    "I'm Thick and I'm Quick": Jordan Stanton on Building a Movement for Heavyweight Men

    Send us Fan Mail Guest: Jordan Stanton!! founder of a heavyweight running movement in London, 104kg, viral for "pound-for-pound" running content, sleep coach, aspiring heavyweight running champion of the world. What this episode actually is: Not a scripted interview ..the record button got missed for the first 30 seconds because this turned into two blokes calling each other out in real time. By the end, both had made public commitments they can't quietly walk back. Threads worth pulling out as clip-worthy moments: The origin story of "I'm thick and I'm quick"  a joke in a car park that became an identityThe "man child" memory and shaving his arms at 12 the exact moment Jordan learned to hide his sizeThe hard-exterior-soft-interior pattern in big guys, and the "I can't show my full strength or I'll hurt someone" belief formed from one childhood incidentThe "clown mask" ..performing confidence in public, collapsing at home, for yearsKilometer 76 of the Backyard Ultra — the moment he nearly quit and the actual reasoning that got him through it"Everything I'm doing now isn't for the results I want tomorrow" — his line on staying in the unrewarded middleThe Charlie story ..recognizing and publicly crediting his 19-year-old videographer, and why almost nobody does thatWhy AI makes human connection more valuable, not less (the "nod in the park" story)The live moment where you both made public commitments — Jordan to America/Kenya, you to Florida — neither of which existed as a real plan five minutes earlierReal takeaway for the listener, stated plainly: if you've been sitting on a version of yourself you're scared to become public, this episode is what it sounds like when two people force each other to book the flight instead of talking about booking the flight.

    Her Biggest Month Ever Broke Her With Rani Curry

    Send us Fan Mail The Technician Podcast Episode: Her Biggest Month Ever Broke Her  — with Rani Curry What happens when someone who's already done years of personal development work finally meets the layer underneath all of it? That's this episode. Rani Curry is an in-person and online PT on the Gold Coast who also works in mindset, nervous system regulation, and breathwork. She's been in and out of therapy since she was 14. She's done NLP, retreats, breathwork training, hypnotherapy, and group programs. She ran a sold-out event, had her highest cash month ever — and then completely fell apart on the other side of it. That's when she found her way to me. This conversation is different. Rani's a past client, and this is the first time I've had one on the pod. We go deep into her story, into what the work actually looked like, and at one point, without planning it, we drop into a live somatic process that neither of us saw coming. A five-year-old girl on a makeshift stage in a school playground. People laughing. A decision made in that moment that quietly ran her life for the next two decades. We found it in about four minutes. In this episode: Why doing "all the work" doesn't mean you've hit the root — and what lives underneathThe moment Rani's nervous system completely shut down after her biggest ever winWhat it actually feels like to do live pattern work (we do it mid-episode)The feminine wound that was hiding in plain sight for 20 yearsWhy she invested $15k and what the real ROI looked like six months laterThe difference between being aware of your patterns and your nervous system actually changingWhy Rani nearly didn't come back after the first session — and what made her stayThe retreat moment that cracked everything openBuilding a business from a dysregulated nervous system — and what shifts when you finally aren'tThe moment that'll stop you mid-listen: Around the 20 minute mark, something unplanned happens. Rani starts talking about expression, and her body goes somewhere before her brain does. We follow it. What we find is a memory from prep or grade one — a little girl on a wooden platform in a playground, performing a song, watching people laugh. She decided something in that moment. And it played out quietly in her business, her content, her relationships, and her body for the next two decades. We changed the ending. On the investment: Rani invested $15k over six months. She talks openly about how she made that decision, what ROI actually means when you're investing in your nervous system, and what it costs to not change. No filter, no sugarcoating. Where Rani's at now: Busiest she's ever been. Moved into a new apartment. Building toward her own coaching company. Training differently, eating differently, showing up differently. Same person ..completely different operating system. Connect with Rani: Instagram: @the.ranicurry A note on this episode: This episode contains a live somatic process. While this is not therapy, some content may bring up emotions or memories for listeners. If anything surfaces, please reach out to a qualified mental health professional. Work with me: If something in this episode hit different — if you recognised yourself in Rani's story, or in the patterns we unpacked — that's not a coincidence. I work with high performers, business owners, and athletes who've already done the work but are still running invisible patterns that are quietly wrecking their results. One session is usually enough to find it. → Tech Talk (single session)→ Rapid Rewire — 6 weeks: → REWIRE — 4 month flagship DM me on Instagram @the.technician_  I'm The Technician. This is what the work actually looks like.

