Backdoor Banter Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with aspiring professional boxer Will, who shares how a serious shoulder injury forced him to slow down, reflect, and dive deep into self-improvement. Now juggling recovery with social media marketing, Will talks about discipline, identity, and finding his "why" outside the ring.

This episode is a special one, we took Backdoor Banter to the U.S. and linked up with our cousins for a deep, unfiltered conversation on mindset, personal growth, and the lessons we’ve learned growing up. 🎙️

We sat down with Adrian, the youngest in our bloodline, and Sid, his genius older brother (literally, he started college at 16!). But instead of a usual sit-down, we switched things up, filming in the car, teleporting across Orange County, and even hitting the streets for some spontaneous interviews.

In this episode, we get real about the HSC experience. Those weeks of stress, the pressure to perform, and the gut-wrenching feeling when results didn’t go as planned. For many of us, the HSC felt like everything at the time, but looking back, we can see how those scores don’t define who we are or where we’re headed.

We dive into our own journeys since the HSC, the unexpected paths we took, and the realisation that university isn’t the only route to success. Whether you’re wrapping up the HSC, didn’t get the results you hoped for, or are just questioning what comes next, join us as we break down why there’s no “one right way” in life.
