I've been over in Germany doing some media work at an Ironman race. After I finished interviewing a lot of people I pushed record again and asked them these two questions - 1. What would advice would you give to a beginner exerciser about finding an exercise routine? 2. What does exercise bring to your life? 

Later on in the show I also have an interview with triathlon legend Erin Baker. This interview shows the wisdom that comes from someone who has spent their life growing as a person.

Lately I have had three lessons in my life that I feel will help me in being content in how I live my life. On this episode I share these lessons with you. Hopefully these lessons can help you in being content. 


On this episode I sit down with Sean Barnes and Kieran Sutherland to talk about men's mental health. The conversation covers what you should do if your mental health is getting on top of you, how as a friend you can support those around you, and other insights into this important area.


If you worry about your health and aren't addressing the real areas you need to be working on in your life this show is for you. 

First of all I address how protecting yourself from the judgement of others may actually enable you to avoid the real work you need to be doing on yourself.

From there I talk about people who are healthy in their behaviours but they live in doubt and worry about their health. This is actually creating an unhealthy person so it's an area that needs to be worked on. 

Feel free to share the show with your world.


On this show I dig deep into two different topics. First of all I talk about how you should trust yourself when you are consistently using good tools in your life. Then I talk about how accountability can massively influence your choices when you put in at the right time in your thinking process. I think you will enjoy this one.
