For fourteen years, Gavin Crosisca was simultaneously a professional footballer (in the AFL) and an addict. An addict playing 246 senior games with Collingwood, winning a premiership, using drugs on a daily basis, pretending to be ‘normal’ and living a lie to his family, friends and team mates. Sadly, his addiction lasted way longer than his football career but these days he’s clean and sober and helping others climb out of the hole he inhabited for more than twenty-five years.

#91 Gavin Crosisca: Football, Addiction, Redemption, Hope

I'm a big note writer. It's how my mind and my process works. It's a theoretical starting point that might turn into something bigger. Like a book. Or podcast. Or workshop. Or post. Or keynote (address). Or project. I'm always having a lightbulb that needs to get out of my head, onto a screen and into a document ASAP. I have literally thousands of notes, ideas, questions, themes and concepts stored in my computer. They are single sentences or questions. They are paragraphs. They are unpolished. They are freestyle me. They are philosophical. Sciencey. Personal. Practical. Weird. They are starting points. Today I stumbled over some notes that I wrote years ago - they made me think, smile and wonder. Today was the first time l have read them, since they were written. They are not necessarily related and they do not flow from one to the next. They are really just me thinking out loud. But individually, I think they are worth considering. Enjoy.

Addiction comes in many forms, expresses itself in various ways, impacts the lives of millions (billions?) of people, and comes at a huge mental, emotional, social, financial and real world (living life) cost. In this TYP chat, Mick Hall (and Tiff) and I open the door on the thinking, emotion, behaviour and chaos (internal and external) that underlies this global problem. Enjoy.

#2153 Inside The Mind Of Addiction - Mick Hall

In the middle of the ambition, the grind, the hustle and the quest for success, can we also experience a level of contentment? At the same time? Can the drive to succeed in the future and over the long term, co-exist with an underlying calm and contentment in the moment? Or do ambition and drive need to be fuelled by a degree of insecurity, dissatisfaction and anxiety? Bobby and I opened this door and many others in this instalment of TYP.

Enjoy.
