Rewriting the Diagnosis: Mel Abbott on Healing Chronic Illness with NLP (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Sam sits down with fellow ANZCAL Trainer Master Coach Mel Abbott, founder of Empower Therapies, for a raw and generous conversation about healing. At 18, a severe head injury derailed Mel's life entirely, leading to 11 years of illness that was eventually diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - and dismissed by doctors as something she would live with forever.

The Neuroscience of Flow, Clutch, and Getting It Done Under Pressure with Nikhil Rughani (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I sit down with Nikhil - a teacher, healer, and self-described mad scientist who was raised in a culture that never separated science from spirituality, and it shows in how he thinks about performance. We go deep into flow, but we also explore its lesser-known counterpart: the clutch state, where you perform your best despite pressure rather than by floating into the zone. Along the way, we get into the neurochemistry behind flow, why leaders need to protect their decision-makin
