Uncommon Courage
Welcome to Uncommon Courage, the podcast, where we’ll be having the conversations we need to be having as members of the human collective. We are all being called upon to step up and lead – with kindness, big hearts and unshakable courage – because right now, we have an opportunity to redress what we got wrong in the past, as well as deal with the disruptions we face today, to create a better world for all.
However, if we are completely truthful, the biggest challenge we face is believing we can do it – believing in our ability to create massive change. But everyone knows you can’t achieve anything significant without guts, determination, and of course, the courage to keep driving towards the goal, regardless of how hard the journey is!
Uncommon Courage will feature global conversations determined to contribute to creating a better future for all life on earth. Ideas, solutions, arguments and laughs - it’ll all be part of the journey. It is time for that which is uncommon to become common.

The Sh*t Show: can resilience be learned?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a commonly used criticism towards anyone who doesn’t agree with Trump’s agenda, but looking at what he’s doing right now, should TDS be targeted at those still fully aligned with him? Because right now, Asia is suffering immensely due to the war in Iran, we’ve heard rumblings Trump was looking for the nuclear codes (unproven but not unbelievable), and the WSJ reported he had such a mighty tantrum he was locked out of his own war room.
Times are tense for everyone everywhere, and added to this are the escalating warnings of a Godzilla El Niño, we saw New Zealand hammered by extraordinary floods, the UK is in mayhem about Mandelson (again), the ‘Rape Academy’ made front page news, the Druzbha oil pipeline is open again for business, the 90 billion Euro aid package for Ukraine is back on track, the AI backlash is growing, and the Nerd Reich is openly telling the world their intentions, with Palantir publishing a 22-point manifesto.
Because everything is so incredibly intense, we wanted to bring in a special guest who can help us with the mental and emotional load, answering the question – can resilience be learned? Apparently, it can, and we are delighted to welcome Dr Jane Tuomola, a highly experienced executive and team coach who integrates her clinical psychology experience with her work as a coach. She believes that a deep understanding of psychology is key to meaningful behavioural change, finding purpose, and creating lasting impact. Originally from the UK, Jane began her career as a clinical psychologist before relocating to Asia, and today, she serves as a trainer, coaching supervisor, and mentor coach for three globally accredited coaching schools.
Come and join us as we disentangle the complexity of this time, and with Jane, develop our resilience muscles while we’re doing it. It’s all happening, this Friday, 24th April 2026, at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we’d love your support.
The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world’s most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show.
