I returned from a trip to Nepal less that a week ago, and I have to say it opened a can of worms. While I loved Nepal overall, I have come away with a lot of questions about traditions, religion and humanity, and how they intertwine. Sometimes not in a good way. I really believe Nepal is a great place, but it was also an intense catalyst for pain, growth and intense curiosity and interest in why we never stop to question our beliefs. I was ready for this trip, but it impacted me far differently than I expected it to.

This week I spent 2 days at a Changemaker workshop facilitated by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation. It was challenging but in the most wonderful way. I had a lovely realisation when my ‘list of things I need as a changemaker’ made it clear that it’s all about the journey.

I also found out a life changing secret about the humble sticky note!

This episode includes a conversation between Sophie and Mike as they review my book ‘Get Off The Bench’ and pull out the key insights. Frankly, I’d forgotten how much juicy stuff was in this book since writing it in 2019. But there’s a kicker… you’ll have to listen to find out!

Full of wonderful little gems and one great big surprise at the end!

Jeff Morgan's journey from the streets of Redfern to becoming a highly sought-after speaker is one of transformation, resilience, and hope. Growing up in one of Sydney's most notorious suburbs, Jeff's early years were marred by hardship, crime, and stints in maximum-security prisons. His criminal activities escalated from petty theft to more serious offences, including car theft and bank robberies, which led to 18 years in and out of prison.

However, during his final incarceration, Jeff had a life-changing moment that set him on a new course. After the death of both his parents from cancer while he was in prison, Jeff turned to education and self-reflection. He began studying nutrition, discovering the power of learning, taking responsibility, and shifting his perspective on life. With newfound purpose, Jeff emerged from prison in 2010, dedicated to helping others, especially young people, make better choices.

Today, Jeff is a respected speaker, delivering transformative talks across Australia, focusing on leadership, mindset, health, wellbeing, and empowerment, with a special emphasis on Indigenous youth.

Founder and CEO of Pulsatile Innovations, Elleesha King, has been an ambulance paramedic and registered nurse for over ten years. While often working alone in remote and rural areas, Elleesha found herself having to juggle multiple tasks during cardiac arrest emergencies, especially when trying to accurately check for a pulse. She began to wonder if this was a common problem and why there wasn't a simple tool to help rescuers in these situations.

After looking into the issue and talking with colleagues, Elleesha realised that many healthcare professionals shared the same struggle in checking a pulse quickly. Some guidelines recommend finding a pulse within 5 seconds, but Elleesha questioned how realistic that was in high-pressure situations.

Since coming up with the idea for Pulse Tile, Elleesha has heard many stories from colleagues and reflected on her own experiences where such a device could have made a critical difference in saving lives or preventing severe disabilities after cardiac arrest.

In 2023, Elleesha took a big step by raising funds through extra work shifts and self-funded the development of an initial prototype. Since then, she and the Pulsatile Innovations team have been building connections in the medical tech and startup world, seeking more funding and building strong partnerships to bring Pulse Tile to market as a life-saving product.

In this episode I discuss the concept of happiness, emphasising internal contentment and making life adjustments, preferring continuous change to New Year's resolutions. Reflecting on 2024, there were many successes like our Cambodia retreat, but there were also challenges such as losing our beautiful donkey Jade, and my father-in-law.

For 2025, we aim to simplify life by decluttering, automating tasks, and reducing stress. We plan to spend more time together, take more dog-friendly holidays, and implement low-maintenance garden solutions. Kerryn also mentions practical steps like buying a fly net and pre-booking holidays to reduce stress and improve happiness.
