Our boy. Sam Fischer is an Australian Singer Songwriter, we had the honour of talking to him a while back and this time we got to join him in person! 

It's amazing to see the trajectory he has taken from the last time we spoke, really leaning into therapy and doing the hard work to improving his Mental Health. 

We cross the board on this one, lots of topics and he is an honesty black-belt! Please enjoy the conversation with Sam Fischer.

Our chat today is with Australian Singer-songwriter Kita Alexander. 


Kita’s is an unusual trajectory into the music industry… but once she had begun this amazing career there were more than enough roadblocks to dishearten anyone and think about giving up. Fortunately for us, Kita persists and is making great music for the people now and touring Australia for her 1st headline show! 


She provides a very impressive level of wisdom and introspection throughout this chat and can talk about her tough experiences with a level of gratitude for the lessons they provided and the skills she has to handle life now. 


Big thanks to Kita, to Warner Music Group and to all of you for listening…!

The Men of Words return... and we are very happy to be back! 

After a little time off and a lot of life lived, we are returning with new episodes and some very exciting news... we are going BIG this season and bringing along some very talented friends to hopefully build the community and the impact of the podcast. 

We have plenty of great conversations coming up over the next month and big plans for the rest of the year. So if you have been patiently waiting then we want to say a massive thank you and that we are looking forward to having lots more little conversations and making even bigger differences.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode. 
Today’s ep brings us the 2nd of the legends behind Keep it Cleaner, the health & wellness community & app, our guests is the the partner-in-pilates to Steph Claire Smith & CEO of their hugely successful business - Laura Henshaw. 


Laura is an author, speaker, podcast host and even snuck a law degree in there somehow! She’s an incredibly driven person and in the chat you’ll hear how self-aware she is, though it took some work which we she dives into as well.


I think this is an important chat to hear about the difficulty of life with a public persona. It is a reality of what Laura & Steph have created but it doesn’t make it an easy thing to deal with, Laura talks through some of her experiences with this and ho hard it is to see past it when it’s happening to you.
Big thanks to the KIC team for having us, big love to Laura for joining us and huge shout out to Cozette our social media & marketing manager jumping behind the mic and joining the interview! Glad we get the chance to show off our superstar behind the scenes, you’re a champion Cozzy.

Pete Murray. If you've learned guitar for more than a week in Australia you've found your way to one of Pete's hits and this is a very proud chat for the Men of Words to be having! 

Pete is an Australian Musician, came to music pretty late in life by industry standards when he travelled and picked up a guitar at 21. From there... non stop #1 songs and albums, ARIA nominations and 6 studio albums to date. 

Pete goes big in this chat. Taking this opportunity to try and share from his harrowing experiences early in his life and the perspective he gained from it. 

This was a pretty profound chat and we are so grateful for Pete being who is he is and joining us for the chat.

We are joined once again by founder of The Push-Up Challenge, Mr Nick. Hudson - a year after our first conversation.

We are really proud to be sharing this journey with you all again in 2022 and The Men of Words Podcast is pushing for better with our team! To donate to this fantastic cause, please follow the link below!
