#85 - Paul Kennedy - Breaking Away From The Toxic Drinking Culture

Paul Kennedy is a journalist, an author and a television presenter best known for his some 14 years with the ABC News breakfast.

We were so privileged to sit down and spend some time with Paul as he shared some real insightful gems of wisdom that he’s discovered throughout his life.

We chatted about his latest book 'Funkytown'. An autobiography reflecting on his memoirs of his teenage years growing up in Frankston, Victoria. And boy did that open a can of worms.

We talked about the macho culture he experienced growing up which lead to excessive drinking, pub brawls, sexual ideology and even getting expelled from high school in year 12. When really all he wanted to do was play professional football, find love and live a good life.

So many of the experiences Paul faced back then rings true in today’s society as we talked about toxic masculinity and how it can be defined. Which really opened our eyes.

Paul’s journalism career is really impressive too. Working at the Herald Sun, Network 10, Channel 9 and The ABC just to name a few.

Paul reflected on how he got into journalism and the path he took to get there which wasn’t the norm. It’s a great story of persistence and proactivity which you’re going to love.

He also shared some insight into his coaching philosophy and why he teaches his players not to fear failure. A pattern he’s experienced in his life.

Guys, this interview is only short but it’s so powerful. And we can’t wait to chat with Paul again for part 2.

You can purchase 'Funkytown' now at all good bookstores and of course online.
