Representing the Pissed Pooks, joining this week is Chris Hurren! A man who left school early to get a trade without telling his parents, did his time and branched off into running his own building business. He shares a few yarns about starting his company, getting involved in social sports and fatherhood. Theres a great story around the birth of his daughter you do not want to miss! Chris has an admirable approach towards parenting and dealing with uncontrollable situations.

We start with Becca's nursing career but the real conversation is built around her vision. After rupturing her eye in a car crash she was left with only one good eye and no depth perception. We share a few laughs and peel back some layers on how this has impacted her life since. Becca has such an amazing outlook on live, a mind set to tackle large obstacles and an inspiring story to share. Thank you Becca for the great yarn.

There is the general chit-chat in the later half as per normal, like, share and enjoy the episode!

Tobias, Toby or better know around town as DJBoomie! Tobias is the man behind Relatable Chapters intro tune but theres plenty more where that came from! He has been around the block, learnt a thing or two and had a blast along the way. DJBoomie shares the story of how he become a resident DJ, what a train wreck sounds like and what it feel like to miss a New Years countdown behind the decks. With his wise knowledge I'm surprised the moustache he usually rocks isn't the long and wispy sensei type! 

We cover his passion for the garden also but for more content on Tobias, you'll find him here on insta @djboomie

This man reckons he can only spin enough yarn for one sock and yet provides a few doozies in this episode. This week Jacob Prier shares his chapters in life which may shock a few old high school friend like myself. From van life and showering at site in England during covid to work away and cheap travel. Jacob has covered some distance in the last few years and it was great to catch up with him back home, first time having a summer Christmas in three years.

Georgia Crane has been ticking boxes and working hard to do so. She shares with us her career chapters and insights on her latest venture.

Being a school gap assistant in England opened her mind up with the vast world we live in and provided her with enough time to figure out which direction she wanted to take with life. Following her passion for sport, Georgia shares her journey through university and the career stepping stones she took to get her to where she is today. We discuss whats next, experiencing burn out and growing up in an era ruled by dating apps.

Through a natural progress with years in the gym, a bachelors degree and being a Les Mils group instructor, Georgia is now a personal trainer and loving it. As some gym goers put it, looking to 'tone up' or crush some goals coming into the new year, hit up Georgia and get cracking.

This week we dig into two different books. Liams sporting chapters and career chapters. 

Liam, my older brother was always my idol growing up. Whatever he did, I ended up following suit. He shares with us the highs and lows of his sporting chapters. From missing out on the jersey to earning the NZ fern, Liam has experienced a roller coaster of emotions. Sheer determination and grit saw him traveling to Canada and Australia representing the country.

He's also worked his way up the ranks in his career and learnt to diversify. With eyes set on new horizons, theres many adventures to hopefully share later down the track.

Theo takes Mason through the twists and turns of life and how he's built a sound mind through struggle. We discuss the grind of physical training and how an accountability partner is helpful. Other topics covered : how good meditation is, atomic habits, traveling through south east Asia and some discussable points.

I'd like to thank Theo for being so open and vulnerable in sharing his chapters, especially around his father and his time at university. Life isn't always sunshine and rainbows.

Living under the limelight of a couple greats of the industry, Ben shares a few of his own chapters. From not wanting to be a driver, to racing in the prestigious New Zealand Cup. We dabble in the enormous hours spent to get him to the top, some gnarly injuries and his one off time modelling.

Ben reckons it is such a vibe around the track and that we should all utilise the events as a means of catching up with your friends. Slapping on a $2 bet, having a few drinks, sharing some great yarns and getting amongst it.

To wrap up mental health awareness month, I sit down with Anna Blackburn. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to delve into the raw emotions after losing a loved one to mental health. She's such a strong woman to be open about this topic and raise awareness about it. We discuss what her personal recovery consisted of and the type of lady she is today. 

Anna shares how she found joy again and also fleeing the country to simply be 'Anna' again. The amazing experience at one of the summer camps in America and a few extra goodies along the way.
