  • #52 - Alex Connor

    The founder and owner of Fearless Training and host of the Roar Knowledge podcast, Alex Connor came through to spend some time with us and share his story.

    Born out of the UK, now living in Australia, Alex talks about how fitness was something he did from a young age.
    Being inspired by his dad who would take him to the gym to train, it became part of his identity early on. He went on to become a personal trainer, and found his "all in" moment after prepping for a bodybuilding show.
    Since then, he has been pursuing a constant state of growth, personally and professionally, and is crafting a huge vision for Fearless Training in the near future.
    We dive into many topics that branch off from his story, and have an organic, grass roots conversation about what it life really is and how to be more human in 2021.

  • #51 - Dennis Deheza

    Have you ever had a moment in your life where you just had to look at yourself in the mirror, say "fuck it" and commit to something that scares you?

    Well on the show today, my guest Dennis Deheza talks us through what that moment looked like for him and why as scary as it was to pack up his life, leave his family and head for another city he hadn't been to before, was ultimately it was the best decision he ever made.
    Dennis started life living in DC, northern Virginia area, born into a huge family. His parents having come from Bolivia worked hard to make ends meet and provide for their family taking any blue collar jobs they could. Their work ethic, though providing for Dennis and his siblings, left him with a desire to do more with his life.
    As the poverty mindset was installed from a young age, Dennis had a desire to break the mould. He was hungry, and that hunger led him to becoming a 6-figure personal trainer, working with some of the highest level clients he could find in California.
    Now running a successful coaching business, Dennis shares lessons from his story that will serve as the roadmap for others who want to do the same thing.
    We dove into his story and spoke about why circumstances should NEVER matter if you want something bad enough, we ask the question "what do you need to say fuck it to right now in order to move forward from where you are at?" and touch on why Dennis is so passionate about what he does today as a business mentor.

  • #50 - Owen "OG" Gayle

    Today on the show, I caught up with an old friend, endurance athlete, elite level trainer, coach, gym owner, and all round badass, Owen Gayle.

    We actually met back in 2012 at one of the most prestigious MMA gyms in the south of England, GYM01, where I had the pleasure to not only train with him but also watch his growth, as he climbed the professional rankings, ultimately making his way all the way to top 10 in UK and Europe.
    Since then he has gone on to leave fighting and start his own gym, specialising in calisthenics, sports psychology and movement. Owen has documented hours and hours of content to help guide others in their journey of health and fitness.
    He has a rare curiosity, for all things training, health, nutrition, and has over the years put himself in extreme physical and mental situations, just to answer the question of "what if"...
    On this episode we spoke about what to do when it feels like your dreams come crumbling down, what can happen in your life and business when passion and ability meet and why it's important to view negative experiences in your life through a positive lens.
    Owen now has his sights on breaking records in 2021 and judging by the work during his previous years, his ethics, his pace and desire to outwork himself, I have no doubt he will.
    His story has been full of ups and downs, and I felt fortunate to hear him talk so openly about it all. Enjoy.

    As always, if you loved this episode, tell a friend, give it a rating and review. Until next time, PEACE.

  • #49 - Tobias Young

    Today on the show, we spoke with former fitness expert turned fitness business coach, Tobias Young.

    He is the co-founder of TNT FitPro Explosion that specialises in fitness coaches scale with their 6-figure blueprint.
    It was humble beginnings for Tobias who grew up without a dad after being born in one of the roughest areas of Richmond, CA. From a young age, he always wanted to be like the Hulk and draw inspiration from the character we all know and love in the movies.
    From the first time he was introduced into fitness, it became part of his identity and years down the line, he has poured his heart and soul into the industry to give back what fitness had given to him.
    In this episode we dove into his story and through that, gave insights into what it takes to move away from a poverty mindset to a winners mindset, why it's important to have the right people around you and how you can start your fitness business with some simple avoidance of problems that he experienced, so you don't have to.
    If you are a fitness coach who wants to get ahead in 2021, you can grab the TNT 6-figure blueprint here: https://www.tntfitprocoaching.com/9-step-blueprint
    As always, connect with the guest, leave us some feedback or a review on Apple podcasts.

  • #47 - Billy Schwer

    Today we catch up with former British, commonwealth & European lightweight boxer, Billy Schwer.

    What an EPIC, wild action packed story. There was blood, sweat, tears and years of failing before he achieved his life long dream of becoming a world champion. 
    Starting out in life feeling weak and not good enough, he had to challenge himself in the boxing “ring of life”, not once, but over and over again, in order to breakthrough.
    He opens up to talk about the trials, tribulations, set backs, adversities and of course, the discipline and perseverance it took to be where he is today. Now turned successful entrepreneur, Billy helps men to man up and become all they can be, through immersive coaching experiences.
    He can also be found speaking on stages and motivating people at corporate events.  If you don’t know who billy is, this episode dives deep into his story...
    And I am 100% confident that if you apply some of what we spoke about today, in your life, you too will be a champion.
    As always, if you get value from this episode, share it with a friend. It might change their life, perspective or put some fire in their belly to get shit done. We'd love a review also on Apple if you get a moment.
    You can see his work and find the first 2 chapters to his brand new book "Man Up" right here: https://billyschwer.com/

  • #46 - Lockdown Will Only Stop You If You Let It, With Jake Kauffman & Perry Power

    At the time of this recording the world was just a few weeks into the first lockdown, and if you can remember back then...

    Things for fitness businesses were most definitely looking a little bleak.

    Including those that run/own brick and mortar - but not limited to those with online ecosystems. 

    So we recorded some content and covered some crucial parts of how to overcome challenges both external and internal.

    We never did release the episode..

    But it seems timely to do so now as for many, especially in the UK are heading back into another lockdown.

    On it we discussed how we can’t always help or control the circumstances that are bestowed upon us in these times, but we CAN absolutely navigate these challenges with the right tools, knowledge and support. Starting from what lens we chose to look through and how we view it.

    This episode was super powerful, insightful and will give you permission to stand up to any adversity you face in your life, and move through it so that you can progress forward with your vision and accomplish everything you desire.
    Matthew Burbridge leads the conversation, with co-host Perry Power and guest, friend and mentor, Jake Kauffman.
    As always, rate, review and if you got value, share it on your IG stories, we'd love to hear the take homes.

  • #44 - Cody Jefferson

    We believe that every man on earth needs to hear this episode with guest - Cody Jefferson. A powerful leader, inspirational speaker, and mentor who has, like many others, built an empire off the back of his greatest adversity.

    We dove into his story which starts with him being born in Kansas but as we dug a little deeper, there was a role reversal in the interview and it ended up with Matthew Burbridge (host of FitStoryTV) sharing vulnerably his struggles of fatherlessness, abandonment and the impact it’s left in his life, with Cody leading the dialogue with real talk and thought-provoking questions that will most definitely share a perspective of truth and reason, for anyone listening that may be experiencing the same thing.
    Featured in publications such as Entrepreneur, NBC, USA today, the GoodMen Project and many more, Cody has been walking alongside thousands of entrepreneurs, leaders and professionals on the subjects of personal ownership and development, communication and leadership. He has been to hell and back and has a wealth of experience to bring to the table and has served the industry for almost two decades.
    On this episode he shares insights into why he is so passionate about helping men all around the world create positive infrastructures and belief systems within the walls of their mind that allow them to “have it all” in their lives and businesses. Like we said, every man should take the time to listen to this one...
