Risking Failure#82 – The Stories We Tell OurselvesIt’s been a while. We know. We are still at it. We still love you. This episode was an interesting one. Is what you want, need, love, strive for, avoid, pursue, resent really just a made up story?2020-11-131h 05
Risking Failure#81 – DrudgeryWe’re back again for the second week in a row!! Hopefully this doesn’t feel like “Drudgery”… oh, no wait – that’s this weeks topic! Enjoy!2020-11-131h 09
Risking Failure#80 – ObsessionWe’re back after a long break. We recorded this topic on “obsession” a while back, but we’ve both been so swamped that it’s embarrassingly even longer between recording and editing/launching. Thanks to all our wonderful Risking Failure listeners! We LOVE YOU!!!!2020-11-1351 min
Risking Failure#79 – Bridging Strategies – When you’re stuckWe talk about how when we get stuck on a problem or stage in life, how challenging it seems to be to see all the options. It’s like we’re blind to most of the outcomes and options available… Dobbo shares some interesting stories and observations about “bridging strategies” and how he’s seen some folks recently […]2020-11-1358 min
Risking Failure#78 – Outsourcing stuff you hate doingThanks for hanging in there waiting for the next episode! In this topic, we discussed outsourcing and the idea of hiring someone to do the stuff you hate doing if you’ve got the budget to pull it off. Laundry, folding clothes, doing lawns, data entry, taxes etc. If it brings you joy to get rid […]2020-11-1352 min
Risking Failure#77 – 2016: It’s a WrapThe end of 2016… Another year over, and thanks for being a part of the project. Not a big year of recording. But that’s what happens when you get married, start new companies and all sorts of other craziness. Enjoy this wrap-up of 2016, reflections on what was, what could have been and should have […]2020-11-131h 28
Risking Failure#76 – Voting On HappinessNOTE: What’s interesting to consider in this episode is that it’s recorded in 2016 when Donald Trump was first elected. NOT in 2020 after election day… What an exhausting election season in the USA… and what an outcome! This week as much as we tried to avoid politics (and we largely kind of did), we […]2020-11-131h 23
Risking Failure#75 – Living Clearer, Living Louder, Living MoreThis week we took a deep dive into an upcoming FREE event that Dobbo is launching on November 26th in Melbourne called “LIVE MORE”.

Risking Failure#74 – Changing Minds & How People Avoid ItOur discussion this week is based on three recent observations:* People rarely change their mind on something significant (religion, football teams, politics etc.)* Freedom of mind is proportional to how invested you are in an idea.* What if everything you thought you were right about was wrong?2020-11-131h 18
Risking Failure#73 – Removing Our Sense of TimeWhat would happen if you were living in a place where there’s no real need or sense of actual minute-by-minute time? What if you couldn’t tell if it’s 11am or 1pm? If you threw away your watch while living in a deserted location – what might happen? That was our discussion this week.2020-11-131h 10
Risking Failure#72 – Just More Floss-ophy”Do you ever notice how when you go to the dentist, it always seems to come down to “flossing”. And how every dentist, doctor, business advisor, teacher, designer, or leader in some other area of life has their version of “flossing”…Dobbo shares how a recent idea of “flossophy” has developed for him on the home front, […]2020-11-1322 min
Risking Failure#71 – Demoralizing ResultsIn this episode we talk about those demoralizing times when you think you’re doing awesome, great, things are “shaping’ up” and THEN all of a sudden while in the middle of some menial task (such as letting the dog outside), you realize – “Wait a minute… am I REALLY doing as good as I think […]2020-11-1355 min
Risking Failure#70 – 10 Uncommon Laws of LifeCONGRATULATION TO DOBBO & BRONAGH!!! – Married!!This week (on the back of an epic 4 weeks of no recording, 100% focused on marriage!), we discussed a very interesting interview hosted on another podcast/radio show from ABC Australia called “Conversations with Richard Feidler”.

