I will be putting my head down and going dark for a while.It's time to reassess my values, and whether or not my current trajectory is serving me to be at my best.I will be implementing everything I have been coaching over the last two years of this podcast. I will be back, but for now, it is goodbye, whilst I remove distractions and become singularly focused on building my empire.Thank you to everyone who has tuned in and shown support.Happy two-year anniversary!Links are below for the brands I am affiliated with and trust, along with my social channels.Much love.

Head-Up Charity is a mental health organisation founded by four British Military Veterans with over 50 years of experience serving their country, including 11 operational tours. Their aim is to build a retreat where serving and ex-serving personnel can go to learn the tools and methods utilised by the founders to help them through the difficult transition process from military to civilian. This process can be quite challenging, and some people never really recreate their identity and higher purpose, which can lead down a dark road which has resulted in many mates and colleagues taking their own lives.Paul is a veteran of numerous deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and has battled his own demons. In the first episode we recorded together over a year ago, he shared some of those struggles, the impact of declining mental health, and what he did to overcome those demons and get himself to a place mentally where he was no longer suicidal.

In this episode, we catch up with S&C Head Coach Shaun Kober at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand. We talk all things mindset, health and uncover some ways in which you can make some real changes in your life. Shaun is not a man to beat around the bush and that's why we loved having his real talk attitude, that is so refreshing. This is a conversation I recorded with podcast regular Lizzie Wright for her podcast Project Woman a few months ago. As always, it's a great conversation between two coaches who love to dig into topics that can provide real insight and value to the listeners, hence why I've decided to rebroadcast it here to the Live Train Perform audience.Shaun KoberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancefunctionaltrainingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOpTWXi1xKdamDBgzlfaPwLizzie WrightLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lizziewrightInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizziewrighty/ Swiss 8: https://www.instagram.com/swiss.8/https://swiss8.org/BeSpunki: https://bespunki.com.au/Use the code "KOBES10" at checkout for your discount!Rate and Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/livetrainperform

Shaun Kober is the strength and conditioning coach for UFC fighter Petr Yan, and the head strength and conditioning coach at Tiger Muay Thai. In this episode, we spoke about his adventure training the UFC Champion in Russia for his title fight, and his experience as a cornerman during the title fight.Think Rocky 4 training montage. Always great talking to Kobes, one of the most knowledgeable coaches around. Have a listen!I had a conversation with Adrian and Mex of Swiss 8 booked in for my podcast, so we could share what they were up to and what their vision is for this year, but unfortunately, we all got hit with the Rona, so we had to postpone.So I'm sharing a conversation that we had for their podcast "Instructions Sold Separately" in February this year.Shaun KoberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancefunctionaltrainingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOpTWXi1xKdamDBgzlfaPwSwiss 8: https://www.instagram.com/swiss.8/https://swiss8.org/BeSpunki: https://bespunki.com.au/Use the code "KOBES10" at checkout for your discount!Rate and Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/livetrainperform

The day we recorded this episode, another veteran from Si's regiment had committed suicide.We have both lost mates to the black dog over the years, and it has become apparent that the conventional tools and methods used by the government-run mental health organisations are not sufficient for a large portion of those in need.Swiss 8 and Head-Up Charity are changing the game. Swiss 8 is a veteran-run organisation that is based out of Australia, that provides their people with an app that delivers their 8 pillars of health and wellness directly to their phone, so they can structure in and schedule the important cornerstone habits that will have a positive, flow-on effect through the rest of their day to manage their mind.Head-Up Charity is a veteran-run organisation operating out of the UK. Their goal is to build a state-of-the-art resort-style facility in the countryside, to provide a place for those seeking proactive mental health strategies they can then take away, and apply to their own lives on a daily basis, with the intent to also pass on these tools and methods to their mates who may be dealing with their own mental health battles.In this episode we covered:The lessons we've both taken from listening back to our first conversationThe power of the mindWhat is the vision for Head-Up Charity?How will they raise the funds required to facilitate the end-state?The lessons and the fulfillment is within the journey, not the destinationYou can listen to the first episode we recorded together here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/8127623-simon-moloney-cgc-conspicuous-gallantry-cross.mp3?download=trueYour host - Shaun KoberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancefunctionaltrainingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOpTWXi1xKdamDBgzlfaPwYour guest - Simon MoloneyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mo1089/Head Up Charity: https://www.instagram.com/head_up_charity/https://www.head-up.org.uk/Fighting Minds: https://www.instagram.com/fighting__minds/https://fightingminds.uk/Swiss 8: https://www.instagram.com/swiss.8/https://swiss8.org/BeSpunki: https://bespunki.com.au/Use the code "KOBES10" at checkout for your discount!Rate and Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/livetrainperform  

 “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” This is one of the most impactful books I've ever read, and it is constantly on the top-5 list of books I recommend that everybody read. Where it sits in the top 5 will depend on the person I'm recommending it to, but this is a must-read for everyone who listens to this podcast!Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.Your host - Shaun Kober Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancef...

Every time I go away and switch off my phone for the weekend, I always return refreshed, rejuvenated, and with renewed clarity. On these trips, I:Remove myself from my normal environment Switch my phone off for a set period and minimise other technology Walk along the beach, swim and/or just generally get out into nature Spend time alone Read Journal Reflect on where I'm at in my life Set some intentions In this episode I explain in detail what I wrote down in regards to my gratitude journal, my fixes, improves and sustains, as well as the projects I'm working on and the action steps required to implement into my days/weeks/months moving forward. If you haven't given yourself one of these weekends or days, I highly recommend you do so!

In this episode, I provide some insight into how my training has had to adapt to my everchanging life over the last 9 months or so, including time in Russia and the UAE in fight camp preparations with UFC champion Petr Yan, filming with Discovery channel in India, and returning to Phuket and building my reputation and presence with my professional fighters.Our lives go through different seasons where our values and priorities must constantly be assessed and adjusted to suit where we're currently at, and what we need to do to move in the right direction...and our actions and behaviours must be aligned with those underlying principles, including our training.Your host - Shaun Kober Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancef...

Podcast regular Lizzie Wright reached out to me and asked if we could jump on a call so she could pick my brain and bounce some ideas off me...so we decided to record it to share with our audiences.Lizzie had recently returned to the UK after a long stint in Singapore, and her lifestyle, work-life, social life, schedule, and pretty much every other familiar routine she had built over roughly 8 years had been turned upside-down.In this episode we discuss:Understanding hierarchy of valuesHow to create clarityWhy it's important to prioritise tasksWhat to do to manage energy levelsHow to create an optimal daily/weekly/monthly structureThis was an enjoyable conversation that will no doubt leave the audience with some actionable takeaways they can start implementing into their own lives!We did speak in depth about how I use my calendar and diary in conjunction with two whiteboards  I have hanging at eye level above my laptop at my workstation, so if you would prefer a visual of what we are discussing, you can find that on my YouTube channel linked below.Your host - Shaun Kober Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancef...
