Good Grief by Martin 100 days: Recent Episodes
Martin Vogt
Good Grief by Martin is a 100 day creative audio project to record 100 consecutive days. Inspired by the sudden passing of his son Buster Vogt on 1/4/2020 Martin shares the unenviable story of the loss of a loved one, the ironic creativity that develops through the grief process and expands on his illustration therapy project ‘Good Grief by Martin’, his own creative interests and unique perspective on creativity and life. This will in time hopefully be a launchpad to introduce guests who have also inspired in the face of adversity.

Birthdays do make you reflect on your life and mortality, and this year it's a big one.
Today I look back over the years and, frankly, I'm pleased with my journey — it's surprised me how well it's worked out. It wasn't a life full of financial riches, even though I've had a few wins from time to time; I'm more rich in moments, experiences and connections. So I can honestly say I won't die with any regrets.
I'm in my van with my dog Buddy, looking over the harbour in Fremantle, Western Australia, and there's a big old broken-down boat. This boat is no different to people in that regard — in most instances, we last longer with regular maintenance and self-care.
For everyone: whatever you're going through right now, be it a win, success, loss or disappointment, wherever you're at in the cycle, I expect that it will pass. Some things are much harder to overcome than others, but there will always be change, and over time we look back and see that this is the rhythm of life — it goes up and it goes down. None of us are immune to tragedy either, and that comes in many forms. My gut feel is that with better choices, we can make most things just a little bit easier for ourselves and others along the way.
So many friends and loved ones to thank, and my wish is that you all find a sense of hope and purpose.
If you enjoy this episode, check out the other series, and if you feel it's worth sharing, pass it onto a friend.
Big hugs to John Summerton for our song at the end of this episode — Be a Good Friend. Xx

So when do you stop the story?
This episode is about recovery from setbacks.
Setbacks confront us every day, so what can we do that’s in our favour to work through them and get back on track?
A setback can be many things, it could be injury, a relationship breakup, health issues, an accident, the loss of a loved one and there are lots more examples that we could list.
Depending on the severity or frequency of our setbacks, there is no doubt the experience can be debilitating. In time however and I am not making light of big life challenges, the fog will begin to clear and then it’s the actions we take or the choices we make that influence our recovery.
Being conscious of our self talk is another good habit to take on, how we speak to ourselves by simply reframing a situation can make a significant difference in how quickly we can get back on track. No one sees the movie unfolding in our mind, the rest of the world is just getting on with things while we ruminate, stress, get anxious and so on.
Striving towards growth and our full potential is a worthy pursuit and if we acknowledge that setbacks are just experiences and see them as learning opportunities and even signposts, and with good choices we can improve and simplify our life journey towards our future self.
My personal goal in aging is to be as mobile, effective and as cognitively able as I can and do what is within my power today to make small investments in that future me.
Massive hugs to anyone who is struggling, I encourage you to be kind to yourself and become your own cheerleader today- you are worthy of a good life.
Big ups to Dr Cuz, today he has shared with me his song ‘English Tea’. This song came about because Cuz’s mum would always say everything feels better after a cup of tea.
Finally a big shout out to Craig Harper of The You Project, thanks for being one of my champions.

Dilutional or Optimistic
How we choose to describe the world and operate within it is entirely up to us. Sure, there are some rules — but experience and a lot of searching tells me we have the capacity to make magic in our lives and influence others along the way.
This podcast is about recovery. Recovery from the loss of my son Buster some years ago, the slow journey back, and the moment I decided to accept that — as sad as it was — Buster wasn't coming back. That he could be my inspiration. That we could collaborate on how we chose to move forward in our lives.
It begins with how we speak to ourselves. Set some things to work towards, and each day make an effort to make a little progress. Some days all we're doing is facing the right way and not moving at all — and other times we find it easy to make significant gains. The aim is to work in the direction of our core values, essential needs and personal interests; our hobbies, goals and developing new ones.
Over many episodes I've shared the slow journey out of the fog and forward, to the point where we are now. MORE Mindful is in development, and we're working with Jurcevic Consulting to get it up online alongside the pending launch of the MORE Mindful app.
By being more mindful, I've found there's time to work towards some of your lifetime dreams — to take on things you'd never imagined you were capable of — and through intentional living, to change how we see ourselves.
Big ups to my buddy Nick Compton, Dr Cuz, Craig Harper from The You Project and everyone who listens in.
Massive hugs,
Martin

