Kombisations with Pete

5minMonday 032 - URBNSURF Adventure

Its been a while, and this episode talks about my recent trip to URBNSURF Melbourne. Its a tough place to surf but you learn a lot about the technique of surfing and also how to be uncomfortable and nervous, and to overcome this to get the rewards at the end. Its not an inexpensive experience but is well worth the effort and my surfing has improved because of this experience.

George Hood: WR plank 10H 10M 10S: Live Life with Purpose

Goerge lives in the State of Miami, so this weeks podcast has only one of us in the kombi but lived up to all my expectations. George talks about the way he uses mind tricks to help him get distracted and pass time more quickly during his long planks. He's an ex Marine and DEA agent with a tendency to want to test the rules and make life a little more interesting. We finish off with a quick chat about COVID, the vaccines and of course TRUMP.

Heart Attacks: Nigel Ieraci was lucky to survive

An inspiring chat with Nige about the big challenges he has faced over the past 5 or 6 years and particularly how even the doctors are amazed he wasn't killed by the heart attack he endured, which included a full blockage of the LAD (widow maker). We talk about his divorce, his kids, the new love of his life and how none of these setbacks have stopped him from competing in Ironman triathlons with the long term goal still, of doing the iconic Hawaiian Ironman. Previous guest on the podcast, Matt White described Nige as one of the nicest guys you could meet, which I can confirm after our friendly and open chat. He rocked up to my beautiful Kombi "Ruby" and greeted me with a beaming smile and a warm handshake and this continued with a really open and warmly genuine kombisation.

HAWAIIN IRONMAN - Mark Kirtland

MASTERS OF CHANGE 28 * 16th APRIL 2024 Mark "Kirts" Kirtland joins me this week for my first official podcast conversation in Ruby, my adorable 1974 Kombi. We sat in Ruby at the beach here in South Australia, with the wind and waves in the background, and chatted for over an hour about Mark's incredible resilience and determination to overcome many health issues and injuries and achieve sporting and business success, but most importantly maintaining family balance. Kirts is a highly organised and driven man, and believes much of his success is due to good planning and a high level of resilience. I delve deep into this side of Kirts and he very genuinely and openly talks about is health issues as well as the amazing change to his life when he was reunited with his son.

MASTERS OF CHANGE 27 * 9th FEBRUARY 2024 Animal Doctor, Mountaineer, Waterman, Bagaule, Ironman: Brendan Batt is the latest guest on the podcast and he really is one of the most adventurous and passionate guest to have a chat on the Masters of Change podcast. We dive deep and talk about his heart attack that began at the start of his first ever triathlon, The Texas Ironman.
