Christian O'Connell is the only breakfast radio host to have a #1 hit show in 2 countries: the UK and Australia. Today he hosts Australia's first National Breakfast show. Once described as "furiously funny" by the UK Times, Christian dominated the UK airwaves for 20 years, with a huge daily breakfast audience of 2 million. Then he quit, moved to Australia to host The Christian O'Connell breakfast Show on Melbourne's GOLD104.3, and it was a disaster, starting a story of darkness, anxiety, self-doubt, loathing, humour, self-discovery, and finally victory. We discuss his new book, 'Unscript: The Radical Act of Being Yourself'. It's a book about disregarding the script and reclaiming who you are.

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 and mindset to time.   LINKS   Laura's website https://lauravanderkam.com   Laura's new book on Amazon Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

Andrew Nunn is a mentalist who explores how perception, pressure, and hidden assumptions shape our decision-making. Rather than offering generic mindset advice, Andy shows how intelligent people get fooled by their own thinking — often in real time. On stage as a behavioural keynote speaker, through what seems to be live mind-reading and behavioural insight, Andy is able to demonstrate how failure reshapes belief, how perception distorts reality, and how the stories in our heads quietly shape what we do. In his own life, he was able to move from a place of addiction to running some of the world's most challenging ultramarathons. Andy doesn't just teach mindset; he shows us how we fall for constructs and how our minds and perceptions actually work.    LINKS   Andy's website www.andrewnunn.com   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.
