Better Than Yesterday: Osher Günsberg

Reflecting on Jelena Dokic’s episode, in this episode Osher explores the relationship between resilience and vulnerability. Vulnerability without resilience is dangerous. If you’re vulnerable without the strength to cope, you’re wide open to calamity. Like being immunocompromised next to someone coughing—you’re incredibly susceptible to harm. On the flip side, if you’re resilient without being vulnerable, your relationships, creativity, and ability to connect with others suffer. Vulnerability shows how susceptible you are to danger or stress, while resilience is your ability to recover from it. The good news is, resilience is something we can build and develop, and in this episode, Osher offer up a few key ways to develop that skill.

But behind the scenes, a lot more was going on.There were clues, but the media and society at the time made a joke of them.Jelena Dokic has revealed her truth in her new book ‘Fearless’. Jelena is honest, open and has begun a conversation that will help all of us to break stigmas, own our stories and keep going.

After Linda Marigliano’s episode on Wednesday, Osher was on a mission to recapture that wonderful feeling of a first kiss. Using something his shrink taught him years ago, Osher explains how to increase the release of the ‘love hormone’ oxytocin when kissing to the point you’ll be singing that song “feels like the first time”.

Everyone has a story about how we were affected by the Covid Pandemic. In this episode, Osher speaks with broadcaster and DJ Linda Marigliano about being stuck in Australia, away from the man she fell in love with and not knowing if they’d ever make it. This all happened while she grappled not only her own fertility journey, but working around a life-long tendency to be a people pleaser. Linda’s has a new book “Love language” and an award-winning documentary podcast “tough love”.

We generally avoid thinking about losing the things we love, but what if deliberately doing so made us love and appreciate those things even more? In this episode, Osher explores the idea of “The Last Time” (*not the Farnham farewell tour). With its roots in ancient Stoic practice, “The Last Time” only takes a few breaths to do yet can have a profound effect on the presence and meaning we feel in our day. It even makes Osher’s wife say “why are you being so weird?” when he sees her again after doing this, which he finds incredibly amusing. ‌ ‌ For every episode ever, to get on the mailing list or to get in touch, go to Better Than Yesterday: Osher Günsberg If you want to you can drop G a DM here Watch full guest episodes on YouTube here

This week, Osher lost two jobs in one day when news broke that The Bachelor Australia and The Masked Singer Australia aren’t being renewed by the network. What’s hilarious is that it’s not the first time this has happened to him, and in today’s episode he talks about the work he did around this news going public to ensure a stable transition of not only income but also mental health. If you’ve ever lost a job, or you’ve never thought about what would happen if you lost your current job, this episode offers some powerful insights and tools that may be of help.

Even if you don’t care about cars, you can’t deny the massive global success of Mighty Car Mods. With nearly 4M subscribers and over 1 Billion views on YouTube, Marty & Moog have been representing the culture of vehicle modification for over 16 years - and they’re only getting bigger. You don’t care about cars? Then what if I told you that Moog’s actual name is Blair, and Blair is a prolifically talented multi-instrumentalist and composer who has created the soundtracks to hundreds, even thousands of commercials that you could probably whistle if I mentioned one. The Maccas jingle? If you heard it in Australia, Blair played it. Same guy. Not only that Blair is one of the hosts of Top Gear Australia, and alongside JLP and Beau Ryan they are taking this legendary show that was never really about cars and turning it on its head.After speaking with Blair, Osher described him as one of the great ones. A true inspiration who’s been through some darkness and come out the other side. ‌ Every episode ever and mailing list signup -> oshergunsberg.com
