Big Bros

What are the biggest lessons you may learn from committing to a passion project? For some, it’s the realisation that they can handle social scrutiny better than they thought. For others, it’s a growing sense of confidence and self-belief. The truth is, the lessons vary from person to person, but dedicating yourself to something meaningful almost always leads to growth in ways you didn’t expect.

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they reflect on the most impactful lessons and mindset shifts they've experienced since starting the podcast. Expect to learn why resilience without love is a waste of time, why imposter syndrome never truly disappears and how to communicate with it, why chasing confidence is a losing game, whether all feedback is worth listening to, how putting yourself out there publicly will hold you accountable to being the best person you can possibly be, and much more!

If you're currently stuck in the friendzone or have ever found yourself there, this episode is for you. Few things feel more crushing than hearing that someone you have romantic feelings for doesn't feel the same way. Along with the disappointment, you're often left with confusion, wondering whether to hold onto hope that their feelings might change, step away from the friendship, or begin the process of moving on.

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they explore what to do if you're stuck in the friendzone. Expect to learn why staying in a friendship while hoping the other person will change their mind is unfair to both of you, what the most common reasons are for ending up in the friendzone, whether it's truly possible to get out of it, how to recognise when someone might actually like you even if they say they don't, why starting as friends before becoming romantic partners is more common than you think, how to express your feelings with honesty and clarity, and much more.

The fear of never finding love is a common and completely normal part of your 20s.

So how do you manage this fear in a way that feels grounding and constructive?

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they dive into how to manage the fear of never finding love, expect to learn why being told to just be more confident is one of the most unhelpful pieces of advice, how underlying beliefs about your worthiness might be driving this fear, why choosing not to settle for an unfulfilling relationship requires accepting the risk of being alone, the practical steps to help you fall in love with yourself, how to use visualisation to attract your ideal partner, and much more.

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they unpack the clear signs of being in a toxic or controlling relationship. Expect to learn how controlling behaviours are often disguised as care, the role self-esteem plays in controlling dynamics, why labelling someone as controlling for simply setting a boundary can be harmful to the relationship, why not every discomfort warrants a boundary, the common situations where you might feel like you're being controlling when in reality - you're not, and much more.

Expect to learn about Ilan and Jeremy’s mid-week tea ritual, what they get up to on a typically-boring time slot on a Sunday, why Jeremy is obsessed with pairing soundcloud sets to boring tasks, Ilan’s recent craze for herbal inhalers and trigger balls, why you should invest in high quality workout gear, and much more.

When is the right time to start dating again after a breakup? The answer probably isn’t the same day, but the truth is, it depends. How soon you start dating again comes down to a range of factors such as the type of relationship you had, who ended it, how emotionally invested you were, and many other things that influence how ready you actually feel.

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they explore how to know when you’re ready to start dating again post breakup. Expect to learn why moving on too quickly probably means you were never truly in love with your ex to begin with, why treating the breakup like a competition is guaranteed recipe for disaster, whether the old saying “getting under someone to get over them” actually has any truth to it, why there’s nothing wrong with getting back into dating quickly if you’re clear on what you want, the number one sign you must look out for that shows you’re ready to start dating again, and much more!

Tom Morris is one of the AFL's top newsbreakers, but few truly know the man behind the headlines. If you’re an AFL follower, you have most certainly read his articles, seen him reporting on 9 News, watched him on Footy Classified or listened to him on SEN radio… but you wouldn’t have heard about the man he is beyond this. 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Tom Morris to explore the side of himself he has never shared publicly. Expect to learn how Tom has navigated adversity throughout his career, his beliefs about second chances, when to break or not break a story, whether he feels misunderstood, how journalists actually protect players more than most people realise, what Tom wishes people knew about him, whether growing mental health conversations in the AFL will change how journalists report on the game, what Tom would tell his 25-year-old self, and much more!

We hope you enjoy!
