STRONG MENTAL HEALTH STARTS WITH GOOD BRAIN HEALTH. There is much written about mental health but not a lot written about brain health. Yet mental health is driven by brain health. In this fascinating conversation we delve into the relationship between brain health and how that impacts our mental health. Dr Steven Storage works at the renowned Amen Clinics, Inc. with Dr Daniel Amen, where his areas of clinical expertise include child/adolescent and adult general psychiatry, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD and bipolar spectrum disorders. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, magna cm laude with a degree in molecular and cell biology. Prior to joining Amen Clinics, Dr Storage was a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at USC. He published several peer-reviewed articles on neuroimaging of psychiatric disorders, the effects of substance use on the brain, anxiety, and the effects of social media on mental health. We've already received a lot of great feedback on this important conversation, so if you know someone struggling with their mental health, this may help.

"No time for me", it's a common refrain. "Not enough time, a lack of time, too much else to do, can't find time". This conversation is absolutely for you. It will help! Laura Vanderkam is a successful author of many time-management and productivity books and a mother of 5 children. Laura's work has appeared in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and Fortune. Many have an adversarial relationship with time, constantly trying to beat the clock, issues rooted in a fear that time is scarce and must be obsessed over, hoarded, and ultraoptimized. What if there is a different way to view time? One that could make our hours feel abundant. We break down Laura's new book, 'Big Time. A Simple Path to Time Abundance', in which she shares how we can have more than enough time to advance our careers, relationships, hobbies, and health, be a mum to five kids, and more, simply by changing our approach, systems and mindset to time.

Who are we without our memory? How much importance do you place on the health of your memory, and can we strengthen it to ensure we don't lose it? Nelson Dellis is one of the world's leading memory experts, having won the USA Memory Championships 6 times and earned the title of elite Grandmaster of Memory. He is also a successful mountaineer and Alzheimer's disease activist. Nelson was born with an average memory. Inspired by the passing of his grandmother from Alzheimer's disease, he started training his memory so that he could keep his mind strong and healthy throughout his lifespan. In a short time, he became one of the world's leading competitive memorisers. Memory is such a critical element of our identity and one that needs to be recognised, systematised and practised. ​For Australians, this is an important show... Alzheimer's disease/dementia is the leading killer in our country. Hear the full conversation with Nelson on The Mojo Sessions.

We all know someone who could see no way out. We've all had that day when we hated ourselves. This is an essential conversation. Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the author of I Hate Myself. Recognised for his extensive work in the treatment of mood and personality disorders in adolescents, Blaise tackles the often-ignored issue of self-hatred, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short where self-hatred has become part of a person's identity. Former guests Melli O'Brien and Dr Abbie Maroño shared incredible stories of self-loathing. This conversation sounds heavy, but I can assure you, stay with me; this is a cracking conversation that we can all benefit from. Hear Dr Aguirre at https://shorturl.at/6BYpZ.

Many of us have been led to believe that resilience is about doing hard things. Getting uncomfortable. Putting on a ruck in the rain, having ice baths, tolerating Mother Nature's conditions and lifting heavy stuff. It is all those things, and at the same time, perhaps there's a more gentle approach to resilience. There's somebody in hospital right now who is in pain but bearing up. There's a company owner who's taken a hard knock but needs to stand in front of their team and keep them in the game. There's somebody who's gone through the heartbreak of a breakup, and they still need to front each morning for their children and then go to work, present in the boardroom, and do it all again tomorrow with a brave face. Resilience has many faces and I think that's what I like about Melli O'Brien. Melli wrote ‘Deep Resilience: A Four-Step Journey to Unshakable Inner Strength,’ giving us a step-by-step guide to navigating life’s challenges. The book is for those who might feel overwhelmed by life’s whirlwind pace, crave calm, and seek the strength to build confidence. In 2025, Mindful magazine named Melli one of the most powerful women in the mindfulness movement. Melli's journey has not been easy; she has experienced the loss of two family members and a divorce, and when she lost another family member while running a business, each blow took a toll on her, leading to physical and mental symptoms that resulted in chronic illness. However, this challenging period ultimately brought about significant insights for Melli.

"Best interview ever" listener comment. On the outside, we see a lawyer with the external trappings of success, the office, the suit, the watch, the car, the home and assume they have the perfect life. Right? But often, behind the armour, it's a different story. Hi I'm Judd Judd Shaw, lawyer/CEO of Judd Shaw Injury Law chased success as a lawyer and made it to the top of the hill only to discover its hollow rewards. Judd went to a really dark place. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of genuine human connections in our lives. He had it all going on from the outside, but under his armour, things were very dark, as you will hear. Judd's perspective on developing company culture is a master class on building something special.

Regardless of your position in a company, each one of us has an impact on the brand, let alone your own personal brand. ​However, the marketing game has changed; well, the fundamentals of the brand are the same, but how we express it has changed in many ways. Billy Broas author of 'Simple Marketing for Smart People' outlines the playbook we didn’t know we needed. Billy has a thoughtful, educated approach to marketing ourselves or our company brand that demystifies the complex and often misunderstood world of selling or creating perception with no shortcuts or tricks. Even the brand gurus out there might find some gold here. Hear Billy at https://shorturl.at/KVaIi or search The Mojo Sessions on your fav pod player.

Understanding twentysomethings as a company owner, C-suite Executive, parent, or leader is a hot topic. I get asked a lot while speaking, what do we do?

So many twentysomethings are struggling with anxiety and depression, and this conversation about The Twentysomething Treatment explores why and unveils a ground-breaking approach that prioritises skills over pills.
