Together, they have produced a series of audio programs on health, relaxation and success, as well as a television documentary series.  Across many continents, John has also performed regular medical aid work being the team leader of expeditions to many remote islands as well as working selflessly locally and internationally in humanitarian roles.

After years of dealing with the consequences of negative thinking in their clinical practices, John and Elizabeth have worked hard to crystalize their Positivity Principle concepts and created the TUFMINDS Life Rescue App and Programs. Their work has inspired them to create easy-to-use tools that effectively identify and eliminate Negative Impulsive Thoughts (NIT) in the workplace. The result is a supportive, productive, and mentally resilient staff. In their spare time, they enjoy sailing. John has competed in various sailing competitions on an international level.  They have both travelled and worked throughout Australia, France, South Africa, Scotland, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, and various South Pacific islands.
