Gary Todd, a best-selling author and fellow boxing enthusiast, has not only crossed paths with many of the biggest names in my favorite sport worldwide but is also an everyday hero in my eyes. His story serves as evidence that the underdog can triumph and that we can rise above our circumstances when we have someone supportive in our lives, which, in Gary's case, was his mother, Annie.

Gary's latest book, "Annie's Boy," is a beautiful and honest memoir that pays tribute to his mother's love, unwavering strength and stoicism in the face of the harshest environments and challenging circumstances that were commonplace in the Dundee, Scotland schemes during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite being raised amidst fear, struggle, and violence, Gary Todd stands here today, sharing a truly remarkable story worth hearing.

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.
Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.

Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:

What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?

We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.

We’re built to break.
And we become dangerous by design.
Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.

Fear, Struggle & Violence | Gary Todd - 629

In this episode I sit down with Professor Linda Byrne, clinical neuropsychologist and Dean of the Cairnmillar Institute, to unpack what’s going on in the world of psychology, neuropsychology, mental health care, and the messy intersection of labels, titles, coaches, influencers, algorithms, and self-diagnosis floating around out there.

We get into the difference between psychologists, neuropsychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, and coaches, which is handy because, let’s be honest, the mental health world can feel like a word salad with a Medicare rebate attached at times, aye.

Linda also explains the proposed changes to psychology training in Australia and why she’s worried that trying to pump out more psychologists faster might actually backfire. More access sounds great, obviously, but not if we end up lowering training standards, losing experienced providers, or still failing to get psychologists into the rural and regional areas where they’re desperately needed.

Then we wander, as I do, into ADHD, neurodiversity, social media diagnosis, algorithmic nonsense, learned helplessness, labels, identity, and whether a diagnosis becomes wings for freedom or an anchor that keeps us stuck.

It’s a really thoughtful, nuanced chat about reform, responsibility, self-awareness, and the importance of not outsourcing our entire sense of self to a reel that says “five signs you’re definitely ADHD.” Bloody algorithms, mate. Always stirring the pot.

More Mental Health Support, Less Training? Australia’s Risky Trade-Off | Linda Byrne - 1025

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/e6a05f3a-84ce-4054-9c80-b464007df36f/transcript

In this solo riff I’m unpacking the wonderfully chaotic, occasionally brilliant, sometimes slightly questionable world of ideas. You know, the ones that arrive like a lightning bolt and suddenly I’m building a program, launching a thing, reimagining my whole life and wondering if everyone else is watching going, “Here she bloody goes again.”

But this one is really about knowing yourself. Knowing when an idea has legs, when it needs to be parked, when quitting is actually wisdom, and when the fear of how something looks from the outside is getting in the way of what’s true for you.

I talk about creativity, consistency, business, Ten Rounds With Tiff, the new strength coaching idea I’m building, and why sometimes the thing you stopped doing wasn’t a failure at all. It was just part of the weird little puzzle that comes back later and fits somewhere you couldn’t see yet.

It’s a chat about saying yes quickly, saying no quickly, letting things evolve, and not white-knuckling your way through something just to prove you’re gritty.

Because life’s not a straight line, thank fark. It’s a strange little treasure hunt, and sometimes the thing you think you quit is actually still working quietly in the background.

Is This a Brilliant Idea or Just Me Again? | Tiff Cook Ideas - 1024

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/681aa401-f5bf-4d5f-9cac-b463009fffd5/transcript

Jess Kelly is one of those humans who walks into a room, says hell yes before she’s fully qualified, figures it out on the fly, and somehow makes the rest of us feel a little braver for existing near her.

In this episode, we talk about business, risk, failure, family, starting again, and what happens when the thing you’ve poured everything into comes crashing down. Jess and her husband spent years building a prefab housing business with a huge vision, a tiny budget, and a whole lot of guts. Then, after years of pushing, pivoting, borrowing, sweating, hoping, and believing, they had to make the brutal call to put it into voluntary administration.

But this ain't no doom and gloom chat... Not even close.

Jess talks about owning the narrative, choosing family in the middle of the chaos, writing her way through the mess, and why everything is either good news or a good story if you’re willing to look at it through the right lens. We also get into imposter syndrome, shame, the weird freedom of having nothing left to lose, and why curiosity might just be the thing that keeps us moving when life goes full catastrophe mode.

Honestly, Jess is a bloody weapon. Funny, honest, optimistic without being fluffy, and wildly refreshing. This one is a big, warm, slightly chaotic permission slip to take the risk, tell the truth, and give the thing a crack before you’ve got the shiny website, the perfect plan, or any idea what the hell you’re doing.