Hundreds and thousands of kids, thousands of discussions learning from and observing teaching approaches and generally working within the boundaries of the […]2020-11-131h 08
Risking Failure#68 – Partial Attention & Decision FatigueIs it even possible to genuinely focus on more than one thing at a time? We heard someone (unusually high IQ) talking about being able to work on multiple things at one time and be completely engaged in them, which raised the question of whether that’s really even possible. And if we could have this […]2020-11-131h 02

Risking Failure#67 – Writing, Tidying & What Brings JoyLooking back to 2015 – It’s hard to believe we recorded this given that the “Kondo” method exploded across the world to the point of becoming slightly annoying! But let’s just say we caught on to the craze a lot earlier than when it really hit the tipping point!! Time to think, consider, ponder and […]2016-04-201h 12
Risking Failure#66 – Themes v GoalsIn this episode we re-visit our year end conversation about… well “Year End & Year Beginning”. Rather than talk about goals and things we want to achieve, we’ve soaked into some ideas about what kind of themes we’d like to revisit or come back to and explore this year. The idea is that we’re going […]2016-02-171h 06
Risking Failure#65 – You’re not supposed to talk about that…In this episode, we chatted about a bunch of things that sometimes society considers to be “taboo”. We started in talking about social media and some observations on balancing the life we actually live, and the “online life” that provides feedback on our lived experience in a way that’s not always helpful or even wanted!

In this […]2015-12-231h 19
Risking Failure#63 – Colin Dobson PART 2 – Memories, Sentiment & Stupid New Age Stuff.In part 2 of our conversation with Colin Dobson (Dobbo’s Dad), we dig deep into discussions on memories, sentiment and dive into a bit of “new age bullshit” as we test the boundaries of generation to generation!2015-12-2049 min
Risking Failure#62 – Colin Dobson (Dobbo’s Dad) PART 1 – Marriage, Relationships & Generation GapsSo happy to introduce our amazing guest this week, whom without this podcast would not be possible – literally.

Now listen up – this is a new avenue that we’re starting to play with on the show. It’s kind of like a podcasting book club. Each week, we’ll be […]2015-10-171h 00
Risking Failure#58 – Mental Fitness & MentorsSo the project that we’re working on here at Risking Failure is going to begin to take a very slightly different path. The idea remains the same, but we’re going to try out a slightly new approach that involves you the listener, and knowing about topics a little in advance of each episode… More about […]2015-10-0851 min
Risking Failure#57 – Decision Fatigue; People Pleasing; Great MindsIn this episode, we covered multiple topics. Starting with the issue of Decision Fatigue – specific to food. Mick shared a recent experiment regarding lunch time meals, and how the decision fatigue can be such a crippling issue when it comes to diet in particular. “I can never decide what to eat, so it becomes […]2015-09-141h 08
Risking Failure#56 – Telling the TruthIn this week’s episode we’re joined by our friend and guest Bronagh. Our topic was the subject of telling the truth, and the challenges of telling the truth – and whether it really sets you free. We explored “little white lies” that we all tell, from time to time. “I’ll be there in 10 minutes”, […]2015-08-201h 00
Risking Failure#55 – Marriage & Partnership – The Quest for “The One”This episode ties partly with an episode of the Tim Ferriss show that both of us listened to, and compared notes on afterwards. Here’s a link to that episode if you wish to listen to it first http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/05/20/google-x/ Of all the world views that we carry with us through the world, what we think about […]2015-08-071h 39

Risking Failure#51 – Struggle– How do we develop our capacity to endure struggle?– Is “hope” really a function of struggle?– Does perseverance come from struggle?– What does it mean to endure long term, life changing struggle such as death, sickness, war and loss versus difficult times at work, financial challenges or learning a new skill? Is it all […]2015-04-1455 min

Risking Failure#43 – QuittingHow do you know when you should quit, when you should already have quit and at what point to quit something in the future?

