The pressure to work more, constantly comparing yourself to other people, the endless list of self-improvement 'shoulds', and even full blown mental health struggles - what do we do when the biggest obstacles are the ones inside our own heads? 

Comedian Chris Ryan might not have every answer, but in this chat with Osher, she certainly has a way of illuminating the problems.

Have you ever wanted more clarity around how your brain works?
Often, it can be knowledge that can mean the difference between having the perspective and tools to make changes in your life, or not.

There are countless books on the subject, but here, Osher details 7 that have been instrumental to his own life, that have helped his own clarity on the inner workings of our minds - in other words, the books he thinks about (and rec...

When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years.

Instead, he wrote the book he wished he had during times when his mental health wasn’t doing well. It’s the kind of book one grabs when they’ve tried everything else but still feel stuck, or they’re trying to understand ho...

When you look at Australian politics, you’ll know that preference deals play a big role in who eventually ends up in power.

But preferences can put you in a powerful position too. 

In this episode Osher talks about how you can make a preference deal with yourself to win a better day today - particularly if you're feeling terrible about something that 'should' have happened or something you 'could' have done...

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear.

But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'.

Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of ...

Osher talks about what it’s like to host the Real Housewives Of Sydney Reunion. The short version is: it’s intense.

How intense? Well, arguably one of the most emotional gigs of his TV career, leading to one of the most fascinating physical reactions he’s ever had from doing his job.

Something happened on the other side of that election result which I would really love to talk about.
Something which we’ve I’ve noticed missing among all the forensic dissection of how the libs lost this or the greens lost that.
There’s a massive, glaring fact which I haven’t seen discussed yet, so I thought I’d put it out there.
It’s got to do with what we’re being told we are vs...

Sometimes it can feel like everything is out of our control - that things happen to us rather than for us or with us. But what if instead of fearing change, we could know that we were ready for it, and that we could harness it deliberately to steer us toward the life we want?

This is exactly what this chat between Osher and Andrea Clarke will help you do.

There’s two kinds of people when it comes to holidays.
Those who are more than happy to spend two straight weeks napping by the pool, and those who struggle with suddenly not having something to do.

Osher is most definitely in the latter cohort.

This episode was recorded live at SXSW 2024 - and it might be a very different example of what a politician sounds like from what you've been hearing recently.
