    The Journey From Recon Sniper and MC Prospect to Personal Development Coach and Role Model

    This episode, I had an awesome chat with Andrew Geldert. Drew is a personal development coach and a dad to teenagers. He is also the founder of the Man to Man Brotherhood Movement and the Man to Man: Lets Talk About It Podcast.
    In this episode, Drew tells of his journey from being a Recon Sniper in the Australian Army and coming home with PTSD to being a nominee/prospect for an outlaw motorcycle club and doing 5 years of a 7 year sentence, all the while still trying to be a good father and role model for his kids. Drew also discusses his transition from life behind prison walls to being a free man and rebuilding his life from the ground up.
    Check out the Man to Man Brotherhood Movement on Facebook to see all the awesome work Andrew is doing!

    Fathers Day Down Under

    Fathers Day Down Under

    This episode is another banger! Judge, high on adrenaline after moving house for 12 hours, does most of the talking in this one. The tangents are plentiful.
    Being Fathers Day in Australia this past weekend, we decided to talk about stepdads and question what the responsibilities of a stepdad are, discipline and when the child's father should be brought in to deal with a certain situation.

    The Power of Earning: Teaching Our Kids Resilience and Problem Solving

    The Power of Earning: Teaching Our Kids Resilience and Problem Solving

    This episode, I sat down with Damian Piotto. He is a dad of 3 girls as well as the creator and host of the Apex Unleashed podcast.
    We talk about generational differences, adapting with technology and the resistance of life. We also delve a bit deeper into teaching our kids resilience and problems solving skills. Damian makes some good points about how overprotection of our kids can easily undo those lessons, in turn, creating adults who can't think for themselves.
    You can find Damians podcast, Apex Unleashed, on all major podcast streaming services. You can find him on Instagram @apexunleashed_

    Dad Talk with Geoff Marshall: Part 2

    Dad Talk with Geoff Marshall: Part 2

    This week, we continue our conversation with our good mate, Geoff Marshall. In the second part of our conversation, the tangents really start to fly.
    We finish our thoughts on how we'd imagine we would react if we found out an authority figure had abused their power regarding our children.
    We talk about colloquialisms and rhyming slang which leads us to talk about Guy Ritchie movies.
    Judge brings up combats sports and we consider the vast differences between MMA and boxing.
    We finish off our conversation asking the question of what item we would buy if we won the lottery and what it would be that would cause our partners to leave us.

    Dad Talk with Geoff Marshall: Part 1

    This episode, Nate and Judge had Geoff Marshall join them on the show for some dad talk.
    In Part One of a two part episode, we talk about video games of the past that ignite the nostalgia in us, modern video games and how technology has advanced to what it is today with the likes of VR.
    We continue on to talk about childhood crushes at school and how we react as fathers to these kind of situations. We finish up Part 1 with a bit of a cliffhanger.
    Make sure you tune in next week for Part 2 of our conversation with Geoff to see where we go from here.