Risking Failure#42: Angst & Experiencing Failure In AdvanceIn this week’s conversation, we explored a topic that quite honestly should have come up a LOT earlier! The angst we carry through almost every moment of our day is not only crippling at times, but can often feel “lame” that we have the feeling in the first place. Could this be an experience that […]2014-12-071h 26
Risking Failure#41 – Stretched Thin: Outsourcing, Consistency & Saying NoIn this week’s show, Dobbo “had a little chat” with Mick about how the fixed and consistent weekly upload pattern has dropped off?

Risking Failure#40 – Relationships #2: Pushing Boundaries & Exploring MeaningIn this episode, we’re so pleased to introduce you to some friends of Dobbo, and new friends of the show Jess & Pete.

Risking Failure#39 – Relationships & The Stories We Tell Ourselves…In this episode Dobbo, Mick & ML talked about the very broad subject of relationships.

Risking Failure#38 – Vulnerability Part 2This week’s show is part 2 of the vulnerability episode we had last week (you can checkout part 1 here). Please hold on, as part 2 is better than part 1 (Just like all the great duo’s and trilogies!!) Of course, we all thought this conversation was a load of bullocks at the time, but […]2014-10-0738 min
Risking Failure#37 – Vulnerability Part 1This episode is a 2 part subject on the topic of vulnerability. ML joined us again to offer a bit more of an even take on this subject… And also because all three of us have done a fair bit of thinking on this subject. Not surprisingly, this topic is largely inspired or drawn from […]2014-10-0148 min
Risking Failure#36 – What are you not doing?Whether it is turning vegan, losing weight, waking up early, meditating, doing more art or just being more productive… We cover that stuff that you know how to do, or want to do – but you don’t. So what are those things that you really like to do but just don’t do it?2014-09-2352 min
Risking Failure#35 – Uncertainty…In this episode, we quite frankly covered a lot of ground. But the wide reaching conversation was generally tied together by the concept of uncertainty. Risk… Yes, but the ongoing uncertainty that we carry into almost every new and ongoing thing we do.2014-09-021h 06
Risking Failure#34 – Launching your F’ing Project!Every week, either before or after we record an episode, it seems we spend a large amount of time talking about the projects we’re working on, sharing notes and giving eachother strategies and ideas for moving forward. This week, we decided to just hit record… If you’re working on something – new business, new product, […]2014-08-271h 23
Risking Failure#33 – Competing vs ComparisonThis week, we talked about competition vs comparison. What’s the difference? When are we competing and when are we comparing? Is one more healthy than the other? What do you think? How do you know if you’re competing or comparing?2014-08-1355 min
Risking Failure#32 – Building Something RealIn a short essay style episode, Dobbo shares some thoughts on how our delusions and conclusions of what we’re ready for, capable of, deserving of – can have a significant impact on our ability to step into greatness.2014-08-0416 min

Perhaps a better question to ask is, “What is going on for this person that makes them appear hostile, threatening, bullying, rude or impatient?” – This week we discussed “Kindness”, and how compassion relates so heavily […]2014-07-241h 02
Risking Failure#30 – Loneliness Part 2This week, we’re SO excited to have our guest and friend Mel on the show to join us and talk about a fairly big topic – “Loneliness”.

