In episode 95, I speak with speaker, author and wellness guru, John Toomey. It was around 40 years ago I met John for the first time. I was a fresh-faced and wide-eyed kid with aspirations of playing professional Australian football, and John was my fitness and conditioning coach just out of Uni. Since that time John Toomey has gone on to become one of Australia’s most sought-after speakers on a variety of Human Wellbeing subjects. He is widely respected right across the world for his speaking, writing and guidance on workplace wellness and leadership issues. With all of his knowledge, experience and perspective, John is adamant that bringing back virtue is the key to helping people live their best lives. This is an inspiring and paradigm-shifting conversation you do not want to miss.

Originally from the Central Darling Downs in Queensland, John now lives in Melbourne, Australia. He speaks with incredible presence and connection and a deep passion for the betterment of life for all living things.
John and I go back many decades to the St Kilda Football Club in the early 1980's where I was an aspiring young footballer, striving to make it at the highest level, and John was a conditioning coach, just out of Uni. Wow, has he gone on to do great things since then. He spent a lot of time learning from the best, and curiously and creatively finding ways to help people live happy and healthy lives. His focus on fatigue prevention, resilience and mental health has taken him all around the world to impact many lives.
When I asked John, with his wealth of experience and abundant knowledge in the wellbeing space, what he considered most important, what he said surprised and delighted me. He said, that we need to bring back virtue. This is a conversation about kindness, giving and being the best humans we can be, and the result is that we will be happy, healthier and more prosperous in our own lives. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.
