Brett Sizeland - an original Strong Dad

Brett shares his life journey and experiences and discusses his background, starting as a personal trainer and opening his own gyms, dealing with twin babies with health issues, and his positive mindset and advice for others. Key Takeaways Brett started his fitness career by opening his first gym in his early 20s. He faced challenges when his twin boys had health issues, but they were saved through medical intervention. The boys were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, which led Brett to have to change his career path. Brett emphasizes the importance of enjoying the little things in life and reflecting on the good. Helping others, even in small ways, can bring happiness and fulfillment. He encourages reaching out for help as people are generally willing to assist. Brett's advice is to be kind to oneself and to others and to offer strategies and support to those who need it.

4B2 Episode 1 John Peck

This is a podcast aiming to provide positive messaging and inspiration for men, including guidance for the host's two young daughters. The guest, John Peck, discusses challenges faced in predominantly male environments, the importance of sensitivity, and the need for positive role models for men. Key Takeaways The podcast focuses on positive messaging and inspiration for men and aims to help those who need it, regardless of gender or background. John Peck highlights the challenge of balancing energy and sensitivity in predominantly male environments, such as the police and the Army. Male-female groups tend to have a more sensitive and different dynamic compared to all-male groups in discussions. There is a need for more positive role modeling and support networks for men in society. The conversation touches on the difficulty of understanding each other's experiences between men and women. The host's intention is to help men who aspire to be better by providing positive role models and combating negative behaviors. The guest's book, "How to Adventure: The Seven Seas to Success," is promoted.

#34 Eduardo 'Teta' Rios - Ju Jitsu

Eduardo was trained under Ricardo Liborio, a legend in the BJJ (Brazilian Ju Jitsu) world. He now lives in Oslo and is helping to run Frontline Academy, which is a multi-location fight sports club in Norway that dominates in competition across Europe. I am a complete beginner whiter than white belt in Ju Jitsu but I love it and find the experience of training it fascinating because it goes beyond 'sport' and 'fitness' and challenges your ego, your resilience and your patience! Teta has been instrumental in helping me to learn this and I am so honoured he agreed to sit down and talk to me. We talk about the sport and his journey. We talk about passion and dedication. I loved the conversation and hope that you will enjoy it too. You can follow Eduardo on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/erios_tetabjj/ If you're in Norway and want to try out BJJ or another fight sport then check out Frontline Academy here: https://www.frontlineacademy.no/ You can find video version of the podcast here: https://youtu.be/YFXSQccOMl4

Fitness, motivation, jokes and a dog.. that's his strapline but Mark is in the process of amassing a diverse and engaged following. He posts videos about his fitness journey with his intended outcome being 'above average'. However, consistently achieving 'above average' has of course meant that he is now facing some challenges of being quite a bit more than 'above average' in certain things! So we cover his life, his journey and touch on some interesting points around inspiration (what it should mean to be inspired) and also mental health.
