  • Episode 24 - Daniel Scali
    2022/02/15

    In this episode I sit down with Daniel Scali. After a fall from a trampoline at a young age, Daniel was diagnosed with having CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). This meant that any slight touch of the skin on his left arm would leave him with extreme pain. After a tough childhood Daniel decided he was going to use the pain as motivation which lead him to joining the gym. In August 2021 Daniel broke the Guiness world record for abdominal plank with a mind blowing time of 9 hours and 30 minutes. Daniel is an extremely positive and motivating guy and now has his sights set on breaking the Guiness World Record for most push ups completed within 24 hours.

  • Episode 21 - David Lloyd
    2021/10/11

    In this short episode I discuss how I've been feeling very unmotivated. Sometimes in life we can hit a plateau and it's up to you to change when you want to change it. Something as small as a positive compliment or some uplifting news is enough to start getting back on track and to keep trying to be the best version of you. I also discuss how toxic social media can be and why it's a refreshing break to keep off it if you are struggling to keep motivated.

  • Episode 20 - Josh McGuire
    2021/09/29

    In episode 20 I sit down with Josh McGuire. Josh is currently playing for the St. George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL. With over 200 games under his belt he has gone through a fair few injuries but none bigger than in 2011 when his team mate accidentally poked him in the eye completing a tackle. His eye ball was completely detached from his retina and he is now officially blind in one eye. Despite the huge set back, Josh was determined to still play rugby league. He has since gone on to play over 200 games for 3 clubs, win multiple state of origin series and win the world cup for Australia in 2017. We also chat about the lesser known details behind the fame with online abuse, death threats and his mental health challenges leading him to delete social media in 2018. I had a great time to be able to sit down with a professional athlete and dig a little bit into his personal life. It's a great reminder that professional athletes are human just like the rest of us.

  • Episode 19 - Maddie Mortimer
    2021/09/23

    After experiencing a childhood trauma, Maddie's active life was subsequently turned on it's head. For most of her teenage years Maddie suffered from anorexia nervosa, an eating disorders which affects 4% of the Australian population. Maddie spent the majority of her teenage life in hospital where she would find ways to sabotage ways for the doctors and staff to help her. Along her battle she developed very strict rituals with her eating habits including eating at a certain time, each piece of food had to be chewed a minimum of 20 times and she would not allow herself to eat during ad breaks. This was a real eye opening conversation to have as I believe there is very little education on how to talk or support someone with an eating disorder. Maddie now lives in Goondiwindi with her husband and is a dedicated personal trainer for those living with a disability.
