Welcome to episode 55 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

My guest today is Australian singer song writer and global touring artist, Ziggy Alberts. 

We dove deep into his story from starting out as a busker, doing everything the opposite of the conventional way. He would be told he cant do something and he just wanted to prove them wrong and do what he truely wanted to do. It was very inspiring to chat about. 

We also spoke about touring the world, surfing, what he does outside of his work and so much more. 

Ziggy has a new album called New Love coming out on Friday this week.

Welcome to episode 54 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Noah Hunter Dorsey steps into the podcast world for the first time, and he’s not holding back. This is one of those stories that makes you rethink what’s possible.

Noah isn’t just a guy with multiple 7-figure businesses—he’s someone who’s lived a lot of life. Before the success, before the crazy marketing wins, he hit rock bottom. No money. No direction, in a city he didn’t like, wondering what the hell was next.

In a last-ditch effort to figure himself out, he packed a bag and took off on a two-month, soul-searching journey to India. No business plans. No clear path. Just a deep dive into self-discovery. That trip changed everything. When he got back to Melbourne, he went all in on building his own businesses. Hustling, failing, learning—until one day, the universe decided to throw him a lifeline in the wildest way possible.

Out of nowhere, his phone rings. On the other end? Bianca Censori. Kanye West’s wife. And she’s got a proposition: handle the marketing for Yeezy.

Noah takes it on and completely flips the script. He scales sales from $40K a day to a jaw-dropping $19 million in a single day—thanks to a perfectly executed Super Bowl ad. From sleeping on the floor to pulling in numbers most people can’t even dream of.

This was a good one! I can’t wait for you to tune in.

Welcome to episode 53 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

In this episode, I sit down with Will Henke, the co-founder of Bambu Fitness, Bali’s most known and loved gym. But before building a fitness empire, Will spent nearly a decade in the US military, mainly in the special operations arm, living a life that most of us only see in movies.

Some key topics of this conversation:

🏋️‍♂️ The birth of Bambu Fitness – how it started and what makes it unique.

🎖️ Will’s time in special operations – the highs, the challenges, and what he took from that experience into the rest of his life.

❤️ His marriage to Carrie – they tied the knot just 5 months after meeting, and 14 years later, they’re still going strong.

🌏 What’s next? – the exciting projects Will and his team are working on beyond Bambu.

AND MUCH MUCH MORE

This was a good one fam. Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 50 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin, a little milestone!

I sit down with 4-time world champion kite surfer James Carew today. This guy is an absolute beast on the water and a legend in the sport, but there’s way more to him than just catching waves.

James opens up about overcoming one of the most severe injuries of his career—a setback that would’ve ended things for most people. Instead, he came back stronger than ever, winning the world championship straight after. It’s a story of grit, resilience, and straight-up determination.

We also dig into the people behind his success, especially his partner, who has been his rock through it all. James talks about how she’s been by his side during the highs and lows, helping him stay grounded and focused. And if you think his drive to win is just about personal glory, think again—so much of what James does is for his dad, who’s been a massive inspiration in his journey.

With all that said however, James highlights how much of a solo journey it still is and how important it is to be comfortable in the solitude.

This was a good one fam - enjoy!!

Our guest today is Harry Garside, Olympic Boxer, author of The Good Fight, and a man that is unapologetically himself, expressing all the highs, and being vulnerable in the lows.

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.

Some key topics we covered:

• 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

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.
