The Smooth Voice of Mark Aiston Part 3: A Life Journey: Exploring Self-Acceptance, Healing, and the Power of Genuine Self-Expression
Ever found yourself stuck in the shackles of self-identity or entangled in the threads of public scrutiny? How about that moment when you put on a brave face, but deep down, you're breaking apart?
On our podcast today, we draw back the curtain on these raw, unfiltered emotions and take a deep dive into the abyss of self-acceptance and healing with our guest, Mark. His personal journey is both inspirational and enlightening, showing us the lasting impact of our actions on others and the value of honesty in our experiences.
Being true to oneself may sound cliché, but does society allow us to be ourselves, unapologetically and candidly? Mark's experiences make us ponder upon the distortions that come with high-profile positions and the risks associated with an ego-driven persona.
We further unravel the complexities of addiction, exploring its various forms, its deceptive allure of confidence, and how to navigate around it. Amidst the chaos, we also discover the healing power of humour and the balance it can bring to our lives.
As we journey through our conversation, we not only touch upon the transformative power of music but also bask in the warmth of companionship.
Reflecting on his love for 'Dancing Queen', Mark takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminding us of youth's invincibility and the freedom it offers.
Prepare yourself for an enriching episode that will inspire you, stir your soul, and leave you with an abundance of thoughts and potential answers. Don't just listen, come and experience it!

In this episode, Paul and Joe discuss the concept of success and how it can be misleading. Joe shares his personal journey of being an ambitious person in high school, but realizing that his pursuit of success was causing him to be a hypocrite. He had a savior complex and believed that he had the potential to change the world and make it a better place. However, he came to the realization that this was folly and that the healthiest kind of ambition arises naturally.
The conversation then shifts to the idea that the external world is just a mirror for our inner journey. Instead of getting upset and judging others, looking inward and understanding what needs to be worked on within ourselves is important. The guest emphasizes the importance of being a good human being and forfeiting the pursuit of grander purposes in order to avoid hypocrisy. The conversation highlights the importance of being authentic and true to oneself, rather than chasing an idea of success that may not be genuine.
The speakers also discuss the phenomenon of people blindly following leaders and ideologies, and the dangers of confirmation bias. They stress the importance of being open-minded and admitting when one is wrong, rather than being biased and closed off to other perspectives. The guest frames different aspects of life as cults, including religion, political ideology, and even career paths. He explains that addiction and blindness often accompany cult-like behaviour, and that people can become so invested in their journey that they project more meaning onto it to justify bad actions.
The conversation emphasizes the importance of being self-aware, authentic, and open-minded, rather than blindly following a specific ideology. They also discuss the ego, which they describe as a conditioned story about who we are. They stress the importance of surrendering to the unknown and leaving more of the story open, rather than feeling the need to have a story without holes.
The conversation then shifts to the topic of parenting and discipline. The guest shares a story about his mother and how she dealt with his niece's bad behaviour. They discuss the different ways of disciplining children and the potential dangers of certain methods. Overall, the conversation concludes with the idea that there is no right or wrong, only different perspectives and that it's essential to be able to see things from different angles and be open to new ideas.

Joe The Genius Part 1: Exploring Identity and Humor in Everyday Life
Welcome to a new series of Podcast with Paul In this first of 3 episodes, Paul interviews Joe Wehbe, a writer from Sydney. Joe and Paul are working on a book together, exploring the contrast and conflict between two workplaces, while also delving into the seriousness of life.
The conversation centres around the humour in human behaviour and how even the most serious people can be the funniest. Paul and Joe discuss observations made by comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, who find humour in everyday situations. They also touch on the concept of self-realization and how it can be funny to see how ridiculous humans can be.
In this podcast, the hosts explore the concept of humor and how it can be found in unexpected places. They discuss how human beings are inherently funny and how comedians can make people realize how ridiculous humans can be. The conversation then shifts to the idea of appearances and how much of life can be about them, even when it seems like it shouldn't be. Our environment and opportunities play a role in shaping who we are and what we choose to barrack for.
Paul and Joe delve into the idea of identity and how we constantly look for ways to identify ourselves. They suggest that we often try to identify ourselves through comparison and hierarchy, such as being part of a winning sports team or identifying with a certain profession.
Additionally, they discuss the idea of addiction and how we tend to deal with things by relocating them to something less deadly. If we addict ourselves to things that are helpful and not hurtful, that is where the fun of life can be found. However, trying too hard to make life more than it needs to be can get in the way and make things less enjoyable.
The key takeaway is that we should focus on allowing life to flow and accepting the opportunities presented to us, rather than trying to fight or change them.
Surrendering to who we are without the idea of living up to someone's or society's idea of us can lead to a more fulfilling life. It's essential to pay attention to where we see ourselves slipping and when we feel a disturbance, to stop listening to it because it starts giving us instructions.
We can choose how we react to external events and make helpful choices that benefit our health and well-being. The hosts also discuss the idea of success and how it can be a source of obsession that leads to missing out on joy along the way. Instead, they suggest focusing on the journey and finding joy in the present moment.

