Project 98.9
by Leigh Stafford
What happens when a successful man makes the one goal he keeps avoiding public? PROJECT 98.9 is a 36-week documentary in real time following Leigh Stafford as he works towards 98.9kg. But the weight is only the scoreboard. The real story is the gap between knowing what to do and actually showing up, especially when life, work, family, old patterns and the voice negotiating for comfort all push back. Each week, Leigh sits down with co-host Sharkie, the witness willing to challenge the easy story and ask the uncomfortable questions. Their conversations draw on daily check-ins, honest journals and the week as it really happened: the wins, the misses, the red days, the yellow days and the moments Leigh wants to quit. This is not a fitness program, a meal-plan pitch or polished before-and-after theatre. It is an unfolding story about accountability, avoidance, identity and what it takes to become the man who keeps showing up. Will Leigh reach 98.9kg? That is not t

ABOUT THIS SHOW
What happens when a successful man makes the one goal he keeps avoiding public?
PROJECT 98.9 is a 36-week documentary in real time following Leigh Stafford as he works towards 98.9kg. But the weight is only the scoreboard. The real story is the gap between knowing what to do and actually showing up, especially when life, work, family, old patterns and the voice negotiating for comfort all push back.
Each week, Leigh sits down with co-host Sharkie, the witness willing to challenge the easy story and ask the uncomfortable questions. Their conversations draw on daily check-ins, honest journals and the week as it really happened: the wins, the misses, the red days, the yellow days and the moments Leigh wants to quit.
This is not a fitness program, a meal-plan pitch or polished before-and-after theatre. It is an unfolding story about accountability, avoidance, identity and what it takes to become the man who keeps showing up.