Arriving at ENOUGH- This is a journey of discovery and recovery, creating good habits and making a few more better choices along the way. Discovering that we are enough is a revelation, that being good at being us means that we don’t have to be any one else and being MORE MINDFUL is the gift I’d like to share.
What began as a 100 day creative commitment, soon turned into an effective lifestyle strategy. I quickly learned that there is no payoff or pot of gold at the end of this, just that the payoff is in the doing. It’s in the turning up regularly and the new insight and surprises that we are gifted along the way.
I would like to encourage everyone make sure that fun and play are in bold in your story, choose good people to be in your world, notice if you need to rest, turn off the chatty negative voice in your head, eat well, learn something new and take time to be mobile and active.
Armed with our core values and key areas of focus, now we have things to monitor and pay attention to, a simple life strategy that takes very little effort.
This more conscious approach to living has made a significant difference in not only how I am living my life, its change the direction of what I am interested in too. I hope that this chat makes a small difference to how you turn up today.
RIP- John Del Dosso- my work colleague passed away last week and we send love to his family. John and I weren’t close friends but I always enjoyed our regular encounters.
Special shout out to Dr Cuz aka Paul Cozens for the music at the end of this podcast- Love and Understanding.

About the Podcast
How do I explain this podcast? It's insights into my life-changing journey — going from average to exceptionally average. What began as part of a 100-day creative challenge has extended to over 105 episodes of creativity and personal development, and I do this in the hope that the messages conveyed encourage you to notice that we all have within our power to make small but significant change and impact on our lives.
How It's Made
I chat in my van or my car as I travel to and from the beach, or drive into the city on the way to work — recording and sharing my own experiences and life lessons along the way.
This Week We Chat About
- Boundaries
- Drag — what's getting in the way of our progress
- The benefit of community
- Improving on positive self-talk
- Why you should stop comparing yourself to others
Take Me With You
Take me and my podcast with you to the café, beach, or for a drive — and maybe something I share in this or any of the other episodes will resonate with you.
Special Mention 🎵
A huge shoutout to Dr Cuz for his amazing track Love the Life You Live featured at the end of this episode.
Check out his album Dr Cuz & Friends — Many Faces on Spotify.

Good Grief by Martin 100 Days Season 14 · Episode 1
YOUR CHOICES ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME
Life is all about the choices we make — turning left instead of turning right. The decisions we make heavily influence the outcomes, and jeepers, sometimes we can really make it hard for ourselves, despite the people around us who care about us telling us otherwise.
A word of advice: stick with the winners. Start making better choices and suddenly you're hacking the system, playing the game in your favour. You are worthy of a good life.
We kick off Season 14 with a recap of a recent fundraiser for the Barbarian Group, raising funds for suicide awareness programmes — and what a night it was! Huge thanks to The Buffalo Club Fremantle, Girl Shaped Gun, OUTOUT, and The Chinchillaz for putting on an absolutely fantastic show.
MORE — A Mindful Practice
The mindful practice project is well and truly underway and we are in full development mode. We're working through multiple edits of the online platform alongside the Mindful App: MORE — A Mindful Practice. Watch this space!
We also get into some chit chat about lacing the boots back up after a long break, have a yarn about comedy, and wrap up with some tips on how to overcome setbacks.
Loving all your amazing feedback and support — it truly means the world. Please share this series with anyone who might be feeling a bit lonely or is just looking for some inspiration.
Massive hugs,
Martin

This week we chat about a bunch of stuff. I had smoking surf sessions, comedy off the charts and some of my lowest of low points that resulted in a 14 hour sleep.
A quick burning ducks, a creative comedy segment on micro plastics to make you smile.
I reckon this is a cool episode and I run through self care, creativity through moderate activity, increasing neural pathways by just noticing and my own defusion meditation. Join me on my journey from all your characters on the bus (Ref Stephen C Hayes- Founder of ACT) and we take that negative thought to court.
Massive thanks to Little Pedro for the use of Skamenco at the end of this episode.
Reminder 11/4/26 Buffalo Club Fremantle - Party at our house fundraiser for suicide prevention, 15/8/26 The Ska and British MUSIC Festival at THE Rosemount Hotel.
Big hugs,
Martin