Welcome to the last episode of A Yarn with Gavin. In this final episode, your host Paul Rowse talks with Gavin about being in the hospital for a few days due to smoking. Gavin explains that he still smokes and enjoys it, comparing it to someone who enjoys a glass of red wine in the sun.
Paul encourages Gavin to stop making excuses for his smoking habits Gavin explains why he smokes and encourages the guest to quit smoking.
Gavin talks about the age-old debate of quality versus quantity of life.
Paul and Gavin chat about vaping, with this sometimes is more addictive than smoking, and people who switch to vaping to quit smoking sometimes have to go back to smoking to kick the habit.
Gavin takes about his past illness. He has used this experience to share and give back.
During the conversation, Paul and Gavin discuss the difference between smoking and vaping, and the dangers of the latter.
Gavin's kids have also been vaping and he's noticed physical changes in them.
Gavin shared a life lesson he would put on his tombstone: Always ask the question.
He believes that asking a question of an authority figure will reveal if they are a dickhead or not. As an example, he used a situation with a kid getting dropped from D1 to D2 in sports.
He suggested that his son ask the coach why he was dropped, and if the coach gave constructive feedback, this son can learn and move on. However, if the coach is evasive then his son can know that the coach is not worth their time.
Gavin also shared a conversation he had with his son who lost out on a job. He suggested that his son ask the company what made them go elsewhere, whether it be price or availability. This conversation highlighted the importance of asking questions and learning from the answers
And find out at the end the song Gavin picked.
In this episode of Podcast with Paul, the host discusses his experiences with fights at school.
He attended Finn High and remembers squabbles, fights, and boys having to identify their strengths.
He also remembers fights at Wyala, and Adelaide, with kids filming the fights. The host admits that on three separate occasions, he drew blood on people's faces in order to defend himself, although he doesn't take pride in it.
This conversation reflects on a time in the past when two people would settle a dispute with a fight.
The speaker points out that these days, there are professional fights with rules and regulations and thousands of people cheering, but in the playground, violence is not something to be encouraged.
Paul then reflects on the days when they had to walk or bike to school, and they had to go through neighborhoods that were not always safe.
The conversation ultimately emphasizes that violence is not a healthy way to solve disputes and that it should not be encouraged.
The speaker reflects on his experiences with bullying growing up. He explains that in his time, bullying was more physical than it is now, but it was still a severe problem.
He tells how he and his friends formed a support network and stuck together against bullies.
He also talks about how some people who point fingers at bullies are actually bullies themselves, and that sometimes issues are best sorted out in the schoolyard.
Lastly, he remembers the fear of transitioning from primary school to high school, and the myths and facts about bullying that were associated with it. The conversation was about the pressure of having to defend one's honour in the face of a threat.
In the first six months, Gavin never went to the toilet as he was always looking at the hydra.
He was worried about being seen as cowardly and would react in a way that wasn't truly him but wanted to prove to people that he was brave enough to stand up for what he believed in.
He also mentioned that he never avoided a fight in the street and would always face it head-on. Now that he is older, he has taken a more full-frontal approach to other things instead of fighting. He doesn't get scared or intimidated and looks past any threats.

Martin Haese The best is yet to come Part 3
Martin Hazy Part 3: Seizing The Day To Lead In Climate Change Solutions And Create Sustainable Competitive Advantages
On this final episode of Martin Haese the best is yet to come, Paul talks about Martin's journey from running the city council to taking on responsibility for tackling climate change. Martin recounts his experience at the 2015 United Nations Conference in Paris, where he spoke on behalf of the City of Adelaide. He remembers walking out into the auditorium and seeing the 6000 people in attendance. Paul then inquires about what steps Martin is taking to tackle the issue of climate change.
Martin talks about his experience at the COP 21 climate change conference in Paris. He walked out to a sea of faces, feeling intimidated, but to only be told they had an audience of 4 million watching online. Martin decided to put on a smile to disarm the room and speak confidently. He talks about South Australia leading the way with renewable energy, surpassing Denmark last year. He expresses the importance of being optimistic about the future, and how the world is inspired by South Australia's progress.
The conversation focuses on decarbonising a range of industries, such as agriculture, transport, land use, construction, and supply chains. This is part of the move to a lower emissions future and is commonly referred to as net zero.
Carbon is essential for life, but an increase in carbon in the atmosphere directly results in an increase in warming. Decarbonisation is not just about offsetting, but also about reducing carbon emissions in the environment. South Australia has the opportunity to become a solutions provider for many of these solutions, with a world market waiting for the products and services they provide.
Martin discusses his vision for South Australia to become a leading provider of renewable energy solutions. He is the chair of the Premier's Climate Change Council and is passionate about creating a sustainable competitive advantage for the region. He believes that it is important for people to understand the implications of climate change and why it is necessary to act now. He points out that, with an average temperature increase of 1.5 degrees, there will be a disproportionate increase in extreme weather events. He encourages people to think about how their actions have an impact on the planet, and that the same principles apply to the entire planet as they do to individual homes.

