Jamie Small and co-host George Azzi sit down with Massoud — 43, Afghan-Australian, former security veteran of 19 years, two-time natural bodybuilder and multi-sport athlete living with Parkinson’s for 14 years.From the Housing Commission in Hornsby to the doors of Sydney’s clubs and pubs, Massoud opens up about the early signs, the “why me” moments, the daily battle with dyskinesia, insomnia and freezing, and how he still shows up — lighter weights, higher reps, farmer’s walks, boxing, BJJ and full circuit sessions — even on the days he can barely walk.He talks mindset, cutting negative people, living with his parents, his daughter, the pump, the pouch, the Michael J. Fox Foundation dream, and why every day is still a blessing. Real talk, zero excuses, pure soldier-on energy.Those Ones Underwear - https://www.thoseones.com.au/World Gym - https://www.worldgym.com.au/gyms/macquarie-parkThe Grey - https://www.thegrey.au/Recorded and produced at The Grey Creative Caringbah.
