The Christian O’Connell Show

Christian O'Connell's show is back, and today's topic is all about the power of names and their influence on our careers. Christian shares a fascinating theory called nominative determinism, where our names can actually shape our job choices. He's got a load of emails from listeners who've noticed this phenomenon in their own lives. Also joining the show is Ben Crowe, a mindset coach who's worked with top athletes like Ash Barty, and they dive into the importance of perspective and play in achieving success.

Christian and the team kick off a big morning with world class mindset coach and storyteller Ben Crowe, the man behind Ash Barty, Steph Gilmore and other elite performers. Across an honest, funny and disarmingly deep chat, Ben unpacks what a mindset coach actually does, why we’re so distracted by things we can’t control, and how he helps people shift from “human doing” to human being. He explains the ancient but practical principles behind his new book and Mojo app, and why stories, not self help theory, are the most powerful way we learn and change.​
From Ash Barty learning to separate her ranking from her self worth, to Andre Agassi and Tiger Woods, to hospital teams and students, Ben shares real examples of how reframing identity, worthiness and potential can transform performance and happiness. Christian also dives into Ben’s idea of our “natural play state”, the five feelings that define it, and how getting back to playful, carefree curiosity can help with everything from Grand Slam finals to launching a national radio show.​

Post long weekend, things get absolutely wild. First up: the giveaway nobody saw coming. Christian reflects on the Cabanas he never expected anyone to want, only to discover they’re the most popular item the show has ever given away. Emails at 2 a.m., desperate pleas from listeners, and complete chaos ensue leaving Christian stunned and declaring, “I’ve never known anything like it.”
Then, the conversation takes a very different turn. Christian shares a story that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe double-check your own knowledge of the law. While at the beach, he witnessed something completely shocking and, in classic Christian fashion, admits he didn’t even know it was illegal.

It’s a full blown vent session as Christian and the team open the floor to the small, petty, and surprisingly rage inducing things that make everyday life unbearable. From minor inconveniences to inexplicable human behaviour, this is the stuff that shouldn’t matter… but absolutely does.
Cathartic, relatable, and guaranteed to make you say, “YES.. that!”
