Extra Sauce | Ep. 37 | Don't Get Bored of The Basics
Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope you've all had a nice start to your week and had a great weekend. It's been a bloody busy past few days for me filled with footy, footy and more footy. Very lucky for what I get to do and it has brought upon so many wonderful opportunities. One of those opportunities was getting to connect with someone from the AFL world in the development space and I heard something from this person that just resonated me with and is something that can apply to all of us. "Don't get bored of the basics" We are all capable of achieving great things but we all want it to happen so fast and generally, what seperates the best from the rest, is that fact that the greats don't get bored of the basics. They do the little things time and time again and fall in love with the process, no matter how long it takes. So I just wanted to share that chunk of gold with you all and hope it can help you in your pursuit of greatness in whatever walk of life you're from. Thank you always for tuning in, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a great week and please be sure to check in on your loved ones and mates and I'll catch you again next week for another episode of Extra Sauce.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 36 | Onya Brus!
Happy Monday, I hope you all had a nice weekend and are taking it easy at work today or are just relaxing if you have the day off. Another shoutout this week to someone who has excelled on the sporting field this past weekend. My brother Johann, or "Yoey", as he is more commonly known, has had a successful time on the footy field at the SA Country Footy Champs down in Victor Harbour representing the Eyre Peninsula. He has had a bloody good footy career and at the ripe old age of 33, he was the leading goal kicker for the carnival and has been named in the team of the carnival as well. Hopefully you have earnt another selection to the SA Country State Team after your efforts. Really proud of you brus, keep on doing what you're doing and making those around you better and fingers crossed we get to see you on Adelaide Oval again in a couple weeks!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your day is going well so far and I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Howdy everyone, I hope you're all having a nice Monday and I hope you all had a great weekend. It's been a couple weeks since I picked up the mic, I've been a bit under the weather, missed some work and footy so apologies for my absence. A nice little recap episode today of what I have been up to the past couple of weeks. An AFL debut, nearly making my own footy comeback and also attended a significant event in Port Augusta to watch a great mate share his powerful story.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 33 | Men's Mental Health Week
Mental health has been a common topic on this podcast. Guests have opened up about their struggles and I've shared some stories and strategies regarding my mental health on many of these weekly episodes. This week's episode is no different as it's Men's Mental Health Week. Whilst these weeks are excellent in shining a light on the facts and figures, they mean next to fuck all if we don't take action and actually check in on our mates and loved ones. So, this week, I challenge you to be the change. Go and catch up with a mate. Have a coffee, kick the footy and actually have a meaningful yarn with someone you care about. You never know, you may just save a life. As always, if conversation's surrounding mental health and suicide bring up difficult feelings for you, please make use of the relevant support hotlines available in Australia. Take it easy everyone!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 32 | No Vacancy
G'day everyone, I hope you have been well! Sorry for my recent absence but life has been busy lately. Just a quick episode to let you all know I am pausing the guest episodes until the end of the footy season. It's a hectic time at the moment and I want to channel my energy into coaching and relieve some of the mental load that the guest episodes have had on me recently. Extra Sauce will be the constant in the meantime and I will also aim to have chats with the odd person on the weekly episodes to mix things up. So, I hope you are keen to stick by me and tune in each week and await the return of guest episodes later in 2024!.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 31 | Help Your Mates
Good morning everyone, apologies for my absence of late on your Monday mornings but I'm back with another episode of Extra Sauce. A pretty real chat today on my drive to work where I do a lot of my thinking. We are in a mental health crisis in this country. Recent statistics show that 8 Australians die by suicide every day, 75% of those are men. So by the end of today, by the time you listened to this episode, someone has potentially taken their life. We likely all know of someone who has taken their life and the massive impact this has on their loved ones. The politician's won't help us. The change we want starts with us. We must take this seriously and start having real, meaningful conversations with each other about how we are feeling. If we don't do this, then the stats stay the same. We have to help our mates, we have to do it for those who have left us and for the future generations as well. Otherwise, more of us will die. If you need support, reach out to a mate and on the flipside, if you know if someone who is likely struggling, hit them up for a chat. And don't forget to reach out to the relevant support hotlines that we have in Australia as they can provide support at all hours. Also, if this episode brings up some bad thoughts, please reach out to your support network to talk about it. Please, check-in on someone today and take it easy.

Damn it's good to be back on the tools and sitting down chatting with awesome people again. And what a guest to kick us off after the break! A young lad who is just having a red hot crack in life, Jack Banwell is someone to look up to. An honest and humble upbringing which has seen him look to give more than what he takes from life. That is well and truly on display as Jack prepares for a huge challenge which is just week's away where he is aiming to raise money for poverty stricken communities overseas in Bali when he takes part in the Bali Hope Ultra. If you would love to get behind Jack and make a donation to help him reach his target, please check out the link below!

