S3E31 · Shane Scott: Creating Habits, Discipline & RoutineWelcome back to the Virtus Performance podcast!! Season 4, huge, we’re stoked to be back! Shane Scott is our resident account at Virtus Performance and affectionately known as Mr Consistent. A little different of a guest to our usual as Shane doesn't necessarily have a sporting or athletic background which will be pleasing to some listeners ears i'm sure. Shane has a methodical approach to many aspects of his life whether that is work, training or everyday living which allows him to foster discipline, create routine and build habits. If you're at Virtus around 7am in the morning i'm sure you've seen him but don't know much about him as he's a pretty unassuming character so I was stoked that he agreed to come on to the podcast and have a chat! As always, exited for this one!!5 March 2023 · 1:31:59Watch

After watching his movies over the past few years i was inspired by his sense of adventure and ability to find that adventure and reinvent it in his own backyard. Me summarising Beau would not do him justice, therefore i have gone down the copy paste route with his bio from his website http://beaumilesfilm.com/ Award winning filmmaker, average gardener, and hopeless at cooking eggs, Beau is mostly unfashionable. On the recent 350k crossing of Bass Strait in a sea kayak (from Australia’s mainland to Tasmania) he was voted 3rd worst dressed in a party of 3. When 2 more expedition members turned up he was the worst of 5. It was agreed that if 395 more people joined the party, he would be the 400th best dressed. Being offbeat and NQR speaks volumes about how Beau sees the world. Honest, raw, funny, and at times critical, endears Beau to audiences when he talks about expeditionary life amidst the domesticity of home. Past experiences include paddling several thousand kilometers of Africa by Kayak, running 700km across the Australian Alps (Trials of Miles), and recently finding challenge and beauty in the everyday lands between home and work during Man vs Commute. This podcast also ended in a little challenge for myself, in which i'll be aiming to spend 24hrs solo, no phones, no contact, no people, nothing. I'll keep you posted.
