    Jungle HQ Podcast - Online Coaching vs In-Person PT: Which Actually Gets You Results?

    Episode 2 of the Jungle HQ Podcast. Jack breaks down the real comparison between online coaching and in-person personal training — not which one's "better," but which one's right for who, and when. The honest pros and cons of each: the accountability trade-off, the cost difference and what you're actually paying for, where online wins on flexibility and data, where nothing beats having a coach in the room with you, and the mistakes people make choosing the wrong one for their situation. Two models, one goal — getting you stronger, fitter and healthier. This one helps you pick the path that fits your life. Pull up a bench.

    Jungle HQ Podcast - Science-Based vs Old-School: Why Context Wins

    Episode 1 is here — the Jungle HQ Podcast is officially back. Jack sits down with Jungle HQ coach Darius to pull apart one of the most tired arguments in the gym: science-based lifting vs old-school training. The verdict? It's the wrong fight. Context wins. They get into training to failure — when it earns its place and when it just burns you; form vs intensity and why chasing one at the cost of the other holds people back; the trap of over-complicating exercises that should stay simple; and some honest observations on the training IQ of the average gym-goer. Two coaches, real experience, no dogma — just a straight conversation about what actually works and why "it depends" is usually the right answer. 23 minutes. Pull up a bench.

    Michael Street: The Power of Conversation

    I'm excited to introduce a man who has been extremely influential to me personally over a ten year journey. Michael Street is a psychologist with an unconventional approach to therapy. He has personally been across the highs, the lows and any big decision that has essentially been made in my career and personal life. In this podcast interview we cover some of the stand out lessons and take aways from the hours of conversation we have engaged in. The dynamic in itself was unique given our meetings have always been private and generally orientated around me which would not have been appropriate for this public forum so instead, I tried to steer its course to provide value and insights for anyone considering seeking out a professional psychologist to help navigate life's complexities. Michael believes that coaching, counselling or psychotherapy needs to be tailored to each individual. This has led him to gain skills in a number of different approaches over his twenty years in practice. Michael came to study psychology as a mature age student, completing his studies part-time in Melbourne at Swinburne and Victoria University during the ’80s and ’90s. He believes that coaching, counselling or psychotherapy needs to be tailored to each individual. This has led him to develop skills in a number of different approaches over his twenty years in practice. Growing up in a Victorian country town in the middle of the twentieth century, he experienced both the State and Catholic school systems before serving as an officer in the Royal Australian Navy during the Vietnam era. He has worked in manufacturing, in sales, in retail as a business proprietor, in academia, HR, business administration, and has also spent many years on-site as a construction worker. This wide experience, combined with his light-hearted and often direct manner, has given him the ability to communicate with people of all ages and at all levels. Although Michael sees equal numbers of men and women, he specialises in men, couples and communication between individuals. He is divorced with two grown-up children. As a psychologist based in Carlton, Michael provides a range of services to clients from across the northern suburbs of Melbourne including psychotherapy, marriage and couples counselling, life coaching, general counselling services and more.

    Holly Sinclair from The Women Series: Reproductive Health and Western Medicine Practices.

    VISIT: www.livingrewired.com   CLICK HERE: https://shor.by/LivingRewired and learn more about how you can half your stress and double your energy by Living Rewired.   Your Host: Jack Boon (Founder of Living Rewired / Health & Performance Coach) Guests: Holly Sinclair (Founder of The Women Series) Welcome to "Living Rewired," the podcast that delves into important topics and sparks thought-provoking conversations. In this episode, we had the pleasure of hosting Holly Sinclair, an expert in women's health and fertility from the Women's Series. Holly shared with us the exciting launch of her fertility summit, which opened the gateway to a compelling discussion about fertility and its challenges in today's world. Our conversation went beyond the conventional understanding of fertility, addressing the complexities faced by couples trying to conceive. We explored fertility not just from a female perspective but also shed light on the impact on men. Surprisingly, declining sperm motility and testosterone levels have made this issue increasingly common. The discussion naturally led us to explore a related and concerning topic - the growing prevalence of people experimenting with steroids and performance-enhancing drugs (PED's). Together, we discussed the lesser-known short and long-term consequences associated with such decisions, emphasizing the importance of informed choices. Moreover, we took a deep dive into personal experiences, as your host (Jack) revealed his journey of spending the last 12+ months sober. This candid exploration of self-growth resonates with many who might be on similar paths of personal development. In the latter part of the podcast, we tackled the notion of trauma as a buzzword and explored how it can sometimes be used as an excuse for hindering personal growth. Our unfiltered conversation between Jack and Holly ventured into controversial territories, as we fearlessly explored the boundaries of thought and behaviour. Join us on "Living Rewired" as we uncover meaningful insights and challenge conventional wisdom on a wide array of topics, empowering you to embrace change and growth. So, grab your headphones, open your mind, and prepare for a thought-provoking journey with Holly Sinclair and our host Jack - where boundaries are nonexistent, and controversy is embraced. Let's dive into the depths of human experiences together.

    Lachlan Giles: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt & Coach, Bronze Medal ADCC and World No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

    VISIT: www.livingrewired.com   CLICK HERE: https://shor.by/LivingRewired and learn more about how you can half your stress and double your energy by Living Rewired.   Your Host: Jack Boon (Founder of Living Rewired / Health & Performance Coach) Co-Host: Mikael Yahaya (Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) Guests: Lachlan Giles (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt & Coach) Welcome to another exciting episode of our podcast! In this edition, we had the pleasure of hosting a very special guest, Lachlan Giles. Lachlan is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and coach hailing from Melbourne, Australia, where he competes out of his renowned gym, Absolute MMA, located in St Kilda. Lachlan's impressive resume speaks for itself. He achieved the remarkable feat of securing the ADCC bronze medal at the Submission Grappling World Championships in 2019, showcasing his exceptional skills on the mat. Additionally, he holds the prestigious title of a bronze medalist at the BJJ No-Gi World Championships, cementing his status as a top-tier competitor. During our conversation, we delved into various captivating topics. One highlight was Lachlan's involvement in a groundbreaking initiative where he was entrusted with overseeing a $100,000 donation aimed at supporting aspiring Jiu-Jitsu athletes in Australia. One of the crucial criteria for these grants was to be a drug-free athlete, a subject that has been a hot topic within the sport, especially surrounding figures like Gordon Ryan. Ironically, it was Gordon himself who once accused Lachlan of using steroids, leading to Derek from More Plates, More Dates creating a video based on questionable evidence provided by Gordon. We also explored the nuances of teaching, learning, and coaching styles in Jiu-Jitsu. Lachlan shared his unique approach, incorporating his university-level Jiu-Jitsu education acquired from Submeta, both in the gym with his competitors and for subscribers worldwide. Furthermore, we delved into the importance of strength training and how strength, flexibility, and even being the smaller participant can offer advantages in the world of grappling. Our host, Mikael, played a pivotal role in steering this enlightening conversation. With a long-standing relationship with Lachlan, having received his black belt from him, and his experience training with the esteemed John Danaher, Mikael provided valuable insights throughout the episode. This episode is an absolute treat for combat athletes and Jiu-Jitsu fanatics alike. So sit back, relax, and tune in to gain exclusive knowledge from one of the most accomplished practitioners in the field.
