    The UNDERCOVER cop with a DEATHWISH

    THE UNDERCOVER COP WITH A DEATHWISH | TODD MAGUIRE aka DONNY WILSON What happens when a man who has lost everything begins taking risks that could cost him his life? In this powerful episode of Bros and Cons, we sit down with former undercover police officer Todd Maguire, who operated under the name Donny Wilson and lived a life few people could ever imagine. Behind the badge was a man carrying deep personal pain. In his mid-20s, Todd experienced the devastating loss of his girlfriend to suicide, a tragedy that forced him to question life, purpose and everything he once believed. We explore the experiences that shaped him, his journey into the dangerous world of undercover policing, and the risks he took while operating in environments where trust can be the difference between life and death. But this conversation goes far beyond policing and crime. This is an emotional conversation filled with powerful messages, unexpected laughs and moments that will make you stop and think. Despite the differences between the people on either side of the law, there are human stories that deserve to be heard. This is a rare opportunity to hear perspectives that are not often brought together in mainstream media. Todd has also written a book about his experiences, with the possibility of the story making its way to the big screen. From tragedy to purpose, from the world of undercover policing to an unexpected connection with former criminals this is a conversation about the human being behind the story. 🎙️ Welcome to Bros and Cons — real conversations, raw experiences and stories that challenge the way we see the world.

    Sydney’s Relentless Streets | Demonic Torment & Redemption — Mars Testimony

    On this episode of Bros and Cons, we welcome a good old friend, Mario, to the podcast for a raw and honest conversation about friendship, the streets, and the journey that changed his life forever. One question people often ask is: Do your old friends get upset when you change your life? Do they support what you’re doing, or do they prefer the person you used to be? We open up about the reality of outgrowing your old life, the challenges that come with change, and what happens when the people who knew you before your transformation see you walking a different path. To close out the discussion, Mario shares a powerful personal testimony about his experiences with demonic torment and his journey towards Jesus Christ. A real-life story of darkness, spiritual warfare, faith, and redemption. Sometimes, the streets shape your past, but they don’t have to determine your future. No matter how far you’ve gone, there is always hope in Jesus Christ. All glory to God. ✝️🙏🏽 🎙️ Bros and Cons Real conversations. Real testimonies.

    Winner of Sydney’s Backyard Ultra 🏆 442kms 🤯 !!

    Justin Makhlouf joins Bros & Cons to break down what it really takes to become the LAST MAN STANDING in one of the craziest endurance races around. We go behind the scenes of the race — the physical pain, the mental battle, the mindset required to keep going when your body is telling you to stop, and what it took to outlast everyone else. But for Justin, it was about more than just running. He opens up about his faith in God, what the experience meant to him spiritually, and how his faith helped carry him through the hardest moments. At one point during the race, a priest even prayed over him between sets, creating a powerful moment in the middle of an already incredible challenge. We get into the preparation, the mindset, the breaking points, the faith, and what goes through your head when you know you still have another lap to run. How far can the human mind and body really go? This is the story behind the race, the man, and the mindset that made Justin Makhlouf the LAST MAN STANDING. 🎙️ BROS & CONSSubscribe for more real conversations, powerful stories and perspectives from people who have lived through it. #BrosAndCons #JustinMakhlouf #LastManStanding #UltraMarathon #Endurance #Faith #Mindset #Running #Christianity See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    AUTISM, CULTURE & DISABILITY Winewithwita

    AUTISM, CULTURE & DISABILITY | Winewithwita In this episode of Bros and Cons, we sit down with speech pathologist Winewithwita for an important conversation about autism, disability and culture. We talk openly about why disability can sometimes be misunderstood or overlooked within our communities, the stigma surrounding it, and why some families may struggle to recognise or accept it. She also breaks down what autism actually is, how it can present differently in people, and how we can better understand and support those living with autism. This is a conversation about education, understanding and breaking the stigma — especially within our Pacific, Lebanese and wider multicultural communities. If you have a child, family member or loved one with autism or a disability, this episode is worth watching. ❤️ Watch. Learn. Share.
