Sometimes in life, you meet people that seem to have a smile on their face that instantly brings one to yours.

Brett Robbo is one of those people. A legend, no doubt, and a man who makes it easy to be better.

A former elite athlete and now performance coach for men, Robbo is a force of grounded positivity and pragmatism, and a joy to talk with.

I was honoured to meet Robbo a few years ago and now call him a friend, so I was stoked to bring him on the show.

In this episode, we cover many things from some of Robbo's story moving from high-performance sport as an athlete to the side of a coach. We also explore some great pieces from him including the model of 'be, do, have' - where he breaks down for us the tendency of so many men to focus on doing in an attempt to then be something, instead of first being something - embodying something - to then know what to do which then leads to having what we want.

There is so much wisdom and awesomeness in Robbo, and he brings it to this conversation. I trust there will be something in it for you.

As always, I appreciate you listening and express my gratitude in advance for you sharing this with any men in your life and leaving us a review on iTunes to support the show landing in front of more men who can benefit from it.

Brett Robbo is a proud husband and father, peak performance coach and optimistic lover of life.

After almost two decades in high-performance sport as an athlete, performance therapist and high-performance coach with some of the world's best athletes, Robbo transitioned his skills into the non-sporting world after a major family tragedy changed his perspective and trajectory forever.

Robbo is now on a mission to ensure all young men in Australia are provided safe spaces to learn and develop mental health and emotional intelligence skills from professional and inspirational role models so they too can become great men, great leaders and great role models.

"In my work I empower middle aged men to become unbeatable in their mind, health, business and relationships. I am partnering with organisations that have amazing programs in place to train the younger generations of men so that my current work becomes irrelevant in the next generation, because they're already upskilled in life skills that we weren't taught about when we were younger".

A few years ago I received a phone call that would change my life forever.

Nardia was away in Sydney presenting a workshop. I was at home on the Gold Coast with a friend planning for a huge event we were putting on for men. My focus was deep in planning and ideation.

The phone rang, I saw Nards' name on the screen and almost didn't answer because I was so in deep focus mode.

I answered thinking something must be up seeing as she didn't just message a little update after her workshop ended.

She spoke two words: "I'm pregnant".

Well, fuck me if that didn't pull me out of focus mode immediately!

At that moment things came up and shifted in me - a process of change and evolution started.

Not only was facing fatherhood but the birth, and before that, all the preparation leading into the day our child came into the world.

I'm fortunate to have spent time on my own awareness, in growth, and have good people and men around me, so I was able to prepare myself for these moments and experiences and shifts.

But most men don't have this, we don't have support - truly - for becoming a father, for the actual birth experience and supporting our partner, and for the lead up to that day.

Well, now we do.

On today's podcast, I am speaking to a friend of mine Ryan Pope, whose partner, Amber Hawken from Episode ) recently gave birth to their son.

Ryan has since gone on to create a program and experience for men to prepare for these three stages: the pregnancy stage, the birth itself, and then stepping into fatherhood.

I am pumped to talk about his own journey and how this process is formed.

In this episode, we dive into all of that.

While everyone's experiences are different, the stages we men go through and are asked to step into to become fathers have many consistent throughlines. Ryan and I explore that in this episode.

I hope and trust you'll gain something from this episode, including - I estimate - a bunch of further questions. If so - good. Questions, when followed with curiosity, allow answers. Answers allow options.

When it comes to living a better life - options are important. Dive in. share. Rate and review - I appreciate your support in getting this in front of more men.

Ryan Pope is a chiropractor, breathwork instructor and holistic health and lifestyle coach. He is the CEO of Powerhouse Mind Body Chiro, a multidisciplinary wellness centre on the Gold Coast in Australia and Becoming The Mountain, a mentoring and events business focused on preparing men physically, mentally and emotionally for their rite of passage into fatherhood.

Ryan facilitates mindfulness, and men's work and co-facilitates at Alchemy, a multi-modality healing and transformational retreat for men and women. His focus is on creating balance and harmony in self, life and relationships through nervous system regulation, acceptance and commitment therapy, self-reflection and mastering daily practices.

Growth can be hard. AF.

Facing the consequences of frustrating patterns can be daunting.

Not only that, it can feel like a giant mountain to climb.

Where to start? The sabotage? The mess-ups? The work required to be consistent and disciplined?

How on earth we do become better when I'm still tied to a bunch of shit I've been spinning in for a long time?

In this work on becoming more of ourselves, in becoming better men, stronger men, more dependable men, more emotionally literate and nimble men we come across many blocks, avenues, tips, tools, techniques, strategies and seemingly magic-sounding potions.

In my experience, there is usually one thing that sits beneath all the shit we see and prevents us from even touching the strategies and tools - and that is a man's relationship to himself.

Or, more specifically, his relationship to his self-worth; how he sees himself, and the beliefs he holds about his worth and worthiness.

