    031: A Conversation with Sarah Smith, Overcoming Obstacles & Building Success

    Send us a text In this captivating episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, we sit down with Sarah Smith, a client I’ve had the pleasure of coaching for nearly five years. Sarah is a true high achiever with a life full of diverse experiences. From being a young athlete in netball, to solo traveling the world, to becoming a Greek island tour guide, a bodybuilder, a mum, and a business owner, Sarah has truly done it all. Sarah’s athletic journey began at just 14 years old, when netball became a huge part of her upbringing. We dive into her experiences as a young athlete, comparing past nutrition and training practices with the modern advances in sports science. We also discuss a major obstacle that impacted her netball career, which eventually led her to discover a new and exciting phase of her life. The episode takes us through Sarah’s travels across the globe, where she lived a completely different lifestyle and worked to make ends meet as a young traveler. Along the way, she met her husband, and we talk about how their paths crossed at just the right time, dramatically changing the trajectory of her life. Sarah’s journey in bodybuilding began with a desire to compete. Through coaching and focused training, she learned the true power of nutrition and completely transformed her body. She went on to compete and achieved remarkable results. However, her journey didn’t stop there—after becoming a mum, Sarah faced new challenges as she prepped again for competition. With a completely different approach, we navigated the post-pregnancy journey together, embracing flexibility and adaptability as the key to success. Now, Sarah is a successful business owner, running her own remedial massage business, working with athletes and sports teams. More recently, she launched Base Performance Co., an apparel brand bridging the gap between workout and lifestyle wear. The brand has been gaining incredible traction since its official launch in 2024. This episode is a powerful reminder of how being adaptable and flexible—no matter what life throws at you—can lead to success. Sarah has taken every opportunity that’s come her way and created her own luck. Tune in for a fascinating conversation on resilience, passion, and achieving your dreams.

    030: A Conversation with Mel Green, Success is not Given, its Earnt.

    Send us a text In this episode of "PROCAST BY JOSH," we sit down with Mel Green to explore her fascinating journey into bodybuilding and how she became a top bikini athlete. Mel shares the story of how she first got into competing, her rapid rise to success with her first pro card and multiple podium finishes, and the challenges she faced along the way. As with many successful journeys, obstacles inevitably arise, and Mel's journey is no different. After a string of back-to-back competition seasons, Mel experienced extreme burnout—something that can happen when you’re pushing yourself at full throttle. But instead of letting burnout define her path, Mel made the tough decision to physically remove herself from the environment, which ultimately turned out to be the best move for her both physically and mentally. This decision allowed her to continue her journey as an athlete and achieve even greater success in the years that followed. We discuss the reality that obstacles will always be a part of anyone’s journey. Success doesn’t come easily, and as Mel shares, you can only be successful for so long before you are tested. It’s not about avoiding obstacles; it’s about how you overcome them. Mel’s story is a powerful example of resilience and the importance of taking a step back when necessary to regain focus and purpose. Beyond her competitive success, Mel took a huge step in early 2024 by leaving her corporate job to fully dedicate herself to her passion: coaching others. Now, as a coach, she helps individuals not only with their competition preparation but with their overall lifestyle and personal growth. She is committed to helping others be their best, whether on the stage or in everyday life. This episode highlights a key lesson: success is never given, it’s earned. Even when you have a strong foundation, it’s up to you to continually show up, seek guidance, mentorship, and surround yourself with a supportive environment that will help you grow. Mel’s relentless commitment to improvement and her ability to evolve in the face of challenges have earned her multiple pro cards across different federations, and she continues to set the standard for her clients and others in the bodybuilding community. Tune in to this enlightening episode and be inspired by Mel Green’s story of perseverance, growth, and success in the world of bodybuilding and coaching.

    029: A Conversation with Kenny Kim, Re-Starting From Nothing

    Send us a text In this powerful episode of PROCAST BY JOSH we sit down with Kenny Kim, a longtime friend, competitor, and fitness entrepreneur. Our journey together started many years ago when I first met Kenny during his bodybuilding debut, and from there, we built not only a strong coach-athlete relationship but a lasting friendship. Kenny’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Moving from Korea to Australia in 2015, he initially worked in factories to survive and get on his feet. The challenges of adjusting to life in a new country with next to no money were immense. Yet, despite the hardships, Kenny remained focused on his passion for fitness and eventually transitioned back into the fitness industry—a field he had always loved. Shortly after, he joined the Pro Team as a coach, where we worked together to help him grow. But Kenny’s story doesn’t stop there. With determination, focus, and a clear vision, he took the leap and opened his own personal training studio—Body 2 Life. This move marked the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey, which has now led him to even greater success. In this episode, we talk about the challenges of starting over from scratch, the difficulties of moving overseas, and the perseverance it took to push through with so little. As we discuss throughout the conversation, if you stay determined, focused, and committed to what you’re passionate about, you’ll eventually get to where you want to be. We also dive into Kenny’s competitive bodybuilding journey, which has become a significant part of his business. He now helps many clients step on stage, showing them how health and fitness can truly change their lives. Kenny’s passion for helping others, pushing them in the gym, and his contagious energy—what we like to call "Kenergy"—is at the heart of everything he does. In addition to his thriving fitness studio, Kenny recently took on the role of QLD ANB Promoter, working with a well-established bodybuilding federation. With his growing fitness business and the success of his Cafe 63 ventures, Kenny is living proof that hard work, determination, and staying true to your passion will lead to incredible success. This episode is packed with valuable lessons for anyone looking to overcome obstacles and build something meaningful. Kenny's story will inspire you to push through challenges and keep moving forward, no matter how tough things get. If you'd like to contact Kenny, follow his journey, or find out more about Body 2 Life and Competing with ANB, make sure you follow him on Instagram or reach out here.

We discuss the impact that this journey has had on his body image, confidence, and social interactions. Shaun now embraces social situations he would have previously avoided, striking up conversations with strangers and participating in events that once made him uncomfortable. His transformation goes beyond the gym; it’s about reclaiming control, gaining confidence, and changing the way he sees himself.
