    EP 32 - Jeff Horn I From Bullied Kid To Beating Manny Pacquiao

    Reece invites Jeff Horn on the show. The pair discuss one of the most extraordinary and unforgettable journeys in Australian boxing, from being bullied as a young kid and finding confidence through boxing, to representing Australia at the Olympic Games and ultimately becoming a world champion. Jeff takes us behind the scenes of the moment his entire life changed when he stepped into a packed Suncorp Stadium to face one of the greatest boxers of all time, Manny Pacquiao. He opens up about the pressure, the fear, the belief and the unbelievable feeling of hearing the final decision announced in his favour. But becoming world champion was only the beginning. Jeff speaks candidly about the controversy surrounding the Pacquiao fight, the weight of suddenly carrying a world title, defending his crown, and the brutal reality of losing it to Terence Crawford. The pair then explore the next chapter of Jeff’s career, including his explosive 96 second victory over Anthony Mundine, his battles with Michael Zerafa, and his final fight against Tim Tszyu that ultimately brought his professional boxing career to an end. Jeff reveals what it was really like walking away from boxing, why he turned down huge offers to return to the ring, and what happens when the identity you’ve built your entire life around is suddenly gone. Beyond the lights, stadiums and world titles, Jeff opens up about fatherhood, family, his life after boxing, his work fighting bullying and the lessons that only years of sacrifice, victory and defeat can teach you. This is not simply a conversation about boxing. It is a story about being underestimated. It is a story about resilience. It is a story about proving yourself when nobody else believes you can.

    EP 31 - Will Collins I From Rock Bottom In Geelong To Building Arco Designs Into An Empire

    Reece invites Will Collins on the podcast and the pair discuss his incredible journey from a wild and reckless youth to building a successful design business and creating a life on his own terms. Will opens up about his younger years, the mistakes that shaped him, meeting his wife at just 23 and the profound impact she had on changing the direction of his life. He takes Reece back to the early days of starting his own business in 1993, the struggles that came with backing himself, the lessons he learned from getting ripped off and why sometimes the most important business decision you can make is simply knowing when to say no. The pair dive deep into Will’s passion for architecture and design, exploring what truly makes a house a home, why style will always beat size, and the biggest lessons Will has learned after decades in the industry. But this conversation goes far beyond business and building. Will shares his journey with health and ageing, from boxing at 40, taking up yoga at 50 and surfing at 58, to completely rejecting the idea that getting older means slowing down. He explains why he believes it's never too late to reinvent yourself, pursue something new and build a life that genuinely excites you. Reece and Will also explore relationships, freedom, personal style, success, failure, longevity, life philosophy and the experiences that have shaped the man he is today. A raw, insightful and incredibly inspiring conversation about building a business, overcoming your past, looking after yourself and refusing to put an expiry date on your life. Because just like a great home, a great life doesn't happen by accident. You have to design it. Subscribe to The RABBOTT Hole on Instagram @reecepabbott @rabbottholepodcast

    Reece Invites Matthew Frenkel on the show. The pair discuss his incredible entrepreneurial journey, from creating meals in his Mum’s kitchen and famously blowing up her oven, to taking huge risks, experiencing devastating setbacks, rebuilding from debt and ultimately creating the incredible Swole Meals. Matthew opens up about the early days of his first business, losing almost $100,000 after being conned into an investment, walking away with debt and spending years working in construction while rebuilding his life. Eventually, he packed up his ute, moved to Queensland and decided to back himself one more time. The pair go deep on what it really takes to build a successful food business, the reality behind the scenes at Swole Meals, the importance of quality over simply getting bigger, and why hard work, good people and staying true to your product can make all the difference. Matthew also gets incredibly honest about his relationship with food during his competing years, the battles he faced privately and how those experiences completely changed the way he views health, nutrition and balance today. This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, failure, resilience, family, friendship, food, fitness and having the courage to start again when life doesn't go to plan. From blowing up his Mum’s oven to building Swole Meals, Matthew’s story is a powerful reminder that your biggest failure can sometimes become the foundation for your greatest success.
