The Bouncebackability Podcast
How to thrive not just survive in challenging times. Hosts Simon Ursell and Rusty Earnshaw talk to the change makers, leaders and mavericks in sport, business and beyond about what happens when we’re faced with tough challenges - and how to use these situations to challenge our thinking, resulting in more productive and rewarding outcomes.
Together with their guests, they’ll share their experiences and unpack how they have reacted to their biggest challenges, covering some enlightening topics such as:
👉 How the brain works when you are put under stress.
👉 How to get focused in a flow state to make good decisions.
👉 What people who thrive under stress think and do – and more.
