Two Blokes One Business

You can give your time to others, build a business, and support the people around you while your own needs are never met.

In this episode, Harry singha shares what changes when he starts asking himself the questions he asks everyone else.

Harry takes us inside a childhood shaped by domestic violence and explains why he rejects the idea that he leaves home at 15 to “escape.” He shares what that day means to him, how listening to young people leads to his first workshops, and why helping others becomes such a strong part of his life.

He shares the shift from helping people because he needs to, to helping them because he wants to. For business owners and leaders who put everyone else first, his story raises a hard question about success and self-care.

We also explore courage, self-doubt, and the labels that shape what you think you can do.

Listen to the full episode for Harry’s take on personal growth, leadership, and building a life that has room for both impact and the people you love.

At 19, Morgan Nelson was an apprentice carpenter on $7.50 an hour, working 14-hour days in 42-degree heat, and using drugs just to get through the week.

He hit rock bottom hard. Then he asked a mate one question: how are you so happy?

That simple question led him to walk into a room he thought was a cult, start a business that night, and fail for two and a half years.

By 23 he was financially free and living in Mexico.

In this episode, he shares what actually shifted in his head, and why your brain treats leaving your comfort zone like a threat to your life.

We also get into how to rewire fear the way a dog trainer fixes a "bad" dog, and the three, two, one bungee rule Morgan still uses on anything scary.

Morgan shares the monkey cage story that shows why people talk themselves out of their dreams, the Asch experiment that gets 97% of a room to doubt their own eyes, and why the fear you feel around a big goal is really adrenaline.

If you're an entrepreneur, a tradie, or anyone staring over the fence at a better life, this mindset episode is for you.

"I don't have time" is the biggest lie you tell yourself. And it's the exact reason you should make a change.

In this episode of Two Blokes One Business, Harvs and Powelly break down the four excuses they’ve heard many times: I don't have time, I can't afford it, my partner won't approve, and I'm not good enough.

They don't tell you you're wrong, instead they hand you a reframe for each one so you believe it from the inside out. Y

ou'll hear why every choice you've made so far built the life you have now, and why nothing shifts until one of those choices does.

They also lived these excuses. In this episode, you'll learn:

✅A powerful reframe that turns all four excuses into the reason to act, not the reason to wait

✅ The 24 hour question that blows past the easy "no" in your head and reveals how resourceful you really are

✅ How to tell if "I can't afford it" is fear talking or an honest answer

✅ The three questions to ask before your partner's doubt becomes your excuse

✅ Why "I'm not good enough" never goes away (but there is something that shrinks it)

✅ The dog, horse and tiger model that shows how you'll perform when nobody is watching

In this episode, we sit down with Matt Srama, former Gold Coast Titans player and founder of a seven-figure buyer's agency.

You’ll hear how Matt's NRL career ended through injury, not choice. Which meant he had to walk away from his whole identity and start again from zero.

What got him through was a handful of athlete habits anyone can learn.

We also dig into the "five layers deep" exercise that turned "I want a million bucks a year" into "I want to pay off my mum's mortgage."

We cover why perfectionism comes from fear and why Matt had to unlearn it to scale.

We talk mentors, and why athletes have zero ego about asking for help.

If you're a business owner, career changer, or anyone who wants to be a better parent, partner or professional, this episode gives you the athlete mindset without the athlete background.

In this episode, you'll learn:

👉 The one thing to get clear on before you make a single change in your life

👉 How to build life-changing levels of discipline… even when you feel you don’t have any

👉 The "five layers deep" exercise that turned a shallow money goal into something far more powerful

👉 Why the trait that makes elite athletes great can hold you back in business (and what to replace it with)

👉 Two daily questions that separates people who get what they want from people stuck in a rut

What if the jobs you think are pointless right now are actually preparing you for the career and business you want later?

What if the thing holding you back are patterns your past installed without asking you?

In this episode, hypnotist and mindset coach Ole Hill pulls back the curtain on hypnosis, the subconscious mind, and self-image.

You'll find out why smart, hardworking people hit the same income ceiling every year. Why progress slips away right when things get good. And why change never sticks (even when you know exactly what you want).

Forget stage shows and swinging watches, Ole shares how real hypnotherapy works, and how he uses subconscious reprogramming with business owners and high performers to remove limiting beliefs.

He also reveals something he calls the "Subconscious Success Setting" - a hidden level of money, health, and happiness your brain treats as normal.

In this episode, you'll discover:

👉 What hypnosis actually is and why the stage version hides its real power
👉 The hidden battle between your conscious and subconscious mind (and which one wins)
👉 How one limiting belief can drain your money, business, and confidence
👉 Why your brain drags you back to familiar patterns, even ones you hate
👉 The "Subconscious Success Setting" creating an invisible ceiling capping your results
👉 Why high performers self-sabotage the moment life gets good
👉 The four stages of Ole's Hypnotic Personality Reset
👉 How to stop fighting your own mind and put it to work for you

Can you achieve peak performance without burning out?

In this conversation, Sean explains why burnout is not caused by ambition alone.

It happens when hard work, stress, and responsibility are not balanced with structured recovery, clear purpose, and sustainable habits.

Drawing on elite sport, performance psychology, business, and his research into overtraining and burnout, Sean breaks down what true high performance actually looks like.

Tune in to discover:

👉Why relentless work without recovery leads to burnout
👉How elite athletes balance training load and recovery
👉Why stress includes physical, mental, emotional, social, and environmental demands
👉How to manage your total “life load,” not just your workload
👉The difference between social connection and social disconnection
👉Why talent matters less than most people think
👉How trauma, imposter syndrome, and hidden roadblocks can affect confidence
