Let's Just Talk

Andre Lafond made history on the race car circuit when he became the first Haitian American to win a Formula Ford Championship race in the UK and his story on how he got to this point is a fascinating journey of inspiration and perseverance. In this weeks podcast, I talk to Andre about the motorsport world and just how difficult it is to not only find a car to race in, but to find a way to win. Th...

Outside of family, it's rare these days to find people that you can call family and who would be there for you at the drop of a hat. I've been lucky to find 2 of these people in my life and to be lucky enough to travel to Melbourne to celebrate the 40th birthday of Glenn and to sit down with my other best mate Matt, and have the 3 of us "chew the fat" for a couple of hours. I don...

I want for nothing else in this world but to provide a place where my girls feel safe, heard and appreciated and to give them everything I can to help them become the best versions of whoever they are to be in life. I know I'm not perfect and I have a lot to learn about parenting, but this discussion I had with Lael has allowed me to take a BIG step forward in that journey and I know my girls...

After both Max and I released a book about intermittent fasting back in 2017 and I moved to live in France in that same year, it was inevitable that we would run into each other. I had max on my podcast WAY back in 2017 and while I've watched from a far the huge changes Max has gone through and the incredible work he has produced in that time, it's been a long time since we have both sat d...

As a father of 2 cheeky but fun girls, I constantly worry if what I'm doing and providing to my girls in the form of parenting, is helping them be the best that they can be. Should I allow them on their iPads and if so, how much time is OK, is it OK to swear in front of them, when is the best time to teach them new skills and is the drill sergeant or honey giver the best approach and whats the...

I have both, never understood the foot or those who choose a profession that is all about the foot. With that said, I understand the importance the feet play in our body and how we move about and it's why I reached out to Dr Steven Singh to come on the show for a chat all about feet. The feet, just like the tires of a car, are the part of your body that are always in contact with the ground and ar...

We've had simple and positive back and forth communications over the years and I've always enjoyed the content she produces and the similar passion for creating the best outcome for her clients...

It's very clear to anyone looking in, that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to fashion and making myself look stylish. I have a wardrobe full of black, white and grey T-shirts and similar coloured shorts and that's the extent of my mixing and matching and I don't venture too far from it. With that said, I think when you look great and you have clothes that fit well and go with your mood...

Brigitte is someone I've know and worked with for many years and I've always enjoyed the level of energy she brings to any conversation I've had with her and this weeks podcast discussion was no exception. Brigitte has been through a lot in her life and she brings a very empathetic and caring voice and nature to the room and the people who are lucky enough to spend time with her and I invite you a...

I've been on a number fat loss journey's over my life and I've also helped 1000's of people do the same and for the most part I've been successful in not only helping those clients who come to me for help, but also myself. In 2022 though, I felt burnt out both mentally and physically and decided to completely stop focusing on the food I was eating and instead drive my attention towards the other p...

This weeks podcast is a topic that people usually shy away from and don't want to talk about as it brings up emotions of fear, hurt, loss and sorrow. However, as I continue to expand the breadth of this podcast and open the discussions up to ALL kinds of people and topics, I embraced this weeks guest and dove into the business and world that is funerals and being a funeral celebrant. We didn't sto...

I've always thought that in order to sing like the great singers over the generations that you need a combination of an insane work ethic combined with amazing genetics, just like those who can run sub 10 second 100m or pain incredible works of art. However, after going through many classical avenues of singing lessons, Adam Mishan felt like the restrictive views a lot of teachers put on their stu...

I know I'm not alone when I share the fact that I get a high level of anxiety when getting on a plane. I'm a control freak at heart and HATE being the passenger in any vehicle and this feeling's at it's most when traveling by air and in a tin tube held up by physics that they actually can't quite explain but know it works because planes stay up in the air and don't fall out of the sky. This week I...

In a world where inflation is rising and no one knows how high interest rates will go, it can be a scary time to buy a house and take on a large mortgage. But, that's exactly what Amy and I have done and while we are terrified about what is to come, we are equally excited about planting our feet into our dream home and what that home will represent to our kids over the years to come. All of this w...

I can remember a time when going online to find love was considered weird and if you did meet someone online, you would both make up stories on how you met so that you didn't have to say you met online. Jump to 2023, and it's almost the ONLY way people find love and it's weird to hear that people found each other in the "real world" However, is this a good thing? On this weeks podcast, I chat with...

Natalya Scudder is a Perth local whe...

Having watched my Nan suffer through the debilitating effects that both Dementia and Parkinson's have on the human body and mind, working with an older population and doing what I can to help prevent those issues arising or making those later years easier to navigate have always been a high priority of mine. As a result of working in the health science field for over 20 years, I'm lucky to have wo...

Zach Lazar is a strength coach and someone I've not only had on the podcast before, but someone I've spent YEARS working alongside and always enjoyed the time we had together.

Zach has spent years working on his craft as a strength coach and while...

My wife is a star Project Mine Geologist and we moved to Perth in the middle of the pandemic to allow Amy to get back into the mining profession and to see her chase her dreams and make her career a priority on our household. This allowed me to take a step back from my career and the grind of running a business and in this weeks podcast we discuss what it is to be a FIFO worker and family, how tha...

Nigel Dalton is a social scientist to the core and someone who I've had the pleasure of working with, spending time with and learning from for over a decade.

Nigel and I sit down to talk...

The vast majority of the clients I work with are females who range in age from 35-65 and I'm always doing my best to stay up to date with the latest evidence on exercise, nutrition and ways to live a happy, healthy and balanced life. A topic I'm not well versed on though and something that ALL of my females clients will go through and something that will have varying degrees of effects on their ab...

I've had Mahalia Brown on the podcast before and in that previous episode,  she spoke openly about the struggles she's gone through when dealing  with her families and her own personal anxiety and depression. I asked Mahalia back on the podcast as I've been lucky enough to not  only work with her but also call her a close friend and over the past  few years she has worked...

Happiness can be a very hard thing to describe and so when you ask someone... "What does happiness mean to you" It can be hard for them to put into words. However, for most people, you can ask them if they think their life is THRIVING" or not and they can give an answer to you straight away. This week I had the opportunity to speak with positive psychotherapist, Marie McLeod who recently launched...
