  • Relinquishing Control (aka a mental health plan to deal with the last half of 2024)

    19:52
    If you’re already at saturation with how tumultuous it’s been since the assasination attempt on Donald Trump, and you’re already overwhelmed even though we’re still 4 months away from a US election, and then there’s our own election right around the corner - you’re not alone. In the interests of being able to cope for the next while, on this episode Osher has a bit of a mental health plan for keeping our heads level. And it’s got to do with control. During this conversation Osher mentions Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. ‌ To get on the newsletter, find the link at oshergunsberg.com
  • Raising boys into respectful men (w/ Abby Coleman)

    59:22
    Abby is the Abby in Stav, Matt and Abby on B105 in Brisbane. She’s a brilliant radio announcer, mum of three boys and the woman who married Osher and Audrey. This conversation is one Osher has been wanting to have for a long time, mostly because it debriefs a few things about that radio job in a way that hasn't been spoken about before. Osher and Abby also cover the importance of sleep and mindset about sleep, the impact of framing situations and how eliminating one word from your vocabulary can change everything, and then we get really deep. Abby talks very openly about her experiences with eating disorders, how she navigates gender dynamics in the radio workplace, and her work with Small Steps for Hannah, which is a foundation set up to prevent domestic violence. ‌ Eating Disorder Support: Butterfly Foundation: 1800 33 4673 Sexual assault support services: 1800 Respect national helpline: 1800 737 732 Sexual Assault Counselling Australia: 1800 385 578 Bravehearts (support for child sexual abuse survivors): 1800 272 831 Lifeline (24-hour Crisis Line): 131 114 Victims of Crime Helpline: 1800 819 817
  • When being on time makes you 20 minutes late (and four more bits of wisdom from the 101 Rules of Show Business)

    16:32
    In this episode Osher explores rules 14-19 of his 101 RULES OF SHOW BUSINESS, including this cracker he learned from Dan Machpherson: Rule Number 16: If you arrive at your call time, you’re 20min late. The time on your call sheet isn’t the time you’re pulling into the carpark. It’s not the time you’re making a cuppa in the kitchen. It’s the time you’re ready to go. Get there 20 mins early to do all that other stuff, because working in entertainment is a dance between hundreds of people trying to coordinate perfectly - and you need to be where you’re told to be exactly when you’re told to be there so that everyone else can do their job too.

  • The true meaning of courage and facing the brutal cost of war, plus some solid SurvivorAU stories (w/ Mark Wales)

    01:01:36
    When it comes to foreign policy, sometimes a credible military consequence is required to ensure that diplomacy can work. Keeping peace between nations is vital, however sometimes the decision to move to violence is made by someone else - and then a government has few options on the table. But what happens when our government’s decision to send our military into a war zone under the auspices of protecting our country no longer serves us? Today Osher speaks with Mark Wales, a former SAS commander who’s probably going to surprise you with his views on national security. Mark joined the army at 17 and eventually made ten deployments, including Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands, Iraq, Afghanistan, Fiji and Lebanon. This conversation dives deep on sleep, mental health, gun violence, trauma, parenting, and life in the military. And don’t worry. Osher absolutely asked him about winning Survivor. Mark is not only a fascinating man whose geopolitical knowledge is super-sharp, he’s a fabulous author. He’s penned a best-selling autobiography “Survivor”, and his latest book “Outrider” is a dystopian sci-fi novel set in the woody forests of Victoria. ‌ If you like this episode be sure to check out Osher’s chat with former SEAL team sniper Brandon Tyler Webb, a cracking conversation with fellow Brisbanian Paul De Gelder and for the other side of things, legendary war correspondent Michael Ware. ‌ Every episode ever is available at oshergunsberg.com, where you can also leave Osher a message (even a voice mail)