Martin Haese The best is yet to come Part 2
Martin Haese: “Working Hard To Increase Emotional Intelligence & Advocate For Businesses During Challenging Times"
In part 2 of Martin Haese’s The best is yet to Come, Martin talks about his experience as mayor and how he worked with many mayors around South Australia. He speaks about how it was a privilege to be Lord Mayor, and how he made a difference to lead the CITY of Adelaide. Martin explains that he felt he had done all he wanted to achieve and it was time for a new chapter.
In the conversation, Martin reflects on his time in office and his decision to not run again. He explains that while the public saw a successful council with infrastructure in place and 750 staff, privately he was dealing with family members who were very ill and working 80-90 hours a week. He notes that being Lord Mayor is not a 9-5 role, and to do it justice one must be dedicated and willing to put in the hours.
Martin speaks about what it was like to be the Lord Mayor of a major city and the expectations that came with the role. He explain that it was an incredibly demanding job, often requiring him to be on all the time, working late into the night to make sure everything was prepared for the next day.
Martin explain that he would usually start their day at 7:30 am and finish it at 11:00 pm. He explains that while he gave his all to the role, sometimes it is best to move on and choose something else when you are at your peak. Martin then elaborates on what they did after leaving the role as Lord Mayor of Adelaide.
Martin was also a former Chief Executive of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in South Australia (Business SA). He took on the role with the intention of going back into business, and he was transparent with the board about this. When COVID hit, the business community was in crisis and they looked to the organisation for leadership.
Martin and his team worked hard to provide advocacy, industrial relations, and other services to many thousands of businesses across South Australia. He also inherited a structure that was not as purposeful as other chambers of commerce, so he worked hard to make changes to increase membership and provide value to those members. He worked closely with the then treasurer, Rob Lucas, to advocate for the business community and make sure their needs were met.

Martin has had an extensive career as an entrepreneur and manager. He co-founded the Entrepreneurs Organisation in South Australia and was the General Manager of the Rundle Mall Management Authority. During his tenure, he successfully launched public holiday trading and built the case for a $30 million public realm upgrade. From 2010 to 2014, he was the Chairman of the Bay to Birdwood Motoring Event and served on various boards in Adelaide. He has an MBA and is very knowledgeable about motor vehicles and their history. The conversation will explore his career, his accomplishments, and his views on emotional intelligence.
Martin Haese is an incredibly successful individual. He studied at the University of Adelaide and was a guest lecturer at the University of Wollongong. In 2014 he was elected Lord Mayor of Adelaide and did many great things for the city, such as rolling out the 10 gigabit ultrafast fiber optic network in partnership with TPG Telecom, investing in laneways, tramways and bikeways, and being a guest speaker at the Paris Cop 21. In 2019 he was appointed the CEO of Business SA.
His colleagues say Martin is a joy to work with, a great lecturer and an outstanding Lord Mayor. He currently resides in the city of Adelaide with his wife, and they love living in the urban environment.
Martin and Paul met 14-15 years ago when they were both studying for their MBA. Paul is passionate about education and the people he meets. Martin was thinking about how their lives have changed since then and asked Paul what made him decide to go back to school. Paul mentioned that he still stays in contact with many of the people from his course. Martin remembered reading on Paul's LinkedIn page about a conversation he had with John Gardner and how he wouldn't have known him if not for George, who was also in the course. The conversation then turned to Martin’s time as Lord Mayor of Adelaide and the work he did to protect and promote the beauty of the city.
Paul and Martin had both completed an MBA together. Paul purchased a $1,000 voucher for a business school program for a young man he had employed at this company academy, but he had said he didn't need it. So Paul took it up. This podcast episode highlights the importance of education, the power of networking and chance encounters to open up new opportunities.
