#1438 Echo Chambers, Critical Thinking & Pushing Back - Prof. Bryan Caplan

I often wonder who and how I would be if I (me.. the same bloke, same brain, same genetics, same personality, same innate potential) grew up in a different environment and culture, having different experiences, surrounded by different people and with different influences, education and programming. This episode is a conversation about that idea.

#1595 The Other You - Harps

Chatting with Matt Formston, you'd think that his blindness has, in some ways, been a blessing. A platform to learning and growing, to pushing back, to challenging the status quo, to high-performance, to understanding human potential and possibilities, to creating opportunities, to step up when most would give up and perhaps most importantly, to inspire others to explore and optimise their own potential. Matt was diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy at age five and has since lived life with only 3% of his vision. Growing up in 1980s Australia, he shattered stereotypes by excelling in mainstream school and sports, including Rugby and surfing (he recently surfed a 51 ft wave). Battling negativity and bullying, Matt transformed into a world-class athlete, setting a cycling world record in 2009, riding 1,200 km from Sydney to Melbourne. *A documentary-movie about Matt's life is out in cinemas Australia-wide on August 15. It's called 'The Blind Sea’.

#1594 What Handicap? - Matt Formston

Tammy Van Wisse is one of Australia's greatest ever marathon swimmers and endurance athletes, having swum the Murray River (2,438 kms) in a record 106 days without a single day off, the treacherous Bass Strait (97.4kms), the English Channel (multiple times), the freezing cold Loch Ness (40kms) in a record time of 9 hours and 6 minutes, Cook Strait (NZ) and plenty more. In short, Tammy has swum the equivalent of one-and-a-half times around the world, setting six world records, five of which are still current. Of all the elite athletes l've trained (over four decades), Tammy is my all-time no.1 for mental toughness (she literally embraced pain), as well as being perhaps the most positive person (athlete or not) I've ever worked with. I love her, so will you.
