It is a privilege to sit in the same room as these 3 ladies. I often share the gym floor with them but I found it really fun having a conversation with them about things we don't really talk about in the weight room.

Yoong, Holly, and Aeva share a common passion for lifting heavy weights and competing in powerlifting. We talk things about women and lifting heavy weights and loving the journey to better health in the "unconventional" way of lifting big weights.

We discuss the change in women's sports and life in our mid-20s as well which I really enjoyed getting 3 perspectives on.

Well, this was spontaneous. Nic and I spent a good amount of time learning about our relationship. Late last year, Nicole told me that she wanted to go to Bali for 3 months. This was hard to swallow but she and I managed to work through this processing period and here we are now.

Don't get me wrong, this was hard to go through with the opening of the 2nd X Gym. But since then, I'm feeling better than ever.

It was good to back this episode with my previous one with John. Ally is someone that has been in the industry of PT around the same time as me. We talk things on why she took on PT and how she overcame discouragement at work and in life.

Really enjoyed having a chat with my boy Galvz. One of the only people I can really relate to in the fitness industry. This guy has been through it doing it rough in the industry to now being in a leadership role.

He talks about what he values most and how he makes his next decision for his career and his life.

I came home from a long day of work and I can finally put thoughts into words for this episode. Completely spontaneous and I want to practice this a lot more for the podcast.

Here is how I breakdown backing yourself on whatever it is you're going through. We're all going through something these days and sometimes the biggest support you seek is the support from yourself

The first time I saw Kevin was on stage at an event presenting his knowledge on NFTs and cryptocurrency. I told myself, wow it'd be nice to spend some time with this guy. Reason was that the way he presented himself on stage gave me the sense that he lives life a certain way.

The guy with many businesses to his name, Kev talks about his passion for building businesses from scratch from the age of 7. From selling drawings to touring with Jessica Mauboy, to starting an eco-resort business in Thailand. He knows how to take his limits to the next level.

If you're ever in Thailand, be sure to say hello to him and stay at https://www.jaiyenresort.com/

It was an honour to sit with this guy

There is this quote that keeps Boagsy going on with his life. As someone that suffers from depression and ADHD, he really does keep it together and does it with class.

I've been training with Boagsy for almost 4 years and I have never known that he has depression. But how does he do it? Someone that has gone through some rough patches of life speaks about how he is now in a place where money isn't what brings him happiness. Just the little things in life really...

I was not expecting my conversation with Will to go like this. I was expecting a talk about powerlifting and wanting to be the best in the world.

Little did I know the risk this guy takes to put his mental health first.

What even is peace of mind?

Everyone is going through something right now. We are all at a point in our lives where we can get easily overwhelmed by what everyone else is doing.

At the young age of 19, this generation can easily get influenced by what everyone else is doing. But so can 29-year-olds.

Gabbie brings a lot of wisdom at a young age and she speaks how she thinks in her circumstances.

Bia and I go way back when I used to be a dancer. What amazes me about this girl is that she always goes with her gut feeling. If she has a hunch, she will follow it and go with the flow.

It has led her to meet her husband in another city in the country. We talk about curiosity and how it can really change your life if you just look into things a little more
