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.

In this episode of Better Than Yesterday, Osher Gunsberg sits down with educator, father and author Ryan Martin to explore one of the most challenging, rewarding and deeply personal jobs in the world: parenting.

After 25 years working in education, including being named Principal of the Year in the Northern Territory, Ryan brings a wealth of experience to the conversation. His book, Little F*ckers, offers an honest, practical and distinctly Australian perspective on raising strong-willed children.

Ryan shares how his own experience of being expelled from high school shaped his approach to discipline, connection and resilience. Together, he and Osher unpack why connecting with children before correcting their behaviour matters, how focusing on the good can transform family dynamics, and why protecting our kids from every disappointment might actually be holding them back.

They also explore the challenges of raising neurodivergent children, the impact of smartphones and screens on communication, the importance of teaching gratitude and social skills, and the emotional reality of watching your children grow up and become independent, all with a laugh and using language often never used when discussing parenting.

Expelled from School to Principal of the Year: Ryan Martin on Raising Little F*ckers

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/83071f88-2b54-4369-b475-b4fe004a0705/transcript

Osher Günsberg takes us on a Halloween journey -  from trick-or-treating in a bed sheet in 1980s Brisbane, to DJing in a Voldemort costume in his front yard while his wife drops a giant spider on unsuspecting adults. Along the way, he makes the case that Halloween isn’t just an American import - it’s a night where an entire community shows up for each other’s kids, and the memories are worth every piece of chocolate.

Topics covered:
How slasher films and E.T. taught Australian kids about trick-or-treating
Halloween in America vs. Australia and why our version hits different
Teaching Wolfie the art of misdirection (and accidentally making a three-year-old cry)
DJ Voldemort, Harry Potter, and Hermione
800 kids, one spider, and why it all matters

Coming up:
Story Club December 6th: live on stage with Hannah Ferguson, Mark Humphries, Gen Fricker, Claire Cavanagh, and Charlotte Mortlock. It's the last Story Club of the year get in quick before it sells out again. Get tickets here
Live streaming is coming back - subscribe to our YouTube to get involved.
