• Heston Russell: Former Special Forces Commando on Leadership, Identity & Finding Purpose Again

  This week I sit down with someone whose life has been defined by service, sacrifice, and an unshakeable sense of responsibility - former Special Forces Major, Heston Russell.In this conversation, we go far beyond the uniform.We talk about the realities of war, the loss and trauma that stays with you long after you return home, and the moment overseas that changed Heston forever. We dive into leadership and character, what it really means to carry the weight of other people’s lives, and how identity can be built - and broken - through service.Heston opens up about the battles no one sees, the scrutiny and pressure that came with the ABC lawsuit, and the challenge of rebuilding purpose once the military chapter ends. We explore mental health, healing, and finding a way back to yourself when the world gets loud.This isn’t just a conversation about the military - it’s a conversation about being human. About loss, responsibility, courage, and the work it takes to truly know who you are outside of the roles you’ve lived in.It was a genuine honour to sit across from Heston. His honesty, his integrity, and his willingness to go there make this one of the most powerful episodes I’ve ever recorded.This episode is brought to you by True Protein.

• Aaron Crook: Inside the Mind of the 6633 Arctic Ultra Winner

  What drives someone to run 620 kilometres through the Arctic — where the air burns your lungs, sleep is a luxury and the silence forces you to meet yourself? Aaron Crook is the winner of the 6633 Arctic Ultra, one of the toughest endurance races on Earth. But this conversation isn’t about medals or records - it’s about the mindset, pain and purpose behind it all. We spoke about what the Arctic stripped away, how he learned to master his mind when his body wanted to quit and the deeper reasons why he runs - beyond competition, beyond ego, beyond the finish line. This is a story about resilience, self-discovery, and what it really means to go to the edge and come back stronger.This episode is brought to you by True Protein.

• Why Connection to Self, Others & Nature Changes Everything with Tim Jack Adams

  What if energy - not time - was your most valuable resource?This week on Mind Your Head, I’m joined by Tim Jack Adams, founder of GreenX7 and author of Energised: The Daily Practice of Connected Leadership and Sustainable Wellbeing. Tim’s work is built on one powerful idea: our ability to lead, connect, and thrive comes down to how we manage and renew our energy. We dive into the science of energy, the role of nature as a healer, and why Australians desperately need to rediscover the importance of play and fun. Tim unpacks his eight pillars of sustainable wellbeing, shares what “connected leadership” looks like in practice, and reflects on how we can build healthier relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us. This conversation isn’t just about leadership or business - it’s about how we show up as humans.This episode is brought to you by True Protein.
