The Seagull`s Podcasts

Blog

I was recently contacted to do two, yes TWO podcasts within 24hrs.

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something”. Plato

I’m an avid podcast listener, the learning potential they offer is immense.  I also really enjoy learning about other people’s life stories, what has made them the person they have become today.  

What’s on The Seagull`s podcast library?

Some of my ‘must listen’ podcasts that I currently subscribe to include:
  • The School of Greatness by Louis Howes.
  • The GaryVee Audio Experience by Gary Vaynerchuk
  • Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur by Brian Lofrunento
  • Location Indi podcast by Travis Sherry and Jason Moore


I encourage everyone to dive into the world of podcasts and expand your knowledge base.  

The Seagull Squawks: podcasts

I am a public speaker, a motivator and a leader. I love the excitement of being in front of an audience, engaging them as I speak. When I was contacted by ‘Raise The Bar Radio’ asking if I wanted to do a Seagull Podcast I jumped at the chance to experience a different way of sharing my story.

Then within 24hrs I was contacted again to do another Seagull Podcast, this time by Frankston Toastmasters Club.

Two in 24hrs!  A great opportunity for the Seagull to Squawk and I ain’t afraid of doing that.

How can you listen to the Seagull`s podcasts?

Seagull Podcast 1: Raise The Bar Radio 


Podcast Episode #57 – The Ultra Running Man

Raise The Bar Radio podcast is hosted by Nick Scott, owner of Langwarrin Crossfit. I attend Langy cross fit many years ago before I became a Personal Trainer and set up my own gym. Nick got in touch after he had been contacted by a couple of people who had put my name forward as a potential guest for his podcast. It had been mentioned I was a ‘crazy ultra trail runner’ and leader of a local trail running group with a great life story to tell, so he said he had to get me on.

Their bio reads “Fitness and Conversation, Incredible collaboration with leaders of our industry. Travel along as we go down the road of discovery and development’  

Fitness ✓ Conversation ✓ Leader ?? of course I am

"Johnny Horrocks is an incredible character. This show bounces all around the place just like Johnny’s personality. He is pure passion and chases down any idea that comes to him. Johnny’s story is one of rebirth and reset. How to dust yourself off and continue to move forward, both physically and spiritually. We go from Manchester dance music in the 80’s to Ultra Marathon running in the trails of Victoria. This episode was full of so many surprises. He is full of quirkiness and truly knows how to live a life of authenticity."

Seagull Podcast 2: Toastmasters Club 


Podcast Episode #3 – A Chat With Johnny

I am a member of Frankston Toastmasters Club. In fact as of 1 July 2019 I’ll be the President of the club. The idea of me doing a podcast was talked about during previous club meetings but a date was never finalised. So the timing was perfect, to have a Seagull podcast live before I took up office.

Frankston Toastmasters Club help you to learn the art of public speaking, listening, communicating, leadership and much, much more. I’ve learnt so much whilst I have been a member and strongly recommend you join your local club if public speaking interests you or its required as part of your work.
