Sam opens up about the brutal realities of military life, the even MORE brutal transition back into civilian life and what it really means to rebuild your identity after service.

If you want to know what it takes to build an iconic Australian business from the ground up, this episode is for you.For our 50th episode, and to celebrate Drakes' 50th anniversary in business, I sat down with someone who's been there since the very beginning: my Dad, Roger Drake.From his first job in a butcher shop, to quickly rising through the ranks of Coles - only to be told he "would never make it in retail" - to venturing out to build Drakes, Dad's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Now, with 50 years in the business and nearly 70 stores, he shares the story of his hard work, dedication and passion behind his success.We discuss what he was like as a kid, his early jobs, and the leap to starting his own supermarket.

It's a special episode that not only celebrates our 50th podcast, but also the legacy he's created.

Widely known for his viral "parmi reviews" and being a contestant on the 2023 season of My Kitchen Rules alongside his mum Sonia, Marcus Costanzo sits down with JP to discuss all things food, content creation, and life philosophies.

Tyson's trading card designs have got him into some pretty cool situations, with his first graphic design gig for the LA Lakers at just 16 years old. Now, nearly 20 years later, Tyson has thousands of designs under his belt and has rubbed shoulders with some of the world's top athletes, from Stephen Curry to Floyd Mayweather.Join me as I sit down with Tyson to explore what sets his trading card designs apart and how they've gained global recognition - all while still being based in little old Adelaide.

Imagine the Olympics on drugs... Literally. This is what the Enhanced Games wants to bring to the world. All your favourite sports from the Olympics, but with the doping rules removed. The only twist? The competitors are required to tell the organisers what drugs they are taking for scientific research.

Paris spent $AUD15 billion hosting the 2024 Olympics, with $2.6 billion going just to clean the Seine River - which was still filthy.

Another week, another deep life discussion sparked by F1...

While Formula 1 may seem like an individual sport, it's actually very much about teamwork. Last week in the Hungarian GP, McLaren's strategy had everyone, including the drivers, questioning their decisions. With the team pleading with Lando Norris to toe the team line and give Oscar Piastri his maiden win, Norris eventually fell into line with the team decision, albeit rather begrudgingly.

A mate sent me some shocking footage of one of my stores - mouldy fruit and empty ends during one of our busiest trading periods. Being a Sunday and a regional store isn't an excuse and this isn't something that any of our customers should ever see in a Drakes store.

As frustrating as it is, it gave me an opportunity to address the issue so that the next time my mate goes into store, he can send me more positive footage. It really highlights how important it is to give honest feedback, and how it can make such a huge difference in business and life in general. It comes down to how you accept the feedback and respond to it.
