Lily Riley is an accomplished powerlifter within Australia having held multiple GPC world records and nationals records as a junior and open lifter. She has reached the top of competition competing in numerous ProRaw events held at the Arnold Sports Festival every year. She is also a strength coach herself boasting a young an strong team in Brisbane.

Unfortunately this year just before she was meant to compete she was diagnosed with renal (kidney) cancer. But true to Lily's humble and selfless nature not once did she think poor me but still had others in the fore front of her mind. 

Today we sit down with Lil and she retells her story of dealing with cancer.

We sit down in this episode with the two lads that go above and beyond to make myself and Bbad sound almost bearable. We truly believe they have the hardest job in the world trying to wrangle us two into making sure these episodes are delivered to the highest quality.

Arian Behbehani lifter, coach, referee, pilot student and just a down right good soul within powerlifting. We are very lucky to sit down and chat with Arian about his lifting career and now transition into coaching. 
Arian has also been quoted as the greatest hype man in powerlifting and the connection forged between himself and Jonny... well I'm still weighing up if it is a good thing.

This is an incredible story. Scotty Phillips was a career criminal in his earlier years and found himself in prison wondering what the hell happened. This is a rough around the edges podcast that highlights his life and that no matter how bad it gets there is always a way out by addressing the root of what is going on. 
Scotty now online trades and lives between Thailand and Brisbane with his wife and new Bub. Scotty is now trained by Jonny and has competed multiple times on the platform.

I would like to start off by saying we actually didn't invite these two guys on the show, they collaborated themselves and then forced us to do an episode with them both together. 
In saying that, too now frequent guests on the show, we are super privileged to have these very highly intelligent gentlemen on again, as they delve deep into the mindset of our culture. 

This Podcast is 60% Paul, 30% Gawain... 5% Jonny and 5% Brandon.

Kaine Shephard and Nick Wilson are both incredible powerlifters. Having spent little time in the sport, both are already pushing the boundaries and edging closer and closer to that elite level. Yes this is impressive, but what makes these two great humans are who they are off the platform.

You will also hear us discuss about the program of Swiss8 and how you can help support ex service men and women. Follow the links below.
