Season 1, Episode 20: Bryce Ruthven
Dare we risk doing an Episode 20 in 2020? Our chat with Bryce was certainly smoother than this year to date, but also eventful. The boxes in the corner. When we move to a new house, it's not a home until we've fully unpacked; even that box full of shit that we don't quite know what to do with…

Season 1, Episode 19: Ryan Maidorn
In a world where you could be anything, be a good human. Gen Z have the world (and the history there of) on the screen in their pocket. They are entrepreneurial, and near impossible to market to. They value experience, yet display the financial maturity & ambition of pre millennial generations....

Season 1, Episode 18: Bailey Ireland
Summum bonum. Amor fati. Memento mori. Do the ultimate good. Love fate. Remember death . Many men in 30's, 40's and beyond, turn to stoicism as a path to a more fulfilling interaction with life. Do what you should, when you should; accept that you don't control the outcome; know that you are...

Season 1, Episode 17: Mitch van Ekeren
Where to begin - this one's a ride; a ride there and back. Not so much a roller coaster ride, but a dusty 460km slog across the Northern Territory dessert on a squealing 2-stoke motocross bike kind of ride. The stifling heat, the choking dust, the fatiguing vibrations, the ear ringing roar of...

Season 1, Episode 16: Jeremy Joiner
It always feels disingenuous writing a blurb that's near clickbait when you're trying to encourage people to listen to the bloke next door tell his story; so we won't, but that doesn't mean there aren't interesting headlines around this man, simply that the man is more interesting than the...

Season 1, Episode 15: Jason Crisp
2020 has been a rollercoaster. This past summer's 'fires of the century' which raged across eastern and southern Australia already feel some years ago. As a former timber industry worker and a man with a couple of degrees and a PhD around marine biology and the effect of climate change on...

Simple really, through modelling the same ethos...

Season 1, Episode 13: Colin Ross
When you meet a bloke who has a gorgeous family of 5, an elegant double story house, is the GM of a rapidly growing company, and plays weekly at one of Australia's top golf courses, you assume you're looking at someone who has taken a fairly consistent path through life. However, while Colin…

Season 1, Episode 12: Colin Lillie

Season 1, Episode 11: Michael Claydon
This one’s heavy fam – strap in. Christopher Browning’s Ordinary Men tells the true story of the Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Police Order and their role in Poland in the early 1940’s. It’s a damning encapsulation of what atrocities can become justifiable to reasonable men, when the...

“My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it” ― Clarence Budington Kelland Consistently within the first 10 questions a mental health professional will ask a man at a crossroad in life, is 'So tell me about your relationship with your father.' It is a key principle…

Season 1, Episode 8: Jordan Sandeman
The iceberg principle - we've all seen the classic motivation meme with an above and belief surface view of an iceberg. The exposed tip will have fame, fortune, wealth etc. with the submerged component shown to represent sacrifice, repeated failure, burnt money, insane work hours, and so forth.…

Season 1, Episode 7: Lachlan Floyd
It's a cliched phrase in psychology, but 'the masks we wear' is a mechanic true of us all, and Lachlan Floyd certainly has had to be many men to many audiences. From suffering crippling anxiety attacks through his teens, to being an apparent extrovert and running his own company in his early…

Season 1, Episode 5: Jamie Hall
It’s hard to know where to start in writing a blurb for episode 5, but as a theme that may be true to many men, our interview with Jamie Hall gave us the impression that: He can comfortably experience empathy for others far more easily than he can for himself, and he's worked out that it hasn't...
-
Season 1, Episode 4: Daniel Njegich
Close to 2 metres tall, covered in tattoos, and enough hair to intimidate Costa Georgiadis, Daniel Njegich doesn't scream introvert, but he is; and we talked for 2 hours without skipping a beat. Misassociations with social anxiety or shyness leave many thinking an introvert is someone who is...