The subject of loneliness is perhaps one that is shared by every human being, yet discussed the least. It’s not surprising though. In […]2014-07-0757 min
Risking Failure#28 Give Up or Keep Going?Everyone says “Never Give Up” – but have you ever met someone that just won’t give up on something that seems obviously doomed? When is it time to give up, and when is it time to keep going on projects, relationships, goals, artwork etc? The answers to these questions could save us time… sometimes years […]2014-06-2952 min
Risking Failure#27 Think or Act?(Photo Credit: Flickr User – Karola) How often do you feel guilty that you are thinking about things too much, and just need to get off your #$% and take action? This week we shared some experiences and thoughts on this subject. We explored the overlap of where thinking should turn into action, and moments […]2014-06-2248 min
Risking Failure#26 Progress…It’s hard to not constantly compare ourselves to others, and wonder if we are making enough progress in life. But this obsession is such a stupid one when you stop and think about it. You CAN’T make outstanding progress raising 5 kids at home, while also being on an international speaking circuit for a book […]2014-06-1549 min
Risking Failure#25 Leaps of FaithThis week, Mick does a solo episode in short form to summarize a conversation we had last week on the topic of Leaps of Faith. What foundational beliefs do we carry around that impact our lifestyles and relationships, without having ever stopped to test and see if they are serving us?2014-06-0807 min
Risking Failure#24 Is my life on track?There’s so much pressure to “be” someone, and to “be” that by a certain age or timeframe, and this creates a lot of anxiety and pressure in our lives – and for what reason? That was the subject this week as we discussed the problem that so many of us wrestle with. Have I found […]2014-05-2445 min
Risking Failure#23 – Finding Your Passion #2This week, we went through a live workshop where Mick was the guinea pig following through Dobbo’s questions (from last week) with Dobbo acting as the guide.

