M26 FIT Podcast

What if lasting health isn’t about finding more motivation?

What if it’s a skill you can build—and a life you can learn to enjoy?

M26FIT Host Magnus Olson sits down with Wayne Zivanic, founder and CEO of Inspire Health Services, for a direct conversation about taking ownership of your health before a crisis forces the issue.

Wayne shares the experiences and beliefs behind the company he has built. Together, they explore why knowing health matters doesn’t always lead to action, what he believes the healthcare system gets wrong, and why short bursts of motivation rarely create lasting change. They also discuss how to understand your starting point, make room for health in a busy life, and find movement you enjoy enough to keep doing.

This conversation reaches beyond exercise. It asks what it means to be healthy, how leaders influence the people around them, and why looking after yourself can change what you bring to your family, work and future.

In this episode:

Why people often wait for a health crisis

Wayne’s views on healthcare, prevention and personal responsibility

How his upbringing shaped his approach to work and health

Why motivation and short-term challenges may not be enough

Health as a skill—and the role of identity in lasting change

Finding movement you genuinely enjoy

The influence employers and leaders can have on people’s health

The difference between being fit and being healthy

He weighed 160kg and hates running. So why has he entered a 42km marathon?

Dan Moussa is a former semi-professional rugby player, founder and dad. He is now around 131 kg and has signed up for the Brisbane Marathon next June despite not having run for years. 

In this conversation with Magnus Olson, he talks candidly about lifelong self-doubt, losing the identity and camaraderie of rugby, starting a business again from scratch, and the example he wants to set for his children.

We also discuss the practical work behind the goal: seeking coaching, progressing carefully, protecting sleep and learning to look after himself while building a business and raising a family. Dan

shares his own experience with a GLP-1 medication after consulting his doctor; this is his story, not a recommendation for anyone else.

In this episode:

• Why Dan chose a challenge he genuinely dislikes

• What leaving rugby did to his sense of identity

• The self-doubt that followed him onto the field and into business

• What founders can learn from a rugby team’s pre-season

• Why his children are part of the reason he wants to finish

• The first step for someone ready to change

Jake Eve grew up feeling like “the weird kid” sensitive, different and unsure where he belonged.

That same mind would eventually help him become an extraordinary athlete, winning more than 50 world titles across team and individual rope-skipping competition, including becoming the overall male world champion in 2012 and again in 2015.

But this conversation is about far more than medals.

Jake speaks openly about growing up in a masculine household, understanding his ADHD, training up to 35 hours a week, tying his identity to performance and eventually discovering that he was much more than “the skipping guy.”

He also shares the deeply personal story of losing his younger brother Dylan, the meaning behind his mantra “Do It for Dylan,” and why he believes something beautiful can still emerge from the most painful periods of our lives.

We discuss:

• Growing up as the sensitive “weird kid”
• Why an ADHD diagnosis finally helped Jake understand himself
• The failure that fuelled his first individual world championship
• Training 30–35 hours every week
• Identity beyond medals and achievement
• Losing his brother Dylan
• Turning grief into purpose
• Spirituality, resilience and recognising the bigger picture
• Jake’s mission to help children celebrate what makes them different

This is an honest conversation about identity, difference, extraordinary achievement, grief, purpose and learning to embrace who you were created to be.

From the outside, Declan Kluver appeared to have everything: a thriving company, a young family and the drive to keep pushing harder.

Behind that success, sleep deprivation, mounting pressure and a manic episode were changing his life faster than the people around him understood. In September 2025, Declan attempted to take his own life and survived.

What followed was seven months in hospital, 14 operations and the long process of learning to walk again. But this conversation is not centred on one tragic day. It is about what happened beforehand: the warning signs we miss, the pressure high performers normalise and what genuine intervention can look like.

Declan speaks candidly with Magnus Olson about ambition without guardrails, losing his identity, rebuilding his relationship with his children, faith, recovery and why he now believes founder health must be measured before everything falls apart.

This episode discusses suicide, bipolar disorder, mania and serious physical injury. Please take care while watching.

From the outside, I looked fit, successful and completely in control.
The truth was very different.

For more than 20 years, I trained consistently in the gym while smoking, drinking at least a bottle of wine most nights and using alcohol to manage how I felt. Eventually, after years of pressure and responsibility, I burnt out and reached a point where I questioned whether my own life had any value.

In this first M26FIT solo episode, I share the deeply personal story behind why M26FIT exists: my wife’s cancer diagnosis, walking away from 18 years in construction, the financial pressure of The Ridge at Maleny, my mental-health breakdown and the unwavering support that reminded me my value was greater than the success or failure of any project.

I also explain how movement, connection, structure and removing alcohol from my life helped me rebuild—and why those experiences created a mission to help other people prioritise their health and take ownership of their future before a preventable issue becomes a crisis.

This is not a story about having everything figured out. It is about recognising when the foundations beneath a successful-looking life are failing—and choosing to rebuild them.

