My brother Paul is fresh off competing in the green and gold, lifting stacks of weight and winning a world championship in powerlifting. You might remember him from a previous episode - heaps, so I thought it was an opportune time to talk about his recent achievement in lifting stacks.
We talk about the different ways we can use the word stack or stacks and related terms.
We also talk about his professional role in the health and safety industry and his previous role as a safety inspector for worksafe. I wanted to have him on my show for this reason, to give advice to any workers in Australia struggling to have difficult conversations about safety in the workplace. There are strategies for you in this episode if you are one of those people.
Paul also shares his experience with a shoulder injury that required him to reassess his goals, leading to a more realistic approach to competing in the world championships, and how this approach is applicable to learning.
I hope you enjoy this fun and practical episode!
