At the youthful age of sixty, Tony Mantz (Jack the Bear) is figuring out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. The guy who once tipped the scales at 170kgs and consumed eight litres of coke daily (216 teaspoons of sugar), while having an actual coke (cocaine) habit is back and we had a great chat about reinvention, possibilities, ageism, retirement, getting better with age, the psychology of age, starting over, building a new career (at sixty) and lots more. Enjoy.

#1497 Starting Again (At 60) - Tony Mantz (Jack The Bear)

Every time I record a podcast, and Melissa edits it (gaps, coughs, long pauses, etc.) I ask her, "what score do you give it?" because I want a simple, quick numerical evaluation of the chat. We have a mutual understanding of what the numbers mean (developed over eight years). She's never scored anything a '10' but she did score this episode a '9'. That's all I'm telling you. Enjoy. BIO: Leon Logothetis is a British-born adventurer, author, speaker, and philanthropist best known for his work promoting kindness and human connection around the world. A former London stockbroker, he left the finance industry after feeling unfulfilled and set out to travel the globe relying on the generosity of strangers. His journeys inspired several books and the Netflix documentary series The Kindness Diaries, in which he retraces his travels and surprises those who helped him with life-changing gifts. Having visited more than 100 countries, Logothetis now shares stories and insights that encourage empathy, courage, and the transformative power of simple acts of kindness.

Well, this episode was a ripper (he says humbly), Dr Jess was (is) a ripper and I think this might be a fave for some of you. We didn't go overboard on the "OCD, hoarding and anxiety" chat but we did open the conversational door on plenty of topics that are relevant for all of us. Enjoy. *BIO: Dr Jessica Grisham is a ground-breaking researcher and world-renowned expert on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), hoarding, and anxiety. She is a Professor in the School of Psychology at UNSW Sydney, Australia, and has extensive clinical experience assessing and treating sufferers of OCD and hoarders.

#2120 Can We Understand Ourselves? - Prof. Jessica Grisham

Every morning, I ask myself a version of this question - "in terms of what I need to get done today, what is the optimal use of my time, energy and attention?" For this chat, Bobby, Tiff and I focus on the "energy" part of the question. It's true that many of us waste significant energy on things which provide us with a poor return on that energetic investment. That is, we focus on (obsess about?) things we can't really change or control, while investing little or no energy in the things we can. For me, learning to optimise my physical, mental and emotional energy has been a decades-long process. Enjoy.
