Shots With Shaun

After HKFC Albion were crowned champions of the Yau Yee amateur football league in Hong Kong, I took some time out of our celebrations and sat down with striker Michael Hampshire, captain Thomas McGilly, and manager Nick Day. We had a fun time discussing amateur football in Hong Kong, our success on and off the pitch, team bonding and what aspirations we had throughout a stop start season.

I travelled to the South side on a beautiful day in Shek ‘O Hong Kong, where old time friend and professional Rugby player Max Woodward spends his time. We engaged in a number of topics ranging from Rugby training, Covid-19, nutrition, injuries and mindset for athletes alike.

I was lucky enough to catch up with my brother and co-founder of IKIGAI Gianni along with long time friend Aveen. We shared interesting ideas of what mindfulness and meditation truly is, and what profound effects it has on society.

Fast forward 4 lockdowns and gyms being reopened, I sat down with renowned Hong Kong personal trainers Jefferson, Issac, Amanda and Martin.

All of them have competed in bodybuilding shows around the world. I picked their brains on the preparation aspect of competing in these competitions. An ever growing sport that has one of the biggest social media followings in the world!

After recently opening their new barbershop - SAUCE, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jack, Sean and Chris to discuss what the life of being a barber is like, history of hairstyles and beards, fashion and much more!

Had a great time talking to Russell and Louis. I’ve known them for about 4 years now and I’ve always looked up to them. In this episode we not only learn about the success they have achieved in their respective fields, but also recall funny stories together!
