I sit down to jam with Chris Della (@chrisdella) - former bank valuer, turned real estate agent specialising in first time home ownership.

Bank valuation offers a slightly different perspective on real estate sales.

Chris drops some absolute fire and some very counter-intuitive advice on first time home ownership. Advice which is non salesy and highly practical.

I learnt a TON from recording this. If you're in the market for a new property or are a first time home owner, DO NOT miss this episode.

On this episode I'm joined by human guinea-pig, Ron McClurkin. We de-code some of the most popular diets going around today for athletes, bodybuilders and full-time workers.

We focus on keto, flexible dieting and intermittent fasting. Super interesting how diets are dependent on our respective lifestyles and personalities.

Whether you're training consistently or infrequently, your diet plays a massive part in any fitness goal. With so many diets out there, the challenge is to find the right one for you.

Despite training my tail off at the gym I've always felt my diet has slowed down my progress (sweet tooth problems). This 45 minute conversation with Ron really helped me find the diet best suited to my lifestyle. Listen in to learn more :)

Know someone who turns anything he/she touches into gold?

I caught up with a friend of mine with the same gift to find out how he does it.

By day, Brian Arpie is software engineer at NY based tech startup, Aloe. In addition, he has also been a professional poker player, an American ranked chess player, and taught himself how to speak Mandarin and Spanish fluently. Basically, the guy's a self taught ninja.

In this episode we discuss how when we do things that are both fun and challenging, they become a creative outlet. By doing things for a creative purpose, we don't need to search for outside motivation to keep us going. We just practice it daily, weekly, monthly until we develop a real skill for it.

What's your creative outlet?

I sit down with a friend who I haven't seen in 5 years, Travis Telfer (@imtraviswilliam). Travis is many things - owner of a chain of fitness clubs, digital strategist and practitioner, world traveller and fitness enthusiast. A busy man by any definition, Travis still manages to hit the gym 6 times a week and get after it. I was fascinated by his dedication to prioritising fitness. He shares with me his routine, some workouts, and his view on "balance". Listen in..

I’ve been sitting on this idea for a podcast for the longest time. But there was always something holding me back. I thought I was too busy at work or fitness, maybe it will cut into my family time or my social life. While all of these are valid, I think the main reason was this fear of putting myself out there. A fear of opening myself up to criticism and judgement. But I think there’s also a huge upside in sharing our thoughts. For me it’s a chance to give back to a community by sharing meaningful ideas and conversations, scratching my own itch - whether it’s in business, health and fitness, sports, cryptocurrency, education, global warming, the animal kingdom, travel, and a sense of purpose in learning and sharing new ideas. I plan to host a number of interviews with people from different walks of life and have conversational dialogues with them over a beer or three (to make sure we’re honest) and deliver these to you.
