It's very clear to anyone looking in, that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to fashion and making myself look stylish. I have a wardrobe full of black, white and grey T-shirts and similar coloured shorts and that's the extent of my mixing and matching and I don't venture too far from it. With that said, I think when you look great and you have clothes that fit well and go with your mood and personality, then you tend to have a more positive vibe and flow about you and this infiltrates...

Brigitte is someone I've know and worked with for many years and I've always enjoyed the level of energy she brings to any conversation I've had with her and this weeks podcast discussion was no exception. Brigitte has been through a lot in her life and she brings a very empathetic and caring voice and nature to the room and the people who are lucky enough to spend time with her and I invite you all to join in the conversation I shared with her this week.

I've been on a number fat loss journey's over my life and I've also helped 1000's of people do the same and for the most part I've been successful in not only helping those clients who come to me for help, but also myself. In 2022 though, I felt burnt out both mentally and physically and decided to completely stop focusing on the food I was eating and instead drive my attention towards the other pillars of health I talk about, being sleep, exercise and performance and time doing the things I lov...

This weeks podcast is a topic that people usually shy away from and don't want to talk about as it brings up emotions of fear, hurt, loss and sorrow. However, as I continue to expand the breadth of this podcast and open the discussions up to ALL kinds of people and topics, I embraced this weeks guest and dove into the business and world that is funerals and being a funeral celebrant. We didn't stop there though and spoke openly and wide on all manner of topics and Luke O'Connell who is a Funeral...

I've always thought that in order to sing like the great singers over the generations that you need a combination of an insane work ethic combined with amazing genetics, just like those who can run sub 10 second 100m or pain incredible works of art. However, after going through many classical avenues of singing lessons, Adam Mishan felt like the restrictive views a lot of teachers put on their students, held them back from achieving big breakthroughs and progress with their singing ability. Adam...

I know I'm not alone when I share the fact that I get a high level of anxiety when getting on a plane. I'm a control freak at heart and HATE being the passenger in any vehicle and this feeling's at it's most when traveling by air and in a tin tube held up by physics that they actually can't quite explain but know it works because planes stay up in the air and don't fall out of the sky. This week I had the opportunity to speak to Captain Cameron Tribe as he shared his tales of travel and what it'...

In a world where inflation is rising and no one knows how high interest rates will go, it can be a scary time to buy a house and take on a large mortgage. But, that's exactly what Amy and I have done and while we are terrified about what is to come, we are equally excited about planting our feet into our dream home and what that home will represent to our kids over the years to come. All of this wouldn't have been achievable without my best mate and mortgage broker by my side, walking me through...

I can remember a time when going online to find love was considered weird and if you did meet someone online, you would both make up stories on how you met so that you didn't have to say you met online. Jump to 2023, and it's almost the ONLY way people find love and it's weird to hear that people found each other in the "real world" However, is this a good thing? On this weeks podcast, I chat with Kristen Lilly, someone who tried the online dating world and hated it and thought she can't be the ...

Zach Lazar is a strength coach and someone I've not only had on the podcast before, but someone I've spent YEARS working alongside and always enjoyed the time we had together. Zach doesn't mix words and tells you how it is and that goes for whether you're a client of his, a work colleague or a stranger walking down the street. Zach has spent years working on his craft as a strength coach and while his approach isn't for everyone, one thing is for sure... HE GETS RESULTS! Since leaving Melbourne,...

My wife is a star Project Mine Geologist and we moved to Perth in the middle of the pandemic to allow Amy to get back into the mining profession and to see her chase her dreams and make her career a priority on our household.

Nigel Dalton is a social scientist to the core and someone who I've had the pleasure of working with, spending time with and learning from for over a decade.

The vast majority of the clients I work with are females who range in age from 35-65 and I'm always doing my best to stay up to date with the latest evidence on exercise, nutrition and ways to live a happy, healthy and balanced life. A topic I'm not well versed on though and something that ALL of my females clients will go through and something that will have varying degrees of effects on their ability to exercise and live that balanced life is Menopause. So, this week I reached out to Tania Dal...

I've had Mahalia Brown on the podcast before and in that previous episode, she spoke openly about the struggles she's gone through when dealing with her families and her own personal anxiety and depression.

In this episode of the podcast, Mahalia talks about what she still str...

Happiness can be a very hard thing to describe and so when you ask someone... "What does happiness mean to you" It can be hard for them to put into words. However, for most people, you can ask them if they think their life is THRIVING" or not and they can give an answer to you straight away. This week I had the opportunity to speak with positive psychotherapist, Marie McLeod who recently launched her new film.

Sam is no stranger to this podcast and every time I've had him on, I've enjoyed the conversation on whatever topic it is that we were talking about. That topic has always been fitness related though and as we began this talk together, both Sam and I made a pact with each other to do our best to talk about ANYTHING but fitness, fat loss and health. The conversation we had varied from travel, tattoos, aussie slang terms and words as well as a WHOLE lot more. That said, we couldn't help ourselves a...

I've enjoyed diving into the world of Tik Tok and mindlessly scrolling through the mass of entertainment there is to consume and what I've found most entertaining is the debate that goes on around whether the earth is a globe or whether in fact its FLAT! This weeks guest is a high school science teach based out of California who started doing live videos on Tik Tok where he would discuss what he thought were tried and true facts. What he found though was a world of people who disputed them and w...

Over the past 2 years, I have found and fallen in love with the sport of Body Surfing and most of my spare time is now spent scrolling through post after post of body surfing content and this is how I came across Nick's page. I thought this world of Body Surfing was small, but in searching it more and more and now having a chat with Nick, it appears that it isn't as small as I once thought it was and it excites me to do more and meet more people in this body surfing family of ours. It was great ...

In October of 2021, I had just completed yet another cut where I found myself at a lean 68kg and while I felt I looked great, I felt HORRIBLE! I have spent the past 2 decades flowing in and out of cutting weight, maintaining weight and gaining weight and I was tired of always thinking about the foods I was eating and how much I was eating and all of this had taken its toll. So, I QUIT! I made a conscious effort that I was not going to think about the foods I ate or how much I ate and that I woul...

We ALL know just how important sleep is, however, many of us (myself included) continue to make it a 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th priority in our lives and it’s almost always the thing we sacrifice first when trying to create more time in our lives. In this week’s podcast I speak to the lovely Carla from Ora Sleep Coaching and she kindly shares with me the secret to getting a great nights sleep, how to ensure you don’t lay awake at night as well as discussing WHY sleep is so important to us, our health a...

When asked the question... "What is the number 1 thing that people struggle with when it comes to eating better" Most people give the same responses such as, Don't know what to eat... Don't have enough time to cook... Don't know how to cook... While these are common responses, having worked with 100's of clients over the years, these are not the issues that most people face in reality. In this weeks podcast, I aim to answer the question and highlight the most common struggles that people face an...

I’m likely going to put myself out of a job by creating this podcast, but I’m of the firm belief that educating people to do things on their own is a VERY good idea and will create trust in the service I deliver as well as help people take control of their own health and performance. I’ve been designing and implementing strength training, rehabilitation and performance based programs for over 15 years and while I’m of the opinion that you can always improve, I can confidently say that I'm VERY g...
