When I was back in my twenties I had left a corporate job and had decided to pursue a career as a personal trainer. Starting out in a whole new career I obviously didn't have a lot of money, but I had made a promise to myself that when I was in a better financial position I would buy my dream car. The dream car was a Golf R32 and I had wanted that car for so long. I looked up all the reviews, I watched the videos and I thought about it all the time.After around 2.5 - 3 years, I finally had en...

I've got to be honest with you, this week I really struggled. I struggled with motivation, I was tired all the time and I really felt like I wasn't achieving anything. It was causing me to feel depressed and anxious and just not feeling like myself. Even though sometimes you may feel as if from the outside those that you follow have it all together, I want to let you know that none of us do. None of us have it all together all the time, and that's totally okay.So after a few days of feeling u...

There's no doubt that there has been a lot of emotion this year. I've found it really interesting to see how society has been forced into a time of reflection not only due to the isolation that coronavirus thrust upon us, but then with the death of George Floyd causing the whole world to take a look at where we're failing each other. The institutional racism that has been brought to all of our attention thanks to social media has been heartbreaking, but it has also forced us to think about ho...

The relationship that we have with our siblings is often quite tricky. No matter your upbringing, there are always moments where you don't quite understand them, you wish they'd leave you alone or you want them to behave differently. My relationship with my younger brother, Matt was no different. In fact, there is a lot about our upbringing that created tension, uncertainty and situations that left both of us feeling as if we didn't quite know where we belonged. I was always the "hard worker"...

It's common for us to hear about a man cheating on a woman, and there's a certain stereotype, certain expectation perhaps that this is something that men do. It doesn't mean it's accurate, but you can probably agree that this is a more common conversation to have. But what about when a woman cheats on a man? Why do we not talk about this as much? Do we feel as if the man can "take it" more? That they don't have the same feelings that a woman has when their partner has cheated?I find this topi...

What do women want? Well as a man, I don't feel I'm really qualified to be able to answer that and it's a question I'm sure a lot of you men out there ask yourselves. To give us some insight into how a woman thinks, what she needs, how she communications and all the things us men really don't seem to understand, I've invited my wonderful wife Erika Cramer onto the show to break it all down.There are so many great moments throughout this episode. We touched on what "love languages" are and how...

I’m a massive fan of personal development as you probably already know. My wife and I combined have probably spent over $100,000 in personal and professional development. It’s been something that has been a part of my life for a very long time. Physical fitness is also a huge part of my life and I’ve always loved competing. From a young age I loved pushing myself, and I figured out fairly early on that not only did you need physical strength or endurance, the mind played a massive role. For m...

The other night I put on this movie for the kids called Outward. The basic premise of the film is that magic used to be prevalent in their world, and then with all the advancements in technology over the years, magic became obsolete and was largely discarded. While I was sitting there watching the film, it got me thinking of the parallels it was highlighting to our use of technology and all the convenience this has afforded us.But at what cost?We've chosen the convenient route more and more a...

I want to share with you this concept of left brain and right brain thinking because I feel like it's really influenced me to become the person that I am today. This concept states that we predominantly use the left or the right side of our brain, and depending on how we're wired, this informs our personality. If you're a left brain thinker you're more interested in logic, mathematics, planning and strategy. The right side thinkers are more working from a place of imagination, creativity, rhy...

A lot has changed very quickly. The world has been thrust into an unprecedented crisis and we’re all doing our best to cope with the changes. As much as we’re rising to the challenges, I’m sure we’ve all been experiencing difficulty with life at the moment. We are stuck at home and somehow we have to balance work, family and household responsibilities all at the same time without our usual ‘releases’ of gyms, cafes, parties, parks... It’s a unique challenge.Communication has always been a fun...
