    Cos I'm Tongan w/ Dre Fangupo & Aisake Tuitupou

    In this episode of Southside by Night, we sit down with Dre Fangupo, one of the most explosive names to come out of the Run It Straight scene. Known for his viral appearances in Runnation , Dre has built a reputation off pure impact, heavy collisions, standing starts, and moments that have put entire divisions on notice. But beyond the clips and the chaos, there’s a mindset behind it all. We get into what it really takes to step into that arena, the mentality behind high-pressure collisions, and the people that helped Dre get to where he is today. This is a conversation about, discipline, resilience and community on and off the field.

    Episode 34 - It's OK to not be the main character

    Decided to drop a solo pod after coming out of a bit of a weird headspace recently while I was getting a root canal. If rambles about main character syndrome, taking ages to get good at stuff and unwatchable visuals dueof terrible lighting and gimble problems then you're in for a treat!
