#ZealousStateofMind

Was good catching up with my good friend who is doing great things in Singapore with his Mobilus Chinatown community.

Ambition is the first word when I think of Darren Khan (aka Debo) 

This young thoughtful man is not only impressive with his physical feats in Calisthenics but also in his drive to improve and grow many aspects of his life.

Listen in for some inspiring gems of insight from Darren who walks the walk and is on a mission with his goals and vision.

Was a blessing to catch up with two of my Gideonite⚔🛡 uso's at the Talavou Hub where George & Ken (Gavet), their team and volunteers work tirelessly to help youth athletes with their education, lifeskills, goals/dreams and mindset. These guys are doing great things through their Pacific Rugby League Development program and it was a pleasure to see and hear firsthand what they are up to🙏🏼 #ZealousStateofMind #WesWesNet #GuruofGainz #PacificRugbyLeagueDevelopment

Always a pleasure catching up with my good friend Ray. Even though I initially thought we were going to talk about everything to do with Weightlifting, we actually talked more about his background/upbringing in Tokoroa and dived deep into teaching, ADD, growth, entrepreneurship and more!

It was a pleasure to sit down and talk with the humble leader that is Mark Knight, especially since he doesn't usually do these type of things. 

Mark is the owner of Knight Fitness in Brisbane Australia and he has been running his gym for 7-8 years with great success.

We talk about his background before getting into business, his upbringing in Manurewa (South Auckland), entrepreneurship, growth, development, leadership and much more!

Be sure to tune in and check it out. I learnt a lot and I'm sure you will too! #ZealousStateofMind #GuruofGainz #WesWesNet #KnightFitness

Was cool to connect with Christian after hearing him on my mates podcast, The Thought Plantation Podcast and seeing some of the impressive things he is up to online. 

Becoming the first Polynesian Prime Minister of New Zealand is one of these things. No small feat to say the least but I think he can do it and is the right man for the job.

Christian is a very intelligent, thoughtful and vision focused man who wears many hats.

Most notably is his work as a professional musician, politician and businessman but Christian isn't limited to these things, he moves and adapts when or if needed.

Listen in for an insightful podcast with a man who is up to some big things and who I believe has the people's best interest at heart. #FreeTheLife #ZealousStateofMind 

"STRENGTH IS BUILT OVER TIME" - Afaese Paea

It was a pleasure connecting with and learning from Strongman/Strongwoman Coach & Athlete Afaese Paea.

Afa has experience in many fields such as chess, snooker, rugby union, kick-boxing, BJJ and Powerlifting but his main passion is in Strongman competition/training. Afa has many records in the sport already and is still looking for ways to improve and grow stronger.

Afa is a keen learner, open minded and applies techniques and skills from various sports and disciplines.

I really enjoyed this chat with the philosophical big man who has a massive heart for not only helping people achieve their athletics endeavours but also teaches great life lessons such as patience, honour, hard work and much more!

Tune in for a great conversation with one of the best Strongman/Strongwoman Coaches & Athletes to ever come out of New Zealand!

"Everything will be ok" - Alex Porter

Had a blast catching up with my good friend from the CrossFit days. 

Really enjoyed going deep and learning more about Alex and his journey, especially his new sport which he goes in-depth about how it works and why he got into it.

We covered many topics such as his early days as a teenager, how he got into martial arts, fitness and gym training before CrossFit and the famous competition that he, his former partner and CrossFit Auckland community used to run each year which brought in athletes from all over New Zealand because of it's quality and professionalism. We covered so much, yet there was so much more to go over. Definitely have to do it again sometime in the future!

Tune in for a fun and insightful chat with the one and only Alex Porter!.
