100NO 484: How To Make OUTSTANDING Decisions in Life

On the back of last week’s episode where Aussie music legend Normie Rowe joined us with his bride-to-be, wellness spa chef, Sam Gowing, we are talking the process required to make OUTSTANDING decisions in life.
Now it might seem obvious – or not – that this is a VERY important topic, given that the consequences of poor decisions can be disastrous.
But more than anything, we discuss the COURAGE required to make great decisions, even if those decisions are unpopular or defy the common stereotypes you’ll be met with when you make them.
So, strap yourself in and enjoy our discussion about making outstanding decisions!

100NO 483: Normie Rowe and Sam Gowing on Love, Positivity & Breaking Stereotypes

This could be the greatest love story we EVER tell on 100 Not Out. 
Two of our 100 Not Out Alumni, Australia’s original King of Pop Normie Rowe … and the world’s number one Spa Chef Sammy Gowing, have been an item for many years …
And just a few weeks ago, at the ripe young age of 75 … Normie popped the question to his beloved Sammy … and she said YES!!!
We just had to get them on to enjoy in the festivities of such a heartwarming story … we reckon you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy and learn a thing or two about life, love and breaking stereotypes on this inspiring episode of 100 Not Out. 
Our previous chats with Normie and Sam have also been pretty awesome! Look up episodes 86, 130, 263 and 268 of 100 Not Out or click on the links below.

100NO 482: How Pets Improve Longevity with Emily Martin

More and more research today is showing just how effective having a pet is for a longer and healthier life.
But at the same time, the longevity of pets themselves is under threat, as more and more pets are being euthanised each year for incontinence.
Enter Emily Martin, Queensland’s young entrepreneur of the year and founder of Dundies.
With 200,000 pets being euthanised each year, this episode has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, don’t underestimate the power of pet ownership as a key factor for longevity. And secondly, look outside the box when it comes to prolonging and improving your pet’s quality of life.

100NO 481: Are we eating too much protein?

Marcus has been listening to a number of podcasts featuring Dr Zach Bush, and one in particular was around the consumption of protein.
As a former vegan, the protein conversation has always been there.
On this episode Marcus grills Damian (see the pun there?) on all things protein – do we eat too much of it? What clues do our daily diets provide us with (Marcus shares his daily diet and asks Damo about protein intake)? And more importantly, what do we do if we are having too much protein?
What impact does water intake and portion size have on protein consumption?
So many questions! And Damian Kristof provides all the answers on this meaty topic!

100NO 480: Stress v The Perfect Diet & Longevity

We’re in an ongoing conversation and pondering the role good food and stress plays in our efforts to age gracefully.
There’s no doubt that a great diet becomes even more important as we age, because a poor diet contributes so heavily to chronic disease. Over a third of all cancers and diabetes are a direct result of obesity. And in the spirit of personal accountability, obesity is within our control.
But just how strict or fixed do we need to be? And what if our diet is causing bucketloads of stress?
Again, this is a conversation we could have for a very long time. But today, we give it a good belting for half an hour in an effort to bring more clarity to your approach to food and the rest of your life.

100NO 479: Are you living your best life or dying slowly?

It’s another curly question on today’s podcast. Damo’s asked Marcus recently if he would live or die for his children.
It may have been misinterpreted, but Marcus said he would absolutely die for his children! And then Damo said he would absolutely live for Jackson … and then the whole meaning of the question sunk in.
So many of us live mediocre existences that we forget our children – or others – are watching.
It doesn’t have to be for children – you might be LIVING your best life and as a result fall in love with an incredible human being.
More than anything, this episode challenges us all to ask the question – are we living our best live?

100NO 478: Stereotypes and coffee

Marcus has had an interesting time in Sydney where his choice of milk with his coffee was heavily scrutinized by the barrista.
Have our dietary choices created more segregation, or are we on the right track?

100NO 477: Mastering Tough Conversations

Marcus has just driven to Sydney and spent the morning listening to former guest Charlie Arnott have some tough conversations with his guests on his own podcast, The Regenerative Journey.
Marcus and Damo then talk about their own tough conversations they’ve had with each other, and why it’s so important to not sweep things under the carpet, particularly with people that we love.
At the same time, tough conversations can bring us to a deeper level of understanding of ourselves, others and the wider world, only when we are prepared to have – and listen to – tough conversations.

100NO 476: Mastering The Art of Slow

Does it feel to you like the fast-paced life of pre COVID days has quickly returned?
We both reckon the pace of life – the longer work hours, the busy-ness, the bad habits, etc – are back with a vengeance, and it’s time to slow down.
We share our own experiences with this as well as our daily habits in order to create slow.
Easier said than done, but we reckon you will be able to relate!
Enjoy the episode 🙂
