The Kiwi Physio Behind Noah Lyles & Jamaican Bobsledders – Dr Jo Brown
Dr Jo Brown is a low key legend, a Kiwi who has reached the top of her field on the global stage.She has been the physiotherapist and performance coach for some of the biggest sports names on the planet, including Noah Lyles, Yohan Blake and Megan Tapper, NBA players, Professional football players, Australian Olympic teams and even the Jamaican bobsled team (Cool Runnings 2).One thing that was consistent with the track n field stars she worked with is that Jo was the last person everyone wanted to see before they went out on track. She has this gift, where she holds space, has their back and instills belief in people.In this episode we talk about being 'more than a physio', self awareness, the truth about high performance athletes, working with Noah Lyles and Jamaica's best sprinters and tall poppy syndrome in NZ.Dr. Jo also tragically lost her sister a few years ago when she was trying to save her children at a beach in Hawkes Bay. The children survived, but jo's sister, Amy, tragically drowned and we address how she got through her most difficult moments.She recently released the book "See Your Elephant". It goes deep into the blind spots, limiting beliefs and handbrakes that hold people back in life.We're also super stoked to have Dr. Jo on the books of B2B Speakers, so if you’d like her to share her story at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.This episode is brought to you by TAB, download the new app today and get your bet on.Between Two Beers is now part of the Acast Creator Network, listen wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on YouTube.Enjoy.

“How Do We Stop Seamus Leaving?” - Confronting our Blind Spots & Business Fears (Accidental Business Owners #19)
Hey team, welcome to the latest episode of Accidental Business Owners.The premise of the show is that last year Seamus and I became fulltime business owners. We left our 9-5s to go all in on the podcast - and the other businesses we built off the back of it – and thought it would be interesting to document our journey.Last year we also started working with a business and mindset coach Di Foster, who you might remember as a B2B guest, and quickly realized she was the perfect foil to help us work through all the highs and lows of running a business.In this episode we talk about being overwhelmed, why its ok, how we can manage it better, and why we can't always be in control.Hope you enjoy.Big thanks to our partners, Binance New Zealand.

Ali was one of NZ’s most high profile broadcasters and journalists for more than two decades and worked for One News, Breakfast, Fair Go, Seven Sharp, Radio Live, Close up and many more.In this episode we talk about her rise to the top of NZ Media and all of the twists and turns along the way, getting made redundant five times and how she kept bouncing back, why her relationships became front page news of every media outlet, working with Paul Holmes, Mike Hosking, Paul Henry and Willie Jackson, leading the charge on NZ's MeToo movement - and what she’s doing now.We also talk in detail about her new book No Words for This, where she talks for the first time about the monster that haunted her childhood. As young girls, Ali and her sister were sexually abused by their father on multiple occasions, and it’s revealed in the book that he also repeatedly raped his grandson. It’s a shocking, and confronting story that is told with the hope of helping others.Ali's story is complex and powerful and she does such a great job of articulating it. And she is brilliant company, warm fun and engaging.And a content warning: This episode deals with sexual abuse and may not be suitable for all listeners. Hosted on Acast.
