Zealous State of Mind Podcast with the Guru of Gainz

Really enjoyed catching up with Caleb to see how he's been during lock down and what are his plans going forward. 

Got to know Caleb a lot better as he talked about how he made his dream come in 2018 making his debut for Auckland and the All Blacks Sevens team in the same year at the ripe age of 18.

Here are some of the things we covered:

- Olympics dream with the All Blacks Sevens team. 

- What he needs to do to go to the next level in his career.

- 2 Speed Tips from his track & field sprinting experience.

- His self talk when things aren't going so well.

- Using his platform for good.

- Growing up as the son of a former All Black.

- Best advice his mum has given him.

 Listener Questions

- If it wasn't for Rugby, what would you have pursued in sports?

- Best advice you were given as a 17 year old?

Be sure to tune in and listen to nuggets of gold that this mature young man has to share!

Second session in lockdown with the distinctive athlete that is Marc Thomas.  Incredibly fortunate to get this opportunity to sit down and catch up about life, training and what sets him on the path to do what he has done. You don’t want to miss this one because he’s done it all.

While trying to get my head around life on lock-down and adapting the podcast I decided to check back in with a superstar closer to home.  Listen in as I catch up Isaiah talking about uncertainty, quarantine and lock-down staying ready for when life decides to resume after COVID-19.  Disclaimer: There is a bit of static sounds - its what happens on lock-down and personal grooming with the beard takes a backseat!

Since I can't get a guest in person at the moment, I thought it was a good time to do a solo podcast and catch everyone up on where I am at since leaving Zealous CrossFit and starting at Avondale College as a Teacher Aide. 

Also thought I would share some of my goals and tips during this period of lock down for everyone.  

Joseph Wilson - Life/Holistic Coach, Motivation Speaker, Author of the book OVERFLOW: The No B.S. Guide To The Abundant Life & Founder of FUSE LIFE. 

Joseph is one of the most passionate guys I've ever met and his energy is massively infectious. In the episode, I really enjoyed how reflective he was and how open and honest he was about his past and the things he learnt along the way. 

You wont find many guys like Joseph who lives with so much passion and purpose. He knows what he wants to do and is fully dedicated to teaching and helping people find their purpose, so that they can walk in the abundant life that Jesus promised for us all. 

This episode is full of nuggets of wisdom from Joseph. Be sure to listen in and have your note pad ready to take some notes!

You won't meet many people as dedicated or as passionate about basketball as you will with Aik Ho. From a young up and coming player who made a name for himself here in the golden era of basketball in New Zealand, to coaching high school teams for over a decade, while simultaneously coaching high performance athletes and New Zealand teams. He put in the work as an athlete and even more so now as a coach and development manager. With all that experience, this guy knows a thing or two about the game and the art of coaching. 

Listen in as he not only shares some great insights about basketball & coaching, but he also shares some of his background and journey to how he has gotten to where he is now and some of the key lessons he learnt along the way, including one of the skills he believes needs to taught alongside coaching. This one goes beyond basketball, so if you are into growth, development & going to the next level in your chosen craft, this episode is a must!
