Description
Jonny's guest today is a 52 time Springbok international - Joe van Niekerk. Having served as a professional adversary to Jonny for many years, Joe has become an immense team mate and friend to Jonny. And in this interview, their mutual respect and trust really shows. In this podcast Jonny and Joe cover all the "real stuff" post their rugby careers, exploring what did and didn't worked for them in those rugby days, what they now see as important, as well as the more conscious understanding they now both possess for the roles they played in it all. Expect some fascinating locker room chat in here as Joe happily gives away the secret to his legendary captain team talks and offers his take on why they end up feeling isolated at points. Jonny's solo episode this week digs a little further into some of the core themes of the episode, so give it a listen if you're interested in taking things a littles deeper.

I Am... Rangan Chatterjee: In this week's episode Jonny chats to Rangan Chatterjee, a man who's approach to life is based on integrity, compassion and curiosity. These values can be seen across all of Rangan's work, as a podcaster, best selling author and practicing doctor. This conversation centres around compassion and regaining the ability in our lives to simply 'be'. Jonny and Rangan go into depth on a range of topics including re-defining the metrics of contemporary health, training in healthcare, and investigating our reliance upon labels for understanding who we are. Jonny and Rangan also discuss the benefits of becoming more interested in our ‘being’ than in our ‘doing’ - and how being more consciously aware of how we are feeling has the potential unlock so much pleasure and joy.
