Today I sit down with former mix martial artist, current boxing coach and my good friend Luke Howard for a raw conversation about identity, masculinity, and what happens when the thing you build your life around is taken away.

Luke opens up about why he craved attention as a young boy, how that led him into martial arts, and how fighting became more than just a sport — it became his identity. We unpack why it’s often not trauma that holds men back, but old patterns and learned behaviours that quietly run our lives.

We also talk about how therapy helped Luke become more comfortable in his own skin, the real difference between trust and faith, and what it felt like when his fighter identity was stripped away — forcing him to redefine who he was without the fight.

This episode is for anyone navigating identity loss, personal growth, masculinity, or the uncomfortable process of becoming a more grounded man.

Today I sit down with bare knuckle champ Dan Chapman. He opens up about growing up in the foster care system, surviving childhood trauma, and the mindset that helped him choose strength over victimhood.

This is an honest conversation about resilience, authenticity, and why in the end, the truth always comes out.

In this episode of The Martin Show, I sit down with entrepreneur and creator Elias Araya (Give With Elias) to talk about faith, giving, purpose, and what it really means to walk with God.

We unpack the birth and growth of Rescue2000 in Bali, Elias’ deep connection with Jesus, and the seasons where stepping away from God made life noticeably harder. Elias shares powerful reflections on why poverty starts in the mind, how faith reshapes the way we see opportunity, and why giving isn’t just an action — it’s a mindset.

We also dive into brotherhood, family, and the importance of building a strong bond with your siblings, including the love and respect Elias has for his brother and how that relationship has shaped the man he’s becoming.

If you’re a man trying to build a better life, deepen your faith, or realign your walk with God — this episode is for you.
