Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to episode 46 of Collective Wisdom, which I'm very happy to say I'm recording from sunny Singapore. And it's been such a treat to reconnect with friends, many of whom I haven't seen for almost two years now. Health and well-being are definitely front of mind again this week, as news emerged of the new Omnicon variant of COVID-19 virus. It's still very unclear at this point, just what an impact it will have. But a reminder to us all that when our health is threatened, everything else becomes secondary. This is something that my guest today, Ian Barry, has had to deal with for most of his adult life, as he was diagnosed with melanoma when he was in his early 20s. He was told by his surgeon at the time that his capacity to survive the threat that it posed, would largely be affected by his attitude. And that adopting an attitude of gratitude would go a long way to help as he is now in his late 60s, I think we can safely say it's had the desired effect so far. Sometimes it just pays to be playful, give compliments to yourself and to others, and to find something to be grateful for even when the chips are down. For me today, I'm simply grateful to have met Ian and had the pleasure of his company for this episode. And if after listening to him, I’m sure you will feel the same way.