Public Announcement- This is your real life!
Kicking off with gratitude, we made it through what ever the past few weeks have thrown at us. There is a pattern, good stuff happens and then the gods go- time for a shit sandwich, next thing we’re curled up in a ball. We share simple strategies throughout this episode to help you to the other side hopefully in better condition.
Those negative thoughts- Mental Terrorists and we’re not in negotiations anymore, we’re taking control. Bring in the SWOT team
Back yourself, be your own cheerleader. We’re on the bus, with all our thoughts and experiences.
Actions create new moments, inaction we’ll , not as effective. Disclaimer: rest and self care are an action.
Big shout out to my champion @CraigHarper at The You Project, always inspiring.
You’re not lost, you’re here is on Amazon.
Massive thanks to Dr Cuz for his song Locked Up, co wrote by me in 2020 after COVID lockdown.

Last weekend Australia celebrated a very contentious holiday Australia Day, many feel that date needs to be changed and I tend to agree. That aside I was glad of the holiday and the surf that came with the long weekend.
I have just finished a run of five fringe shows, doing comedy and storytelling. It was a great experience and off the back of these shows I have new ideas to develop, so really exciting stuff.
This is 2026 the year of connection and self care and throughout this episode I will share a bunch of positive strategies to help you on your way. We discuss challenging your negative self chat and suggest some simple defusion techniques to do this using positive (green arrows pointing upward) and negative (red arrow pointing downward) thought bubbles.
Deciding that today is the day to bring in new routines doesn't need to be too overwhelming and just by making small changes with regular attention, you will notice growth in multiple areas. A few tips for being a healthier human is; quality rest, healthy eating, activity and connecting with others.
FYI: Moderate activity stimulates creative thinking, this is a very cool tip and comes with a lot of positives too.
A reminder that feeling good is determined by the actions that we take, not just about our emotions. Dopamine, Endorphins, Oxytocin and Serotonin are all mood enhancing brain chemicals stimulated by many of the actions we talk about in this episode.
This week a big shout out to Craig Harper of The You Project, thanks for all your amazing work and guests on your podcast.

Happiness is a nice to have but not essential.
Christmas is the signpost that the year's about to click over, so today we look back over a lifetime and reflect on the good times, the bad, and how we fared in the process. If we look at recent events close to home, there's so much reason for sadness—but today we have a chance to spread some joy, so let's step up and connect with others.
This is another year without our son Buster Vogt, and we reflect on our journey before and since, applying the red arrows and green arrows to see what we did well and what we could have done better. Happiness is nice to have but not essential all the time—expecting it constantly would only create disappointment.
Life has a way of putting us straight, and if we can stay on the planet long enough, we'll get our share of the good, the life lessons, and the wisdom that comes with experience.
Today I reach out to everyone who's doing it tough. Hopefully this podcast can keep you company while you go for a walk, have your lunch, or sit at the beach.
There's always a good ending to the story—it just depends when you end the story.
You are all worthy of a good life. Be kind, care about others, offer help to those in need, and it will come back tenfold.
Martin Vogt

Dying in my hole and back!
In this episode we introduce a few simple strategies for catching ourselves when we are doing something positive, or something that we would like to do more of simply by imagining a giant GREEN ARROW pointing up.
Then for things that are not so good for us, or what we should do less of, we think of a giant RED ARROW pointing down. The idea is that it gives you a moment to stop and consider if the action that you are doing is something that you want to continue with or not. Its a bit like the saying, 'act on your second thought'.
I call this next segment ‘Dying in my hole and back’. For this I break down my recent low point and y getting my thoughts out of my heads and onto the page is a game changer. Then with the help of the mindful categories I can see what it was that I did over the past week that was beneficial for my improved mood and outlook.
Finally I would like to encourage all parents to write a letter to their kids, tell them everything that you would want them to know about you and how you feel about them. I did this in January 2020 and this ended up being the most important thing I have ever done, unbeknown to me at the time my son Buster was to pass away only a few months later.
So that’s my gift to you, ok thanks for listening in all these years and we will be back in no time.
Massive hugs Martin.

