This podcast is my attempt to push back against what I call 'The Domestication of Our Species'. Over the years I've become increasingly convinced that we [humans] have in recent decades become 'Bred to Consume'. The podcast is called, "Off The Lead" and it's main purpose is to have and spread open and frank conversations with different people from all walks of life. Please feel free to comment [publicly or privately] with thoughts/recommendations etc to imoffthelead@gmail.com Thanks for listening, Frano. Hosted on Acast.

Solo Season2 Ep#32 22.11.2020

Number 32, a number that just seems to keep appearing for me. I outline a few examples of such and also get into some of my plans for the future.

Solo Season2 Ep#31 21.11.2020

Here's one for you, I'm all about collaborating with people, love that shit. And the start of this episode is part of a collaboration I have with my little baby brother and past guest and friend of the show Pat Mc Keown - https://www.youtube.com/c/PatsPsychologyMScI also mention that I haven't made a plan as such regarding my training but that hasn't stopped my progression. As always you'll get me...

Solo Season2 Ep#30 20.11.2020

The importance of religion, historically. And also how when someone asks, "where are you really from?" (Aka why are you brown?) that they're not being racist, just inquisitive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Solo Season2 Ep#29 19.11.2020

I had only finished uploading the last episode about fannying around when I caught myself about to click on a bulshit video about tattoo artists. It's mad how awareness isn't enough, we need awareness in the moment. I also go over the basics of weighing yourself and explain how you're most likely doing it arseways. As always you'll get me on imoffthelead@gmail.com or any of Off The Leads social me...

Solo Season2 Ep#28 18.11.2020

"Fannying around" isn't something I do a lot of, but it certainly is something that I do and today I try and adress the negative consequences of it. I also quote past guest and friend of the show, Padraig Reilly when he said, "our minds are over fed and under nourished".

Solo Season2 Ep#27 17.11.2020

This time I get into the clash between our egos and our unconscious minds. I may be wierd for doing these podcasts but you're wierder for listening. I enjoyed this one because of the much slower pace, let me know what you think. As always you'll get me on imoffthelead@gmail.com or any of Off The Leads social media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Solo Season2 Ep#26 16.11.2020

Today's is short and sweet lads. Battery was about to die and I'm fit for bed. I haven't had one done in advance in a few days and it mounts the pressure big time. Isn't it mad how we repeatedly do things that aren't in our best interest, for no other reason than we're dopes .The first step in solving a problem and all that jazz! Hosted on Acast.

Solo Season2Ep #24 14.11.2020

You'd want to check out my search history lads, seriously! Today I talk about Vaginas and Penese (plural of penis is pronounced pee-nays, and now you know).I also slap myself upside the head and tell myself to stop being so vague and to come up with an actionable plan as to how I'm going to achieve what I'm saying I'm going to do. As always you'll get me on imoffthelead@gmail.com or any of Off The...

Solo Season2 Ep#23 13.11.2020

The accompanying picture is of a book I made/wrote in an effort to organise my thoughts. What it has essentially turned into is;- A 10.5hr audio book.- A 4-500 page book.- A 42 episode podcast series- A 1.5 hr documentary - A 42 episode mini series documentary All of which demonstrates the utility in organising our minds and turning our data into information. As always you'll get me on imoffthelea...

Solo Season 2 Ep#22 12.11.2020

I have a great life. I've a hot, sound wife who just happens to not only be a great wife but an even better mother. I've a thriving business (of sorts due to a certain poxy virus), a great network of friends and family etc etc. But I have my off days just like everyone else. This episode is essentially about it being ok to have a bad day, week, month, but that anything past that needs attention, a...

Solo Season2 Ep#21 11.11.2020

Link to video...watch this before continuing with further episodes.https://youtu.be/QVsdhgBEtc4or...https://www.instagram.com/tv/CHUnHw6B7fx/?igshid=r9x4qh3udhs0So. Today I expand on a few things that point to there being more to our past than we're led to believe. I also mention the incredible reliability of, "the wisdom of the crowd" and what's wrong with the mercator projection (check out https...

