The headlines would have us believe the world is falling apart. 

Every day we're bombarded with stories of conflict, outrage and division, making it easy to lose faith in humanity. But what if that's not the real world? Inspired by a powerful reflection from singer-songwriter Marc Scibilia, this episode explores why our brains are naturally drawn to negativity, why good people rarely make the front page, and why some of the most remarkable people you'll ever meet will never be famous. If you've been feeling weighed down by the news or questioning where the good in the world has gone, this episode is a timely reminder to step away from the headlines and reconnect with the quiet acts of kindness happening all around us.

In this episode you'll discover:
Why bad news dominates our attention.
The psychology behind negativity bias.
Why ordinary people are doing extraordinary things every day.
How changing what you look for can change how you see the world.
Why your greatest legacy won't be your fame, but your character.

Because the world isn't defined by the people making the headlines. It's built by the people who never do.

Getting older isn’t something to fear — it’s something to earn. 

In this episode of the Building Better Humans Project, I explore the idea of looking at age as levels rather than years. Every level brings more experience, perspective, resilience and wisdom — provided we’re willing to learn from what we’ve lived through. We also talk about the enormous value older generations still have in a rapidly changing world. 

Technology and AI can provide information, but they can’t replace lived experience, human connection and the wisdom we have an opportunity — and responsibility — to pass on. Ageing is inevitable. Growth isn’t. Keep levelling up.

Monday Motivation #5 - The Four Pillars of Great Leadership Part 01

Quitting is easy. The real challenge is continuing to show up when the results haven’t arrived, the motivation has disappeared and the people around you don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve.

In this episode, Glenn explores the difficult space between starting the work and seeing the reward. It’s a reminder that progress is often invisible before it becomes undeniable—and that success is built through ordinary actions repeated when giving up would be easier.
