This is the story of Be spunki and I truly believe every young male needs to listen to this episode. Sean and i discuss how alot of young men are putting unrealistic expectations on our selfs and constantly comparing our body image to people in the Hollywood industry who are taking steroids etc. We talk about how male testosterone levels are at an all time low and how it has a direct correlation with our mental health. We also talk about Shaun's amazing story to starting Be spunki and why he started it.

Let’s change the conversation on men’s mental health.

We know the power of social connection – but too many of us feel like there's no one to turn to. Let's change that.

Contiki and Movemeber collaborated to connect 5 individuals including myself to have a chat about all things around mental health and addressing it from all different angles. This chat was so profound for me and I have been on Contiki and Movemebers back for the past 2 months to share the raw audio clip from the day. 

Because I truly believe that this chat can help so manny people. This chat is raw, vulnerable and by the end of it we formed a bond and friendship that we all stay in contact today. 

(interviewer) Brendan Maher-  Is the Movember Global Director, Mental Health & Suicide Prevention, and former CEO of R U OK. He’s committed to making a real change to men across the globe and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with him.

Lincoln Lewis- Lincoln is an actor and former Home and Away star. He has previously spoken out about his own mental health struggles.

Khan Porter - is a five-times CrossFit Games athlete, multiple business owner, psychology student and passionate advocate for improving mental health awareness and support services, especially for young men.

Shaun hampson- is an ex-AFL footballer and Survivor contestant, father of two and owner of cafe/restaurant Ascot Food Store. He's also an official ambassador for Movember and is passionate about men’s health because of his own experiences with loss.

Ziggy Ramo-  is a proud Aboriginal/Islander musician and creative who advocates for furthering conversations around social justice and mental health.

And myself on a mission is to show youth that anything is possible and to raise awareness of the importance of mental health through marathon running, podcasting and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

If you did enjoy this chat, please share on your story. More youth need to hear these conversations. 

Best mates, Dylan Garft & Luke Zocchi were fed up with the cafes charging exorbitant prices for a cup of coffee and the at home pods unsustainable (3 million per day in Australia alone!) pollution of our planet. What could they do? How could they help? Was it possible to find a solution? Was there an answer to stopping so much pollutions and waste along with

The answer, yes. The boys founded SIPP in 2018 with the idea of solving all of these problems and actually improving on the product, by turning them into functional beverages! Quality, flavour, health and most importantly sustainability all had to come to the table for this to work.

what you will learn this podcast: 

+ Why Dylan had to leave byron and move to the big smoke

+ The story of Sipp Coffee 

+ Sustainability 

+ Know your expectation when going to business with a friend to ensure a long lasting partnership
