Welcome to episode 47 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Our guest today is Eddie Nelson. Eddie has an inspiring story from being in a rehab centre at 14 years old due to excessive alcohol and drug consumption, to building a breath work and movement method called BRED. Her classes have been taking Australia by storm combining Pilates and Breath work into the one class, leaving everyone feeling revitalised.

Some key topics we covered:

• Eddie’s childhood. The challenges she faced with sickness in family, more specifically her younger sister, excessive drug and alcohol usage and why she was doing that.
• What got Eddie out of her rut. The severity of her lows and the things that slingshot her forward
• Why Eddie kept attracting the same people into her life
• Masculine & Feminine divide and how important leaning into Eddie’s feminine has been
• A trip to India that changed her whole outlook on life

AND, much, much, much more.

Welcome to episode 46 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.

This episode we have the amazing Rawson Kirkhope as our guest. Rawson is the Co-Founder of the rapidly growing fitness empire in Bondi, VRTUS.

To see where Rawson has come from, to where he is today is something we all can gain inspiration from. Rawson experienced extreme challenges growing up with a father that had Schizophrenia, resulting in multiple personalities, some days were great, some days were extremely terrifying. 

Things took a massive turn when Rawson was 13 and his Dad shot two bullets into his mother, while he stood there in the shower watching. Crazy I know.

We go through his whole story including all the highs and lows that followed that moment and led him to where he is today having a booming fitness business leaving a major impact on the local communities and beyond.

This was a good one fam! Enjoy.

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
