The Sav Show

I was talking to my old Sensei recently - he congratulated me on the progress I have in my creative pursuits since moving to Melbourne 3 years ago. We touched on my martial arts journey since moving away and he gave me props on my fight walk out (goated walk out btw). 👉 WATCH THE WALK OUT 👉 WATCH THE FULL FIGHT It gave me an idea of talking about my martial arts journey so far, touching on where...

My little brother Dave celebrated his birthday last week, and in typical fashion I reflected on our relationship and decided to make some content out of it. On top of that, Australia celebrated our national day of recognition for service men and women from past and present - ANZAC day. It is a special day of remembrance where we all take a moment to consider the sacrifices of those who have gone b...

How do I know I am getting better at the art of living? How do I know I am living a happier and more fulfilling life? → Seneca has a thought on this… “What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.” I like this a lot. It keeps it simple and to the point. I don’t want to be rich or famous, not as a priority anyway, because neither of these things will bring me inner pea...

What do UFC star Conor McGregor, hip-hop artist Russ and the rock slinging Christian hero David have in common? They were delusional. Through the lens of David’s epic triumph over Goliath we are given countless examples of the heroes potential. Great sporting triumphs, landmark legal settlements and entire wars have been likened to this significant story in our history. But for an underdog to over...

We witnessed something special at UFC 287. Israel Adesanya reclaimed his title by finally overcoming the obstacle that was Alex Pereira (after 3 previous attempts). The fight was short but epic as 2 of the most skilled strikers in MMA history stood in front of each other and technically exchanged blows until Israel finally landed a hammer fist from hell to seal his redemption. In this episode I un...

I sat at my desk, in front of my microphone, with a plan. ‘Make some content on the Israel Adesanya UFC title win.’ I put my mouth up to the microphone, hit record and… nothing came out. Doubt rattled around in my brain and refused me the opportunity to get on with my business. Head in hands, I sat and contemplated throwing the towel in - but then I remembered! I’m a different beast now. Not that...

Today is my lil brothers bday - so let me do the good big brother thing and celebrate him! I have grown into a huge fan of his work and work ethic and am elevated everyday to work alongside and be building creative avenues for ourselves as artists, brothers and friends. If you would like to wish him a happy bday, you can find him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/ruku.music/ If you want...

Today is a new day. Today I present to you the launching of my new podcast: The Sav Show! I launched Slap Happy in October of 2020 because I wanted another place to share my thoughts and ideas - and I believe that I achieved that. The podcast created an avenue for me to build relationships, learn new skills and develop a brand as an entertainer and conversationalist, but for sometime now it hadn’t...