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend and are getting through the day nicely!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 28 | The Culture Code
Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are all having a nice morning and had a nice weekend as well! We had Gather Round here in Adelaide and wow, what an event! Such an awesome vibe and I honestly think that it's the best sporting event in the country. If you're tossing up whether you should come to Gather Round in 2025, just do it. You won't be disappointed! On to today's episode, I've been reading a wonderful book recently called The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle. This is an excellent read if you're a sports coach or a leader in your work. It touches on how to create a sense of belonging for those you coach or lead and has real world examples as it delves into organisations such as the San Antonio Spurs, Google and Pixar I highly recommend this book if you're wanting to improve as a coach or leader. I'll drop the link to where you can purchase. If you give it read, would love to hear your thoughts and some of the key takeaways that you found. So drop me a message if you read it!

Straight to The Sauce | Tools Down
I'm tired. Exhausted. Mentally, I've been struggling these past few weeks. And after some self-reflection over the past 48-hours, I've decided to take a break.

I'll be back better than ever in 6 weeks with a new guest episode on Thursday, 2 May. So until then, be sure to check in on your mates and loved ones and take it easy.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 26 | Keep Showing Up
Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend and are having a great start to your week. In this weeks episode of Extra Sauce, which was another one done on the road, I chat about how it's good to set lofty goals but it is also really important to be proud of the fact you keep showing up. It's not possible to be at your best every day, so don't get down on yourself when you have an off day and instead, celebrate all the small wins you achieved and the fact you showed up. Keep showing up. Celebrate the small wins and that big win will naturally come your way sooner than you think. Have a great week!

Straight to The Sauce | Ep. 19 | Daniel Kwaterski
Guest episode number 19 is here and it's one I've been trying to get done since September last year, so I'm pumped to have finally sat down with Daniel Kwaterski for this episode! Daniel is just your typical aussie guy that is from the country. He was always the life of the party. Having a good time, making everyone laugh and always smiling. However, that was all a mask. Underneath that, Daniel was struggling with significant mental health battles and it got to a point where he thought he could no longer be on this earth. If weren't for the words of a friend which led him to seeking professional health, Daniel's story may have gone untold. Since working through his personal struggles, Daniel has been a shining light in the community, helping to raise awareness for mental health and also raising close to $20k for Mindfull Aus in 2023. Daniel did this by completing the Pichi Richi Marathon, and then continuing to run an extra 58km's to crack the 100km mark! Daniel is a seriously good human who has been through some extremely challenging times and he is someone we should all look to for inspiration. Please listen to this chat, share it around to spread awareness and let's all start opening up to each other and having meaningful conversations. Cheers, Sauce xx Please be mindful, the topics discussed in this episode can be triggering for some and if you need to chat with someone, please reach out to your support network or contact the available hotlines in Australia such as Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a nice weekend and are having a nice start to your week so far. For this week's episode of Extra Sauce, I took the show on the road and headed into PEAQ Performance in Port Adelaide with my boi Jed Banwell.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 21 | Fun is Fun
Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had an awesome weekend! I had a productive weekend which involved putting together some clips for Instagram and TikTok, which I haven't done in a while.

As we get older and become adults, we can forget that it's okay to have a laugh and just have fun. So this episode is a gentle reminder to find the fun in life and have a smile on ya face!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 18 | Saucey's Reading Challenge
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you've been having a nice Monday and hope you all had a great weekend. On this weeks episode of Extra Sauce, I talk about recently finishing Nedd Brockmann's book, Showing Up, and how bloody inspiring it was and how it nearly brought me to tears at the end. If ya are yet to read his book, go buy it today. It is seriously good. But the reason I read so much on the weekend is because I have set a goal of reading 15+ books in 2024. Call it, Saucey's Reading Challenge. Aiming to read at least one book a month to learn new things, read for fun but also in an effort to reduce my screen time in the mornings and night. So if ya keen to take on the challenge with me, jump on board, put the phone away and start turning the pages!

