- 10 minutes 34 seconds10 Minutes of relationship advice you can't afford to ignore | #711
Drift is the silent relationship killer. One day you look up and realise you live with someone you love, but you haven’t really been learning them lately, and you’ve both changed more than you noticed. I’m reflecting on a milestone anniversary and what it’s taught me about staying connected, especially when life speeds up and responsibility gets heavy.
I break down five habits that keep a marriage growing instead of slowly splitting into two separate lives. We talk about staying curious as your partner evolves, asking better questions than “How are you?”, and figuring out what your relationship actually needs in this season, whether that’s new parent survival mode or a demanding work stretch. You’ll also hear a simple framework for “daily deposits”, the small 1% actions that build trust and make hard conversations easier, plus why the Five Love Languages can be a practical tool for feeling seen and valued.
Then we get specific about communication: saying what you need, listening properly, and checking in for real feedback so resentment doesn’t stack up. We also make a case for fun as a serious relationship strategy, using date nights, adventures, and shared novelty to cut through stress and reconnect. Finally, we talk about taking turns supporting each other’s ambitions so both people win over the long haul.
If you want grounded relationship advice, marriage tips, and better communication tools you can use today, hit play. Subscribe, share this with someone you care about, and leave a review with the one habit that keeps your relationship strong.Take the "Life Performance" Scorecard: HERE

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow28 October 2026, 10:00 am - 11 minutes 56 secondsThree Ways Social Media Can Help Men Grow | #710
Social media gets blamed for making men lonely, distracted, and insecure, but what if the real problem is how we use it and how little we say out loud? We start with a confronting stat from Australia: 43% of blokes say they don’t have any good friends. From there, we share a practical, no-fluff framework for turning social media into a tool for personal growth, stronger relationships, and better men’s mental health outcomes.
We walk through the first lever: documenting your journey. Not “building a brand” or pretending life is perfect, but telling the truth about what you’re working on, what you’re struggling with, and what you want to create. When you share clearly, the right people can find you, relate to you, and offer real help. That simple shift builds self-awareness and momentum, and it can pull you toward a life that actually fits your values.
Next we dig into building community, including how online connection can become real-world support through men’s circles, workshops, and friendships that match the season you’re in. Finally, we talk about using a platform to contribute, from mental fitness and confidence to fundraising and spotlighting causes like men’s suicide prevention and youth programs. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this gives you a clear next step you can take today.
If this resonates, subscribe for more, share it with a mate who needs it, and leave a review so more men can find the conversation. What’s one goal or struggle you’re ready to say out loud?Take the "Life Performance" Scorecard: HERE

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow14 October 2026, 12:00 am - 12 minutes 57 secondsHow to Find the One Problem That Will Change Everything Else #709
12 years ago my life looked very different.
I was broke. I was putting $20 of fuel in my car because that's all I could afford without risking my card declining. My wife was paying for our dinners. I lacked confidence, I didn't have purpose, and I wasn't happy with where I was at.
Now I have an incredible marriage, a career that takes me around the world, and I've spent the last decade helping men build lives they're proud of.
The transformation didn't happen by accident. There's a process behind it. And in this episode, I'm sharing exactly what it is.
You'll learn:
- Why getting clear on your biggest problem changes everything else
- How to find the one issue that — if you solved it — would solve most of the others too
- The petrol station moment that made me decide to change everything
- How to identify potential solutions and choose the right one for your season of life
- Why your actions create ripples — and how to think about the real cost of change
- The difference between the external plan and the internal work (and why you need both)
- How limiting beliefs are the hidden reason most transformations stall — and what to do about it
Whether you're treading water or simply ready to grow, this is the roadmap.Take the "Life Performance" Scorecard: HERE

