Welcome to another solo Q&A episode! A very raw and unfiltered chat. I opened up about everything from navigating confusion and anxiety to the lonely season of life I am in, the importance of pain, what it means to be a strong man today and much, much more.

If you’re in the thick of it right now - building, doubting, or questioning what’s next - this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by my good mate Ollie Moore, a hybrid athlete who’s on a mission to become the best in the world. 

And when I say “all in,” I mean it… this guy is the walking, talking definition of it.

Ollie opens up about what it truly means to back yourself 100%, the mindset shifts that come from sacrifice and self-discipline, and the unseen work that separates the good from the great. 

We also talk about what belief really looks like, where it comes from, and how to protect your energy, your environment, and your dreams at all costs.

There’s a raw honesty in this one. From building daily habits and letting go of distractions, to friendships, relationships, and training in complete silence and so much more.

Enjoy

Today we sit down with Mark Rolton, property developer, entrepreneur, and founder of Massland, one of Australia’s most successful property development companies. 

Known for his business acumen and no-fluff mindset, Mark goes deep in this conversation, opening up about his personal life, values, and philosophy in a way that most people haven’t seen.

This episode covers much more than business. It’s about parenting, legacy, masculinity, grief, and the reality of building true resilience. Mark shares raw, powerful stories that cut straight to the core of what it means to lead—both in business and at home.

From Chris:

This is honestly one of my favourite episodes to date. Mark’s calm, grounded nature combined with his perspective on parenting, growth, and loss really stuck with me. The topics we explored here are some of the most important and meaningful I’ve ever had on the podcast and I truly believe everyone can take something from this.

Welcome to episode 62 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I sit down with Simon Hill - nutritionist, podcast host, author of The Proof is in the Plants, and one of the leading voices in evidence-based health and wellness.

Simon is known for breaking down complex nutrition science into simple, actionable advice. But in this conversation, we went way deeper than just food.

We spoke about Simon’s personal journey and what led him to become one of the most trusted names in the health space, as well as the challenges he still faces today. He opens up about dealing with imposter syndrome and constantly feeling like he’s not enough, even with everything he’s accomplished.

We also unpack some of the biggest nutrition myths floating around online and what the actual science says instead. Simon shares some practical principles that anyone can apply to improve their health, without overcomplicating it.

When your inner voice tells you you’re not doing enough, don’t listen to it…

Welcome to episode 61 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.

Today I sit down with Hunter McIntyre—one of the greatest endurance & hybrid athletes of our time, a three-time HYROX world champion, and an all-around larger-than-life character.

Hunter is known for his insane fitness, unmatched competitiveness, and his jock-like persona online. But behind the records and the bravado is a wild story of rebellion, struggle, and transformation.

He opens up about his troubled teenage years—getting into trouble, bouncing in and out of rehab centers, and being prescribed nearly every medication under the sun. It was a chaotic time that could have easily sent him down the wrong path permanently.

We talk about the turning point—when everything changed and how he took control of his life, channeling that restless energy into becoming one of the most dominant endurance athletes in the world. He shares the lessons he learned along the way, from pushing physical and mental limits to understanding what truly matters in life.

This was one of my favourite conversations to date. Hunter brings an insane amount of energy, honesty, and wisdom, and I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.

Welcome to episode 60 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.

Today I sit down with Dominique Elissa—a successful model, podcast host, and someone who’s been through some serious highs and lows.

Dom has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, but her journey hasn’t been all glitz and glamour. She opens up about struggling with insomnia, anxiety, and disordered eating during her early modelling days, the toll it took on her, and how she found a way to turn her life around.

We also dive into something incredibly personal—her recent engagement and rushed wedding. When we recorded this episode just two weeks ago, she had only just said "yes" to the love of her life. But soon after, she had to fast-track her wedding due to her mother’s battle with cancer. She was adamant that her mum had to be there, so they made it happen—right in the hospital. An emotional rollercoaster, to say the least.

Through it all, gratitude has been the anchor that’s kept Dominique grounded. She shares how practicing gratitude helped her navigate both rock-bottom moments and incredible highs, and why it’s such a crucial part of her life today.
