It's my first solo podcast in a while. I think it's time I did one and did it for my 60th episode. I want to celebrate the past year and a half and the journey that I have been on. All of this happens for a reason and I am grateful for you listeners for witnessing it all.

I had the honour of sitting down with founder of clothing brand L2TL Salvation Mumu. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this man and I have been told that he is very “down to earth”. Salvation definitely fits that description. We discuss his journey of starting a clothing brand and breaking the typical cycle of exchanging your body and time for wealth.

I love talking about mental health. It is never going ever to be black or white. As humans, we are all wired differently. Holly can vouch for this, she works with children as a school counselor and also worked with adults previously. We all experience the same thing but we also don’t. We talk about dating, screen time, seeking dopamine, and being present.

I always wanted to sit down with Olivia to talk about the industry we both work in. Starting off just following each other on IG, I realized how much knowledge she bring to the table espec,ially for women. So obviously I had to invite her We need to understand what discomfort means. Many people have a misconception about discomfort. Sometimes we choose the easier discomfort, but it may not benefit our well-being as much as challenging ourselves, like running our first 5k.

This was long overdue. Jed is a familiar face of the podcast and I’ve been wanting to sit with him 1:1 for a long time. The timing just wasn’t there until I had one of my guests cancel on me. Jed and I were in the same room when that guest canceled on me so I thought, perfect timing. What a conversation we had about having leaders in your life and being one yourself. We believe that we’re all leaders of our lives even if you see yourself as a number 2,3, or even 4.

If you ever want to think about being creative, listen to this conversation. We are living in a time where everyone wants to create content.

This episode taught me a lot about how to look at life differently. I have sat down with a couple of guests that have this mentality and they all share something in common. Patience and a positive outlook on life. Meet Nick, started off as a guy that does not speak very much in the gym to somebody that is very welcoming and that speaks with everyone. Follow Nick here: https://www.instagram.com/nick_barragu/ Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/avgjoeradio/

The delayed 12 month podcast anniversary episode. I recorded one in Bali but it didn't feel too authentic so I completely scrapped it. I came home from the city at midnight and decided to record this after a night out with some friends. This is where I am right now and I have this podcast to thank along with all the guests that have come onboard. Follow us https://www.instagram.com/avgjoeradio/

When it comes to connecting with people it seems that 'vibing' and sharing the same energy with the people you interact with is what is key to building STRONG relationships. A relationship can be seen as strong if the duration is long but what about the quality of the connection? Jed, Vince, and I had a great conversation in our car ride on the way to the Blue Mountains for a hike and we thought why are we not recording this right now? So I said stuff it, let's do one anyway. We talk about things on progressing in the gym, how are hiking trails made, and the importance of vibin' with the people around you. What an honor to do this on the 30th episode.

This is one of my top podcasts to date. Meet Gumi, the guy that "had it all" at one point and now is pressing restart on his life. He opens up on his journey to being one of the most extroverted people around. He tells us how he became a model for one of the biggest fashion shows in Australia, to learn how to open up to his boys. He expresses his belief in how motivational speakers are not realistic and that all humans are on their own journeys.

It is a privilege to sit in the same room as these 3 ladies. I often share the gym floor with them but I found it really fun having a conversation with them about things we don't really talk about in the weight room. Yoong, Holly, and Aeva share a common passion for lifting heavy weights and competing in powerlifting. We talk things about women and lifting heavy weights and loving the journey to better health in the "unconventional" way of lifting big weights. We discuss the change in women's sports and life in our mid-20s as well which I really enjoyed getting 3 perspectives on.

Well, this was spontaneous. Nic and I spent a good amount of time learning about our relationship. Late last year, Nicole told me that she wanted to go to Bali for 3 months. This was hard to swallow but she and I managed to work through this processing period and here we are now. Don't get me wrong, this was hard to go through with the opening of the 2nd X Gym. But since then, I'm feeling better than ever. Follow Nicole here: https://www.instagram.com/_nicolaaay/ Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/avgjoeradio/

I came home from a long day of work and I can finally put thoughts into words for this episode. Completely spontaneous and I want to practice this a lot more for the podcast. Here is how I breakdown backing yourself on whatever it is you're going through. We're all going through something these days and sometimes the biggest support you seek is the support from yourself follow us on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avgjoeradio/

The first time I saw Kevin was on stage at an event presenting his knowledge on NFTs and cryptocurrency. I told myself, wow it'd be nice to spend some time with this guy. Reason was that the way he presented himself on stage gave me the sense that he lives life a certain way. The guy with many businesses to his name, Kev talks about his passion for building businesses from scratch from the age of 7. From selling drawings to touring with Jessica Mauboy, to starting an eco-resort business in Thailand. He knows how to take his limits to the next level.

There is this quote that keeps Boagsy going on with his life. As someone that suffers from depression and ADHD, he really does keep it together and does it with class. I've been training with Boagsy for almost 4 years and I have never known that he has depression. But how does he do it?

What even is peace of mind? Everyone is going through something right now. We are all at a point in our lives where we can get easily overwhelmed by what everyone else is doing.

Bia and I go way back when I used to be a dancer. What amazes me about this girl is that she always goes with her gut feeling. If she has a hunch, she will follow it and go with the flow.
