Gunter is going to dive a little deeper into the power literature in storytelling and how it affects us as a society and the world around us: "The Power of Storytelling Navigating Change with Mountains of the Sea," Mountains of the Sea is Gunters  historical novel., It is getting a new look and publishing deal soon through Bonfire Cinema. It has been praised by The New York Times  as - "Visually enticing, with a very masculine, but fractured lead character trying to find his way.…keeps you engaged all the way to the last page.”About Mountains of the Sea - After accidentally shooting an army recruiter, Walter Beaumont is forced to flee England and finds himself on the HMS Resolution, Captain James Cook's ship of exploration to the South Seas. On board he befriends Omai, a Tahitian navigator who takes Walter under his wing. A fish out of water, Walter Beaumont struggles with the Spartan conditions of seafaring, eventually falling ill with consumption. James Cook, knowing that Walter would never survive the rigors of the Northern Pacific and the Bearing Straights, is forced to leave the young man and Omai behind in the newly discovered Hawaiian Islands. Recovering his health, his hopes of returning to England are shattered by the news that Captain Cook has been killed and the Resolution has returned to England without him. Determined to make the most of his fate and intrigued by the Hawaiian culture and their close relationship with the ocean, Walter tries to adapt as best as he can. In a rite of passage that sees him transverse the globe and face the uncertainties of being a stranger in a strange land, Walter Beaumont well and truly rises to the challenge. It is quite literally a watershed of epic proportions, where faces the many moods of an ocean culture that is the center of the Hawaiian world. Together with his Tahitian friend, Omai, his teacher Kanoa, and his newly found love, Lani, he comes face to face with political intrigue, war, and the most enigmatic experience for an English aristocrat, that of riding the giant swells of Hawai'i.Do you want to Inspire Change?

Gunter and Karen will dive into a conversation on how stories shape us and the world around us.  Karen’s mission, is to smash the perception of ageing and inspire over 50s to live a healthier, happy active life, this has led to her expertise being sought out by major media houses across the country, including Macquarie, Fairfax and News Corp, and working with media identities such as Dr Ross Walker, Tim Webster, Suzy Yates and Larry Emdur. Karen also believes in the power of Storytelling. “Storytelling is what makes us human. We are the only living creature who has the ability to communicate through stories. Storytelling can foster inclusion and connection to others, build personal confidence and bring about change in our communities.” In response to this she founded The Story Room Event Series.  “Stories bring communities together, creating a sense of belonging among those who may think they have nothing in common with others. The experience is uplifting for the storyteller and the audience." For more info on Karen Sander and The Storyroom visit: https://www.karensander.comDo you want to Inspire Change?

This week on Inspire Change with Gunter...is a wrap up of sorts. Yes, its that time of the year where we have reached the finale of our remarkable SEASON 5. Gunter reflects, recounts, thank yous and leads the conversation on a note of changes, challenges we faced and overcame, some fantastic guests we had and some return guests that we like to say are friends of the podcast. We soared past over 200 episodes, we hit great stats because our podcast has reached past 10k downloads per episode per week and now we are truly global as we have landed listeners on all continents. Well, with the exception of Anarctica (but you know me as a producer and showrunner, I'll find a way to reach those scientists and researchers there 😉)Our home network iHeartMedia/Spreaker has renewed us for not just a season 6, but a season 7! There is still so much work to do, but thank you to all our listeners in Australia, USA where we are in the top 10 in the mental health podcast/broadcast space, but together we are creating a better community and world...an ecosystem of truly inspiring change.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter brings in a very special and inspiring guest to the podcast, Dominic Lynch. Dominic Lynch lives on Sydney's Northern Beaches with his wife and 18-year-old twins. He embraces the environment in which he lives and having hung up his rugby boots after 25 years, he took up surf boat rowing and mountain biking and remains an active surf lifesaver. His professional career has seen him work in the engineering and construction industry in Australia and overseas. He is a genuine blokes’ bloke.In December 2022, Dominic received a life-changing cancer diagnosis. Not only did this have a huge impact on him and his family, but it also clearly shook those around him, particularly his male peers, to whom he had always been a pillar of strength. Despite his diagnosis and ongoing treatment, Dominic has learned to face his vulnerabilities, maintain a positive outlook on life, and to appreciate the beauty in the simple things that often pass us by in the busyness of daily life. He has become passionate about understanding his personal journey and embracing the powerful connection between a positive mindset and the human body.Connect online and socially with Dominic at: https://www.facebook.com/dominic.lynch.7And when you get a moment, please check out his credits and work here: www.IradEshel.comAlso Check out Gunter, the Making Good Men Great Movement, his books and the podcast feature in Variety, New York Times, Hollywood Reporter and here in the lifestyle section of Podcast Park https://lifestyle.thepodcastpark.com/story/48663818/gunter-swobodas-debut-historical-novel-mountains-of-the-sea-about-masculinity-surfing-and-a-privileged-aristocrat-learning-to-adapt-is-criticallyMake sure you also check out Gunter's 5 Things to get Satisfaction video on #Buzzfeed today: https://www.buzzfeed.com/miranda10/gunter-swobodaas-5-things-to-get-satisfaction-5aerlsc57mAnd there is more: In an interview in Authority Magazine/Thrive with Drew Gerber, Gunter shares why so many of us are feeling unsatisfied & what we can do about it.

His remarkable journey continues to unfold, educating and inspiring others.Next is Christine Contini, whom I actually have had the pleasure of meeting a few years go at Book Expo & BookCon.
