Man That Can with Lachlan Stuart

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Social media gets blamed for making men lonely, distracted, and insecure, but what if the real problem is how we use it and how little we say out loud? We start with a confronting stat from Australia: 43% of blokes say they don’t have any good friends. From there, we share a practical, no-fluff framework for turning social media into a tool for personal growth,...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. 12 years ago my life looked very different. I was broke. I was putting $20 of fuel in my car because that's all I could afford without risking my card declining. My wife was paying for our dinners. I lacked confidence, I didn't have purpose, and I wasn't happy with where I was at. Now I have an incredible marriage, a career that takes me around t...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. We share a four-step process to handle pressure by getting clear on what you’re carrying, then turning it into real-world practice. We pull lessons from a gamified workshop format and show how better communication and support make hard goals feel doable.  • naming the pressure you’re carrying instead of hiding it  • getting specific about vague labels like fina...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. At 35, I can look back at my 20s and see exactly what I wish I'd understood earlier. Not because I failed, but because figuring things out took longer than it needed to. And if I can shortcut that for you, that's worth sharing. In this episode I share 4 things that — if I'd really embraced them before 30 — would have changed everything about how...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. I'm about to attempt something that's never been done. 4,400 kilometres across Australia. Roughly 44 to 50 days. A fundraising goal 4x bigger than the 58 marathons. A team that isn't fully assembled yet. And sponsors who keep saying no. The run hasn't started, and the hardest part is already here. In this episode I share why I'm doing i...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. When your first baby is coming, two fears sit side by side. If I step back from the business... will it suffer? If I don't step back... what will I miss at home? Six months into fatherhood, I can tell you: you don't have to choose. But you do have to prepare. In this episode I share the 3 things I did before Freddie arrived that let me take a month of...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. 11 people showed up to the final screening of my documentary in Perth. I walked to the front of the room, looked out at a lot of empty seats, and instantly felt like a failure. I was embarrassed. I thought, how could only 11 people show up? Then I caught myself. Because a year ago, I would have dreamed of flying across the country to have 11 people pay to watch...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. You hit the goal. You built the business. You made the money. And then you looked around and realised, something's missing. Your marriage feels distant. Your mates have moved on. You barely recognise yourself in the mirror. And the next goal is already lined up, because stopping means facing the fact that the last one didn't fill the gap you thought i...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. You know what you should be doing. You've got goals. You're probably going well in life. But somewhere along the way you dipped, and now the things that used to feel easy feel hard. You're sleeping in. Skipping the gym. Having that extra beer. Scrolling when you should be doing. And waiting to feel motivated again before you make a move. That&apo...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. You cannot become the man you want to be until you own the man you've become. Four years ago a bloke came to me doing FIFO work, seven on, seven off. His marriage was falling apart. He was blaming his roster, his wife, his circumstances. Everything except himself. In this episode I walk through the exact 3-step framework we used to turn that around, and wh...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Over the weekend I was called selfish and told my marriage would end in divorce. All because I went on a 3-hour run. My wife knew. She supported it. Because we have a system that most couples don't, and in this episode I'm sharing exactly what it is. It's called the Calendar Lock. One conversation, two calendars, three locks. And it's how Am...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Yesterday morning I was on a walk with my son Freddie, a moment that's supposed to be just us, and I was scrolling Instagram. Then I looked up. And there he was. That moment hit me harder than anything I've read about screen time or presence. Because I know better. And I was still doing it. In this episode I share the 3-step process I'm now using...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Last weekend taught me a huge lesson about marriage, and it started with one rule my wife created that we now never break. If you keep telling your wife "things will calm down after this busy season," this episode is for you. I've coached men for a decade, business owners, athletes, FIFO workers, and the pattern before every marriage breakdown is...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. I used to think providing meant working hard and earning good money. Then a mate's wife told me something that stopped me in my tracks, and made me realise I was quietly eroding the trust my own wife had in me, without even knowing it. In this episode, I break down the three reasons your family might be losing trust in you, why money alone isn't enoug...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. This morning at breakfast, I told my wife I'm locking in my next 45-day fitness challenge. I know how that sounds when you're running a business, married, and raising a young family. But that's exactly why most men never do the things they say they will. They wait for the perfect season. They say "one day." And quietly, that one day fad...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Dan Gillen grew up working cattle stations in the Northern Territory, a life of ringers, rodeos, and motorbikes. At 17, he accidentally ran over a man who had fallen asleep drunk in the middle of a dark road. At 25, he lost his sister Tiff to suicide. Out of both of those moments came a calling. Today Dan is a counsellor and equine-assisted therapist operating...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. You walk in the door. Your body's home, but your head is still at work, the invoices, the tough conversation, the subby who didn't show up. Your wife and kids can feel it, even if nothing's been said. In this episode, I break down why home feels tense after work, even when nothing's actually wrong, and the simple framework I use to make sure...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Are you always the one reaching out to your mates? Always the one organising the catch-up, making the call, keeping the friendship alive?

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Boring marriages aren't broken marriages. Nobody's fighting. Nobody's unhappy enough to leave. You just feel flat, two people running the same household. And that's exactly what makes them dangerous. In this episode, I break down why the spark dies in long-term relationships, and more importantly, the exact system I use with clients to bring...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. I put these 7 things on Instagram a few weeks ago. It hasn't stopped getting comments and notifications since. So I brought it here, because this is a conversation every man needs to have. If you want a successful life and a great marriage, most men are focusing on the wrong things. They're building the career, hitting the goals, ticking the boxes, an...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. If you're in your mid-30s or 40s and your fitness feels like it's slipping, this episode is for you. A strong body after 35 looks completely different to what it did in your 20s. Real life is pulling you in every direction: work, kids, mortgage, relationships. And the old approach, training hard, recovering fast, bouncing back,isn't cutting it th...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Ask 10 men what a good man actually is, and you'll get 10 different answers. Ask most of them to live it out, and they go silent.  We've spent more than a decade arguing about what masculinity is, picking it apart, telling men what they shouldn't be. And somewhere in the noise, we forgot to give men something to aim at. In this episode, I walk yo...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. You could be surrounded by people at a work party, at home with your family, at a barbecue with your mates, and still feel completely alone. That's not a weakness. That's what loneliness actually looks like for most men. And 43% of us are living it right now. In this episode, I break down why male loneliness is one of the most urgent conversations we...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. When life gets hard, most people sacrifice the one thing they need most, their body. Sleep drops. Training stops. The habits that kept them going disappear overnight. In this episode, I share the nine-month period where I did exactly that, moved back from playing elite rugby in France, didn't know what I was doing with my life, and numbed it all with parti...

Message me your 'Takeaways'. Life as a new dad has flipped everything. But some things are non-negotiable. In this video I break down why I'm still prioritising training, sleep, and mobility even through the chaos of fatherhood, and why these three things have nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with who I want to be. If you're going through a big life season and feeli...
