  • Summary

  • Join Melon, Mike and Raf in their effort to push back against the chaos of life. Join these three close friends, who engage in very real, very raw, and transparent conversations about work, love, family, and everything in between. Their goal is simple. Help everyone listening by learning from their mistakes and victories, because we’re in this together. All three, veterans of multiple Middle East combat tours, two as pilots, one as a Special Operations soldier. In lock step, they are making their own effort to create a framework for anyone looking to push back against the chaos and optimize their own lives. They don’t claim to have all the answers, but they are willing to share what has worked and what has not, during their journeys.

    PBC: 081 - Leadership- building and sustaining a Vision
    Aug 30 2024
    If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you. - Steve Jobs The term “vision” is thrown around a lot in the context of organisations and leadership. What is meant by this umbrella term? How important is it? How can we create a compelling and effective vision? How can this vision be sustained in the inevitable difficult times that will come to all of us? Mike and Melon are continuing their exploration of leadership- as it occurs in military aviation and special forces, as well as in families, sporting teams and community groups. This week they define vision- the overarching north star or reason for the organisation’s existence. It shouldn’t just shape strategies, but also the values and principles of the team that guide the way there. How can we build a vision that motivates and draws us forward effectively? How can we get buy in from the people in the team? Your team contend that there has to be an open forum, where a consensus can be formed together, and that achievable goals can be set. The difficult task of sustaining the vision when the chips are down is also covered. The example of Churchill during WW2 is offered- constant communication and reinforcement that serves to maintain the long term effort through the short term hardship. Join the conversation and let us know your experiences. How have you seen this done well? What insights can you offer? Where could we take this conversation next?

  • PBC: Ep 80 - Seasons of Leadership

    PBC: Ep 80 - Seasons of Leadership
    Aug 15 2024
    It’s been said that in life, we go through seasons. Seasons of growth, relationships, wealth, development, etc. What about leadership? Are there periods of our lives where leadership evolves? When do roles and responsibilities change? What and when are they? How will we know? In this week’s episode, Mike and Melon comb through the seasons of leadership. Using personal experiences, they equate the seasons to those of the world: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. They break down each, describe their characteristics, and how they assimilate to your position, discuss the “flags” that happen for you to realize the change is taking place, and then the importance of accepting the evolving change that is required for growth and not be so committed to never letting go of that season. Although everyone’s timeline is different and unique, it is healthy to have a good reference to utilize when trying to identify your “purpose” as a leader as you move throughout your career and family. Have you experienced this? Have you ever wondered “Am I supposed to keep doing this or is there something else I should be doing?” Does this example resonate or help you? Let us know! **We will be sharing a seasonal graph to cover the points made in this episode** Goals for 2024: -100 Ratings on Apple Podcasts -50 Written reviews on Apple Podcasts -500 followers on FB, IG & YouTube #PBC #PushingBackChaos #Podcast #HMG #HeroesMediaGrp #Veterans #goals #Transition #Military#Hobbies#Operationonceinalifetime #Adversity #StayPositive #Positivity #Struggle #Youcandothis #Priorities #leadership #Evolving Learn more about your ad choices.

  • PBC: 079 - Unity in divisive times

    PBC: 079 - Unity in divisive times
    Jul 18 2024
    Mike has deployed and Melon is doing his own training ahead of joining the team instructing Australian military pilots- so life has been very busy for your hosts. Both men have been practicing what they preach around focusing on basics and the individual pursuit of professional mastery as an essential precursor to then generate professional impacts in their work teams. A listener question is asked about dealing with disappointments. The discussion covers how we can find lessons and move forward after facing hard times individually. The conversations moves to the shocking recent political violence- the attempted assassination of former President Trump. This is a hugely divided time, and the enemies of western liberal democracies will be cheering on and encouraging that division wherever they can. Your hosts address concrete and actionable ways to foster unity as an antidote to this time of division and rift. With the right thinking, we can find our strength together and move forward.
