling author, podcaster, TV host, husband, dad, stepdad, electric mobility enthusiast and part-time climate worrier. This podcast is here to help make today better than yesterday. Since 2013, the show has set out to improve life for you and the people you love. Sometimes it’s authentic conversations. Sometimes we’ll unpack the news or hear how Osher deals with life as a sober person with a different brain. But you’ll always hear something you need to hear (and laugh while you do). Listen to feel less alone, build better habits and discover some solution-based approaches for when life gets tricky.