Today we talk about defusion.
-
Defusion refers to the process of separating one's thoughts and feelings from one's actions, a concept most notably used in psychology. It involves detaching from unhelpful thoughts by seeing them as just passing mental events, rather than as literal truths or commands.
-
We talk about meditation and an interview with Dan Harris and the Dalai Lama and neuroscientist Richard Davidson.
-
Explain the Mindful Category concept, a collection of Core Personal Values and Key Areas of Focus.
-
The benefits of 100 days commitment in locking in new routines.
-
Using reflection and mild activity to help gain perspective.
-
Recent trip to Donnybrook where I hosted a comedy show and then an acting class in Bunbury with actor and cool guy Myles Pollard star of Aussie surf classic Breath ( by Tim Winton).
-
We reference a chat with Dr Sanjay Gupta on 10% Happier and the immediate benefit of being active.
-
We end the episode with a great song by Dr Cuz- ‘Locked Up’, a song that I am pleased to say I helped initiate during early days of covid.

The benefit of not pressing record is, you get to practice and other stuff happens and it's amazing what can happen in 4 days.
I've been doing Rostrum for 3 years now and this has been critical for my performance and presentation skills.
Last week I performed at Bunbury Comedy at the Lyric Theatre, plus Mad Cow at The Buffalo Club, and so my funny is on a roll with these new venues.
My workshop was on yesterday too: Getting Close to the Start Line- Unravelling and I am very humbled by the attendance and the magic in the room.
The W in SWOT in my workshop is: What else can I do, Who else can I ask for help, Where can I find someone to mentor me.
Burning Duck: Kev's ladder.
Finally if you say you are having a good day, you probably are & if you say you're having a bad day, then you probably are.
Big ups,
Martin

Yes you have to pay for your good times (well I have to anyway) , this week I have a busted nose, sore legs and a broken rib from a recent bout of surfing misdemeanour’s. All the price of doing what you love eh.
So I am making the most of the down time and taking the opportunity to be kind to my body and allowing the creative juices to flow.
I share about getting a creative spark while pulling weeds in a local park and that I once weeded a park the size of 2 football pitches over 6 weeks while in the depths of grief after loosing my son Buster, well it was the spark that opened the door to my new found creative output.
Getting Close to the Start Line- Unravelling is on 4/10/25 at The Meeting Place in South Fremantle.
I'm locking in comedy spots and writing new material, plus started rehearsing with my new band ‘OUT OUT’, more than British Hits.
I have also teamed up with Nick Compton to create The Ska and British Music Festival 2026 15/8/2026 at The Rosemount Hotel.
Finally I expand on the unravelling process and more.
Be magical and remember, you are more than you realise.

Apparently the world is flat. We discuss Flat earthers v round earthers and yes it’s a head fuk to say the least!
A very stormy surf report and getting smashed by my board last week.
The Ska and British Music Festival ‘25 review. It was a cracker.
‘OUT OUT’, my new music project begins.
My Mindful workout, I call this stage the unravelling and by introducing some very simple/ small changes into my daily routines, I gradually start noticing that I am moving toward a much better place. So today is my start of what ever comes next.
What’s ahead?
Closing off with don’t wait to be picked.
I’m always grateful for anyone who checks in on this podcast and previous episodes.
Massive hugs Martin

Today I am exactly where I need to be to make some very sensible decisions about how I can move forward and clean up my mess. Reason being is that I’ve been in a bit of a hole lately and yet even with all the reflective work I do, I still get stuck in my head and with that I have unfortunately attracted a bit of conflict.
So an unravelling has occurred and with that my mind feels a lot more at ease and I can feel good vibes returning and I am conscious that I am attracting a lot more positive creative energy.
Acceptance Therapy has been a big focus for me this week as I build on my Mindful Practice and specifically, working through my workshop content and supporting research.
An update on my next festival: The Ska and British Music Festival ‘25 is on at The Rosemount Hotel North Perth. Big thanks to Nick Compton of Six by Sixty Agency for his amazing support helping me with some pro marketing tips and recourses.
A new band project I have is called OUT OUT, the name of my new band.
Keep safe, be kind to yourself, reach out to someone and be magical.

With this weeks can do attitude, we aim to help as many people as possible be open to a broader sense of self and help unravel some of our preset hardwiring.
Full disclosure I had a surf this week so pretty chilled but note that this is the fourth time I have recorded this episode, so hopefully this one will land as positive for you as it did for me putting this episode together.
I expand on ‘Getting Close to the Start Line’ a workshop that I am developing into an online learning platform, it's basically sharing simple ways of overcoming setbacks. I break down the SWOT concept we use and emphasise the W ; What else can I do, Who do I know that could help teach me and so on?
We chat about creativity and the need to stop and ponder to let all those creative thoughts come to life and finally we mention the up and coming Ska and British Music Festival 2025. This is my 9th festival and my last Little Pedro show and its on 23/8/25 at The Rosemount Hotel in North Perth Western Australia.

