Steak Dinner Podcast

Josh and Kieran catch up after a break and talk about getting back into work, losing the holiday glow, and easing back into routine. The chat drifts through travel, fitness, cost of living, and the background noise of modern work, including a few honest thoughts on AI and where it’s starting to show up. Nothing structured. No big lessons. Just two blokes talking it through.

In this final episode before the Christmas break, Josh and Kieran ditch New Year’s resolutions and walk through a sharper framework: the  Christmas Bloke Audit .

We talk through the science of stress, why men get stuck in negative thought spirals, and what co...

Mateship runs deep in the Aussie DNA — but in 2025, it looks a little different. Most blokes will lift a couch for a mate but won’t ask how he’s really going.

In this episode, Josh and Kieran close out the Reset Trilogy with the toughest challenge yet: your mental game.

Suicide is still the leading cause of death for men 15–44, and we’re pulling no punches on what that means. Fro...
