  • #256 - Alex 'Godly Strong' Simon: Time in prison, overcoming insecurities & UFC heavyweight aspirations.

    Alex Simon was recognised as the strongest man in Australian history & third strongest in the world. The former strongman now cage fighter is the physical personification of confidence & brute force but as Alex describes, it's not always how he felt.


    He spoke of an insecure young boy trying to find his place in the world, how a group of young mates & outlaw behaviour led him to a stint in a maximum security prison, how he discovered his potential between the walls of that prison & how he turned his life towards the noble pursuit of self understanding & excellence.


    An incredibly vulnerable conversation that proves there is far more than meets the eye to the man they call 'Godly Strong'. Alex was kind enough to give me his time in the lead up to his fight with former Australian heavyweight boxing champion & NRL legend John Hopoate & I wish him the very best in his preparations.

  • #255 - Chat GPT asked me 20 thought provoking questions about life.

    I prompted Chat GPT to ask me 20 thought provoking questions about life.

    This episode was honest, reflective & full of the insights I am learning about life & myself.


    The questions:

    1. What do you think is the ultimate purpose of life, and how do you define a meaningful existence?

    2. If you could instantly acquire the ability to understand one thing about the universe, what would it be and why?

    3. How much control do you think we have over our fate, and how much is determined by circumstances or chance?

    4. Do you believe happiness is a choice, or is it something that comes from external factors beyond our control?

    5. If you could live any life you wanted, but had to give up all memories of your past, would you do it? Why or why not?

    6. What do you think is the most important quality for fostering deep, lasting relationships?

    7. In your opinion, what is the role of suffering in life—does it serve a purpose, or is it simply a consequence of being human?

    8. How do you define success, and do you think society’s definition of success is aligned with your own values?

    9. If you could communicate one idea or message to the entire world, what would it be and why?

    10. When you look back on your life in 20 years, what do you hope you will have learned about yourself?

    11. Do you believe we are defined more by our choices or by our circumstances, and why?

    12. What does freedom mean to you, and how do you feel it should be balanced with responsibility?

    13. If you could see the world through someone else’s eyes, whose perspective would you choose, and what would you hope to learn from it?

    14. Do you think we have a moral duty to leave the world better than we found it, and if so, how should we go about it?

    15. How do you think your experiences with failure have shaped who you are today, and what role does failure play in personal growth?

    16. What do you think it means to "live authentically," and how do you know when you're doing it?

    17. If you could change one thing about the way society operates, what would it be and why?

    18. In moments of deep reflection, what are the most important things you feel you've learned about love?

    19. How do you distinguish between what you want and what you truly need, and why is it so difficult for many people to do the same?

    20. If you could spend a day with your future self, what would you ask, and how do you think your future self would respond?

  • #254 - Unlock Confidence, Attract True Love & Win in Life | Tim Robards

    When Tim Robards first stepped onto the set of The Bachelor Australia a decade ago, he hoped for love but never knew how much his life would change. He walked off the show with Anna, the love of his life, and now the mother of their two beautiful children.


    Since then, Tim has transformed his life and career in ways few could have predicted. He became the most featured man on the cover of Men's Health, built a fitness empire, launched a rosé brand (Elle Wines), and has begun making waves in the entertainment world with a three-year stint on the hit Australian soap Neighbours, the start of an acting career he hopes to take to the big screen in the exciting roles ahead of him.


    On the surface, it might seem like Tim’s life has been a smooth ride—good looks, a cover model physique, and a shot at fame on one of the country's biggest reality TV shows. But behind the success lies a story of hard work, personal growth, and overcoming challenges.


    In this candid conversation, Tim opens up about the self-development he did to attract true love, the challenges of being branded 'The Bachelor,' and how he’s continuously worked to build confidence in himself—especially in his acting career. If you’re looking to level up in life, love, and career, this episode is a must-listen!
