Ultra-marathon runner Sean Bell is breaking down the raw and powerful mindset it took to keep moving forward when it was just him against the distance. Sean has become the fastest person to circumnavigate Australia on foot, finishing 13,383km in 158 days, 14 hours and 52 minutes. He averaged 84km per day and broke the existing record by 11 days. Sean pushed past mental and physical limits daily, not just to make history but to make a difference. Fueled by a mission to chase his audacious dreams and inspire others to do the same, Sean’s journey speaks to what’s possible when you commit entirely to a purpose. "Life is all about stages...initially, I never thought I'm going to run around Australia...but hearing [Stu Middleman] story made me believe that maybe I can run a marathon..and so once I achieved that, well then you think what's next?" In this episode Andrew and Sean discuss: 1:50 Sean’s recent move to Sydney, growing up wanting to be an AFL player and the moment that all changed after he ran his first marathon. 6:15 Working hard to achieve your goals, realising that nobody is coming to save you and you should only get a ribbon if you earn it. 10:50 Sean’s mate Joey unexpectedly passing away and the impact that had on Sean’s life, what Sean got out of seeing Tony Robbins live in America and starting to look at what is possible in ultra endurance running. 16:30 Why Sean is so optimistic, pushing past people telling you you’re not good enough and when Sean realised he would have to have a deliberate training plan to be able to run long distances. 22:45 Learning psychological skills through experience, Sean’s purpose and meeting his coach Jase while preparing for a big run. 28:30 The masterclass in goal setting that Sean has gone through, some of the inspirational figures in Sean’s life and running 50 marathons in 50 days to get ready for the run around Australia. 36:15 Some of the training Sean had to do to prepare his body for the run, how he was able to break it down into achievable goals and putting on excess muscle knowing you are going to lose it while running. 41:45 Looking at the requirements for being able to run around Australia and building up to that, the 33% split between physical, psychological and support staff needed to do the run and not wanting to tap out after starting the run. 47:30 Getting a stress fracture 8 weeks out from the run, breaking the run down into 8km segments and the best day of running that Sean had on his journey. 56:30 Running a double marathon every day as a goal, coach Jase’s unfortunate passing just before the run and the wizard’s take outs from the episode so far. 1:04:30 Sean still processing the fact that he was able to achieve his goal, getting support from previous record holders and the challenge of running across Tasmania after running around the mainland. 1:12:30 Sean’s unusual diet on the run, building up mental toughness on the run and the importance of visualisation for Sean’s problem solving on the run. 1:21:55 What Sean is planning to do next, how you can find Sean and Andrew and Shannon’s reflections.

Dr Tom and Andrew also explain a bit about why using animals in research can be deeply flawed if you expect to get the same results in humans, as well as giving a little bit of their knowledge on brown fat vs white fat and the effects cold water can have in relation to it.

Matty Lansdown is a scientist, nutritionist, and musician, with a background in nutritional epigenetics and disease research. A few years into working at a cancer hospital he began to feel like an imposter, "I was asking questions that no one else seemed to be asking, about the cause of disease and the impact of food on the body… It was so strange to me that quite obviously the majority of patients were overweight or obese and no one talked about their diet or their lifestyle. Ever." Matty now focuses on the causes of overeating and the emotions we attach to food. And we’re not referring to Bridget Jones crying over her answering machine with an ice-cream tub in hand…we’re talking about real patterns stemming from a range of factors that can include our parents and their patterns, trauma, our relationship with money, how advertisers market to us, what we see online, and more. Through his podcast 'How to Not Get Sick And Die', Matty is on a mission to install new beliefs, new mindsets, and new patterns to live a happy, healthy life.

| 06 Mar 2024 | #85 Mental Skills to Perform Under Pressure with Andrew May - Live Keynote for NSW Primary Principals Association | 00:51:27 | |
In the past 6 months, one sector we have enjoyed working with is teachers and education. Educators do an amazing job of looking after our kids by providing them with care, attention, guidance, support, and education. If I ask you who was that teacher who made a difference in your life, that teacher who went the extra mile, made an investment in you - who comes to mind? Teachers are dedicated to their craft and despite research showing educators face an array of challenges in staff shortages, high stress, poor sleep, and more. Our programs are designed to support educators equipped with practical strategies to address the physical and mental demands of their roles. We want to give educators an oxygen mask and teach them to put it on first, before others. Today's episode is a recording of a keynote presentation Andrew recently did for NSW Primary Principals Association (NSW PPA). It is a blend of science, and strategies, addressing the challenges educators and principals face, and a bit of fun in the process. In this episode, Andrew talks about: 8:30 Telling people how your day went, the importance of being ready for change and kids having play as such a big part of their lives. 13:00 Getting your 10,000 steps per day, improving your resting heart rate and living to 100 years old. 16:30 The IOS upgrade, making sure to recover after stress and how to optimise your chronobiology. 21:45 Social contagion theory, pushing everything to be faster, higher, stronger and working micro recovery breaks into your day. 27:10 The 3x3x3 downregulation format, humming to calm yourself and adding some grounding to your day. 31:00 The physiological sigh, using box breathing to calm down and using movement to fire up. 35:05 How Tim Tszyu uses imagery in his boxing career, why optimism is so important and using your reticular activating system to train yourself to be more optimistic. 39:35 Noticing your break up song everywhere you go, the benefits of optimism and the famous optimistic/pessimistic nun study.

| 08 Apr 2022 | #1 Welcome To Performance Intelligence With Andrew May | 00:09:53 | |
Performance Intelligence Podcast - similar format, new name, exciting opportunities. 1. Why the name change? 'Performance Intelligence’ provides a broader umbrella to explore and house content specific to ‘all things human performance.’ This aligns with my evolution as a mental skills coach to some of the world’s leading athletes, business leaders and entrepreneurs. And Performance Intelligence is the name of the new book Dr Tom Buckley and I are releasing in late 2023.
2. What is Performance Intelligence? "Performance Intelligence is the ability to recognise how physical, psychological and emotional states affect work and life, and adapting environments to optimise performance." We have been evolving this concept for close to two decades, working with a range of high performers in multiple domains (sport, entertainment, the performing arts, academia, and the military) and Dr Tom added his medical and evidence-based lense. You’ve heard of Intelligence Quotient (IQ), and Emotional Intelligence (EQ), we believe Performance Intelligence (PQ) is the third iteration. Performance Intelligence applies to the way we turn up in relationships and the way we turn up at work. It applies to the way we perform in front of 10,000 people and the way we perform in front of one. Performance Intelligence is a skill you can develop with the right training and the right mindset.
3. What does the new format look like? Episodes are positioned into 3 broad categories, including: a. High Performer Series: exploring the habits, tactics and strategies that have led to success for some of the world’s leading performers… b. The Science Of: drilling down into the science of a specific performance-related construct, with leading domain experts… c. Performer Spotlight: chatting with an individual client, a leader, or showcasing a team we have worked with and how they developed/applied Performance Intelligence… The operating rhythm of this podcast reflects the way we work at StriveStronger and andrewmay.com with 40 new episodes a year, aligned with the 10 weeks of each school semester (what we call the In Season) and during the holidays (the Off Season), we publish a Bite Size interviews, which are the ‘best bits’ from previous episodes.
