The Unforgiving60

De : Ben Pronk DSC & Tim Curtis
  • Résumé

  • Two ex-special operations guys armed with MBAs seek out people leading lives less ordinary, in order to find out how they fill their ‘unforgiving minutes’, and what helps them go, always, a little further. Like intellectual bowerbirds, we collect shiny little objects of knowledge that will help build better humans. Co-hosted by Ben Pronk and Tim Curtis.

    • S5E15 – Leigh Anderson: The Paramedic Mindset
      Sep 9 2024

      We first had the privilege of meeting Leigh Anderson on the 2022 Resilience Retreat and have been stoked to stay in touch from there – particularly so given the recent publication of his book, ‘The Paramedic Mindset’. In this episode, Leigh talk with us about that book, as well as his 14+ years as a paramedic. Leigh discusses the ups and downs of the role including not only the amazing lifesaving assistance he has provided on countless occasions, but also those rare moments when his best wasn’t good enough. Along the way, he’s developed some impressive practical tools for grappling with pressure, trauma and failure, which he shares with us as well.

      06:00 Leigh’s backstory – paramedicine via a close brush with professional rugby league!

      11:15 Ben reveals his ignorance and asks ‘what exactly is a paramedic?!’

      15:30 The human side of paramedicine

      17:20 What DON’T you learn at paramedic school?!

      19:20 What technique does Leigh recommend to stay calm and think clearly during high stress situations?

      23:20 How partners can assist in high pressure situations

      29:00 The (often unspoken) excitement of a really nasty job…and how paramedics can deal with continued exposure to trauma

      34:00 An alternate (and brilliant) definition of success

      37:00 Dealing with failure – and growth from trauma

      40:00 The perils of role/identity fusion within paramedicine

      46:00 Leigh’s experience on the 2022 Resilience Retreat (on a related note, sign up now for the 2024 Resilience Retreat – 24-27 Oct 2024 in the Gold Coast hinterland!)

      48:15 How does Leigh put trauma behind him?

      52:00 What is Leigh’s powersong?! (Maybe not what you’d expect – check it out!)

    • S5E14 – Kat Rae: On Art, Soldiering and Creativity Through Loss
      Jul 25 2024

      Kat Rae is an artist who works across an incredible variety of media. Her confronting work, Deathmin, was recently recognised as winner of the 2024 Napier Waller Art Prize and represents the fourth time Kat has been shortlisted for this prestigious award. In this podcast, Kat talks about her artistic journey, including her first career within the Australian Army during which time she met her husband Andrew.

      48:00 How did it feel to win on her fourth submission?

      51:00 With all that she’s experienced – positive and negative – how does Kat now feel when she looks at the Australian Army?
