  1. Finding Peace On The Run: Presence over performance

    Finding Peace On The Run: Presence over performance

    in this episode, I reflect on what running has really become for me. Those early mornings when the air’s cool and clean, when my breath is shallow and my ankles are stiff but then, somewhere in that quiet, the rhythm finds me. Running isn’t my escape. It’s how I return to myself. Out there, the ego fades, the noise drops away, and it’s just me, the dirt, and the wind moving through the trees like breath. I’ve learned that effort isn’t the enemy, and discomfort isn’t punishment, it’s just a sensation. The lessons are subtle, whispered through stillness, not shouted through chaos. And in that flow state, where time stretches and everything softens, I’m reminded that I don’t have to be anything more than what I already am. So I keep running. Not to prove anything, not to win, but because out there on the trail, under an open sky, everything makes sense. Even if only for a moment.

    Shane Kent: From Ironman to Arch to Arc and Why the Process Matters Most

    I’ve known Shane for years, and over that time we’ve become good friends, sharing one too many Instagram reels and always keeping it real with each other. No b******t, just us. In this episode, Shane joins me to talk about his incredible journey through endurance sport. He’s a normal guy living a normal life, but with an extraordinary passion for pushing his limits. With over 15 Ironman triathlons under his belt, he’s also taken on Ultraman Australia and the legendary Arch to Arc, a 140km run, a swim across the English Channel, and a 289km ride to finish. Shane’s not chasing some deep, spiritual revelation, he’s chasing the edge of his own potential, finding joy in the process, the grind, and even the suffering, if you want to call it that. This one’s a reminder to do things because you love them, because they make you feel alive — not because the world is watching.

  4. Getting Sober: The Grass is Green Where You Water It

    Getting Sober: The Grass is Green Where You Water It

    In this episode, I open up about my personal journey with sobriety and the lessons I’ve learned over the past two years. I share the raw and honest challenges of life without alcohol, from navigating emotional struggles to rediscovering who I really am beneath the noise. For me, sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking, it’s about choosing to feel, to face life as it is, and to take ownership of my path forward. Along the way, I’ve come to realise that real transformation happens slowly, in the small, consistent shifts, and that clarity comes not in one big moment but through the everyday practice of showing up as my truest self.
