Ep 87: Turns Out, We're Just Normal Blokes

After a long summer away from the podcast we didn't really have a script for this one! So we just caught up. What started as a conversation about what we'd been doing over the summer quickly turned into something a bit bigger - family, training, coaching, business, ageing, community, being present and the strange pressure we all put on ourselves to constantly be doing more. We talk about building businesses while trying to actually spend time with our kids, why even coaches don't train perfectly all year round, the people we work with who continually remind us what humans are capable of and why some of the most meaningful moments this summer had absolutely nothing to do with PBs, body composition or performance metrics. There's also 90km running, questionable hotel gyms, fitness retreats, phone addiction, darkness retreats, AI, getting back to pen-and-paper coaching and a completely unplanned argument about whose clients would win in a team competition. Essentially, this is 3 coaches admitting that despite what social media might suggest, none of us have completely got our shit together. And maybe that's not such a bad thing. No big lesson. No 7-step framework. Just an honest conversation about training, work, family and trying to be a bit more present while we're actually living it.
