At a point where Tony "Jack the Bear" Mantz is leaping into his 6th decade he's back for a banter on life, the journey, the highs and the lows as he makes the move to shift gears with a new career path and passion. We begin with a chuckle about drawing out some tears and emotion back in our first chat way back in episode 20 (four years ago now), I had the last laugh (or cry) as we got every bit as deep and emotional at one point here too. 

Tony shares about overcoming self-sabotage and addiction, his experiences with drug use, shedding a LOT of weight along the way, self-awareness, and the transformative power that psychedelic therapy proved to have in his case. 

He's a ripper, you'll love him!

Shifting Gears at 60: From Self-Sabotage to Self-Actualisation | Tony "Jack The Bear" Mantz - 807

Alright, legends Bobby Cappuccio is back and we are talking about connection, purpose, the trap of 'being busy,' and the moments we let slip through our fingers because we think we'll get to them later. Spoiler alert: sometimes, later doesn’t come.

Bobby opens up about some of his own regrets and missed connections, sharing how those experiences have shaped him. And here’s what really strikes me - it ain't about some massive life overhaul but about small, intentional moments. He talked about how trauma has shaped his need for control, and I could relate so much to that. I’d just come back from my own little 'reset'... walking slower, saying yes to things I’d usually brush off, feeling more present and creative than I have in a long time.

Together, we tackle the real challenge of surrender and letting go of the need to always have a handle on everything, allowing yourself to just be in the experience. For Bobby and me, it’s about realising that stepping back and shifting your perspective isn’t just nice to have; it’s absolutely necessary for growth and resilience.

Of course, we had a good chuckle about some of the less heavy stuff too. But all jokes aside, this conversation reminded me how important it is to live in the now, to let go of 'someday,' and to focus on the things that actually make us feel alive.

So, if you’re ready to rethink how you spend your days, embrace a little more connection, and maybe just slow down enough to enjoy the journey, this episode is for you.

The Art of Surrender & Living on Purpose | Bobby Cappuccio - 858

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/799158bc-1f9f-4d61-8ce4-b21a01600f0a/transcript

Righto, legends, buckle up because today, I'm rolling into a conversation with our good friend Patrick Bonello. If you’ve tuned in before, you know Patrick’s not just any guest - he’s one of those mates who brings a whole mix of laughter, deep thought, and the kind of tangents that make you wonder how you ended up laughing so hard in the first place.

This ep? It’s all about the unexpected magic you find when you let go of the need to control everything. Patrick and I dive into our recent 'travels' - mine to India and his, well, into the world of life drawing as a model! Also, if you’ve ever thought staring into someone’s eyes for five minutes was intense, try doing it in a place where neither of you speaks the same language. Or, better yet, imagine letting a bunch of strangers draw every detail of you in a life drawing class. We chat about the thrill of finding connection in strange places, how stripping back the layers (sometimes literally) can teach you more about yourself, and why we both believe in embracing those out-of-the-blue interactions that shape who we are.

Get ready for a chat that’ll leave you both chuckling and contemplating some big questions. Like, who’s in your circle, and are they bringing out the best in you? This episode is a shoutout to anyone who’s ready to say yes to life’s curveballs, connect with people on a deeper level, and maybe even let go of a bit of that control we all cling to.

Today’s episode is a doozy. I’ve got Terry Tucker on the mic, and if you think you’re about to hear just another life story, think again. Terry has indeed been through the ringer...  from years on the police force to facing a rare and relentless form of cancer that just wouldn’t quit. But true to form, nor would Terry. He’s still here, still living his best life, and he’s got one hell of a perspective on what it means to live fully, face fear, and redefine resilience.

From the highs, the lows, and those gut-check moments where he had to choose between giving up and pressing forward, Terry opens up about how cancer has actually made him a better human, why he’s glad he never let go of his dreams, and how he’s found a way to put more good into the world than he ever thought possible. He talks about legacy, about emptying yourself into the world, about leaving things a little better than you found them. This is deep stuff that you and I love, and I promise, it’ll get you thinking.
