The final episode.

It’s been a wild ride—hundreds of chats, stories, and honest conversations about life, growth, and the pursuit of something real.

For the finale, I sit down with Kaine Hovey to talk about life in Australia right now—how everyday Aussies are feeling about the country, immigration, music, AI, and a bunch of other topics that hit close to home.

No script. No agenda. Just two blokes having a real conversation to close the chapter on The Average Man Podcast.

Thank you for being part of the journey

The so-called culture war is everywhere—but who’s really pulling the strings?

This week I go solo to unpack the noise: the need to step back from social media to clear your head, but also the responsibility to stay connected to the ideas and political decisions that actually matter. We talk about independent journalists, the white noise and negativity online, and why finding truth in the middle is harder—and more important—than ever.

I share how I’m trying to find my voice, stay open-minded, and promote unity, while still standing firm in my beliefs.

If you’re feeling stuck between outrage and apathy, this one’s for you.

The culture war isn’t just headlines anymore—it’s real, and it just turned deadly.

This week I dive into the “woke mind virus,” the rising tensions it’s created, and the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk.

What does this mean for free speech, for politics, and for the way we live in Australia and beyond?

No hype. No spin. Just raw thoughts on a world that feels like it’s shifting under our feet.

Where do you even start with health and fitness? And once you start, how do you keep it going?

This week I’m going solo—talking about the ups and downs of building a health journey that lasts, why looking at politics through a balanced lens matters more than ever, and how conspiracy theories are shaping conversations here in Australia.

No hype. No bias. Just thoughts, questions, and a little perspective from my corner of the world.

What happens when two podcasters from the top and the bottom of the country sit down together?

This week I’m joined by Sav from The Sesh with Sav out of Adelaide. Sav’s a fellow fight fan and a guy who doesn’t shy away from real conversations—whether it’s with fighters, musicians, criminals, or lawyers..

We talked combat sports, podcasting, and the raw stories that come out when you put a mic in front of the right people.

If you love fights, real talk, and podcasts with no filter—this one’s for you

What happens when the guy who’s built his life around fhealth and fitness is losing his battle with alcohol?

This week I sat down with Luke Clarke, founder of Sweet AF Mornings. After years of abuse, shame, and hitting rock bottom, Luke made the call—sobriety. Two years later, his life looks completely different.

We spoke about the darkest moments, the turning point, and the power of his morning rituals that keep him sharp, grounded, and sober.

If you’ve ever struggled with alcohol—or felt stuck in cycles you’re ashamed of—this one’s for you.

What would your life look like without the habits that are holding you back?

The last 6 months broke me down. But it also forced me to rebuild.

Through diet, movement, connection and building routines that actually serve me—I’ve shifted from survival to growth.

No quick fixes. No silver bullets. Just consistency and positive actions that changed my outlook and my life.

Cutting back on booze, social media, and the 24/7 chaos of the world—this solo episode is a raw, honest reflection on finding clarity, purpose, and maybe even a bit of peace. I’m just an average bloke figuring it out, asking the big questions, and inviting you to come along for the ride.

Ever hit a point in life where, from the outside, everything looks good—but inside, you feel like you’re quietly falling apart? This week’s guest has lived that story. She was crushing it in a high-level legal career, ticking all the boxes of what a “successful” life is supposed to look like—until her body literally shut her down. A rare autoimmune diagnosis forced her to step off the treadmill and ask the question most of us avoid: What the hell am I doing with my life?

From there, she tore it all apart and rebuilt it on her terms. What came out of that decade-long mess was something she now calls The Art of Bending Time. It’s not a hack. It’s not productivity porn. It’s a systematic, whole-life approach to getting clear, reclaiming your time, your energy, your joy—and not needing to blow up your life to do it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck living someone else’s version of “a good life,” this conversation might just wake something up in you.

This week's guest is Sammy Harper. A 28 year old electrician turned fulltime house flipper in just 6 months from getting started.

We chat about the intereresting world of money partners, private lenders and joint ventures along with the logistics of house flipping as a fulltime endeavour.

We touch on mindset, ignoring the naysayers and finding better ways to create an income in an ever increasing economy.

Tune in to hear a great breakdown of why NOW is the time to stop talking, and start doing whatver it is you really want to be doing