  3. Grief Is Just Love : Psychic Medium Temika Hill on Death, Connection & What the Dead Actually Want

    Grief Is Just Love : Psychic Medium Temika Hill on Death, Connection & What the Dead Actually Want

    Send us Fan Mail Today's episode is one of the most unexpectedly real conversations to come out of this podcast yet. Temika Hill is a psychic medium and grief guide based on the Gold Coast who has spent her life walking people through death, loss, and the unseen and she's only 31. She was psychic at nine, buried it for years, lost her dad young, went fully corporate, and then 2020 cracked her open and she never looked back. What started as an interview turned into something else entirely. We got into grief as identity theft, what the body does with unexpressed loss, why closure is the thing people are actually chasing, and what the deceased actually want for the people they left behind. And then something happened that neither of us planned. I opened up about his grandfather and Temika just... went there. Live. Unscripted. What came through in that few minutes is the best argument for this work that any skeptic could witness. Some of what we covered: When someone dies, who else dies with them the identity you only had in relationship to that person, gone too Why grief isn't just about death it's about jobs, relationships, friendships, and versions of yourself you had to leave behind The body keeps score where grief actually lives physically and what chronic illness has to do with unprocessed loss The dead don't stay the same age what actually happens to energy and identity on the other side Why "they're at peace" might be shutting your grief down without you realising What the deceased actually communicate in readings and why it's rarely what people expect How to send love to someone who's gone without being a medium or being psychic And the line that will stay with you: grief is just love. if you didn't love them, you wouldn't grieve them.

    Everyone Is Exhausted By The Highlight Reel - Let's BE Real With Christina Pengilly

    Send us Fan Mail EPISODE DISCLAIMER This episode touches on grief, loss, endometriosis, fertility, and mental health. If any of these topics are close to home for you right now we hope this conversation makes you feel less alone, not more overwhelmed. Everyone's Performing Fine. Nobody's Performing Fine. Christina Pengilly We're all exhausted by the highlight reel. In this episode I sit down with Christina Pengilly host of Talk Therapy.. for one of the most honest conversations I've had on this podcast. We didn't follow a plan. We just talked. And what came out of it was exactly what this space needs more of. Christina is someone who has lived multiple lives  elite basketball player, psychology graduate, small business owner, coach, creator and she's built something real out of every single one of them. But behind the polished online presence is a woman navigating the same fears, doubts, and dysregulation that most of us are too scared to admit out loud. This one goes deep. In this episode we cover: The queen of the pivot ..why Christina has never been willing to stay in something just to prove a point and what that's actually cost her The basketball identity ... two ACL reconstructions, losing everything she thought she was at 15, and the years it took to find herself again The psychology degree she stood on stage with and immediately knew she'd never use the traditional way Why she built Talk Therapy right in the middle of her hardest season .. not after she figured it out The online space and why the independent narrative is quietly wrecking relationships Cruise what it actually looks like behind closed doors, how she shows up for him as a man, and why she refuses to speak about him any differently in rooms he's not in Endometriosis, fertility fears, and trusting your body when everyone around you is moving into a chapter you're not sure you're ready for The protector pattern and the moment I turned down a Brisbane Broncos contract because of one Why 10k followers hit different even when you know your worth has nothing to do with a number What you actually owe the people who created you And the one takeaway she's taking into the rest of her life from today Connect with Christina: Instagram: @christinapengilly Podcast: Talk Therapy , available on all platforms Connect with Travis: Instagram: @the.technician__ If this episode hit you somewhere real share it with someone who needs to hear it. Save it. Send it. That's how we change the culture. Let's go.

    Grieving My Kids While They're Still Alive With Luke O'neill

    Send us Fan Mail Grieving My Kids While They're Still Alive — Luke O'Neill Some episodes change you. This is one of them. Luke O'Neill is one of my closest mates ..someone I've known for over 20 years. And for the first time, he sat down and told his story publicly. Four years ago Luke came home from work and his kids were gone. What followed was 3.5 years of family court, $180,000 in legal fees, ambiguous loss, identity collapse, and a fight to stay alive.. not for himself, but so his kids would one day know they were worth fighting for. This episode isn't about the system that failed him. It's about the man who had everything stripped away and refused to break. We go deep on: What ambiguous loss actually is ..and why it might be harder than griefHow Luke future-paced his way through the darkest daysWhat real support looks like when someone is sufferingWhy isolation can be healthy..and when it isn'tThe identity death that comes with losing your role as a fatherHow love ..not anger ..became the thing that kept him goingThis is the conversation men need to be having. No performance. No anger. Just the truth of what it costs to stay standing when everything is taken from you. Part 2 is coming. There's a lot more story to tell. If this episode hit you ..if you've been through something like this or you're in it right now ..reach out. To Luke directly at @luke_o.neill_ on Instagram. Or to me at @thetechnician — I'm always open to hearing what landed for you and what questions you want answered in Part 2. You are not alone in this. Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of grief, family separation, mental health, and the emotional impact of family court on children and parents.
