Mojo Crowe Originals

In this episode of Car Chats, we go for a ride with Naomi Shepherd - one of the most senior leaders at Meta, mother of 3, and someone I’ve personally been lucky enough to work with since…2018. Throughout our drive we discuss her leadership journey, both as a parent and business leader, in particular the importance of how she’s come to terms with leading herself before leading others. We also chat about her perspective on life and love, and the realities of juggling all parts of life, ‘plate spinning’ as she calls it. And we also chat about how she incorporates a sense of playfulness into her parenting style - including a fictional character ‘Trevor’ she’s created for her kids. Car Chats with Crowey is a series where we learn from others’ stories and their own hero’s journey over a chat, coffee and the ‘safest’ car ride in the world… psychological safety that is.

With millions of leadership books out there it can be difficult to find the right definition of what makes a good leader or what leadership even is. But one thing we do know is, that when someone finally learns the formula for leadership they often say “Ohhhh… so that’s a leader!” In this episode, we simplify what makes a great leader and let go of this mythical hero-type leader, or thinking it’s about ourselves, as opposed to the impact we can have on others.

We went for a ride with Michael Cassel, producer and CEO of the Michael Cassel Group - the team behind many incredible theatre productions such as Hamilton, The Lion King, Les Miserables and Pricilla Queen of the Desert… just to name a few! Throughout our drive, we discuss the power of dreams and how they shaped his career path- when he applied for his first job at the age of 12. We also chat through the struggles the performing arts industry faced throughout the pandemic, and how he lead and managed an international team of actors and actresses through this by controlling the controllables. Lastly, he shares with us his best advice to help us remove fear and pressure in an audition (job interviews), the dangers of identity and the importance of separating what you do from who you are and your self worth from your job title - a not so easy task when your name is in fact the company name.

In this episode, we catch up with Michael Hooper, captain of the Australian Rugby team, the Wallabies. After taking some time off towards the end of 2022 to focus on his mental health, Michael takes us through the continuous journey he is on as a leader, father, husband and rugby player. We chat through his definition of success, advice he’d give his younger self, and how he’s reframed one of the hardest moments of his life as ‘one of the best things that happened to him’.

We went for a ride with one of the very first athletes to complete the Mojo Mindset Course, Freestyle Mogul Skiing Olympic Gold Medalist, Jakara Anthony. We discussed the challenges she faced the year following her Olympic success, how she overcame these challenges, and how she looks back on that chapter as one of the hardest things she’s had to go through - but in doing so, unlocked one of her core values: courage.

One of the reason Play is misunderstood is because of the way we define it. Somewhere in the process of growing up, we may have become unconsciously serious and lost our interpretation of what it actually means to play and to be more playful. In this episode, we explore how we define Play at Mojo and how it might just be the missing ingredient for those of us looking for a little more perspective. Ready to do the work?

In this episode of Car Chats, we went for a ride with Kath Koschel - Founder of The Kindness Factory, and author of the incredible book called Kindness. If you could put someone’s picture next to adversity in the dictionary, it might just be Kath’s. Within the space of 5 years, she broke her back twice, nearly had one of her legs amputated and experienced the loss of her partner. But despite all that, Kath has found a way to use her story and inspire others to go on their own kindness journeys.

Our first ever guest on Car Chats with Crowey, Greta Bradman is the ultimate human-doing. However along our journey together, we discover what really lights her up as a human-being. We get an insight into her A Game - which involves performing on top (as opposed to inside) the Sydney Opera House, and the words she uses to describe herself at her best. Greta then assists Crowey in his pursuit of taking up singing lessons, all while discussing the power and connection that music brings to the world.

Confidence is a little like oxygen, when you’ve got it you don’t think about it, until you don’t have it anymore, and then it’s kind of all you can think about. And in some cases it’s a little hard to explain, let alone find. It’s just something we know we’ve lost. In this episode, we discuss the 2 types of confidences we work on at Mojo - confidence in self and confidence in performance and what we can do to unlock both.

The Hero’s Journey might be one of the most important themes we’ve ever covered in Mojospresso, because it's one of the most powerful frameworks to help us all navigate this crazy thing called life right now. The whole idea of the Hero’s Journey is that it’s the real story of life - or the "no-filters" experience of being alive, struggles and all. We’re born, we pass through childhood to the messiness of adolescence, eventually being spat out into adulthood where we face more internal and external conflicts on the next round of adventure. Because these patterns are so recurring, the Hero’s Journey framework can be an incredibly powerful tool for us to navigate change and uncertainty. And when we can move through each of the 3 Chapters, we can come to terms with who we are, what we're made of, and what we're here to do in this weird and wonderful world.

While almost all of our work at Mojo Crowe is counter-intuitive, the theme of Play might just be the most counter-intuitive theme of all. Out of Mojo’s 3 P’s (Play, Purpose & Potential) for finding more motivation and flow in our lives, Play is probably the most misunderstood. One of the reasons Play is misunderstood is the way we define it. Somewhere in the process of ‘growing up’ we may have become unconsciously serious and lost our familiarity or interpretation of what it actually means to play and to be more playful. In this episode, we explore how we define Play at Mojo and how it might just be the missing ingredient for those of us looking for a little more perspective right now.
