On The Mike - Josh Reid Jones Podcast with Mike Goldman

I travelled to Sydney to have a chat with my mate Mike.

Chatting all things Just Be Nice Project, looking after each other, and some other more personal-slightly strange things.

A few good laughs and hopefully a few good insights into the work that we do at the Just Be Nice Project.

Step Up, Reach Out and Do More for Mental Health

12/6/2018

Comments

 
Step Up, Reach Out, and do more to look after the mental health of those around you.

Some thoughts on the way that we talk about people who need help, and how copying and pasting statuses means less to support the well-being of those around you, than actually reaching out and making a proper effort.

A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS DECISION.

24/9/2017

​Spring is springing, so I might as well jump on board and spring clean a few things myself! 

No coffee, no alcohol.... Cold Turkey.

I may, or may not be making a terrible decision... Time will tell.

Will I age? Or look younger after all this!?

I Am Josh Reid Jones

1/6/2017

         My very talented and wonderful friend Tessa Mansfield-Hung visited a few times, shot some footage and we had some interviews over the last year and a half. I am humbled to have gotten back this piece.

        "I've changed my definition of success from how much I can accumulate to how much I can do. As soon as your definition of success changes from you can get to what you can do for others, the meeting or the long time in the factory or these back-to-back meetings with non-profits doing stuff, it doesn't matter, it's helping people. When that's the definition of success, you're winning every day.

           Through the violence I experienced, I've found a fighting spirit that has allowed me to get on with things in a different way. To own that fight internally and use it externally to fight for opportunities for people who are unable to fight for themselves. I think boxing as an 11 year old was a big part of that process, turning violence into fighting spirit.

            Because when you love something, you fight for it. Not against it."


​Music by Delsinki Records and Brooke Taylor

        Head over to check out Tessa Mansfield-Hung on Youtube and Vimeo
I cannot thank her enough for her wonderful work, friendship and massive heart. Turning hours of filming into a few minutes of interview I would find hard to edit myself.

Purpose, Happiness and Impact - VLOG

20/5/2017

Purpose, Happiness and Impact.

Words that get thrown around a lot lacking clarity of definition. How can we attain things that we cannot define or describe?

This VLOG looks at what a good impact looks like, and what we need to do if we are to improve the ways that we help others achieve an equality of opportunity.