In today’s episode we discuss the new Superman movie, the local winter surf conditions, a recent catch up with a few old school friends & my talented buddy Dr Cuz, star of a new feature movie ‘Unapologetic’.
We have a big chat about the recent workshop I put on called ‘Getting Close to the Start Line’ and our future plans for the programme. The Tall Story event I am doing at a Rostrum comedy evening and that last year, I literally died in the arse. A big part of today’s podcast is about breaking down the elements of the Mindful Practice and paying regular attention to key focus areas. Join me and play the long game.
I reckon this episode is definitely worth a listen. Big ups Martin

Dad can you get the washing off the line. This message from my daughter Millie met me in the kitchen this morning and it prompted me to write an impromptu song and put it out on socials. Nothing to do with this podcast really other than do something creative each day.
Today we reviewed the second workshop 'Getting close to the start line'. We had written feedback, face to face meetings and a Dr of psychology did a report on the workbook for me, so we have progressed so far in such a short time.
I mention a new collaboration to bring this on line with a learning platform. Lots of new beginnings to share and a big summary of simple mindful routines.
Massive hugs, Martin

Last weekend we put on the first of a series of workshops called Getting Close to the Start Line. It was a great success and feedback from those who attended very enlightening and positive. So what did I learn, well don’t overwhelm people with too much in a short time.
Plus and let people reflect, be funny during the presentation and people notice when you are authentic. I will say depending on people’s situation, they reacted differently but again it was a wonderful experience.
We do it all again on 21/6/25 so am sure there’s more to share soon.

Can you hear me at the back?
Massive shout out to everyone who supported Little Pedro at Settlers Tavern Margaret River. A quick surf report on my three sessions in the south-west on my 9’6” Mactavish Fireball, plus a quick overview of the chat at Gracie’s Store Gracetown. I’m so blessed up with inspiration, motivation and moving gradually forward and exceeding my own expectation of creative output.
Swings and Roundabouts make it into my Burning Ducks segment and the start of a new joke idea. Then there is the culling of my old clothes from my wardrobe. On another note Andrea Thompson and I are working on a new speaking and performance show and she has been so inspiring for me with her business prowess and life experience. I am so pleased to be in her world. Watch this space 31/7/25 for A good way to clear a room at Lyric Underground.
The Ska and British Music Festival is on again soon, so I give that a push 23/8/25 at The Rosemount Hotel, Little Pedro and Radio Radio Clancy’s Fremantle 13/8/25.
Such an up beat chit chat this week, don’t forget my book You’re not lost, you’re here. The book is available on Amazon.

This week was five years since we lost our son Buster Vogt 1/4/2020 and so a lot of reflection and its been a heavy week. That aside I summaries what I have learnt on the way, lets call it my free advice to you. Please enjoy this weeks big episode and one I definitely think is worth sharing.

How do you grab the attention of an audience. Is it the first line of a joke for a comic, the first moment on stage with the band or an opening to a presentation? Well get that right and the rest is much easier for everyone and I know it’s true because Seth Godin told me that just before I walked on stage last week.
We go live at the State Library Theatre this week to present ‘Give Me Some Free Advice’, we talk about confidence, a bit of wisdom and what it takes to move gradually forward toward whatever it is that you are trying to improve on. And yes this is a Purple Cow, something that I am sure that you’ll hear more about and want to be part of.
Heads up on 'You’re Not Lost You’re Here', my book is now available on Amazon and The Ska and British Music Festival 2025 is on 23rd August 2025 at The Rosemount Hotel and this is our ninth year, so please lock in your tickets. They’re on Oztix.

