My guest this week is Al Jeffery – psychotherapist, meditation guide, group facilitator, writer, and Co-Founder of Turning Ground.
Al is a regenerative practitioner working at the intersection of inner and outer transformation. In a world that is hyperconnected yet deeply fragmented, he is dedicated to restoring connection - within ourselves, our communities, and the systems we live and lead in.
As Director at Turning Ground, Al designs and facilitates spaces for reconnection, weaving together psychotherapy, group process, and leadership development to cultivate belonging, purpose, and systemic change.
With a creative career that began at age 12, Al has twice been named one of Australia’s Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 and was a nominee for Young Australian of the Year. He serves on the Advisory Councils for Meditation Australia and Synthesis Institute, and in 2022, was awarded the IKON Institute’s National Award for Clinical and Academic Excellence.
In this episode, we explore Al’s journey from youth entrepreneurship to regenerative leadership, the vital role of inner work in social impact, and why belonging might just be the most radical form of leadership today.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