G'day everyone, happy Monday and welcome to another instalment of Extra Sauce! I hope you all managed to escape the heat this weekend and enjoyed yourself.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 16 | Goals for 2024!
Hey everyone, Sauce here with another episode of Extra Sauce. Finally sat down and wrote out some goals for 2024 so that I've got some direction for the year ahead! I set goals within the four main pillars that I always do, and they are: - Physical Health - Mental Health - Knowledge & Learning - Personal Endeavour I find if I aim achieving goals within these four pillars, then I am generally in a great state of mind which that then flows into all other walks of life such as my career, relationships and footy. I highly recommend that you take some time to sit down and reflect on 2023, think about what went well and what could have been better, and then write out some goals that you want to work towards in 2024. As always, my DM's are always open so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to help. Have a great day everyone!

Straight to The Sauce | Ep. 14 | Jack Symes
Welcome to the last episode of Straight to The Sauce for 2023. I am really happy I got to sit down and chat with such an awesome person for this one! Jack Symes lives in regional Victoria and has lived a few lives in his short 28 years. He has served in the Australian Defence Force, won a couple of footy grand finals, ran 100km's to raise money for Mindfull Aus and along the way he has dealt with his own mental health struggles as well experienced the loss of his best mate from suicide. Jack talks openly about all of this, he really leads by example in this space, and I am so grateful he gave up some of this time in his busy schedule to come on the pod. Now I understand that talking about suicide and mental health can be confronting for some, and if you need to talk about it then please reach out to the relevant support lines in Australia such as Lifeline. However, Jack and I believe it is extremely important that we have these difficult conversations with those around us so that we can be the change we want to see in society. We have to start talking. We must start talking. I hope you all enjoy this episode and can take something away from it. All I ask is that you please share this episode to your socials, tag Mindfull Aus as well, so that we can spread the word and begin to help one another. Please also give Mindfull Aus a follow on the socials, their insta handle is linked below! Have a great New Years everyone, check in on your mates and loved ones, have fun but most importantly, be safe. Catchya in 2024!

Straight to The Sauce | Ep. 13 | Kiahni Russell
Here we are with episode number 13! Really loved sitting down with Kiahni Russell for this ep, she has plenty of energy and speaks really well for someone so young. Tune in to hear about Kiahni's upbringing, love for farm life and her decision to switch to SEDA College for Yr 11 and 12 and how that has given her a new found confidence and also set her up for success in life. "K-Dog" is also a talented footy player, she's played country A Grade footy, Association Footy, been apart of Port Adelaide's Next Gen Academy, so we speak a lot about footy and you'll hear about the significant change she has made in the lead up to the 2024 SANFLW season. Really proud of you Kiahni, you were a great student for me to mentor and now you're the one teaching me a few lessons on how to approach life and I'm sure many others will follow the wise advice that you give out in this episode as well! Enjoy the chat everyone, and be sure to share it around!

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend and managed to stay dry here in SA! I put the toes up on the couch all weekend long, which was bloody nice, and capped the weekend off with a glass of red, from First Drop Wines, and a roast! In this ep I'll share my experience from last Friday, getting out of my comfort zone with my mate Walshy, at Strong Pilates in Port Adelaide! Never done pilates before and this was another level of fitness. Highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for something new to do and challenge yourself, as the space is awesome and the trainers are all absolutely fantastic and super supportive! I'll be heading back again in the new year to get a couple more sessions in. At the very least, give them a follow (insta page is below) and check out what they do!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 11 | Run Club Second Edition + On The Sauce
You know when you go to the bakery and get a meat pie and ask for sauce, and they give you two sauce packets instead of one?? Well, think of this extra episode of Extra Sauce as being the same as that. It's just a massive bonus!... Okay, that's me trying to be positive after I fucked up this week and mismanaged my time and had to postpone the guest episode. But please, enjoy this episode where I talk about the upcoming Run Club at Henley Beach and also shed some light on the new episode concept called "On The Sauce". That is something that I am really excited about!! Have a great Thursday guys and I'll catch you real soon with the next guest episode which will come out this Monday!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 10 | It's Okay To Ask For Help
I hope you're all having a nice Monday and apologies for the delayed episode everyone! "Don't be scared to ask for help", that's what my most recent guest, Logan Evans, said on the pod and it inspired me to do exactly that. In this weeks Extra Sauce, I briefly touch on how I went to my GP and asked for some help in dealing with a recent traumatic event and I thought I should share this with you all to show some vulnerability and hopefully help others do the same. Please have a listen, and remember, it is okay to ask for help!

Holy hell have I had a few unreal days! Seriously impressed and proud of a couple of things I've achieved by just getting the fuck out of my comfort zone and havin' a crack!

