That’s what we deliver with the show. Each and every week, we read a great non-fiction book and share the biggest lessons on our podcast.We started the show back in June 2016 with four listeners: Ashton, Jonesy, and our mums. We really didn’t know what we were doing, but we just decided to hit ‘record’, then 20 minutes later we hit ‘stop’ and uploaded it to share with the world. We learnt as we went, getting better with each episode, making gradual improvements over time. Today, we’re spending somewhere in the realm of a combined ~25-30 hours for every episode: reading, dissecting, taking notes, making episode plans, recording, editing, writing blog posts, publishing, and sharing.For two simple blokes who met while working behind the bar at a pub, we’ve been able to build an audience that listens to what we have to say, and we’ve met and interviewed some of our favourite authors and all-time heroes.And that&apos;s what has lead them to create their own book.In this episode, we talk about all things books and learning. I often get asked what books do I recommend, well this is an entire episode dedicated to that, featuring guys who have read a lot more than me. If you struggle reading this will be a great episode for you, and if you are looking for which books to read, this will be great for you also.Follow the boys: Website: https://www.whatyouwilllearn.com/The Book: https://www.whatyouwilllearn.com/theshit/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatyouwilllearn/Byron&apos;s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSign up to Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/DrivenYoung/GET A COPY OF MY BOOK: https://www.18andlost.com.au/Musical Insense: https://www.musicalincense.com/Sign up to Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/DrivenYoung/GET A COPY OF MY BOOK: https://www.18andlost.com.au/Musical Insense: https://www.musicalincense.com/ Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drivenyoung)

77. Australian Pro Surfer on Work Ethic and Looking After our Oceans

MASTER LINK: https://lu.ma/byrondempseyGet my Book!: https://www.18andlost.com.au/Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today is an amazing episode from Mr Gus Rowland.A compassionate bloke, Gus wears his heart on his sleeve. But that heart was shattered the day news arrived that Angus - his friend, mentor and father figure - had taken his life. Angus seemed to have it all – a beautiful family, home, great job, the respect and friendship of many. But he had something else too. Inner worries that were eating away at him. And he never told anyone about it. The stigma around masculinity stopped too many from reaching out and asking for help when life felt tough.Gus was driven to action. In 2016, he hosted three-part documentary series Man Up, lifting the lid on the relationship between masculinity, social isolation, mental health, and suicide.Now, who is Gus? Well, I feel like this quote sums him up... “I want a society where everyone has a Gotcha4Life Mate. That go-to person you can open up to and rely on about anything. A world where we can seek help when life gets challenging, where we can build open and honest relationships and feel comfortable expressing ourselves, no matter what. So no one has to worry alone”Gus is a father of three and runs the Gotcha4life foundation with one very specific goal. 0 suicides. In today&apos;s episode, we are talking about mental health and how you shouldn&apos;t fight this battle alone, why we need connections as humans and how you can start to build better connections with the people in your life.I really love this episode and I hope you do as well, if you enjoy it I&apos;d recommend checking out Gotcha4life, where you can nominate someone you have for life.Gothcha4life: https://www.gotcha4life.org/Byron&apos;s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drivenyoung)

Herd is a social space focused on community over comparison. By throwing out the social scale, empowering casual creativity, and providing experience autonomy, Herd aims to restore authentic expression. In an ecosystem that deprioritizes user well-being, Herd is the greener pasture; grown from honesty, empathy, respect, and discovery.I have been following them online for a while now, I always read the comments on their videos and it is incredible what they have been able to achieve.The startup space is incredibly difficult, especially for young women as you will hear us discuss, but it is even more difficult creating a social media app.In this episode we talk all things social media, why it is so addictive and harmful, the good and the bad, how to manage your relationship with it, how companies like Instagram are heading in the wrong direction, how the girls were able to start this company and the struggles they faced and much much more.Herd: https://www.theherdapp.com/Madi: https://www.instagram.com/madydewey/ Ali: https://www.instagram.com/alihowardd/Byron&apos;s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drivenyoung) Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drivenyoung)

73. Lost his Arms & Legs at 19 | Whats Your Excuse? with DJ Hookie

I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcasts explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in.
