Me&Him Podcast

All good things must come to an end they say, and man...was this season 🔥 or what? 

Tim Allen rejoins the Me&Him podcast to reflect back on the wonderful guests that were gracious enough to spend an hour or two shooting the breeze with us over the past few months. 

We'd like to thank all the wonderful men who took time out to share their personal stories over the past few months. They have left both of us grateful and inspired, they are: 

• Tim Allen
• Dr Kim Kilgariff
• Marcello Colosimo
• Ben Cudmore
• Mike Stanely Jones
• Mark Head
• Cormac Jelicich
• Dave Robinson
• Master John Tooby

The honesty, openness and love displayed by our guests has blown us away. It gives us hope that that there are forces of good out in the world, balancing out the hate and division. 

Season 3 is currently planned to start in September, where we'll be inviting a mix of BOTH men and woman on the poddy to further expand our conversations around men's issues. 

Thanks for listening - we really do appreciate you!

Dad and I interview Dave Robinson, a men's advocate and regional coordinator for www.themenstable.org.

This interview is inspiring in its honesty. We discuss the trials of life and coping after relationship breakdown. The search for meaning and purpose is real.

Dave is an inspiring example of the how to serve others and, in turn, connect with oneself. His viewpoints on religion and spirituality will give you pause to reflect on your own relationship with the divine.

I am so proud and excited to welcome my youngest son Cormac onto the show today. 

Cormac is aware we've been doing the podcast and he expressed interest in sharing his point of few as a Gen Z'er, which Dad and I thought was a great idea! 

What I didn't expect was how deep Cormac would go in terms of the harm he believes social media and the porn industry are doing to his generation. Upon reflection, Gen X (my generation) was the last generation to be brought up free from having a computer attached to you at all times - and that was a good thing...  

Unfortunately, Cormac's phone died just before the end - but that's teenagers for you, ha! I think you'll enjoy his perspective - he is a very self-aware young man indeed.

OMG this episode it so good! 

I introduce Dad to my mate, Mark Head. Mark is besties with our last episode's guest, Mike, which makes for a fun chat.

Mark also became a quadriplegic after a freak surfing accident damaged his spinal cord. His story of perseverance and grit to one day surf again is inspirational. 

I love this man's heart. His positive attitude and 'don't give up' attitude has seen him make great strides in physical recovery. 

One can just tell he'll be catching a wave soon, while his father looking on with a tear of joy in the corner of his eye.

This episode is a real treat! 

My good friend, Mike Stanley Jones (or 'MSJ'), joins Me&Him in the virtual studio for a wonderful yarn. 

Mike is such a positive person, and he plays a connecting role in his close-knit community of Avalon Beach. He openly shares stories of the strong influence of his father in his life, his love of challenge/adventure and surprisingly - how he got to be teaching Pre Natal classes! 

Whether it's organising a beach rave, taking kids on camping adventures or saving lives on Avalon Beach, mike is 100% alive and we love that. 

I know you'll enjoy this episode :)

Dad was unable to join me this episode (don't worry, he's fine and will be back next episode) - so I'm driving solo! 

I had the great pleasure of interviewing a local legend, Benny Cudmore from Self Seen, a men's health not for profit outfit based here in Port Macquarie. 

Benny shared his incredible story, with me of how he overcame meth addiction and bankruptcy to rebuild himself and his family and restore his joie de vivre.

Ben's brutal honesty is admirable; he's an open book and his willingness to share is driven by a passion to help other men facing similar challenges.

Welcome to part 2 of our wide-ranging conversation with Dr Kim Kilgariff. 

In this episode, Kim delves deeper into the foundational elements that drive good health and sustained happiness. Whether owing to nature, nurture - or society in general - men's poor communication skills can often leave them feeling isolated and alone. 

Kim unpacks a couple of more of his patented techniques to assist men to improving their communication and reset their perception of the people and world around them. The principles are easy to understand, timeless and effective. 

Enjoy the conversation!

This episode is a real treat!

Dad & I interview Dr Kim Kilgariff, a long-time friend, acupuncturist, Ayurvedic practitioner and owner of Clear Health Centre up in beautiful Byron Bay, Australia.

I first met Kim at a business conference. After the event we all crowded the bar and, while the rest of us were chugging beers, Kim ordered a hot water with fresh lemon. When I asked him why this drink, he said that he felt dehydrated and wanted to get back into balance. This was an insight into who Kim is - very self-aware and not concerned at all with what others think.

Kim runs health retreats in Byron and currently helps couples archive optimum health and connection. In this episode he explains how to be the B.E.S.T version of yourself. You gain at least one important insight after this episode.

PS: Kim does actually enjoy a beer or two!