I’ve been battling a few demons this last few weeks, i’ve continued to do my daily routines but the imbalance of negative v positive has left me in a bit of a hole. But, the light is starting to shine a little brighter and I’m turning up a little happier.
Thank god for waves and the ocean because that is my church, plus some amazing connections that we have in the surf community.
I share about Rosslyn and Ian DeSouza and incredible couple in the arts world. Roz is our Citizen of the Year 2025 and Ian a celebrated artist. #rosslyndesouza #iandesouza
Finally, we ask you to ‘Give Me Some Free Advice’ #givemesomefreeadvice

As usual we kick off with a surf update, and this week I share about my latest weekend away in Western Australia's south west (Gracetown).
I'm starting a new movement and I am sharing my next creative project, so I invite you to give me some free advice.
I want people to notice that time v what we do, how we think about it and how we do it is so important. That if we can take a bit more notice, reset and reboot we can cover much more effective ground.
I talk about creative genius in my world which includes Craig Wallace-Gibb, Marlene Hay, Mary Chiswick and Nate Goyer, plus my wonderful friend Dr Rachel Horncastle who is running as the independent member for Cottesloe for the up and coming elections.
Plus Little Pedro bonus track.

In this episode we touch on a few effective speaking methods to make the best impact with an audience. I head off to my pubic speaking coaches course and explain some areas that if we focus on, will immediately improve any presentation or interaction with others. I also touch on story telling giant Matthew Dicks.
I introduce the simple concept of drag. So what is DRAG, well it’s anything that hinders our progress in any area, by reducing drag we therefore find we not only are more effective, but recover so much quicker.
I liked this episode and I reckon it’s definitely worth sharing. I’m going to start bringing people into chat to soon, so watch this space. Hey if you are motivated by anything I share, tell your friends and share this podcast. Lets do coffee.

Why does everyone have a red car-I guess, we’re just all noticing more?
Big blissed up session on creativity and new learning to kick off season 11. Life doesn’t have an instruction book but there are so many champions, experts and angels amongst us that we can lean on and learn from.
You buy a red car and see everyone has a red car, you start your journey and see others on that journey and they want to connect with you and help you on your way.
We check out the surf, we talk about Batshit Creative and what next after a successful Fringe Show and we ask why it is that sometimes, with little effort some things feel perfect.

I reckon this is a cracking episode and worth a listen. Since my fringe show Martin Vogt is Batshit Creative and the launch of the book You're Not Lost, You're Here (Published on Amazon) there has been so much coming up for me that I never would have expected. We run through some real life lessons and some magical feedback from others and we instigate a new creative project. Facing forward and not moving is still winning if that's all you can do. Keep spreading good vibes crew.

We are kicking off 2025 with a reflective look at how far we have come in the face of adversity and guess what we are smashing it. The feedback from those who are getting on board with introducing some positive routines has given me great satisfaction that we are making a difference to some people’s lives.
My new book You're not lost you’re here is selling really weed, it outlines just about every key question or thought that life has presented me with to ponder and take action on, or simply just accept.
My fringe show: Martin Vogt is Batshit Creative. The art of thinking about just about everything is on as part of Fringe World. Festival in a Festival. Ronnie Nights 7pm on 24/1/25. I share stories about my journey, lots of humour and a comedy set at the end.
My good friend Craig Wallace-Gibb is doing the music for me an Brodie Stewart is filming my show, to be distributed later. You are more, we are more. More than we ever imagined.
The song at the end of the show, written by me and produced and sung by Jon Summerton and arranged by Paul Aspell of EASL.

A lot of light bulb moments in this episode and keeping it simple is key. We are all much more than we think, turning up regularly, having a sense of purpose and with that- well that is where the magic is. The realisation that you are more, more than we ever expected.
Plus special feature track- John Summerton (Buster's theme) Be a good friend.

My recovery is so much quicker nowadays because of having a few good habits and routines. That's not to say I am not batshit crazy much of the time but honestly magic happens more often than not, and I surprise myself once again that this is a creative journey worth sharing.
This week I take on the Gong Master at the Comedy Lounge.
A big mention of my new book You're not lost you're here is now available on amazon.

Just back from the beach today and I am pinging off the walls. I talk about many of the creative projects I am involved with and some of my processes. It's exciting, energising and sometimes it sends me a bit nuts, but I'm loving the journey. We touch on good routines to age well and much much more. Hope that this encourages you to do something a little different today.

In burning ducks today I tell you about my friend dying of a broken heart on valentine’s day, and ironically with most things, how they will eventually turn around. I also chat about routines to speed up the recovery process and increase your productive output. Finally some crazy chit chat to put a smile on your face.

