Finally, dropping this doozy as episode with the uso Albie Roebeck whom is also related to my wife! Mean as chat with the brother about all the areas of life that lifts him up - Navy, Boxing, Family.

We have a good talk about his early life and some of the challenges he faced; alcohol, ego, fighting  and how he was able to rediscover himself by discovering a passion and pursuing it.

Albie is also a beast too, a few years ago he spent 60 hrs punching a boxing bag to raise awareness about mental health, tick done and he has continued to pursue physical challenges for himself, for others and to keep his mind and spirit focused and tuned in. He will be competing a Muriwai beach run with a ruck pack...it's only 50km long!

He also has a massive heart for others and talks about the work he does with troubled young people. He unashamedly addresses his own mental demons too.

He doesn't hide who he is and he lifts many people up too. He represents the essence of the corner man that you want backing you up without hesitation - Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Peace & Love

Had a great catch up with the bro Corey Choat recently. This man has so much passion for what he does for so many people in our community. With the tragic lose of his sister in 2019, running has become a welcoming tool for him and it is also big factor in raising awareness around mental health and support, but also utilising it with his instagram page @runningforsal, to discuss being vulnerable and afraid to show your emotions. I

In 2022 on top of running daily, he completed a Speedo run up Mt Maunganui for @gumbootfriday and on the 10th December he ran for 607 minutes, 1 minute for every person lost to suicide. Emotionally and physically challenging for him, but his drive resulted in raising over $80,000 for Gumboot Friday!

2023 is upon us and Corey has more fun in store, but underpinning it is carrying on from 2022 and focus on mental health. He is creating a beautiful legacy for his sister.

Such a caring and thoughtful human, he has the wonderful support of his family and an unbreakable friendship with many. We are proud of what he does in memory of his sister Sally.

Peace & Love

What an absolute pleasure to sit down with Kyle Divine finally. I have been a huge fan of what he does on the DIY front for home gym owners for a longtime. His creativity and passion is evident, his woodwork skill and attention to detail is brilliant and the tutorial options he has on his Instagram and YouTube is excellent.

Kyle is a video creator, podcaster, woodworker and home gym enthusiast. He created Kaizen DIY Gym as an avenue to combine all of these interests into a single outlet and help others in the process. Through detailed video tutorials, written tutorials, and the "Do you even lift bro?" podcast (thanks bro for the bio lol) he has created a fantatstic community across the world, where he shares not only his own creations but also creations from many other skilled DIY enthusiasts. 

Thank you bro for jumping onboard and sharing where it all began and where it is heading.

Jump onto Kyle's platforms and pick up some amazing tips and hacks. 

Peace & Love all

Welcome back to season 4, EP114, chapter 2023.

We kick it off with Harry Sanders @philsmarathon an absolute weapon on the roads, clicking km's and miles over like a Ferrari on the autobahn! Harry shares his why and the journey he has embarked upon in raising funds for school kids via @back2schoolprojectnz that give kids the best start and opportunity to thrive. He also shares the pain of loss and how he discovered tools to work through those tough times.

Harry also shares wisdom beyond his years, as well as his next gig - Muriwai beach run! Which will take place in April/May. 

Follow Harry below on his insta and keep an eye on the Back 2 School Project. 

Peace & harmony

What started as a 30 day challenge on the 1st December 2021 to do the CrossFit workout Murph - 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 air squats, 1 mile run in a 20lb weighted vest - for myself to challenge my own mental fitness, mindset, personal challenges and to showcase Mental Health, Mental Health Awareness, quickly morphed into doing Murph for 365 days to champion the Mental Health conversation and to showcase the many amazing people that are doing so much to make life better for so many of us.

Welcome to the review, plenty of questions were asked and I have attempted to answer them with us much insight as possible. I hope you all get some positive take aways from this episode.

Huge thank you to Glen, Tamati, Rob, Joe, Zane, Justin, Ryan, Tomo, JMV, Jack, Corey, Maima, Bec, Joel, Jason, Wetta and the hundreds more that supported this voyage...and too my amazing wife and our daughters your love and encourage has been phenomenal.

Peace and Goodness 

Catching up with Zane Munro is such a wicked experience, he has so much passion and drive to break the stigma surrounding mental health, but especially breaking the the cone of silence that surrounds men in this space. Allowing yourself to not be judged, to be vulnerable, to maintain dignity and to let yourself lean into others for support. Nobody is left behind, nobody is alone. Zane lives by these values.

Zane is the curator behind ForAllTheBrothers and the Host of Brain Chat which is supported by Ārepa. He provides a platform where men can come together and share their "pits" and "peaks", engage with other people whom have or are in a similar space of change, create connections and friendships. Zane shared his vision around Brain Chat and the relationship he has with Ārepa and how they both compliment one another.

Zane always shows his appreciation for the many other legends out their doing fantastic work in Mental health, but he is undoubtably a major shining light in this space. Unselfishly giving back in a huge way to so many brothers, dads, mates, uncles, husbands, fathers, that have needed a vehicle like this to feel safe and to openly talk about themselves in an honest and organic way. 

Thank you Zane for sharing with us. Absolute pleasure watching you grow and the positive impact you are having on so many.

Another gem of a chat up with the brother Kane Brisco the curator behind FarmFit NZ, Farmer, Writer and Thinker, sharing his thoughts and insights on a few topics - mental health; lining up a 100 km run in gum boots; battling COVID; writing a book "Tools for the Top Paddock" and shifting farms while living and growing - all that everyday good-life stuff!

Always a pleasure having Kane on the pod, he is an absolute hissing geezer with plenty of tools in the kit to share with everyone on how to turn negatives into positives. He breaks down the reasons behind writing a book, the time and energy that he poured into and the how it actually all came about.

Kane also delivers where it counts by putting others first especially I AM HOPE and WILL TO LIVENZ, earlier in the year he committed to running 100km in gumboots to raise funds for them....the effort and commitment he applied is phenomenal. He is one of the many unsung hero's in our community doing good for others.

Appreciate you brother, for all you have done and do everyday.

"Tools for the Top Paddock" - is available at all book stores and online
