013 Friend zoned - what to do when chasing unrequited love

Ahhhh, the friendzone. That lonely yet connected, comforting yet terrorising, familiar yet frustrating place. Of course, the friend zone isn’t the only place we might end up chasing unrequited love - sometimes it’s in a relationship that stutters and two people seem to be misaligned. Either way, finding ourselves in the place of wanting someone and them not wanting us back, or them being unavailable to us, can be heart-aching and life-consuming. That’s the subject of this week's podcast episode ...

012 Why men struggle with mental health

How to Build Mental Strength It’s November now - and for certain men, certain groups and organisations that means one thing (among many) - MOvember. Which really brings to the conversation the idea of men growing moustaches in support of men’s health; more specifically testicular cancer, prostate cancer and suicide in men. Of course, Movember isn’t the only charity or organisation dealing with men’s mental health, in fact, I am a board member of one called The MENtour. Our mission is very much a...

011 How men can help women feel safe with Amber Hawken

Understanding Women's need for safety I’m very excited about today's guest, a good friend of mine in the first woman on our show. Miss Amber Hawken. I've been very fortunate to be her friend for some time. And that has been both in just two humans connecting on a level that we get each other, but also because of, you know, where we're at and the work that we do. And that's one of the major reasons why I wanted to bring Amber onto the show. Because of the insight, the skills, the expertise she ha...

010 Doing Hard Shit with Jeremy Goldberg

The Art of Authenticity & Overcoming Laziness Dr Jeremy Goldberg is a wonderfully unique and wholly interesting and refreshing human. This episode represented one of many ways a conversation between us could have gone. A self-confessed ‘Recovering Scientist” - Jeremy spent years working on not only preventing Climate Change, but how we actually change people’s behaviours in order for that to happen on large scale. He has an immense love for the planet, and for life. And that is evident even ...

009 What is Integrity?

How to live with Integrity In this episode, I venture into and explore something very close to my heart - and head and balls - and that is: INTEGRITY. It is my highest values, because, for me, everything else is determined by this. If I don’t have that, then all my other values don’t really get a chance. Join me as I share some personal stories - including the first one in which as a younger man I fell into a common trap; lying to someone a liked and pulling myself right out of integrity in doin...

008 Busyness versus productivity with Isaac John

Using your passion to grow a business This conversation with Isaac is one where I want to showcase the Everyday Legend - someone living with authenticity and relentlessly going about living life his way. We cover the life from professional football to what happens next - how that impacts identity and the often unchosen task of role model. This then brings us to look at the position he now sees himself in, one he’s chosen, and that is of a role model, someone who has an impact on many young men w...

007 My Lessons from New Fatherhood

Fatherhood - What I've learnt so far I'm a dad now. Just like that - my wife Nardia grew a little human and now we have a baby and I'm a father. Our daughter - Kaia Rey Norman Campbell - was born on June 20th this year, 2020. There were a bunch of extra challenges in the lead up with COVID, and most definitely now with borders still being shut. I speak to that part a touch in this - not being able to see or access our families in New Zealand - but the challenges prior to this I haven't covered. ...

006 Healing Men with Powerful Authenticity & Self-Awareness with JuVan Langford

Using Your Origin Story for Personal Growth This conversation with JuVan, like any and many I’ve had with him, was full of powerful nuggets and refreshing moments of clarity. He's a brother to me, he's a very, very close friend and I feel very fortunate to have him on the podcast here today. We talk about all sorts of things. We go into his journey. From a rough and challenging upbringing to where that took him wearing masks, hiding who he was trying to fit in and ultimately kind of abandoning h...

005 Rating Women: Do men do this?

Do men really think like this? In today’s episode, I explore a question I received a while ago from a woman wanting to understand some of her man’s behaviour. I made a Q&A video about it where I came in with some HEAT, essentially saying - “No, men do not think, speak or act like this, boys do.” This garnered a lot of comment and attention - questions, affirmations and confusion from some guys. So in this episode of the podcast, I expand on that point that “No, boys think like this” and disc...

004 Mick Bani Indigenous Initiation & Finding Identity

A Personal story of Culture & Initiation This episode with Mick is a powerful journey into Indigenous Initiation - what it can look like and what can happen when it’s absent. That example coming directly from Mick’s life and lived experiences. We journey into his youth and where the absence of access to his parents or mentors to guide him took him into early adulthood chasing something; belonging and a deeper understanding of self. I enjoyed this conversation immensely, as we explore some of...

002 Mark Groves: She’s not responsible for your feelings

Codependency & Owning your Wounds Welcome to the first guest conversation for the show with a very good friend of mine - Mark Groves, Mr @createthelove. I was thrilled to have Mark on the show to bring the piece that first connected us to this very topic of the Everyday Legend - a piece he wrote about the ‘Evolved Man’, challenging women that say they want this man if they’re actually ready for him. In the show, we explore mark’s story a what he does. We then start talking about relationship...

003 So you think you're loyal do you?

Why you (likely) have LOYALTY all wrong In this solo episode, Mike breaks down the idea of loyalty and how it plays out in today’s world, especially for men. We cover the origins of loyalty and how it starts from a biological level to the misguided way it often manifests today. Mike then explores how we do this and the self-abandonment it results in. We look at why we do this, and how we can shift to a place of integrity and loyalty where we don’t first abandon ourselves so we can be stronger fo...
