In Episode 13 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with my long time friend Jake Edginton on my first (and potentially last) Zoom podcast. 

Jake and myself went to high school together and I therefore had the foresight of a number of personal challenges he has gone through over the years. 

Jake is the brains behind “RattlesnakeTV”, which has grown to over 600,000 subscribers on YouTube since its inception in 2022.

Throughout our discussion, we spoke about how he dealt with the above mentioned personal challenges, his early childhood, the rise of his YouTube platform, difficulties faced throughout his early teenage years and much more. 

Anyone of our mutual friends listening will attest to the fact that Jake is as genuine as it gets and I hope that anyone listening gets something out of his story.

In Episode 12 of The Steak Lad Experience, I had the genuine privilege of sitting down with Bradley Dryburgh. 

Bradley was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a child and has been through a number of eye opening health battles which are further outlined throughout our conservation. Despite this, he has an incredible perspective on enjoying the small things in life and has used his inspiring story as motivation for his podcast “A Lot to Talk About”. 

We spoke about the power of consistency whilst doing the things you love, the highs and lows of his journey with Cystic Fibrosis, how to overcome self worth issues, the immense love he has his immediate family as well as his partner Soph and much more. 

For a man who has done over 300 podcasts and is based in Sydney, to have the chance to sit down with Bradley over a long form discussion like this one was incredible and is something I am beyond beyond grateful for. 

I truly hope anyone listening gets as much out of is as I did.

In Episode 11 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by the inspiring man that is Liam Power.

On August the 27th 2024, Liam will be attempting to break the Ultramarathon running record from Sydney to Melbourne in an effort to raise $1 million for Beyond Blue. 

To do this he will need to run a staggering 177kms per day, over 5 days.

Liam was unfortunately plagued by an unstable early childhood and found running in his early teenage years which helped him cope with the debilitating anxiety and depression he developed as a result of this trauma.

In our discussion, we spoke about the lows in his mental health journey, his main inspirations, the motivation behind his upcoming run from Sydney to Melbourne and much more. 

For anyone listening, I implore you do to do whatever you can to assist Liam in making his dream a reality and if inspired to do so, donate using the link below.

In Episode 10 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by my long time friend Michael Glasser, the man behind “Munching with Mentors.” 

Myself and Michael met at a birthday party and he has been a massive inspiration behind the podcast platform I have started. 

Our brief encounter roughly 10 years ago was at a time when he was running “The Hamburgler” Instagram page which was one of Melbourne’s most well known Burger pages at the time… as we touched on in our discussion I couldn’t actually believe I met him!!! 

We spoke about his goals for his Munching with Mentors platform, learnings from over 20 interviews in 100 days, finding his purpose and the continual journey towards finding the best version of himself.

We also touched on some challenging periods of his life to date and how he overcame what he described as "rock bottom". 

This was an insightful episode for anyone who is also unsure about the journey they are on and highlighted the importance of living in the moment.

In Episode 9 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by the powerful Bradley Marshall.  

For 26 years of his life, Bradley suffered from debilitating eczema which left him struggling to work and in constant pain. 

Destined to a life of pharmaceutical drugs, he stumbled upon the carnivore diet by chance which ultimately cured him of all symptoms within 3 months. Today he is a shining light of positivity and for me personally serves as a reminder to enjoy the small things in life that most people take for granted. 

The perspective that Bradley had on life was incredibly powerful. Prior to our discussion we shared a sauna and a swim in the ocean together and whilst walking to the beach, he stated that he considered himself grateful just to be able to do what we were doing in that moment.  

To anyone listening who is struggling, I hope that our discussion serves as a reminder that hard times will pass and you too can live a life like the one Bradley is living with the right mindset.

In Episode 8 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by my good friend Charlie Crozier. 

Myself and Charlie met a few years ago by chance when he was in his early 20s, so it was great to catch up with him to discuss where he is at now. 

Charlie is the founder of the start up company Voli, which strives to empower businesses and individuals to do good, more often. This venture was inspired by his father's death from cancer when he was just 20 years old, which shifted his goal of becoming a billionaire to impacting a billion people worldwide. 

We spoke about his keen interest in long distance running and how he uses this interest to push him in other areas of his life, the impact his father has/continues to have on his life, future plans for his Company Voli and much more. 

I found the perspective Charlie had on some of the challenges he has been through to date and how he uses these to grow as a person highly insightful and trust anyone who takes the time to listen will feel the same.

In Episode 7 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by Melbourne Real Estate Agent and Bodybuilder John Gorman, otherwise known as Johnny Starr. 

John was gracious enough to sit down with me despite a full day of open for inspections prior to our discussion, for which I was very grateful. 

An icon in the Australian bodybuilding social media scene, we spoke about his goal of making his company Never Home a globally recognised brand, the passion he has for bodybuilding, his eye opening mental health battles and the downsides of social media influence. 

To say that John has been through it all during his 35 years on this earth is genuinely an understatement, however I am convinced the path he is currently on will change the lives of millions worldwide.

In Episode 6 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by Melbourne Real Estate Agent Paul Jones. 

Despite the imminent arrival of a second child, Paul was kind enough to sit down with me to have this raw and inspiring discussion.

We spoke about how he started in Real Estate, some of the challenges faced throughout his career, future plans for his current business (Jones Real Estate) and his battle with a previous drug/alcohol addiction. 

This conversation serves as a reminder on the importance of setting priorities and the pathway out of addiction. Whilst me and Paul go back a bit, I uncovered a lot about him in this conversation that I had no idea about and was genuinely grateful for his time.

In Episode 5 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by my Mum for a bit of a Mother’s Day podcast special. 

To say my Mum has been through it all raising four children is an understatement and it was an absolute pleasure sitting down with her to have this conversation which is unlike any we have ever had before. 

We spoke about my early childhood, our shared passion for health/wellbeing, some challenges our family has been through and my Grandma who died tragically when my Mum was just 28 years of age. 

Whilst I had to push my Mum along a bit to do this, I have no doubt it will serve as a great memory for me and my family for years to come.

In Episode 4 of The Steak Lad Experience, I was joined by elite Australian bodybuilder Aaron Curtis. 

Having trained since his early teenage years, Aaron was an early social media bodybuilding icon in Australia and throughout the world.  

We spoke about how his passion for the sport, the mindset involved in preparing your body for a bodybuilding competition, challenges he has faced balancing his lifestyle whilst remaining committed towards his family and much more.

I honestly did not expect Aaron to be as open as he was during our discussion.  It serves as a great reminder that everyone goes through struggles and that you should check in on your mates, even if they appear happy on the outside.
