    Episode 140 - Justin Potts // The Hidden Patterns Running Your Life

    Most people think performance is about what you do… but what if it’s actually about what’s running beneath the surface? In this episode, I sit down with Justin Potts — a high-performance coach working across athletes, business owners, and everyday people who know they’re capable of more, but feel something holding them back. We get into the unconscious mind — how it shapes your decisions, your habits, and ultimately your life. Justin breaks down how anxiety isn’t something you have to live with, but something you can understand, rewire, and move through. This isn’t surface-level motivation. It’s about getting honest with yourself, uncovering what’s really driving your behaviour, and learning how to shift it so you can perform, live, and think at a higher level. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re not quite reaching your potential — this one will hit.

    Episode 139 - Watene Waenga // How to unlock healthy masculinity

    This isn’t just a conversation about masculinity — it’s a reset. In a world where men are told to “man up” and stay silent, this podcast explores what it really means to be strong. Inspired by the work of Watene Waenga and the Amend Movement, we dive into emotional resilience, healing, and the courage to face what most men avoid. Through raw conversations and real stories, we unpack the patterns men inherit — silence, pressure, disconnection — and how to break them. This is about learning to lead yourself, build stronger relationships, and show up as a grounded, emotionally present man. Because healthy masculinity isn’t about dominance or suppression — it’s about awareness, accountability, and connection. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living with purpose, this is where it begins.

    Episode 138 - Brendon Riley // How fighting my whole life made become the man I was meant to be

    Brendon Riley is a professional bull rider and fighter whose life has been one long ride with fear, pain, and adrenaline. From the chaos of his childhood — with his dad walking out and his mum battling alcoholism — Brendon learned early what it means to fight for himself. But over time, he’s realized the real fight wasn’t against bulls or opponents… it was against his own mindset. After years of chasing danger through skydiving, motocross, and the rodeo circuit, Brendon’s journey has become less about surviving the rush and more about mastering his inner world. He’s turned his pain into purpose — shifting from a victim of his story to the hero of it. Now, Brendon speaks on resilience, identity, and what it truly takes to rebuild yourself from the ground up. His story is proof that no matter where you come from, you can rewrite the ending — and rise stronger than ever.

    Episode 137 - Dean Lucas // transition from professional athlete to business owner - How to get out of your own way

    In this episode, we dive into the raw, unfiltered journey of Dean Lucas — from life on the edge as a professional downhill mountain bike racer to navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. After a decade of competing at the highest level, Dean stepped away from the sport that shaped his identity and stepped into the unknown world of business, creativity, and personal growth. What most people didn’t see behind the podium photos were the health struggles, mental battles, and identity clashes that came with a life lived in constant pursuit of performance. Burnout, physical setbacks, and a crumbling sense of self forced Dean to confront a deeper question: Who am I without the bike? In this conversation, Dean opens up about: Leaving behind a decorated athletic career and the fear of starting again.The inner turmoil and health challenges that nearly broke him — and how they became the catalyst for change.Building a business and creative space from scratch, with no guarantees and everything on the line.Finding clarity, purpose, and peace on the other side of struggle.Redefining success — not by trophies or numbers, but by impact, growth, and freedom.Now, Dean’s mission is to help others break out of the boxes they’ve been placed in — athletes, entrepreneurs, anyone who’s ever felt lost outside their identity. This is a story about letting go, rebuilding, and discovering the power in choosing a life that’s truly yours.
