The Pocket with Chris Griffin

Welcome to episode 42 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

This one is a deeply personal and special one. My guest is Sam Hope—Director of the Forbes Club, an incredible young entrepreneur at just 22, and more importantly, my best friend.

Sam and I have been through everything together, from extreme highs to crushing lows. At one point, we were sharing a mattress on the floor of a studio apartment because our bed got mouldy. We merged our bank accounts just to scrape together enough for groceries and keep a roof over our heads. Those tough times shaped us, not just as individuals but also as a team. Now, we look back on those moments with pride, knowing they were the foundation for everything we’ve built since. They’re also just amazing memories to look back on. They are comparison points.

Beyond the rawness of our shared story, we also dive into what makes Sam so extraordinary: his unparalleled networking skills. Sam has this rare ability to make people genuinely invested in him and his vision. He doesn’t just walk into a room—he owns it, leaving a lasting impression that gets him into spaces where opportunities flourish. In this episode, he breaks down how he does it and shares actionable insights on how you, too, can become a networking powerhouse.

If you’ve ever wondered how to connect with people in a way that’s authentic and impactful, or if you’re facing challenges and need some inspiration to keep going, this conversation is for you. Sam’s wisdom, grit, and expertise will leave you motivated to level up your life, whether you’re an entrepreneur or just trying to figure things out.

Enjoy this one team <3

Welcome to episode 41 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I sit down with Stefan Torres, a social media sensation who’s known for his cooking and food review videos as well as his outgoing and energetic nature. 

Over the past eight months, Stefan’s online presence has exploded, but his journey to get here is quite extreme to say the least. Certainly not just an overnight success.

Stefan opens up about his early years, slipping into the party and drug scene and eventually battling a 10-year addiction to ice. He shares his raw story of overcoming addiction, the lessons learned, and the struggles he faced along the way. Now a proud father of two young girls, Stefan reflects on what genuinely matters to him today, from family to the values he wants to instill in his kids.

Tune in to hear how Stefan turned his life around, proving that no matter how deep you go, there’s always a way back.

Welcome to episode 40 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I’m joined for the second time on the show, the fan favourite, Diogo Giglio – a man whose energy and positivity could brighten anyone’s day. 

Diogo shares stories from his childhood, reflecting on the difficult experience of being bullied and how those early challenges shaped him into the person he is today.

Our conversation dives into the realities of Diogo’s life as a business owner, where staying balanced can be tough, especially with the demands of work and family life. Diogo opens up about his faith and what it means to him, sharing a perspective on God that’s more about connection and purpose than traditional religion. It’s a real insight into how he finds meaning and guidance, even during life’s toughest moments.

We also explore the concept of giving – something Diogo feels passionately about. He believes giving back is essential, especially when it’s difficult, and explains how that mindset has brought unexpected blessings into his life. This episode is packed with Diogo’s wisdom, positivity, and the kind of insights that can shift anyone’s perspective on life.

Tune in to feel inspired, uplifted, and maybe take away a new way of looking at the world. Diogo’s story is a powerful reminder that even in the toughest times, we can find light, purpose, and joy.

Welcome to episode 39 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Our guest today is Oliver Cronin. Oliver is one of my best friends. We barely left each other during lockdown because we lived in the buildings next to each other. I had a little gym set up in my office. 

Oliver would come over every day on my lunch break to train. While we would train he would play the new music he created that morning. This was before he gained millions of followers online.

Oliver got signed to a major record label when he was 17 years old which led him to drop out of school to become a Rapper. He thought he made it at that moment but was quickly humbled by many challenges he had to face in those few years after. 

Now 22 years old he has blown up on social media and is the most well known up and coming artist in the whole country and has been travelling around the world performing and creating music with some of the biggest names in the industry.

This was a good one fam! Enjoy

Welcome to episode 37 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

I’m joined by independent author Paul Millerd, best known for his best-selling book The Pathless Path and his latest release Good Work. Paul’s story is one of courage, transformation, and redefining what it means to live a successful life.

After achieving everything he thought represented success, Paul realized it wasn’t truly fulfilling. In a bold move, he decided to “blow up” his conventional life and pursue writing—a choice that allowed him to find his version of "good work."

During our conversation, Paul and I dive deep into his journey and unpack lessons about breaking free from societal expectations to follow a path that truly serves your soul. Whether you're looking for inspiration or practical advice, this episode will leave you questioning what success really means and how to find your own "good work."

What you should expect to hear in this episode is Paul defining what Good Work is, how the first step to living the life you want to live is to blow up your current one, how having a season of solitude is important, how there is three different forms of marriages in your life, self gaslighting and much much more.

This was a great episode and all I ask is that if you enjoy this episode with a friend you think it will help.

Welcome to episode 36 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

My guest today is Noah Rolette, one of the founders of Raw Dawg Run Club, a group that has taken the running world by storm. What began as a small, casual run among friends has quickly become one of the largest and most vibrant run clubs globally, known for its lively atmosphere and unique approach to fitness.

In this episode, Noah opens up about the journey he and his best friends went through—from sharing a cramped room at his parents’ house, moving into a small, moldy flat, to suddenly blowing up on social media. In just over a year, they've transformed their lives, and the story of how they built Raw Dawg into a global movement is absolutely insane! 

Raw Dawg Run Club's philosophy of “raw-dogging life” resonates with many people who are tired of traditional gym culture. The name itself may seem provocative, but Noah explains that it represents a mindset of tackling life head-on without over-preparation. Their viral content on Instagram helped the club gain massive traction, resulting in thousands of people showing up to run at their club. It’s not just about running—it’s about building connections, staying healthy, and enjoying life with like-minded people. And of course, RAWDAWGING it!

Welcome to episode 35 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

We dive into the incredible story of Cru Mahoney today, a man whose extreme approach to life has made him stand out in today’s world. 

Cru has never touched alcohol, caffeine, drugs, or even supplements in his life, and he’s proud of it. In fact, a video of him discussing his "lame" lifestyle choices went viral, racking up 50 million views and turning him into a social media sensation.

What’s more, Cru has gone for a run every day for the last 2300 days—yes, every single day. He shares what motivates him to maintain such intense discipline, why he chooses to live outside the norm, and how this approach has shaped his success and happiness.

This is an inspiring conversation with someone who’s truly committed to living life on his own terms, no shortcuts, no distractions, and definitely no excuses.

I just absolutely love speaking to people that are unique. People that are actually doing things for them, living on their own terms and coming up with their own conclusions. It’s so refreshing.

This episode was such a good one!
