#370: Blow Your Own Trumpet & The Treasure Hunters Mindset
Welcome to Episode 370 of Energetic Radio, hosted by Dale Sidebottom and co-host Paul Campbell. This week's episode is all about celebrating small wins, cultivating gratitude, and becoming a treasure hunter in your personal and professional life.
Dale kicks things off with an energy boost after finally getting a good night's sleep and shares some personal wins, from writing 500 words a night to landing an exciting new partnership for the School of Play curriculum in 45 Mayfield Early Learning Centres across Australia. He gets candid about the pride of seeing his own kids benefit from the very programs he's built.
Paul jumps on the trumpet-blowing bandwagon by sharing his own fitness milestones, callisthenics progress, and moments of pure morning gratitude. Plus, the great budgie smuggler debate makes a return. What does swimwear have to do with motivation and progress? You'll have to tune in!
This episode also highlights the power of a positive mindset, featuring a simple yet powerful Mel Robbins quote: "One of the single greatest skills you need to develop in life is to have a good attitude for no reason." Dale and Paul dive deep into practical ways to train your brain for positivity, even when life throws curveballs.
They also introduce a game-changing approach for teachers, parents, and leaders, the Treasure Hunters mindset. Discover why shifting focus from labels to strengths helps both neurodiverse and neurotypical kids (and adults!) thrive.
