The Shy Guys

This time on The Shy Guys we speak to another close friend about their fitness journey. Steven Stamopoulos was 170 kg when he realised his innate dissatisfaction with himself and his life. With sheer effort and some important mentorship he got to where he is today - 85 kg and smiling. Listen in for his story and advice he'd give to others looking to get fitter, become more confident and live happier.

Are you a creative person in a not-so-creative job and feel like you’re destined for more? How do you utilise your inner artist to succeed in the corporate world? We interview Georgina Lee, the Head of Growth and Experience for the career consulting business of a global management consulting firm. Georgina started off as an actuarial analyst looking at spreadsheets every day while pursuing her aspirations as an artist on the side. Eventually, she was able to combine her creative and logical strengths to excel in her career - this is her story.

How can rejection - something many of us find so difficult to deal with, but encounter so often - be something that we can learn and draw from to increase our future success? How can simply asking for something, or simply asking "why?", lead to the creation of boundless possibilities and experiences? We explore these questions - and a little more - in this episode of The Shy Guys: "The Fear of Rejection". Enjoy!

We’ve just uploaded Episode 2 - The Power of Vulnerability! Check it out on Spotify or iTunes. The Shy explore what it means to be vulnerable and the common misconceptions of vulnerability. We delve into ways we can become more vulnerable, not only with others, but with yourself. Vulnerability is scary, but we believe it is the key to healthy relationships, growth and self-compassion.

Please let us know what you think!
