The boys, joined by Philly again, talk about how good it is to have a training partner and train with a squad. Pretty unsurprising given a lot of us grow up in team sports environments, that we enjoy having mates around for our efforts outside of sport as well. Because life's better with friends, and it turns out training is too. Appreciate you all listening, and don't forget to leave us a review.

But you can't fake in person, and in person connections. Fin talks about starting C&H closely after our good friends Bryn & Chey started NARC, looking up to them and their social growth, and the key to their fast growth in person and IRL: in person events. Having regular catchups let their community to connect even deeper with them, their brand, and other people in that community.

The boys chat about something they believe very strongly in: tell the boys you love them. The origins of C&H comes up, and Fin talks about the superficial + deeper levels of it but emphasises that actually the superficial reasons should be enough to get behind - we hope no-one has to go through the hard stuff to have those realisations set in. Tell the boys you love em this week - or at the very worst, give em a compliment.

How good, rep 3. Cheers to that. In this rep, the lads talk about the underrated move of always bringing extras — whether it’s spare gels on a long run like Cam's doing at the moment or just thinking ahead so others don’t have to. It’s not about expecting anything back — it’s about showing up, being generous, and making moments smoother for everyone around you. Just because you can.Don’t be transactional.

Cheeeeeers. Good to have you here with us again. In this rep, the lads chat about a simple but elite social hack — keeping a notes app on your phone with everyone’s coffee order in it. Bit of a nice touch for making remembering those things a little easier.

Welcome. Good to have you here with us. In this first rep, we’re talking about the idea of doing 100 reps — showing up, getting better, and zooming out from that early fear of failing or not being good yet. We reckon it’s one of the best frameworks for growth.This rep, the lads (Fin Barnett & Cambell Te Paa) chat through the 100 rep mindset — what it means to take the long view, build momentum, and stop letting early results decide if something’s worth it. Real examples from their own lives (YouTube, old projects, and now this podcast), and why they’re keen to get to 100 reps here too.Appreciate you all listening, and don't forget to leave us a review.