Solo Season2 Ep#20 10.11.2020

Today I take a bit of a breather and check in with myself/us and try to get a better understanding of what I'm doing and why. I also manage to squeeze in the difference I see between knowing something and getting it. I can't get enough feedback lads so thoughts, complaints, suggestions etc to imoffthelead@gmail.com or to any of my social media pages.https://www.instagram.com/offtheleadofficial/htt...

Solo Season2 Ep#19 09.11.2020

I did Jesus an episode or 2 ago and today it's Noahs turn. Looks like he wasn't the only one building a big boat! This episode looks at even more similarities between our ancient civilisations but this time I try and explain why (as best I can) which leads further into the importance of understanding our most ancient past. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Solo Season2 Ep#18 08.11.2020

Today I do something completely different, today's episode/s is in video form and can be found on YouTube. Subscribe while you're there, you pricks.https://youtu.be/QVsdhgBEtc4Let me know what you think of the format. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Solo Season2 Ep#17 07.11.2020

Jesus. Some boy. Today I try and explain why on gods earth I am talking about ancient civilisations. I try and convey the idea that without understanding our ancient past, our beginning, that there's no way of understanding either our more recent past, our present or indeed our future. Me that loves my little sayings, "those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it". These civilisa...

Solo Season2 Ep#16 06.11.2020

I have it in my head to do an episode on each of the ancient civilisations I've been mentioning but before I do there's a few things I need to get out of my head and another few things that are worth expanding on slightly. As always you'll get me on imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Solo Season2 Ep#15 05.11.2020

Today I outline the main areas we first settled in once we figured out farming. Namely, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indus River Valley and Yellow River Valley civilizations and of course throw Gobekli Tepi in at the end as the ultimate spanner in the works. I'm thinking of picking each one and referencing what about each one your probably familiar with, for example, most people know that the great pyramid...

Solo Season2 Ep#14 04.11.2020

Instead of covering the migration of another animal, I made an analogy with our historic migration and the 'spread' of rabbits throughout Australia. Hopefully this is starting to come together, I feel like there's more of a narrative now that I'm essentially telling a story which is helping me structure this season. Let me know what you think on imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.co...

Solo Season2 Ep#13 Live From The Tent. 03.11.2020

Coming to you LIVE from the tent. This is presumably the first time anyone has recorded a podcast about human history in a tent in this field. What can I say I'm a crusader. I give the idea of making a documentary a bit of daylight. I've spoken before about being careful who you share your plans with but I think that if your listening to this then you could only want that to happen (it really matt...

Solo Season2 Ep#12 02.11.2020

Having tried to start the history of cannabis episode and also our ancient civilisations episodes, I ran into the same problem, where to start? So, what I've done today is jump back to the start of our species (if you want to go back further check out Ep#41of? - all the way back to the big bang).Be sound and get involved, you'll get me on imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/priva...

Solo Season2 Ep#11 01.11.2020

In this episode I give something that's been percolating in my brain for a few years some space - a fundamentally important part to enacting any plan! I also mention the idea of putting a stalk on a flock of geese. If you're enjoying these mental explorations of mine let me know at imoffthelead@gmail.com.

Solo Season2 Ep#10 31.10.2020

You know I love a good analogy! Today I try and explain to myself how sales is more, "The art of memory retention" as opposed to, "the science of persuasion". And how analogys are key to helping people learn. I also somehow manage to explain why you won't hear the bullet that kills you and how far away you'd have to be to see the meteor impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. If your enjoying these s...

Solo Season2 Ep#9 30.10.2020

Listening to an old recording I made, reminded me that if I can't be myself in front of my wife, how will I ever be able to be myself. More to the point, if I can't be accepting of who and what I am, how can I be 'myself' full stop. I also make an announcement of sorts. Nothing major, I've just committed to doing something that I've been itching to for years and am only now getting out of my own w...