I think this is a really good episode on creative thinking and output. Today I pitch an idea called ‘Bunker Invisible Friend for Hire’. A series of stories about a Bunker trying to find friends after his own friend has passed away. Lots of lessons to learn on the way as the kids help Bunker on is journey. I have been playing with concept as a way to help kids be kind to each other and make new friends.
In ‘Burning Ducks’, I share a new joke idea I have just written about a drone going up my butt, ending the podcast with a chat about creating positive habits and routines to improve your own output and I am doing this right now to improve my surfing pop ups. Let’s call this episode creating life on your own terms.

Getting back on track starts with kind self talk, reflection and by introducing small changes. I chat about a lot of things but it’s all aimed to highlight that we all go through challenges and there are things we can all do that can make our journey a little bit easier. Remember If you say you are having a good day you probably are, and if you say your having a bad day, then you probably are.

We are in season 9- In this episode we talk about the voices in our head, and how we can deal with this chatter box when it’s being a little fucker and deal with it head on. This is a build up to a presentation I’m doing this week on overcoming negative self talk and I share some simple strategies to give you a better than average chance of dismissing, or diluting this unwanted thought in your head. Plus we go through some other random thoughts that popped up on my drive today.
Plus, we have a Little Pedro bonus track at the back of this podcast. Today’s episode is sponsored by The Ska and British Music Festival 24 at The Rosemount Hotel 9/11/24. Big ups Martin

I'm saying if you have a listen there may be something that will make a significant change to how you see the world. I'm saying not everyone is interested in change and it's likely they're not the ones listening. I share a new hack on how to cut back on cakes and sweets, how to dilute sadness, improve on your creative output and develop your new learning. I don't want to change everyone, but if just one person gets inspired to make a small change then we are already winning.

I think this episode is definitely worth a listen. Been giving it a crack this week and it's had its ups and downs, but I reckon turning up is winning even when it doesn’t feel that way.
This week I swan oceans, did my best and worst standup, played 2 gigs with my band Little Pedro in Margaret River and I have got a few new jokes to share. So what do I know, well that if you say you’re having a good day you probably are, and if you say you’re having a crap day, you probably are.

It’s been a while since I have had any funny thoughts. Letting the cycle just happen and allow those thoughts to come. Sometimes it just needs some space, a quit period where your mind can wander. In our Burning Ducks segment, we dissect the joke MOTH and then another because of a traffic jam.
Keeping on track is sometimes just turning up, not putting too much pressure on yourself and being kind to yourself.
Bonus track at the end of this episode Skamenko by Little Pedro

The Mindful Routine App is to be released Q4 2024 and it feels like the perfect time to be releasing something like Mindful Routines and it will be available to companies under license plus to anyone who may see benefit in the system. It encourages creative thinking and problem solving, new learning and conscious growth in social interactions and collaboration. Its is a game changer.

Not everything is going great but the good well outweighs the bad and so I'll take that for now.

This week is all about ticking boxes, seeing the sun shine a bit brighter and all my ducks lining up and if feels nice, so I'll bask in it while it lasts. Accepting that part of the journey means that not everything goes well all of the time, or that sometimes if feels like nothing is happening. Since I have introduced my daily mindful routines I realise more often than not- magic can be just around the corner.

I refer you to podcasts I listen to, books I have read and hopefully pass on a bit of insight that even after the worst tragedy, there is still magic in the world.
Comedy Series ‘Before I Die’. Featuring one of Perth’s up and coming comedy stars Alex Fleay. Alex hosts his own comedy show 18/9/22 Bar Orient called DigenArates Comedy Show and his own podcast Professianal Degenarates also interviewing comedians and work-shopping material. Strap in.
Oh my fuk'n god, this episode is the warts and all of my efforts to put together a 5 minute solid comedy set. This was a stand up open mic night in a burger bar. Patrons had no idea there was entertainment and were just in for a burger and they get me. Selection of material I assumed would be safe and funny, but harsh reality was I laughed more than anyone. So much respect for comics that can kick it out the park, a very humbling experience.
Comedy Series ‘Before I Die’, I interview Perth Western Australian comic Shashwat Kapoor and he tells me all about the local comedy scene, his unique humour and lots of insight into being up on stage in this brutal but addictive creative space . Big Ups ‘Buster’s Dad’
Steve Gwenin Surf Life Coach and 'Surf More Work Less' big kahuna interviews Martin Vogt about his surf life balance, creating time to do what you want out of life and generally being active in a busy world. We touch on real life challenges that happen along the way and its one of the best episodes we've had on this podcast and I enjoyed putting it together. Massive thanks to Steve Gwenin for letting me share this interview we recently did on his on platform.
The creative writing journey now ventures into script writing and joke telling, stupid stories and perspectives leading up to a live stand up routine in the not too distant future. Watch out for 'Absolute Madness' a variety music and comedy night planned 5th November 2022.
Well this is my creative journey and now includes a bit of my own comedy. So what I am not brave enough to do in front of a crowd, I've taken advantage of this podcast medium to relate a few of my own funny stories, alternative views. So I do hope you enjoy this very different Good Grief by Martin 100 Days & Beyond.
This is hopefully the start of another creative phase I am enjoying exploring. I open with a chat about creativity after trauma, my own creative journey and love of comedy and the writing process for stand up comedians. Plus big shout out to my band Little Pedro.

