In this high-energy episode of the PRsonal Podcast, Charlotte sits down with Adam Foster — marketing agency director, university lecturer, bodybuilder, and professional wrestler, better known to fans as Shreddy.

Behind the muscles and the bravado is a story of grit, charisma, and the pursuit of a childhood dream. Adam shares how a YouTube channel born from porridge oats and persistence became the launchpad for a wrestling persona, and how years later, “Shreddy” is inseparable from Adam himself.

But this isn’t just about wrestling moves or marketing wins. Adam opens up about what it takes to tell a story in the ring, why charisma outweighs technical perfection, and how the discipline of bodybuilding shapes every part of his life. From standing ringside at WWE Smackdown to competing on the bodybuilding stage in Australia, his journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless ambition.

We explore:

• The origins of Shreddy and why persona matters as much as performance
• Wrestling as storytelling — good guys, villains, and the emotion between the moves
• Building a business that fits life, not the other way around
• The discipline of bodybuilding, and why diet trumps everything
• Wrestling for WWE (almost) and what it means to keep chasing the dream
• How identity, ambition, and authenticity collide inside and outside the ring

Adam’s story is proof that you don’t need to choose one path when you can build your own. Whether he’s lecturing, lifting, or lacing up his boots, he’s living the lesson that success isn’t about being one thing — it’s about showing up fully in all the things you love.

This is an episode for anyone who’s ever juggled different passions, fought against stereotypes, or wondered if they could really turn childhood dreams into adult realities. With honesty, humour, and a spark of showmanship, Adam reminds us that the best stories — in wrestling and in life — are the ones that connect.
