Player 1 podcast

Gizzie is currently travelling Australia in a van (Olly) with his partner (Romy) and details the plan moving forward, plus dives into DAO's - Decentralised Autonomous Organisations - and the future of the Metaverse.

It's no secret that the Metaverse will provide A LOT of opportunity for gaming, business and social interaction. BUT it can also have some profound negative effects on the human brain and physical world.

In this episode I cover the 3 evolutions of artificial intelligence:  ANI - AGI and ASI. As well as explain how it works and where it's going.
Plus some very concerning ethical questions that we must start asking ourselves NOW!

The world as we know it is about to change forever..
In this episode Josh explains what the 'Metaverse' is and the technology around it, the key players involved, how the metaverse will shape each industry, the positives and negatives and of course; how YOU can benefit from all of this.

Josh gives a quick and simple explanation that will give you a better understanding of the terminology and technologies that control the current hype of Doge coin, Crypto Punks, Pudgy Penguins, Pet Rocks that are being sold for millions of dollars.

I can't even explain how good this felt to get off my chest and I think I spoke for the majority of us that feel the same way about lockdowns.
We're tired of living in uncertainty and not being able to plan anything in the near future.
Never forget that none of this is normal and we're not suppose to be living like this. Time is always passing and we need to live life on our terms no matter what. You are Player 1

Mark is a holistic breathing coach with a larger than life personality and an important message to spread.
In this episode we have a real talk about the power of being truly vulnerable, the lost right of passage, eldership, being your authentic self and the everlasting aura boras of life.

Enjoy the mental upgrade!

Tiiki Tribe was the first company Sem and Josh launched at 18 and 19 years old. Working at a warehouse during the night and growing a healthy meal delivery company during the day wasn't something we anticipated, but like most things we dove straight into it.
In this episode we go through the backstory of how we founded the company, trials and tribulations, mistakes made and lessons learned. But most importantly, how we got to where we are and where we're going next.

We've been speaking a lot about this mindset of setting a small goal for yourself and not stopping until you complete it. This can be as simple as landing a bottle flip, jumping and touching the back board, 100 push ups in a minute, etc. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it challenges you and you complete it. So we've decided to turn it into an official challenge! #Player1challenge

Here's how it works:
- Film yourself committing to ANY challenge you set for yourself
- It must be challenging enough that you fail the first few attempts
- Show us the raw emotion of struggle and of achievement
- Tag us with #Player1challenge

Lachie is a BJJ black belt and Australia's first ADCC medalist. His success has a lot to do with his analytical approach to formulate his gameplan, as well as understanding his own characters strengths, weaknesses and competition fuel. This mindset is also used in his own personal life when it comes to dealing with setbacks (like covid19) business goals and study.
Giles also talks on the moment he realised his world class potential and how that boosted his success. A true Player 1.

What does isolation 2.0 mean to you? How you react to this question says a lot about the habits you are building within your life. 

If you all you see is inconvenience and hardships then not only are you missing the point, you're building some detrimental habits.
Instead choose a mindset of positivity, opportunity and growth. This is what separates you from the pack and gets you closer to the more effective and successful version of yourself.
