In this episode of Brothers of Purpose, we sit down with James Dean — co founder of the social network wellness club and a man who’s completely flipped the script on his life. From drink, drugs, and people-pleasing to purpose, discipline, and legacy — this one’s a masterclass in self-reinvention.

James opens up about the painful moments that cracked his ego, the grief of losing his dad, and the dark headspace he had to fight his way out of. We talk therapy, identity, fitness, community, breakups, burnout, and what it actually takes to rebuild when your old self is no longer an option.

He shares how running, routine, and raising money for charity became his new north star — including why he's taking on a 100km ultra marathon in memory of his dad. We also go deep on depression, accountability, and why journaling, brotherhood, and discomfort might be the real antidotes to self-destruction.

If you’re lost, stuck, or feeling like you were made for more — this episode will remind you it’s never too late to start again.

In this episode of the Brothers of Purpose Podcast, we sit down with Gaz Crosby — performance coach, bodybuilder, and founder of Formula Coaching.

Gaz opens up about what it really took to build his coaching brand from the ground up — with no handouts, no support, and no belief from those closest to him. From being told by his own dad that he'd "fall flat on his face" to becoming a go-to expert in bloodwork, biohacking, and body transformation, Gaz shares the raw truth behind his discipline, setbacks, and vision.

We unpack the mental cost of chasing potential when no one else can see it, the silent war between performance and self-destruction, and the identity shift needed to go from weekend benders to relentless graft. Gaz talks openly about addiction, why most people fail with fat loss, and the real reason motivation isn’t enough.

Whether you’re trying to reinvent yourself, start something from scratch, or block out the noise and double down on your future — this episode pulls no punches. It’s about mindset, resilience, and what happens when you stop waiting for support… and start building without it.

In this episode of the Brothers of Purpose Podcast, we sit down with Jack Waterson — personal trainer, mental health advocate, and driving force behind a powerful movement for suicide awareness.

Jack opens up about the devastating loss of his mum to suicide, sharing the raw truth of what it’s like to have your entire world flipped upside down overnight. In a deeply honest conversation, he talks about grief, the moment reality hit, and how he made a pact with his dad and brother to rise — not spiral.

We explore how Jack rebuilt his life piece by piece, the role community and movement played in his healing, and why he’s now on a mission to raise funds and awareness for 'If U Care Share'. From training clients while grieving to preparing for the brutal Goggins 4x4x48 challenge, Jack embodies what it means to move through pain with purpose.

Whether you’re navigating loss, looking to support someone who is, or trying to make sense of your own internal battles — this episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t about moving on. It’s about moving up.