Really excited to sit down and chat with young gun, Logan Evans, for Episode 11 of the pod. Logan has just completed Year 12 at SEDA College SA and will hopefully have his dream of becoming an AFL footballer become a reality in the coming days at the 2023 National Draft. A talented footballer for Norwood FC in the SANFL, Logan has faced plenty of challenges in life but this has shaped him into the kind, caring, humble and hardworking young man he is today. I'm really proud of Logan's eagerness to come on the pod and chat about life and footy, so please, have a listen and throw your support behind this impressive young man as we wish him all the best next week in the draft and for the future!

No better way to start your week than listening to Extra Sauce and this week I speak about the importance of having really strong values in life.

Something I'm super keen for and I'll hopefully have some more news for you in the coming weeks. So stay tuned to socials and Extra Sauce!! Have a wicked week everyone!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 05 | How To Ask A Mate How They're Goin'
Hey everyone, apologies for another late episode of Extra Sauce and apologies also for my croaky voice in this one! Recently some amazing mates of mine, Lloyd, Butch and Tyson, wanted to catch up for breakfast and check in with me after I had a hectic week. Really grateful for them reaching out and supporting me, and this catchup prompted me to use this week episode of Extra Sauce to discuss some strategies on how to start the conversation around mental health. So please, have a listen, share the episode and hopefully this can help you, and others, start a open and honest conversation with a mate or loved one.

Straight to The Sauce | Ep. 09 | Bailey Turner
Episode 9 is here and in this one I sat down with my great mate, Bailey Turner, who is a young lad who has grown up in the country, a dual citizen of the Eyre Peninsula and the Yorke Peninsula. In this chat there are plenty of laughs but Bailey also openly speaks about the passing of a loved one through suicide and how that has had an impact on his mental health. Coming from a rural area where the mantra, especially for males, is usually “I’ll be right” and “just get on with the job”, Bailey casts that stigma aside as he gets extremely raw in this chat and talks about his experience of when he tried to seek professional help. This was one of the toughest chats I’ve had in my life, Bailey showed so much vulnerability and rawness. I only hope I handled the moment with respect and made him feel comfortable. Please have a listen and be sure to share with anyone you feel may benefit from hearing Bailey's story. And if you need any help or support, then be sure to reach out to your support network or the relevant support hotlines in Australia such as Lifeline and Beyond Blue. I've listed their numbers below in case you need them.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 04 | Screen Time & How To Unplug
Excess screen time can be extremely detrimental to our mental and physical health. We are the most connected society in history but at the same time, we are the most disconnected as well. This week I have wasted so much time scrolling on TikTok, Insta and Twitter. It's so easy to just put the feet up on the couch and think "ah just 10 minutes on TikTok won't hurt"... next thing ya know it's been two hours, ya eyes are cooked and you're watching videos about how to survive in the jungle with nothing but a toothpick and a sponge. So if you regularly find yourself glued to your phone or laptop, then have a listen to hear some little tips that I try to implement to reduce my screen time and work to improve my overall health and wellbeing.

Extra Sauce | Ep. 03 | Breathing Through Turbulence
In this weeks episode of Extra Sauce, I chat about a little strategy I implement in order to manage stressful situations and moments. After a recent flight to Melbourne where things got a bit too bumpy, I reverted too some simple breath work to help calm me down and get me through the turbulence! And the breathing technique I mention, picked up recently from Dyl Buckley's Book Honest Chat, may not work for everyone but is absolutely worth trying out. It certainly helped me this past week! Have a great week guys and I'll be back next week with Extra Sauce and another guest episode!

Wow, what a fantastic guest I have for episode 8! Monique Moukachar has been a massive driving force behind the pod with her amazing graphics and artwork through her business, Inked Eclipse, that has made the show look absolutely wonderful. Monique is someone I have been lucky to know for the past few years and I was so proud of her when she asked to sit down to record this ep during Dyslexia Awareness Week. She talks in depth about her life and how she faced the challenges of living with dyslexia and how it made her school life difficult and how those struggles carry through into her work life today. Really impressed with Monique showing such vulnerability with this, so please make sure you have a listen to this one and be sure to share with your loved ones!

Extra Sauce | Ep. 02 | Goal Setting & Goodbye Winter Blues
Apologies for the late drop of Extra Sauce this week but I was absolutely buggered after a busy weekend! This week I talk about how I keep my mental health in check by setting some weekly goals. I discuss how this helps me with keeping physically and mentally stimulated and offer some suggestions on how you can get started with something similar. This won't work for everyone but is definitely worth giving a crack for a couple of weeks. Worst case scenario is you'll be able to look back and see that you've accomplished some great things and feel good about yourself, and that's a win! If you have any great little strategies that you implement in your life to help with your mental health, then reach out and let me know and I can share them to the listeners in future episodes.