In this episode:

* The contradiction between looking fit and genuinely being healthy
* Why my wife’s cancer diagnosis became my first serious wake-up call
* Giving up smoking after more than 20 years
* What my Garmin stress data revealed after I left the construction industry
* The pressure of investing virtually everything into The Ridge at Maleny
* The mental-health breakdown that changed my life
* Why slogans and a single “Are you okay?” are not enough
* The support my wife and son gave me when I believed I had failed
* How movement, connection, structure and sobriety helped me rebuild
* Why M26FIT was created
* The mission to make preventative health more accessible to working people
* Why strong lives, like strong buildings, depend on their foundations

If this episode reminded you of somebody who may be struggling, do not simply send them the video. Call them. Listen. Stay involved. And when necessary, help them access qualified professional support.

My experience with exercise, sobriety and prescribed medication is personal and is not medical advice. Nobody should stop or change prescribed medication without first speaking with an appropriately qualified medical professional.

Life changed in an instant.

A downhill mountain biking accident in 2018 left Kenton Matthews with a devastating spinal cord injury. Doctors warned he may never walk again. Today, he rides multiple times a week, leads two successful businesses and continues to prove that resilience is built one decision at a time.

But this isn’t just a story about recovery.

It’s a conversation about identity, purpose, discipline, health, business and learning to focus on what you can control when life doesn’t go to plan.

In this episode, Kenton shares the moments no one sees, the physical challenges he still lives with every day, the mental battle of rebuilding his life, the lessons he’s learnt through adversity, and why he believes health is our greatest asset.

We also explore:

• The mindset that helped him learn to walk again

• Why he got back on the bike after nearly losing everything

• Building successful businesses through resilience and accountability

• Why “control the controllables” became his philosophy

• The importance of purpose, community and taking ownership of your future

This is an honest and powerful conversation about what it really means to Build a Life that Lasts.

Can two people with very different beliefs agree on anything.

One is a Christian. The other describes himself as believing in “one less God.” One is a builder, helicopter pilot and entrepreneur. The other is a Masters athlete, educator and MBA graduate.

On paper, Magnus Olson and Don Sanka couldn’t be more different.

Yet after sitting down to discuss purpose, discipline, identity, health, longevity and life, they discovered something unexpected…

Shared values matter more than shared beliefs.

In this episode of the M26 FIT Podcast, we explore:

• What really drives human performance
• Discipline versus motivation
• Identity beyond your career
• Longevity and healthy ageing
• Community and connection
• Purpose, meaning and fulfilment
• Science, faith and personal responsibility

This isn’t a debate.

It’s a conversation about listening, learning and discovering that we often have more in common than we think.

What if the future of health isn’t in the hands of doctors, hospitals or governments… but in yours?

In this powerful conversation, Magnus Olson and Don Sanka sit down with Dr Vu Tran and Gopi Sara to explore the future of healthcare, longevity, prevention, AI, full-body MRI scans, blood testing, addiction, lifestyle habits and personal responsibility.

We discuss:

• Why healthcare is built to treat disease rather than prevent it
• How AI is changing medicine faster than most people realise
• Why consumers are becoming more informed than ever before
• The role of full-body MRI scans and preventative testing
• The truth about alcohol, addiction and habit formation
• Why connection may be the missing ingredient in modern health
• The simple daily habits that can dramatically improve your healthspan and lifespan

One of the biggest takeaways?

Most people are searching for complex solutions while ignoring the fundamentals.

Walk more.

Drink more water.

Eat more fibre.

Sleep better.

Take ownership of your health.

The future of healthcare is changing rapidly, and this conversation explores what that means for all of us.

In this powerful conversation, former soldier, pastor, and founder of The Battle Initiative, Andrew Hovenden shares his extraordinary journey through trauma, identity loss, mental health struggles, and ultimately, transformation through faith.

From operating in high pressure environments where strength was expected and vulnerability was hidden, Andrew found himself confronting his own internal battles with purpose, shame, trauma, and hopelessness. His journey eventually led him from military service to a psychiatric ward, before discovering a completely different definition of strength through healing, faith, and service to others.

Together we explore why so many men suffer in silence, the unseen battle beneath success, the importance of spiritual fitness, and how faith, purpose, and authentic brotherhood can help rebuild a life from the inside out.

This is a conversation about resilience, identity, healing, masculinity, purpose, and what it truly means to be strong.

What if the secret to high performance isn't pushing harder?

In this conversation, Magnus Olson and Alex explore a different perspective on performance, purpose, health and authenticity.

Many people spend their lives chasing success, achievement and productivity, only to find themselves exhausted, disconnected and burnt out. The reality is that sustainable performance isn't about doing more. It's about understanding yourself, listening to your body, aligning with your purpose and creating a life you can sustain for the long term.

Together, Magnus and Alex discuss health, vitality, purpose, burnout, gratitude, authenticity, movement, mindset and why so many people lose touch with what truly matters.

If you're over 40 and want more energy, better health, greater clarity and a more sustainable approach to life and performance, this conversation is for you.
