Today’s show featuring Dr Kirk Wilson and a passionate Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner. Kirk is a graduate from both the University of Technology, Sydney and the Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is a highly skilled and experienced acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner. We chatted about anxiety, depression and some interesting studies into alternative treatments which Kirk completed his PHD on. These studies showed 87% remission rate and an average reduction in symptom severity of 55%. These are some absolutely amazing statistics. Throughout our conversation today we chatted about all of this and more. Kirk is a listener of the podcast and reached out to me to share his story and I’m grateful that he did as the conversation was very rich. He evens chats about some changes he’s made, a dream he’s chasing as a result of prompts from this show and I love hearing those stories because that’s the what’s at the core of why I do this show.  See acast.com/privacy for p

This week I chat to Chief Brabon who I had on the show back in October of 2016. This time I happened to be in Sydney and so went to Chief’s house and we sat and shot the breeze about everything that’s happened in his life since that time. Chief has been in the fitness world for a long long time. In fact he was a trainer for the original Gladiators TV show back in the original series where his job was get to the Gladiators themselves ready for the show. They’re athletes but truth is no-one looks good in a one piece grey lycra so Chief had to do what he could to improve that situation and look after the viewing audiences optical nerves in the process. Duty of care and all that jazz. lol These days Chief has hit fame as the celebrity trainer of choice. He really hit the headlines with the amazing transformation of Guy Sebastion and his wife Jules. Then a host of other celebrities where he gets them ready for upcoming roles or body transformation reveals and the like. The best part is he uses a system that YOU ca

This week we’re again on the Melbourne March of guests. I had the good fortune of setting down with Danny Kennedy. Danny is a fellow podcaster who hosts his own show The Fitness and Lifestyle Podcast which was recently featured in the No.1 spot for itunes health and fitness podcasts. A HUGE effort. On top of that Danny is a former professional athlete, a fitness competitor with a crazy rig on him and easily had the best hair in the room during this podcast (check back on my Instagram for the comparison). I was a very distant second. But more than that I found Danny to be shit hot bloke. No BS. Knowledgeable and someone I needed more time with (there’s a story there). I got a bit lost, or at least my uber driver did and I arrived 15 minutes late for the recording. Danny had managed to squeeze me into a tight window so my late arrival really pushed us for time. I promise to revisit with Danny down the track but with all that aside this is a great episode and very informative.  See acast.com/priva

If you don't plan your days or weeks then you're open to whatever happens to you throughout the week.

Whilst in Melbourne recently I went out of my way to record as much content as possible for the show. This week I sat down with Travis Jones who is a fitness entrepreneur. Personally I’m not a massive fan of the word entrepreneur because everyone calls themselves one these days. Gary Vee has made it popular to be an entrepreneur. Just search entrepreneur into your podcast topic search and see how many shows are aimed at that area. BUT – Travis is a true entrepreneur. He founds and runs RBT – Results Based Training – that’s his core business but he also runs a digital marketing company and in fact that’s how I first stumbled across him. A few years back when I was still in Toowoomba and owned my gym I saw Travis pop up everywhere teaching people how to market their fitness businesses. I actually thought about taking him on as my coach but then my business sold so I never did take that step. Recently he popped up on my Instagram and I thought ‘he’d be a great bloke to have on the show’ so I did what I do a

A few weeks back I was flicking around the internet which I tend to do always looking at motivational, inspirational content – particularly video because I like to consume them in the mornings before I kick into my day and whilst doing so someone in my social media network shared a video from Beau Miles where he ran 3 miles to start and then 1 mile every hour on the hour for 24 hours. In between laps around his block, exactly one mile, he worked his way through a list of odd jobs from playing scrabble to building a table and everything in between. The video was called A MILE AN HOUR and it’s fantastic. I just loved it and reached out to connect. It turns out Beau is from Melbourne and actually teaches at Monash University so I dropped into the University when I was in Melbourne and we recorded this episode. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting with Beau and I reckon you’ll find heaps of gold in this episode.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for pri

In most situations in life the right choice is not the easiest choice and having the ability to make the right choice over the easy choice is what separates successful people from people that just wish they could achieve that thing. Never look for the easy road team.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They say inspired people inspire people and you'd have to look long and hard to find anyone as inspired as Lachie Stuart. Lachie is an Elite Performance Coach and is someone well worth following on instagram and facebook We had a great chat around where he came from and how he got to where he's at now. It's a great journey with some powerful insights and amazing self-awareness for a man just 27 years old. I really hope you enjoy the show.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Knowing what to do is not the problem. The problem is that people don't do what they know. In this day and age there's information readily available to us and yet people still procrastinate, pretending they don't know what to do.

This week I want you to be an absolute fanatic about your goals, your dreams and your life. Be obsessed.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a real pleasure to sit down with former Special Forces Soldier - Tim Thomas. A man with some deep insights into the behaviours of humans and the ways in which we sabotage ourselves and some great ideas to get us out of our own heads and back into society. We chat about everything from fighting MMA back int he good old days through to Special Forces Selection where he was known as POPS because he was the old guy at 30yo. Then to the next phase of life which is all about dealing with transition, loss of identity and then redefining who you are. I thoroughly enjoyed this chat and think you will to. I have no doubt Tim is someone I will need to have on the show again. Tim Thomas is the Commando in Your Corner.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
