“Would You Want Your Daughter to Marry a Man Like You?”
When Aston asked Adam that question, his answer was immediate.
“No. F**k no.”
It was a turning point.
Not just in their marriage but in how they saw themselves. As partners. As parents. As people.

Aston and Adam Simmonds take us deep into the trenches of a relationship on the brink,  from silence and resentment to radical honesty and transformation.
They didn’t just save their marriage.
They rebuilt themselves.
What followed was brutal accountability, uncomfortable growth, and a complete rewiring of what it means to be a partner, a parent, a man, a woman,  and most importantly, a whole human being.
Now they guide thousands through Save My Marriage School, and their Recreate Your Relationship Retreat, but this episode? This is where they strip it all back.

This convo is for you if:
 👉  You feel like you’re roommates, not lovers.
 👉  You’ve been pretending everything’s fine for far too long.
 👉  You’re scared of what your kids are learning by watching you.
 👉  You’re starting to realise: It’s not them. It’s me.
 👉  You don’t need another relationship hack.
 👉  You need to get honest.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ve got this” while silently drowning, this episode is for you.

Steve spent 16 years in the FIFO life. Big money. Big weekends. And an even bigger mask. He was stuck in the rinse and repeat cycle. Drink hard, blow off steam, then grit through the dread of going back to work. Sound familiar?

In this honest convo, Steve opens up about the moment everything cracked. What started as just trying to keep up with the boys turned into panic attacks, burnout, and eventually a full breakdown. But that breaking point became his breakthrough.

How breathwork helped him reconnect to himself and how he’s now helping other FIFO workers drop the armour and deal with the real stuff. Grief, anger, shame, pressure, performance.

In today's episode, we dive into a compelling and thought-provoking story that explores the complexities of violence, justice, and the resilience of the human spirit. Our guest, Matt Floyd, is a survivor of child abuse, a former biker boss, turned professional boxer, Pinky’s gym owner, and a youth mentor. His journey is one of immense struggle, as he shares his past and current experiences of being let down by the very systems designed to protect him. 

Matt's story takes us through his turbulent upbringing, marked by being shuffled between foster homes and losing faith in the adults he once trusted. Eventually, he found himself on a path of becoming a teenage vigilante, driven by a desire to expose pedophiles and predators in and around the Perth area. 
However, one act of violence against a pedophile led to consequences that left Matt serving 3.5 years in jail, while the pedophile, who was a police informant, received a mere 10-month sentence.

Seeking solace and relief, Matt turned to boxing, where he discovered a means to channel his pain and create a safe space for underprivileged kids who shared similar experiences. A gym free of judgment with the goal of community, rehabilitation, and self-discipline. A place created that he wished for his younger self. 

As we navigate this conversation with Matt, it's impossible to ignore the discomfort and conflict that arises when contemplating the role of violence in society.
The questions that emerge are profound: When, if ever, is violence justified? Can two wrongs ever make a right? Who stands up to protect the most vulnerable among us, and how can we address the discrepancies within the justice system? Furthermore, why is there a lack of comprehensive studies focusing on the root causes of such dark realities?
In pondering these questions, a quote by Martin Luther King resonates: 
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." 
How can we utilise love to combat such darkness, and when do we draw the line?
Join us as we embark on this deeply introspective journey, exploring the complexities of violence, justice, and the power of love. It's time to confront uncomfortable truths and challenge our own beliefs. Let's seek understanding and together, discover the path to a more compassionate and just world.

Rodney Bridge, Founder Sideffect and anti-synthetic drugs campaigner
His 16-year-old son, Preston died in 2013 after taking a synthetic form of LSD purchased over the dark web by a friend.

Told by authorities that investigating the drug organisation was futile, he tracked down the company that made the drug himself and travelled to China, secretly filming a meeting with the drug’s distributors.  

Rodney took the evidence to the Australian Federal Police. Later, he enlisted Nine’s current affairs program 60 Minutes to film another meeting in China using hidden cameras. That vision was seen by 1.2 billion people worldwide.  

Rodney’s investigation resulted in a crackdown in China and the restriction of manufacturing, trade and sale of 116 synthetic drugs. Twenty-one thousand Chinese nationals were arrested, 1,500 factories were closed and 248 websites were shut down.   

Rodney’s tragedy became his life’s mission. He founded Sideffect Australia, a not-for-profit that builds awareness about substance use and teaches young people to make informed decisions.
