In this episode we are joined by Steaven Morris, a prominent "hype lord" at the national wide (now international) running community known as MegaRun.

Steaven shares his humble beginnings growing up in Stanthorpe experimenting with drugs and alcohol in his teenage years making a name for himself as the guy to party with amongst his peers, never thinking the path he was heading down would become a problem.

He joined the army at 17 in an attempt to part ways from his party lifestyle only to rediscover it again once he turned 18.

When he wasn't on base he was off in the city drinking, partying, spending all his money and blacking out.

The cracks started to form after a mishap leading to waking up at the police station, crashing his new car while under the influence leading to losing his licence and being kicked out of the army, when his licence was reinstated it wasn't long before he lost it again being caught drink driving.

He shares a night out misbehaving that finally was the wake up call he needed that enough was enough, and he hasn't looked back.

He talks on his transitional phase, moving away from his drinking buddies and diving into learning to be comfortable on his own, embracing the gym, learning new skills, which to spiral into his new passion, running.

Steaven talks running and finding his limit, which he has yet to discover, becoming a passionate member of a new community of high vibrant people who want to get up on their Sunday morning for a run instead of reaping their sorrows from the antics the night before.

We appreciate Steaven for sharing his triumphant lifestyle change and his ambition and zest for life to keep pushing beyond his perceived limit.

In this episode we chat with our good friend Adam Green, head trainer of the Brotherhood Gold Coast.

While Adam experimented with alcohol in his formative years, his relationship with the substance matured with age and has found a way that works for him, to enjoy a whiskey or beer from time to time but it's not at the core of his life, sharing finding it easy to live a lot without it.

We talk with Adam on his personal journey, a deep honest dive in becoming the man he is today, an admired leader of the Brotherhood community motivating and inspiring other men reach their full potential by implementing practices and values he has embodied.

We talk setting goals, fitness & nutrition, having a why for everything you do, life purpose, having deep connected male friendships, being open to expressing emotions and being vulnerable.

We thank Adam for coming on and sharing his inspiring journey and support his passion for building better men.

Quinn returns to the podcast to update us on his life since his original appearance last year (Episode #8 - "The Yo-Yo").

He talks about his recovery journey from injuring his achilles tendon which kept him on crutches, becoming unemployed and spiralling downwards into depression and using alcohol to cope.

He decided to seek professional help and begin to get his life back on track, he talks on his use of antidepressants and how they helped get his mood back to a good base level.

After a new years get together with some friends he set his goals for 2023, after one final "experiment" with a bottle of gin, the day was set to quit alcohol. He began a 12 week fitness challenge not long after, as a way to deter anyone questioning his desire to quit drinking alcohol.

He pondered what would be different this time around for his plan to stay off alcohol for it to be successful, how he handled his cravings and triggers, and completing everything he set out to do for the year in a couple of months.

Quinn has certainly come a long way since our last chat and it's great to see someone make positive improvements in their lives after cutting alcohol from their life.

We thank Quinn for being so open and honest about his journey.

In this episode we're joined by Jesse Calvillo, a content creator who makes comedic skits on social media often with his family.

Jesse shares on his journey with addiction, being a self proclaimed "try everything at once" kind of guy which eventually spiralled down a path of heroin addiction.

He openly shares on his escapades, from entering rehab and only learning it was better to shoot up heroin than smoke it, getting into trouble with the law to overdosing and crashing his mother's car on an abandoned highway, he was left with the choice of jail or entering a sobriety program.

Whilst the program was challenging and incredibly strict, including spending several days in jail for failed drug tests, Jesse completed the 18 month program and stayed off heroin for good, despite it being in his words the best feeling he's ever experienced, with help and support getting involved in AA and completing the steps.

He elaborates on his journey with sobriety, having a good level of conscious self awareness to keep an eye on his participating in taking substances is potentially a gateway back to the needle.

Jesse and Will reflect on their past being creators on the original video app Vine, creating comedic content with his family contributing to a deeper bond with his brothers.

He talks on his struggles with physical therapy and social anxiety and taking life one day at a time and being strong for yourself despite his physical limitations.

We appreciate Jesse for coming on and sharing his journey so openly.

In this episode we chat with stand-up comedian Aidan Jones.

Aidan talks on after an eventful night while on a comedy tour in Thailand, a snap light bulb moment that led him to quit drinking alcohol, with his latest stand up show being based around his decision.

He shares plenty of personal anecdotes on his journey, from growing up not knowing his biological father and how that affected his upbringing to tracking him down in his late 20s.

We talk about his career in stand up comedy and discuss the craft, how therapy has helped him navigate his emotions, and having the courage to be open on his desire to try and work towards his ultimate goals in life with pursuing comedy and finding a partner and starting a family and challenges faced with that.

We thank Aidan for sharing his story.

In this episode we are joined by Faye Lawrence.

Faye is a grey area drinking coach, psychotherapist and founder of Untoxicated, Australia's largest alcohol free social group.

She shares her personal journey, stemming from an upbringing being exposed to alcohol and drugs, in which she was able to disconnect instantly from the internal struggles she was experiencing. While she could take it or leave it with drugs, she describes alcohol as her kryptonite.

She describes a life of a high functioning addict, maintaining on the surface a well balanced life, working corporate jobs, studying psychology, raising children, all the while alcohol consumption was interlaced throughout, it ultimately lead to her internal world to crumble.

She went into inpatient detox, an eye opening life changing experience where she was determined to never return to this place again, and has been alcohol free ever since. She shares being diagnosed with ADHD, we learn more about the disorder and how common it is found amongst people with substance abuse issues.

She talks on Untoxicated, a social group she founded by her need and desire for connection. She wanted to bring fun back into socialising without alcohol.

It's an engaging conversation with a lot of great useful information, we thank Faye for sharing her journey and her wisdom.

In this episode we are joined by Bree Wilkinson, founder of Blanc Smiles, which specialises in cosmetic teeth whitening and tooth gems.

Bree gets open about her crazy party stage and finding solace in being around people, but within every group of people she was around, drugs and alcohol were always prevalent.

She talks about using drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism, to deal with the waves of life, from toxic relationships to dealing with stresses of running her own business, she became a soldier for 8 bottles of wine a day.

While she managed to maintain a solid foundation of a life with a regimented morning routine, regular exercise and a dedicated work ethic, she was still funnelling a lot of her time, energy and money to the outlet of escape with drugs and alcohol, come the start of 2023 she was ready to change for the better.

Bree talks on going sober for 2023, how it impacted her business and work productivity, her struggles with loneliness, deciding to travel solo and face all that she had been suppressing under her substance use.

She shares openly on a slip up at a birthday party, but after reflecting on this this turned out to be a huge lesson and period of growth for her to see and cement within herself that it's time to leave the party life behind and move forward onto greater things!

We thank Bree for being so open about her journey, we hope her story can inspire others to transform and grow for the better.
