In this episode of Beyond Limits, we dive into one of the most important foundations of personal growth: your Self Image.

How you see yourself shapes how you perform, what you believe you’re capable of, and ultimately the results you create in your life. If you want to grow, achieve, and push Beyond Limits, it starts with the identity you hold within.

In this conversation, we unpack:
What self-image actually is and why it controls your life
 - How the stories you tell yourself lock you into old patterns
 - The 5 practical steps to build a resilient self image
 - How to redefine failure so it becomes fuel, not fear
 - Why your environment is the fastest way to shift your identity
 - How to speak, act, and live into a stronger version of yourself

This episode is all about building the internal armour required to show up with confidence, discipline, and belief, not just when things are easy, but when life gets uncomfortable.

If you’re ready to grow, challenge your old identity, and build the self image that matches the life you want, then this is your episode.

In Episode 15 of Beyond Limits Podcast, we sit down with Josh Curry, owner of RTB (Raise The Bar Gym) and one of the most disciplined operators in the fitness industry.

Josh’s journey starts in New Zealand, growing up on the rugby field before studying sports science and eventually moving to Melbourne. After nine years as a personal trainer, sharpening his craft and learning exactly what drives real progress, he took the jump into building his own gym from the ground up with nothing but savings, grit, and a clear vision.

RTB was founded on one core principle: progressive overload, no fluff, no cardio. Just real strength with real results.

Josh opens up about launching through COVID, the financial and personal adversity, and the lessons that shaped RTB into what it is today. It took 3 years to sell out the first gym… and only 8 weeks to sell out the second.

Now, with two thriving gyms and more on the way, Josh is proving what relentless consistency and belief can create.

If you want a story of resilience, discipline, and building something from nothing then this episode will inspire you to raise your own bar.

Matty and Dazza Young, the brothers behind Bulldog Studios open up about their journey from humble beginnings to building one of Melbourne’s most loved creative spaces.

Growing up side by side, they learned hard work early. From DJ decks and electrical trades to running their dad’s building company, the boys have always been hands-on. But nothing could prepare them for the grind of starting Bulldog Studios - floods, robberies, no money, and no bookings.

Through all the challenges, they just kept showing up. Their story of resilience, brotherhood, and belief in their vision, will surely inspire you to keep going, even when you want to quit.

Now, Bulldog Studios is much more than just a DJ space, it’s a community. A home for the next generation of DJs, podcasters, and now creatives to learn, practice, and fine tune their crafts.

This is a raw, honest conversation about what it really takes to build something from nothing and why staying true to your purpose matters more than ever.

This episode of Beyond Limits is as raw as it gets. Kate Van Staveren, professional Muay Thai & boxing fighter, coach, creator, and one year sober sits down to share her unfiltered journey of resilience, reinvention, and self-discovery.

From stepping into the K1 ring and facing down fear, to hustling in Bali and surviving through OnlyFans, Kate has lived multiple lives in one. But her real fight came outside the ropes. Battling addiction, people-pleasing, and the search for identity. Now, one year sober, she reflects on the discipline fighting gave her, the boundaries sobriety forced her to build, and the new life she’s creating through coaching and community.

This is an episode about courage, breaking cycles, and the power of choosing yourself, told with vulnerability, fire, and honesty.

Tune in for lessons on mindset, sobriety, boundaries, and what it truly means to go Beyond Limits.
