Before The Dip

We continue to listen to Ravis running journey, and all the kudos that has come along with "entering" a 50km run. And is the kudos of entering the race better than doing all the work that it takes to run the race. We all have that mate that says he is going to do a marathon and then never really does, I don't think Ravi is that bloke, but who knows?

Excursion time. A walk around long reef golf course before a swim at Collaroy.

The boys are riding high on the second wave.

ok so its time to sort your shit out fellas. too much drama ain't good for anyone. start with the smallest achievable thing and do it.

What a great chat we had this morning. We hope you like it. Feel free to drop us a. Message at @beforethedip

Damo is a huge fan of our show and has been a long time sponsor of our show along with PorschTesla. We talk to him about how this virus impacts our immune system and what we can do to increase our likelihood of avoiding getting ill. This is a great one to listen to right now. It starts slow but builds into some great content.

Is this our new normal.

Here is another look at the beer promotion that has gotten way out of hand. In the grip of panic we discuss everything from apocalyptic recipes to classic toilet paper hoarding.

just listen and enjoy.

we had a great chat with long time friend of Before the Dip Ryan Barraclough. Ryan is on a mission to help men to reach their potential in life. And while that statement doesnt go near to really describing what it is he's doing, this podcast dives straight in. Ryan is running a retret in May 22-24 north west of sydney called WISEMAN. HE'S KINDLY OFFERED OUR LISTENERS A DISCOUNT OFF THE ALREADY INC...

part 3 of the trilogy just like Rocky 3 and not like star wars part 6

In pt 2 of this trilogy we discuss life’s ups and down and how similar they are to hiking through the bush. We also have a cameo from some of the Vipers Running club. A men’s running group based in Manly and set up to help guys connect and work on their mental health game.

PT 1 of our 3 part spit to manly walk recordings.

We have both attended workshops focusing on mental health and suicide. It has been very helpful. here is a link to a bunch of  resources. if youd like to attend or organise a workshop please get in touch with gotcha4life. https://www.lifeline.org.au/about-lifeline/contact-us or call 13 11 14 https://www.gotcha4life.org/ https://www.headabovewater.com.au/ https://www.mananchor.com.au/

The boys discuss the latest fear inducing virus to hit our society and wonder if there is a link between falling sales in legacy beer brands like Corona as well as the rise of boutique breweries and the corona Virus. Obviously it’s a serious disease but this is our take on it and a little sense of humour is needed to get through this trigger free.

the first episode of 2020 and it starts with a bang. if you want to join us for Head Above Water charity swim here is the link. were swimming at 3 am if you want to join our group. https://www.headabovewater.com.au/

We're all familiar with a medal ceremony or the kids getting up in front of the school and parents to receive an award. Well in this episode we discuss how to make this event even more fun. Hint: the power is in your own hands. Ravi's moving house and enjoying all there is to enjoy when it comes to one of the most stressful events in anyones life. Also dont forget 2019 Muster, everyone is invited...

Success leaves clues. This episode we introduce the concept of setting minimum standards for your own behaviours. Where is your line in the sand?

A fast paced conversation covering a set of seemingly unrelated topics with a bunch of lols thrown in.

We had such a fun chat with Gus about mens mental health, suicide and being there for each other. www.gotcha4life.org

The gents discuss their last event 'Real Men Talk' and introduce the next get together 'The BTD muster' we also go into talking about how nature provides stress that helps us get stronger and that we're equipped to deal with the stressors and sometimes in our modern life we can avoid all stress that stops us from growing and makes us more fragile.

We were so stoked to be joined by my old mate and third member of Men of the Sea swim squad. We discussed careers, life and early signs of neurodegenerative disease. Perfect for a birthday pick-me-up. we hope you enjoy this episode and apologies for uploading a version with an imbedded metronome beat. that said its great for cerebellar training and right brain activation.

The boys interview two of our previous guests Steve from Man Anchor and Damian Kristof from 100notout and Wellness Guys podcast at a live event to support mens mental health and wellbeing at Ruby Lane in Manly. It's a dodgy recording but we hope you like it.