Episode 8. The end of Series 1. I talk about the podcast journey so far, the benefits of having a dog to get you through grief and a funny story about Buddy I hope that you enjoy.
In series 2 I will start chatting to other creative, funny and inspiring people and hopefully continue to stimulate you while I share my 100 day creative journey. Massive thankyou to everyone who took the time to listen.
Episode 7. The Creative Process and Kids Stories: How is it that an action, object or an idea can be processed so differently by one person to another, in this episode I discuss the pathway of a thought. Throughout Buster and Millie’s childhood a regular feature in the evening was the reading or telling of stories and a book that influenced a journey that lasted 7 years which evolved into ‘Jimmy and Mary Stories’ was the classic Enid Blyton’s book series of the Wishing Chair.
Episode 6. Surfing or Suicide: I’ve chosen surfing as my safe place to heal since Buster passed away. I’ve always loved the ocean and surfing is something that although I’m nothing special at have always enjoyed it. At the lowest point in our lives, I would often think that if there was a choice between calling it a day (suicide) or surfing, I would always choose to catch one more wave. Surfing isn’t for everyone but maybe it’s the therapeutic benefits of the ocean, the wide expansive horizon, and the fact that when you are in an open space that your body naturally reduces its stress levels. I know that they use surfing for veterans returning from active service to rehabilitate them, some with significant injuries and surfing produces very positive outcomes. Even as I am writing this its dawned on me that this could be a great project to kick off, for people going through what we’re going through. Surfing has been the most critical part of my recovery journey and healing.
Ep 5. Letter to Buster. This is probably the most important message I can give to parents, this episode is about how on Busters 14th birthday I wrote him a letter. Given Buster passed away 3 months later, this gave me the opportunity for complete closure and its without doubt one of the two most important decisions I have ever made as a parent. Around this age your kids are starting to go through puberty and start to distance them selves from their parents, they developed their own friend groups and whereas you were once their hero, now you’re their UBER driver.
The media tends to sensationalise tragedy, in this episode I explain what we did to change the way Busters passing was reported, I talk about Busters friends, his legacy and extreme kindness we've experienced from others since his passing 1/4/20. Massive thankyou to Denis and Tihana Simich of Pasta Addiction Fremantle, my lovely neighbours.

This is a 100 day audio project I call Good Grief, it'll give you insight into the journey we've had since the passing of my son Buster Vogt, how ironically creativity strikes when it does. this is not meant to be a heavy trip but for those who know us or someone who is experiencing the same sort of loss or tragedy, it may help you understand and connect better. In time we will also bring in other creative/ musical/ interesting guests that I know and we will inject some humour when the moment is right. This audio is all recorded in my 2004 VW T5 Transporter Van.
I’ve touched on the fact that this is a creative project, so I wanted to talk about some of my own creative endeavours and expand on my target community in Western Australia based around British Sub-culture and music. Over the course of these podcasts, I will keep coming back to my own connection with our audiences and I think the key is that many of these people are now wonderful acquaintances & friends who I love seeing. The connection since we lost Buster has increased and I often get messages from them checking in on me and my family and they like many others have shared our journey.
Why make a podcast ?
Grief generates the equivalent of PTS, it affects everything around how you function, process information and communicate with others. In this episode we offer a bit of an insight into the difficulty others have around people who have experienced loss, what its like to walk in someone’s shoes who has lost a child and ironically, through extreme grief how it opens up the door to unexpected flows of clarity, creativity and focus.
