Keegan and Company

Charlotte Caslick has played three Olympic Games, two Commonwealth Games and three rugby World Cups, and the moment that shaped her wasn't a win. It was a friend texting her that young girls watch her play and think trying hard is cool, because she makes it look cool.
This week we sat down with Charlotte while she's pregnant with her first child and still training through it, broken Broncos and all. We talked about the season she debuted out of position and cried at training while secretly hoping to fall pregnant, the leg break that took the World Cup and the pregnancy off the table in the same week, finding a new sense of purpose before she'd stopped playing, and the one line she posted after Paris that ended up in the New York Times. Full episode out now.

A quick glance at your phone doesn't cost you ten seconds. The research says it costs you closer to twenty three minutes of real focus. This week is a solo one on the psychology of monotasking, doing one thing at a time, and why it might be the most underrated upgrade for anyone who works, writes, studies or creates.
Keegan makes the case for single focus over the constant juggle, and he's honest that he's a recovering serial multitasker himself. He gets into why boredom is the engine of creativity, the real cost of switching between tasks, what putting headphones in on a hard run is actually doing, and the weekend his phone broke that left him calmer than he'd been in a long time. It is not about optimising every second of your life. It is about knowing when to give one thing everything you've got.

Oliver Foran just set the world record from Sea Level to Summit of Mount Everest: travelling from the coast of India to the summit of Mount Everest under his own power. 50 days, for youth mental health, and for his mum.
He is a self-described normal bloke from Brisbane who lost his mum to brain cancer at 16 and bottled it for eight years. This year he cycled across India in 42 degree heat, broke down on day four, and found the one lesson that got him up the mountain. We talk about the avalanche that buried his tent, crevasses 30 metres deep, a blood oxygen reading of 47 (anything under 80 is considered deadly), standing on top of the world, and what is next...
This episode touches on grief, mental health and suicide. If anything lands close to home, support is available. Lifeline 13 11 14. 13YARN 13 92 76.

Do you spend more than two hours a day on social media? I know I sure do sometimes. The reality is those of us who do are three times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. In this episode we break down some simple steps to claw some of that time back.
In this solo Psychology Of episode we break down the psychology of doomscrolling. It starts with a TED talk from the three founders of the Minimalists, who built an audience of four million people and then quit social media completely for twelve months, and the surprising thing they realised on the other side of it. From there I walk through my three favourite tools, the ones I've put in place that actually stuck, the comparison trap of social media, and why none of this is actually about quitting - completely.

This week we sat down with Adam Elliott. He signed his first NRL contract at 14 and has played nearly 200 games since.
Last year tested all of it. His dad died of cancer. His partner was pregnant, his bicep was ruptured, his contract was up, and for the first time in a career that started as a teenager, people were openly questioning whether he could still play. So he leant in, kept putting in the work on his own, and landed a spot at South Sydney under Wayne Bennett. Despite all the challenges reckons he has never felt more grateful for what footy has given him.
We get into the last conversations he had with his dad and the words his old man left him with, what it actually takes to keep going when the doubt is loudest, the dinner-plate trick he uses to stay a present father, why he still writes things down, and the moment his brother James became part of the team.
