Matty Palmer - Building A 6pk For The Mind

Both growing up in the same rural town of Mackay we knew what the stereotypical life looked like. However, Matty chose a path to further his study at university in sports science after growing up playing and loving sports. 

Joining the campus "wolf pack" seamed like the perfect thing to do and Matty naturally became a leader in his cohort. Highlights ranged form dinner time conversations regularly lasting upwards of 2hours to sporting achievements and brother hoods he created while studying. Next was his move to Gold Coast, Queensland to start a cadetship with the Suns ALF club where you have to as a 21 year old, entering a masculine male environment "earn your stripes". 

If having mentor for a life time, then suddenly knowing that that mentor only has a year or so left to live, you quickly find yourself in a spiral of unknown and unrest. Matts connections, friends groups and new mentors are what got him through this challenging and emotional period of his life. Transitioning him into a man with a passion for giving blokes a place where they can connect, conversate and socialise was where MINDPAK was founded. 

A mens group based around those pillars - social connection and physical movement. Matty is proud to put on live events with guest speakers from all walks of life every 6 weeks. Creating a real backyard bbq vibe with the added and vital part of talking about your life. So sit back, listen and learn a thing or two from how many found his why, and let us know what you thought about the episode in the comments below.