If you are running a story that exists somewhere in the vicinity of "I'm not good enough" such as "I am not worthy of love and belonging" "I don't deserve happiness and ease in life" or "I am unlovable" then this story and the little offspring that suckle at its teet will fuck your entire life.

This will be THE bed upon which all of the frustrating shit in your life lives, grows, and festers. If you want to change all the disappointing ways you show up in relationships - it's not so much the communication techniques (although, they are extremely important), first it's the belief you hold about yourself because that will determine how you show up in the first place.

It's not so much the morning routines or the ice baths or meditation or cock magick, it's how you view yourself, the level of self-respect you have, and if you believe that you are a worthwhile human. Or not.

This is THE work for most guys to get the fuck out of their own way and start to not only access their potential and be a useful human, but to be better than they were yesterday.

So, yeah, it's important and tends to sit under most guys' shit. This is why I decided today to do a full podcast episode on understanding and building self-worth.

Which, in itself is a bit of a misnomer. You don't build it per se, it just is.

You build other things.

In this episode I explore all of this, including such nuanced notions as: There's a difference between the following statements and knowing that difference, is important:

• "I am not good enough"
• "I am not being good enough"

There is a difference in your worthiness as a person and man and how you are choosing to be.

So, let's explore it.

I hope and trust you'll gain something from this episode, including - I estimate - a bunch of further questions. If so - good. Questions, when followed with curiosity, allow answers. Answers allow options.

When it comes to living a better life - options are important. Dive in. share. Rate and review - I appreciate your support in getting this in front of more men.

There's something about nature that always brings me back to being centred - to feeling peaceful, or at the very least, brings me back into a clearer conversation with myself.

It's as if it's a reminder of our very humanness - being in the arena we lived in and evolved via for millennia.

While talking about 'nature' can conjure up hugging trees, it can be a very simple, actionable and tangible way to improve one's life.

That's what I found with this week's guest - Alex White.

Alex is someone I've known for a few years through a different lens - that of a sex and intimacy coach for men, but with a shift in his work and geography to retreat space owner and nature-based guide, this conversation covered a few enlightening topics and down to basics strategies for slowing down and getting grounded in one's self.

We explore some of the work that Alex is doing and facilitating in his nature retreat, including some of the simple things we men can do now to support our nervous system and create a calmer and better relationship with ourselves and those we relate to.

We also take the tangent into sex and go exploring one of the topics I think most of us have varied but generally speaking poor experiences with; sex education.

Alex takes on a journey of essentially what wasn't so great that we learnt, where that has taken us as men and individuals and what could be a more effective way of being educated in sex.

I trust you'll find something to learn and help shift some awareness in you, as well as some things to go and action in this episode.

As always, please share this with those men you think could benefit from it, and do me a solid by adding a review of iTunes - this is a hugely powerful way of getting this in the eyes and ears of more men who need to dig into, get past and take ownership of their shit.

Money - we want it, we like it, it makes the world go round. Right?

Well, what can be seen as an incredibly simple thing to survive and thrive, money tends to hold some real deep anchors for most of us.

Personally, I grew up with the idea implanted in my bones that "money doesn't grow on trees" and that having a lot of money is something that happens when you either get famous and 'succeed' or become a doctor or lawyer.

Over time I have had to change my idea around money, the stories I hold about money, and how I actually relate to and with money.

What am I talking about? Well, do you save or spend? Do you value it or vanish it? Do you earn it but never seem to have any of it? Do you place your worth in it and only feel like you are valuable or successful when you've earnt a lot of it?

Do you even allow yourself to enjoy it?

Or is most of your life spent earning more money to create more financial freedom but never seem to feel like there's ever enough?

This week I have brought on one of the best minds I have seen, heard, and worked with (she is my money coach) when it comes to understanding money and our relationship to it: Selina Gray.

In this episode, we dive into one of the big ways in which the money story plays out for men, and that's in our need to provide and often specifically provide financial security.

Selina takes us into various examples and avenues of breaking down the old stories money have had in our lives and how to better understand it to create a better relationship with it.

It's easy to say "I just need more money" but for many people, we get more and we lose or spend more. Selina helps us explore why we do what we do with money and invites a healthier way to let money come to us and detach our sense of self worth from money.

I loved this chat and find the exploration into money to be one of the stickiest conversations for many people, which, by default, means it holds so much power over us. Until we can talk about with ease it, we can't feel free with it. Selina helps us get closer to that place in this episode.

As a CPA, CA, I was a firm believer in the hustle. For nearly a decade, I worked 100+ hour workweeks as a Controller for two internationally traded public companies managing 30 finance ninjas in 12 countries worldwide.

My life was centred around praise, power, & managing hundred-million-dollar plus budgets. It all came crashing down one day - I ended up with a lengthy hospital stay & an auto-immune disease. I was burnt out & it was my wake-up call to find my highest self & ultimately change my relationship with money.

As a Business & Wealth Mentor, I have helped thousands of entrepreneurs build multi 6/7 figure businesses to liberated richness: more profit, more joy, more freedom. Your Revolution awaits.
