    From Soccer Star to BJJ Black Belt – Gonz' Journey of Resilience & Purpose | Everything Counts

    Jamie Small and co-host George Azzi welcome Gonz, founder of EQ Grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. Gonz shares his powerful story: immigrating from Chile as a toddler, rising as a Premier League/NSL-level soccer talent, having his dreams shattered by repeated knee injuries, the identity crisis and partying that followed, and how discovering BJJ in 2013 became his new purpose. He went all-in—moving back in with his mum and training up to four times a day—eventually earning his black belt and building a community gym focused on growth, resilience, and staying calm under pressure. The conversation dives deep into fatherhood (teaching his kids and stepkids resilience through grappling), ego versus respect, listening to your body, normalising tough conversations, and why tying your identity to one thing can be dangerous. George opens up about his recent ulcer self-diagnosis scare and family challenges, while Jamie gives an update on launching his “Those Ones” underwear brand. Raw, honest, and packed with mindset gold on discipline, overcoming adversity, and building strong men. Recorded and produced at The Grey Creative Caringbah.

    From Prison Cell to Boardroom: Jeffrey Morgan's Extreme Ownership Journey | Everything Counts Ep 22

    All right, guys. Welcome to the Everything Counts podcast. This is where discipline, mindset and action collide. Hosts Jamie Small and co-host George Azzi sit down with their long-time mate Jeffrey Morgan (strategist, global entrepreneur, 2025 Global Awards Wellness Coach of the Year). From homeless at 12 on the streets of Redfern, 20 years behind bars, surviving family trauma, abuse cycles, suicide loss and a notorious criminal past (including bank robberies planned like a footy team), Jeff made the decision: no more excuses, only extreme ownership. He shares the raw truth about breaking generational trauma, rebuilding as a father, the “GPS to life” weekly planner, running towards everything that scares you, training as non-negotiable discipline, small habits that compound, integrity, and why everything counts — every choice, every habit, every action, every day. A powerful, no-BS conversation packed with tools for men ready to level up in life, business, health and fatherhood. Recorded and produced at The Grey Creative Caringbah.
