Years of incarceration. Addiction, alcoholism, attempted suicide, rehabilitation, recovery, redemption and re-invention. Depression, anxiety, healing, happiness. Fatherhood. Peaks and troughs. More troughs. Breakdowns, break-ups and breakthroughs. Addiction counsellor. Business owner. Entrepreneur. Radio presenter. And now in his fifties, Mick Hall is an elite athlete; a world boxing champion. This is a fun catch up and a story of potential and possibilities.

#1621 Inmate to World Champion | Mick Hall

Okay, so I might have been somewhat lazy and negligent when it comes to looking after my skin and having regular checks. I may have also just got off the phone with the Skin Doc who told me that I'm an idiot for waiting, avoiding and being irresponsible. The pathology just came back from two biopsies (forehead, elbow) and one surgery (chin) and let's just say none of it was great news (basal cell carcinomas) but it could have been worse. I'll be fine but it was heading towards… not fine. Two more surgeries next week and five more biopsies on remaining 'concerns' So, what's my long-winded point? Well, this episode revolves around the idea of paying attention to the ever-present signs, symptoms and messages (in all areas of our lives) and not waiting for sh*t to break.

#1622 The Doctor Scared Me - Harps

You're gonna find this hard to believe but, some people don't like me, what I do or how I do it. Shocking, I know. I mean, l'm so fucking adorable, how can they not? Of course I jest, and of course, me and my stuff (podcasts, whiteboard messages, conversations, personality, language, humour) will land well with some, and not with others. Of course. The same exact message will confuse person A, inspire person B, inform person C, make person D laugh, and piss person E right off. It's a statistical inevitability (over time) and while I try to create optimal connection and impact, l'm aware I never will. It was with that reality in mind, that I recorded this episode.

#1620 Why People Hate (& Love) My Stuff - Harps

My favourite professor of pharmacology and toxicology Dr. Bill Sullivan is back (okay, he's the only one I know but he's legit awesome) and this time we chat about the way our genetics affect (and/or relate to) everything from introversion and extraversion, to our likelihood of becoming an addict, our physiological responses to stress, anxiety and depression, the idea of creating an environment in which we 'work best', why Ozzy Osbourne is a genetic freak (literally) who can consume profound amounts of booze without the (normal) damage, whether we actually have free will, the relationship between genetics, discipline and self-control, and lots more. Enjoy.
