The Universal Man

G'day legends!  It appears that you can get just about anything now in a minute.

So what is the 1440 prinicple?  The 1440 priniciple is a concept developed by Kevin Cruze (distinguished author and motivational speaker). 1440 is not'20 to three' in the afternoon, it actually re...

Universal Man Framework Part 1 - UNIQUENESS: Full show notes here: https://www.universalman.org/uman-framework-uniqueness/ Uniqueness is at the very core of being a Universal Man because it gives you this solid foundation for understanding your behaviour, your reactions, your desires, your goals.  And without understanding those key things, it's very, very hard to operate in the real world. You'll...

https://www.universalman.org/living-on-the-edge/ At the start of the movie Dead Poet's Society Mr. Keating says, " Carpe Diem, lads. Seize the day, make your lives extraordinary."  The scene is set in front of photos of men who died in the First World War, and he's saying to them,  "Don't be boring. Don't just waste your life, make your life extraordinary. Live on the edge. " But the truth is in l...

Full Show Notes Here: https://www.universalman.org/determining-your-core-values/ In this episode we cover determining your core values. What's deepest in you? What really is at your essence of who you are. It's the things in the world that for whatever reason, mean the most to you and who you are. Core values are like a personal compass point. You know, you're wandering through life and your value...

https://www.universalman.org/getting-and-staying-motivated/ This is about not just getting out of bed in the morning and having energy for life. This is about when you've got something important to be done. Staying motivated to get it done when it gets hard, when it gets frustrating, when there's other things, competing priorities, when you just don't have the energy to get up and do it or do it a...

www.universalman.org  for show notes and events.  Framing shapes the way we look at life's events both past and upcoming. It's our perspective on what it means for us and others and shapes so much of our experience in life. Most of the time we're not even aware that it's the labels that come with framing that limit us or give us freedom.

This is an extra special podcast today in honour of one of our fallen brothers. Ben, father of two, loving husband and best mate to Jimmy tragically took his own life a year ago. It was completely out of the blue. This horrible tragedy inspired us to present a podcast on just how you have a deeper conversation with your mates. This is about those times when you just want to dig a little bit deeper...

FULL NOTES: https://www.universalman.org/loneliness-kills-hope/ How often do you come across a man who has lost that spark, lost that sense of life, they've lost that kind of bounce? Many people are stuck, and there's a sense of, "I'm not going to cope, I cannot cope, I'm going to run away". And there's a real sense of being on their own.

https://www.universalman.org/self-coaching-frees-the-spirit/ Self-Coaching Frees the Spirit August 15, 2019 You need to do THIS on your own There are times in life when you shouldn't and can't go to some sort of a guru, counsellor, professional, and supervisor to help with a problem. Sometimes you have just got to trust your own wisdom, but to do it in a really deliberate way. So our topic is self...

https://www.universalman.org/ the-roles-that-define-you/   A man's life is defined by all the different formal and informal roles that we take on every single day.  Husband, father, partner, work colleague, even a certain role you play with your mates. In the Renaissance Man context, they always spoke about the ability to be the right kind of Universal Man in all the different contexts or differen...

For full summary: https://www.universalman.org/conflict-is-the-path-to-freedom/ If there is one thing that so many of us dislike and avoid – it is conflict. It's not an easy thing, because the emotions that get dragged up are often raw. You sit there stirring away or you can't sleep at night because you're playing a discussion over and over in your head from 50 different angles. Just as you get cl...

https://www.universalman.org/comparison-is-the-thief-of-joy/ In this episode we break open the topic of comparison; when one's puts so much energy into comparing self to things like others, celebrities etc. We want to begin with a quote by Teddy Roosevelt where he said,  "Comparison is the thief of joy! "  We believe that to be so very true. What Roosevelt is saying is that joy comes when you are...

www.universalman.org/podcast This week our topic is balance in busy times. So often within our lives we are out of balance. There's a sense you're just going around, you're spinning and on a treadmill. We know all these sound like things we hear all the time. You feel a sense, I've got no particular power here, and I'm just rushing, rushing, rushing, go, go, go. I'm out of balance.

One of Greg and Pricey's favourite books is 'Legacy' – the story behind the huge success of the All Blacks, their team culture and influence within New Zealand society. One of the key elements in that book is the concept of 'giving something back' – of leaving the team and the team culture better and stronger once you have moved on. This week's podcast is about volunteering – about legacy and maki...

Courage - what is it? Courage is a topic Pricey has been avoiding talking about on Universal Man. If you had said to Pricey as a young gun - has he got any courage - he would have said no! Because as a young man he would have been rating himself on whether he had the courage to tackle someone on the footy field or the courage to swim a mile or two or three. Pricey saw courage as a young man as pur...

Pain has many faces. But like so many things that we talk about in Universal Man,  it can be one of life's greatest teachers.  Let's try to understand pain and some of its faces. The masochist is the one who just loves pain almost as an end in itself. That is not the approach we want to take here. Pain, in itself, has no intrinsic value. Instead it is an indicator that you are at a doorway to grow...

In this episode of Universal Man we look at music and the role it plays in our lives and the invitation we all share to make music, to harness of the power of music to make something unique and special from within ourselves that will add beauty to our world.   "Don't die with the music in you!" Dr Wayne Dyer Music the energy of our spirit Imagine a world without music! Music in all its forms; your...
