    Andrew Flynn: starting an accidental fightwear business, building a business to sell, how tai chi opened my mind & more!

    In this episode I sit down with Andrew Flynn, a Jiu Jitsu black belt, Tai Chi Chuan advocate and accidental fightwear company owner. Andrew is one of the guys behind alchemical fightwear (https://www.alchemical.com.au/) a healthy living company that also sells natural, plastic free option for martial arts / grappling apparel. It was a fun conversation as we also went deep on Andrew's journey, from project management to Tai Chi Chuan, to Jiu Jitsu, cafe's and more. Traditional martial arts often get a bad rap in modern martial arts discussions and it was nice for Andrew to articulate his experience with it. We also go through his experience in building up a business to selling it, engineering / project management and of course the reasons why Alchemical focuses on Hemp / natural fibred fight wear.

    Anouska Firth: Battling an eating disorder, overcoming drug addiction & facing up to your actions

    In this episode I sat down with Anouska Firth to talk about her experiences battling her insecurities around self worth, eating disorders, drug addiction and also coming to terms with the consequences of her actions from the choices she had made. It's a fairly contentious topic to discuss some of the things we do in this episode, however I hope people can enjoy this episode for it's openness to dealing with some difficult topics. Anouska is someone who has really felt the brunt of her choices and part of her journey to finding peace with those choices has been through facing them, having close friends who have told her some fairly uncomfortable truths and having the willingness to try pull herself out of the pit she had fallen into. No matter how difficult the challenges your facing, there is always someone who has probably had it worst. The great news is that you can get through it and I hope this episode is an example of this.

    Ben Smith: a Journey through Testicular cancer, chemotherapy orchidectomy, Jiu Jitsu and more!

    In this episode I sat down with Ben Smith of Deepwater Performance to chat about life, jiu jitsu and his experience with Testicular Cancer. Turns out, April is actually Testicular cancer awareness month so it's kind of fitting for us to talk about this issue. That said, I hope you can enjoy this episode, and laugh along with us as Ben recounts his story and shares some valuable information everyone should be aware of.  For such a heavy topic I'm glad that Ben can talk about it so openly and share his experience with the whole process. We go through the whole thing from synthetic nuts to hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy as well as Ben's work, from the NRL to his coaching business and how watching a schoolyard fight in the toilets helped him to find Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Enjoy!

    Kai Vuong: Getting married in the ICU, losing the love of your life, dealing wih grief and much more

    In this episode I caught up with someone who I trained with many years ago. Kai used to train with me as a teenager and it's always interesting for me to think about where some of the kids I have coached over the years have ended up. That said, there was actually a sadder reason why I caught up with Kai for this podcast. Last year, he actually lost his life partner after she had a medical episode that caused her to collapse, fracture her skull and end up in the ICU. I didn't reach out to Kai when I found out about it, however a few weeks before we recorded this, the thought of Kai and Wendy popped into my mind and that was my sign to reach out to Kai and check in with him. We cover a huge range of topics on this from Parkour to Cryptocurrency, to starting your own businesses, not to mention his story with Wendy, dealing with grief, coping with loss and much more. There are some pretty heavy themes in this one, however I hope you all find something good in this episode.    Links: Stunner Boutique: https://www.instagram.com/stunnerboutique/ Saiyan Evolution: https://www.instagram.com/saiyanevolution/

    Craig Kelly: An inside look into Australian federal politics, media bias and more!

    In this episode I sat down with Craig Kelly, no doubt a somewhat controversial guest depending on your political leanings or maybe even your social media algorithm. That said, people often only see the person portrayed to them by the media they consume. In that regard I always try to take people in terms of my interactions with them and I generally think that's a better gauge of a person's character. With the Federal election announced for the 3rd May 2025, it's time for Aussie's to go to the polls again to have their say on the direction that they would like the country to go towards. In full disclosure - I do have a current General Membership in the Libertarian Party however the nature of this episode wasn't to say you should do this or that, more to share Craig's story and to allow him to articulate his perspectives and some of the things he has gone through in recent years. Likewise, some of the information we discuss in this episode deserves citations as we were talking off the cuff so some of the numbers might be slightly off (for e.g. me and the government debt number!) Australian Gross Debt (see pg 6): https://budget.gov.au/content/overview/download/budget-overview.pdf Gross debt at $1,022 bn for 25-26 Fiscal Year Global Greening: https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/goddard/carbon-dioxide-fertilization-greening-earth-study-finds/ Australia contributes just over 1% of global emissions: https://www.csiro.au/en/research/environmental-impacts/climate-change/Climate-change-QA/Sources-of-CO2#:~:text=Australia's%20contribution%20to%20global%20greenhouse,waste%202.9%20per%20cent.

    Chris Casaceli: getting stung by a stingray, losing your father, reality tv, jiu jitsu & more!

    In this episode I sat down with Chris Casaceli at Gracie Sutherland Shire. Chris has probably had the most Subversion matches and is back in action this Saturday at Subversion Paradigm. That said it was great to chat with Chris and share some of his stories from grieving the loss of his father through to his experience on the TV show - 'The Crew'. Enjoy!

    Josh Allsopp: making a living from Jiu Jitsu, trampolining, competitive gaming, learning and more!

    In this episode I caught up with Josh Allsopp from Kumite Jiu Jitsu prior to his match at Battlegrounds in Perth, Western Australia. Josh is a jiu jitsu coach and competitor who basically trains so he can eat. Jokes aside, Josh has always found a way to learn things efficiently, from getting good at Call of Duty to getting to experience the UFC through winning a competition from gaming.  Enjoy!  Links:  https://www.kumitejiujitsu.com.au/  https://www.patreon.com/secretkumite?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaavTks_SsQz8gsp_IGsd0NLcR5Rlmc7iDUBqBipNTVAL-ma-M_7Gxz7H6s_aem_eGK3js4OmG40mPFh9mc1NA
