If you’ve been in our world for a hot minute, you’ll have heard us talk about the mental run up.
The mental run up is made up of automatic thought patterns in response to an upcoming situation. Some we’re not aware of, and some are easy to brush off as “I’m an overthinker.” But they can be a drain, pulling you further away from the task at hand.
They’re often happening behind the scenes without us even realising it, derailing our energy.
The mental run up falls between the moment you’ve made the decision to do something challenging and when you actually do it.
This is what we talked about with Co-Australian of the Year, Dr Richard “Harry” Harris on our Leading Generous Teams podcast this week.
Richard has worked in anaesthesia, diving and aeromedical medicine around the world.
Harry has a professional and voluntary interest in search and rescue operations,
establishing the first flooded cave rescue capability in Australasia. The 2018
Thailand cave rescue was an opportunity to put this training to work.
In 2018 he received the Star of Courage, Australia’s second highest civilian award
for bravery, and the medal of the Order of Australia for his role in the Thailand cave
rescue. Harry was the joint 2019 Australian of the Year with his dive partner Craig
Challen. He is now primarily working as a speaker, author and film maker.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Richard’s mental run up leading up to the Thai Cave Rescue.
- What Richard does to fuel his mindset during uncertain times.
- Insights into techniques for resetting + recharging in life and leadership

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