We share a four-step process to handle pressure by getting clear on what you’re carrying, then turning it into real-world practice. We pull lessons from a gamified workshop format and show how better communication and support make hard goals feel doable.
• naming the pressure you’re carrying instead of hiding it
• getting specific about vague labels like financial pressure
• using hypotheses and testing to find what actually helps
• practising pressure in groups to surface blind spots
• learning how standards and choices differ even with the same goal
• reviewing outcomes to reduce tension and resentment
• implementing your own goal and sharing it for accountability
• asking for help and checking skill, capacity, and support gaps

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow28 September 2026, 12:00 am - 15 minutes 2 secondsLife Gets Better When You Figure These 4 Things Out #707
At 35, I can look back at my 20s and see exactly what I wish I'd understood earlier.
Not because I failed, but because figuring things out took longer than it needed to. And if I can shortcut that for you, that's worth sharing.
In this episode I share 4 things that — if I'd really embraced them before 30 — would have changed everything about how I built my life, my career, and my relationships.
You'll learn:
- Why trying everything in your 20s isn't wasted time — it's the smartest thing you can do
- The difference between quitting because it's hard and leaving because you've grown past it
- Why the days feel long but the years go faster than you think — and how to make them count
- How to choose a life partner who makes you more, not less, of who you want to be
- Why the version of success you're chasing might not actually be yours
- How to design a life that makes you happy — even if it looks nothing like everyone else's
- What I'd tell my 25-year-old self after the 58 marathons, a book, a documentary, and becoming a dad
This one's for the man who's figuring it out — whether you're 22 or 42.

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow13 September 2026, 8:00 pm - 16 minutes 8 secondsWhy the Hardest Work Always Happens Before You Even Start #706
I'm about to attempt something that's never been done.
4,400 kilometres across Australia. Roughly 44 to 50 days. A fundraising goal 4x bigger than the 58 marathons. A team that isn't fully assembled yet. And sponsors who keep saying no.
The run hasn't started, and the hardest part is already here.
In this episode I share why I'm doing it, what it's already teaching me about self-trust and backing yourself before the results come in, and why the work you do before the start line determines everything.
You'll learn:
- Why the hardest part of any big challenge happens before you even begin
- How to back yourself when you're getting rejected and results aren't coming
- Why I'm expecting 500 rejections — and why that doesn't stop me
- The story you tell yourself after rejection — and how to change it
- Why I want Freddie to see me chase my dreams, not just tell him to chase his
- How to choose the one hard thing that will move you closer to the life you want
- Why make preparation your separation — and what that actually looks like in practice
After the 58 marathons, a world first, a book, and a documentary, I still felt like I hadn't found my point of failure. This is why.

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow6 September 2026, 9:00 pm - 15 minutes 38 secondsWhat Every Business Owner Needs to Do Before the Baby Arrives #705
When your first baby is coming, two fears sit side by side.
If I step back from the business... will it suffer?
If I don't step back... what will I miss at home?
Six months into fatherhood, I can tell you: you don't have to choose. But you do have to prepare.
In this episode I share the 3 things I did before Freddie arrived that let me take a month off, stay present at home, and keep the business growing — and what I'd do even better next time.
You'll learn:
- Why the story you tell yourself about coming home changes everything about how you show up
- The difference between autopilot dad and privilege dad, and how to switch
- How one of my clients went from sleeping in separate beds to being a present husband and father
- The "if it matters, give it a place" system, how to protect time for business, family, and yourself
- How to build a shared calendar that your partner is actually on board with
- How to make your business fit your life, not the other way around
- The delegate, systemise, delete framework for stepping away without things falling apart
This one's for the business owner who wants to be an incredible dad, and isn't willing to sacrifice the business to do it.