Risking Failure#22 – Finding Your Passion#22 Sort Out Your Life by Risking Failure This week, Dobbo ran solo on the show providing you a series of questions and ideas that might help you find your passion… workshop style. So get out your journal, notebook or moleskin and commit to working through these questions. We’ll be discussing them in the next […]2014-05-0920 min
Risking Failure#21 – Public SpeakingIf this image sends chills down your spine, then maybe this latest episode could have some helpful information to help with when you next have to get in front of an audience. This is the first time (it feels like) we’ve done an episode where it was more of a “how to” than just a […]2014-05-0449 min
Risking Failure#20: Reflections on DyingDeath is the one thing we all have in common, and yet it is a subject we talk about (really talk about) so rarely. This week we explored this subject, shared a few experiences and reflected on the ways we deal with our own mortality. SHOW NOTES: During the episode, we referred to two different […]2014-04-2744 min
Risking Failure#19: Fighting AddictionCampbell Butterss talks about overcoming a struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, and how after numerous attempts he conquered it from the “Inside Out”. Today he’s building a brand helping share what he’s learned.2014-04-1955 min
Risking Failure#18: What is a legacy?What is it that really defines a legacy? Is it a body of work, or a story we tell? Are there categories? Seriously… what do we mean when we say “legacy”?? That was the topic this week, and we explored a lot of different ideas around the topic.2014-04-1144 min
Risking Failure#17: Outtakes #1Recently we compiled a collection of some fun we’ve had with this project so far. Some embarrassing stuff, some stupid stuff and of course some moments you may already recognize. Mostly where Dobbo is “Taking the Micky” out of… well, Mick.2014-04-0907 min
Risking Failure#16: Beacon of Courage – SharnSharn McNeill was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) after almost a year of tests. The diagnosis bought her life to a screeching halt, and became the beginning of what has already been an incredible and inspiring journey. Within the last year, Sharn has gone from diagnosis to being awarded the Beacon of Courage […]2014-04-0256 min
Risking Failure#15 – In the wrong job?So how do we find our calling? Or is it even something to be found? This week we shared our own findings on consistencies and questions that have helped in our own journeys, and discussed a listener topic idea – “How can one know they’re in the right job? We certainly don’t claim to have […]2014-03-2649 min
Risking Failure#14 – Positioning – Who am I?What do we do in the “small” moments? The “tough” moments? This week we talked about how we are positioning ourselves, and how that impacts the outcome of our relationships in all areas of life. Are we the person who is always trying to be right, strong, loving, challenging, understanding, supportive, demeaning, overpowering, second-guessing, devils […]2014-03-1741 min
Risking Failure#13 – Lifestyle ExperimentsWhat assumptions do we have about work habits? I thought this photo was an intriguing one – Sometimes we should maybe stop and look at our lifestyles and do some experiments to test what dumb stuff we’ve put into pattern mode… Don’t get me wrong, we aren’t saying we have all the answers – but […]2014-03-0944 min
Risking Failure#12 – Not Enough Time…Are we spending our time being busy or being productive? How many hours of “potent” work can we get in a week, and are we trying to prove something or respond to what we “should” be doing? That’s what we talked about this week, and we created some experiments to test some boundaries on how […]2014-02-2849 min
Risking Failure#11 – Kicked in the guts…We’ve all had those moments where something happens or we have an interaction with someone that paralyzes our thoughts, actions or minds. This week we talked about these experiences, and shared our own perspective. We honestly wrestled around with this one, and concluded that it’s much bigger than we imagined…2014-02-2151 min
Risking Failure#10 Overwhelm/Juggling Loads #2When we got back on the horn again this week, the topic of overwhelm was still at hand! Mick talked about how he’d now had the same week as Dobbo the week before… Overwhelm! But this time, we felt really good about the conclusions we drew from revisiting this subject and fleshing out some productive ideas […]2014-02-1524 min
Risking Failure#9 Overwhelm/Juggling Loads #1What do falling leaves and pool pumps have in common? Well this week, Dobbo was “under the pump” and offered up his fairly ordinary week as a platform to explore why he got to a point of feeling like too much was happening. We discussed what critical decisions were made (in hindsight) that pulled him […]2014-02-0641 min
Risking Failure#8 Going With The FlowThis week, the universe conspired to provide a message… Or did it? Are we sometimes being looked after? Or sometimes not being look after? This episode we get lofty talking about whether we should surrender to the universe, go with the flow or just maybe admit it’s all a bunch of self-talk… Seriously, sometimes we […]2014-01-2939 min
Risking Failure#7 A Way to Make an ImpactOn Christmas Eve of 2013, Danny English and a small group of dedicated friends around the globe did something that was probably the last thing on anyone’s mind. They ran an ultra-marathon to raise money for a village in the Philippines. Listen in as Danny talks about how enough money was raised to send 185 […]2014-01-2141 min
Risking Failure#6 Can I actually do this?After new year resolutions and discussions of “change” and “terror” – this week we talk about what it takes to create some terror, and whether it’s the right kind… and if we’re ready for it. What’s the difference between creating change for the sake of change, or change for the sake of pride and achievement?2014-01-2136 min
Risking Failure#5 New Year – Here We Go Again!It’s 2014! Happy New Year! With the new year behind us, we talk about Resolutions and how they’ve become basically something we both avoid. With so much more media pushing us to feel like we should be doing something or being something, it’s hard not to feel like you’re going to find your full potential […]2014-01-0931 min
Risking Failure#4 Stuck In a RutEver had that feeling of being stuck, like you’ve been traveling down a path and exhaustively trying to make changes and feel like there’s no options left? This can be a pretty intimidating feeling, and this week we discuss our own experiences with being stuck. As the fourth but final episode for 2013, we hope […]2013-12-2146 min
Risking Failure#3 Goals: Authentic vs PleasingIn this episode, Dobbo talks about whether we’re even asking ourselves if we REALLY want what we’re aiming for in our goals, and how to tell if they are a product of pleasing someone else or someone else’s image of us. We recall how our thoughts on goal setting have changed over time, and do […]2013-09-2658 min
Risking Failure#2 Authentic Success?“Authentic Success”… Really – We’re using that phrase? Isn’t it a bit of a bull#$%t phrase that suggests all kinds of inspirationally generic ideas about inching your way “to the top”? Well, that’s where this episode started – and it ended with a cup of tea, and the reality that we’re still all just trying […]2013-09-2050 min
Risking Failure#1 Risking Failure – Afraid of what?In this our first episode, we leave our human side on display (As Mick fails to speak or know what to say as the show kicks off!). We talk about failure, what it means and why it’s such a big topic, and most of all why we and so many people are afraid of it. […]2013-09-1345 min
