Body Science Podcast

Keegan Thornhill (The Recomp Pro) is one of Australia’s Leading Recomposition and comp prep Specialists, a mindset coach, and the driving force behind The Indomitable Crew coaching brand.

Keegan takes a unique approach to coaching where he not only preps athletes for stage and improves the body composition of those he works with but mentors to cultivate the Athletes mindset towards the hurdles we all face in life.

He has developed his philosophy towards coaching through overcoming his own massive life hurdles in losing his previous two companies in a separation, threatened with bankruptcy, sleeping on couches, and having to relocate and rebuild his reputation and coaching brand from the ground up.

Through his experiences and developing what he believes to be the athlete's mindset. Keegan now leads one of Melbourne’s largest coaching brands and with the goal of developing not just physically strong athletes, but athletes with the mental resiliency to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

As Peter Drucker said - “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” That’s not to say the strategy is unimportant – rather that a good company culture is a backbone to organizational success. Don’t confuse company VALUES vs VIRTUES. So, what makes good company culture? What is it not? Niall Wogan and Greg Young - two culture 'legends’ get together to chat about what a great culture looks like and why it matters.

Niall Wogan

Niall ran an international furniture company and quickly doubled its revenue from $20 to $40million after taking over as Managing Director. He then decided to start doing what he would love most; building a new brand and customer-focused company that would help promote health and fitness and be a great place to come to work each day. VERVE Fitness was formed in Europe in 2017 and launched in Australia in 2019.

It has quickly established itself as the leading supplier of gym equipment and operates from its state-of-the-art showroom and HQ in Gold Coast, among the largest in the country for fitness equipment.

Summary:

How would you handle 5 days without food, people, the internet, and distractions? While writing his new book "Curious Habits" Body Science happiness ambassador and Stress Teflon Author, Luke Mathers did just that. Today we chat with Luke to find out what he learned from his 5-day RESET and unpacks what you could get out of doing something similar.

Luke Mathers is a conference speaker and the author of Stress Teflon. 28 years in business have taught him that stress isn’t going away any time soon. If you want better health, relationships, and success, you need to get good at stress.

As one of the original directors of Specsavers in Australia, Luke was part of the biggest retail roll-out in Australia’s history. 100 stores in 100 days. His practice was the biggest in the country and set global records that were previously unheard of. Luke retired for the first time at age 31. After transforming his UK Specsavers practice (increasing turnover by 350% in just three years) Luke returned to Australia to relax and put his feet up. It wasn't long before he realised, he missed something... STRESS!

Matej Varhalik is the co-founder and CEO of SpeedFit, a revolutionary fitness business at the forefront of electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) training technology.

The Slovakian-born, Perth-based entrepreneur was studying fitness in Australia when he identified an opportunity to introduce the low-impact, high-intensity training technology he had grown to love in Europe as a remedial solution for his back issues. As a businessman and new father, Matej also created SpeedFit out of personal frustration as he did not have the time to squeeze multiple gym sessions into his busy week.

Mental health has become a major concern for athletes who have dedicated their lives to sport. The transition that a professional athlete takes from their full-time sporting career into retirement has received a considerable amount of attention in the sporting industry and something Ben is passionate about. A lifelong process of becoming an athlete requires extensive training and nutrition tracking, continuous coaching and guidance, and being surrounded by a community of like-minded people from a young age. So what happens when their career eventually comes to a close? This week we chat with the legend Ben Alexander, now retired from Rugby Union. He played a record 154 games for the ACT Brumbies, 72 tests for the Wallabies, and scored 25 tries. The father of 3 and parkrunner co-owns the ACT’s “Best Pub” and 6-time “Best Live Sports Venue” The Dock. A Sports Journalism graduate, he currently studies Computing at the ANU and is the Chief Energy Tracker of the energy management app - Alfred.

Alfred is a personal energy management app that helps you track how much you eat, which is arguably the biggest influence on your energy and how you feel. Tracking how much he ate helped Ben to find balance with food, and get a better understanding of his eating habits beyond “oh, I just eat too much” as he learned he wasn’t eating enough energy on busy days and would eat too much on days he didn’t exercise. In the past tracking your food took time, but Alfred “can do the work for you” and he gets easier to use the more you use him. Simply send him a photo or a short text description of your meal, and he will estimate the amount of energy in it and return the results before your next meal. Alfred then learns what you like to eat and predicts your next meal to save you time. Download Alfred here.