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow30 August 2026, 8:00 pm - 7 minutes 40 secondsWhy Nothing You Achieve Ever Feels Like Enough #704
11 people showed up to the final screening of my documentary in Perth.
I walked to the front of the room, looked out at a lot of empty seats, and instantly felt like a failure.
I was embarrassed. I thought, how could only 11 people show up?
Then I caught myself. Because a year ago, I would have dreamed of flying across the country to have 11 people pay to watch my film.
Same number. Completely different feeling. That's when I realised what was actually happening, and what to do about it.
In this episode I share the exact 3-step shift I made in real time that turned one of the most embarrassing moments of the tour into one of the best nights.
You'll learn:
- Why your wins stop feeling like wins the more successful you get
- How to reframe a failure in real time without lying to yourself about it
- Why your response to a setback is always a choice, and how to make the right one
- What I did that night that the other 4 cities never got to experience
- How to review what went wrong honestly without letting it destroy your confidence
- Why you can be grateful for what happened AND take responsibility for what didn't work
- "Don't let the highs make you think you're better than you are. Don't let the lows make you think you're worse."
This one's for anyone who's had something go sideways and felt the gap between where they are and where they think they should be.

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow23 August 2026, 9:00 pm - 9 minutes 10 secondsWhy Ambitious Men Win at Work and Lose at Everything Else #703
You hit the goal. You built the business. You made the money.
And then you looked around and realised, something's missing.
Your marriage feels distant. Your mates have moved on. You barely recognise yourself in the mirror. And the next goal is already lined up, because stopping means facing the fact that the last one didn't fill the gap you thought it would.
In this episode I break down why ambitious men win at work and quietly lose everything else, and the mindset shift that changes it.
You'll learn:
- Why achieving big goals can leave you feeling more lost, not less
- What happened when I moved back from professional rugby in France and hit rock bottom
- Why high-achieving men end up feeling like strangers in their own homes
- How I chased a million dollars — got it — and realised it wasn't what I was after
- Why the destination can't be the only place you allow yourself to feel successful
- How I finished the 58 marathons without being defined by the outcome
- How to stay ambitious without sacrificing your marriage, your health, and your mates
This one's for the man who's built something to be proud of, but privately wonders why it still doesn't feel like enough.

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow17 August 2026, 9:00 am - 7 minutes 6 secondsThis Is Why You Keep Falling Off Track (And How to Stop) #702
You know what you should be doing. You've got goals. You're probably going well in life. But somewhere along the way you dipped, and now the things that used to feel easy feel hard.
You're sleeping in. Skipping the gym. Having that extra beer. Scrolling when you should be doing. And waiting to feel motivated again before you make a move.
That's not how you get out of a rut. In this episode I show you exactly what is.
You'll learn:
- Why ruts don't happen from one big failure — they're built from small choices stacking up
- The dip: why motivation always fades and what to do when it does
- Why waiting to feel ready is the thing keeping you stuck
- The choice you have to make in the moment — and how to make the right one
- How I kept going during the 58 marathons at minus 16 degrees with frostnip
- Why trying to fix everything on Monday never works — and what to do instead
- The one small win to get today that starts building momentum again
This is one of the first things I work through with every client, because until you can get yourself out of a dip, nothing else sticks.

Do Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow12 August 2026, 9:00 pm - 14 minutes 34 secondsThe 3-Step Framework to Own Your Story and Change Your Life #701
You cannot become the man you want to be until you own the man you've become.
Four years ago a bloke came to me doing FIFO work, seven on, seven off. His marriage was falling apart. He was blaming his roster, his wife, his circumstances. Everything except himself.
In this episode I walk through the exact 3-step framework we used to turn that around, and why owning your story is the only thing that actually changes it.
You'll learn:
- The difference between a victim mindset and a creator mindset (and which one you're living in)
- Step 1: Own what happened — the two questions that force honest self-reflection
- Why "that happened to me" and "that happened for me" lead to completely different lives
- Step 2: Control the narrative — the two brothers story that says everything
- Why you can't control your first thought, but you can control your second
- Step 3: Write the next chapter — who are you becoming from here?
- The one choice to make this week to prove it
I also share the story of a client who was headed for divorce, how we rebuilt his story from the ground up, and where he is four years later.
