The Steak Lad Experience

In Episode 68 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with Jordi Donaldson, otherwise known as @jordinary.life through his respective social media platforms.  Both myself and Jordi are both based in Melbourne and lead a very similar lifestyle, so after crossing paths at an event earlier in the year we connected and naturally this conversation ensued.  During the podcast we touched on early moments...

In Episode 67 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with Melbourne real estate agent, Zed Nasheet.  Given my background in Real Estate and a previous connection in my formative years as an agent, this was a conversation I had been eyeing off for a long time, so to finally get it done was a real privilege.  During the podcast we touched on what his family went through prior to coming into Austral...

In Episode 66 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with one of the all time great blokes, Jack Hanley.  Personally we go back a long way to the junior football days and connected recently through social media, so when the opportunity for a conversation arose it was an easy decision to make!  During the podcast we touched on his formative years, a number of eye opening stories in relation to his...

In Episode 63 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was genuinely privileged to sit down with fellow Carnivore, Ray Hicks.  I have been a fan of Ray through his social media platform ‘Carnivore Ray’ since its inception, so whilst he was visiting Melbourne recently I shot my shot and invited him on the podcast. Having had the chance to listen and digest the podcast prior to its release, without going into...

In Episode 62 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with the host of the Lifestyle & Fitness Podcast, Danny Kennedy. Danny is someone who I have been admiring from afar for a very long time and having started his own podcast in 2016, is what I would consider to be a genuine podcast Goat.  During our chat we touched on the critical importance of taking the first step, how to manage self doubt...

In Episode 61 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with my long time friend and professional Boxer, Campbell Somerville.  Myself and Campbell go back to my amateur boxing days and as I mentioned during the podcast, he was one of people I initially asked to come on the show in the weeks leading up to the first Episode launching so to finally get it done was unreal!!!  During the podcast we touch...

In Episode 58 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with ex AFL footballer and all time great bloke, Steven Baker.  Steven is a man who has done a lot of podcasts in his time and as such, I wanted our conversation to be unlike any other he had ever done before.  After having the chance to re listen to our conversation, I am convinced we achieved this goal and for that I am very grateful! During...

In Episode 57 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down and enjoyed a beautiful Steak with Ashlee McNamara.  Myself and Ash connected on the beautiful world of social media after I noticed a story she posted which provided an insight into her eye opening early childhood.

In Episode 55 of The Steak Lad Experience, I had the privilege to sit down with my friends Sean Bell & Mitch Viney.

In Episode 53 of The Steak Lad Experience, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Louis Phillips.  Louis is a veteran social media influencer who is best known for his beginner running content, which ultimately inspired the creation of the successful app he co-founded called INTVL.  I am often shocked meeting people who have a large social media following and getting to witness who they...

In Episode 52 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was privileged to sit down with one of the all time greats, Thomas Baulch.  Similar to lasts weeks guest, Thomas was someone I had been interested to talk to since the early days of this podcast and it most certainly did not disappoint.
