Welcome to episode 50 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin, a little milestone!

I sit down with 4-time world champion kite surfer James Carew today. This guy is an absolute beast on the water and a legend in the sport, but there’s way more to him than just catching waves.

James opens up about overcoming one of the most severe injuries of his career—a setback that would’ve ended things for most people. Instead, he came back stronger than ever, winning the world championship straight after. It’s a story of grit, resilience, and straight-up determination.

We also dig into the people behind his success, especially his partner, who has been his rock through it all. James talks about how she’s been by his side during the highs and lows, helping him stay grounded and focused. And if you think his drive to win is just about personal glory, think again—so much of what James does is for his dad, who’s been a massive inspiration in his journey.

With all that said however, James highlights how much of a solo journey it still is and how important it is to be comfortable in the solitude.

This was a good one fam - enjoy!!

Our guest today is Harry Garside, Olympic Boxer, author of The Good Fight, and a man that is unapologetically himself, expressing all the highs, and being vulnerable in the lows.

Welcome to episode 46 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.

This episode we have the amazing Rawson Kirkhope as our guest. Rawson is the Co-Founder of the rapidly growing fitness empire in Bondi, VRTUS.

To see where Rawson has come from, to where he is today is something we all can gain inspiration from. Rawson experienced extreme challenges growing up with a father that had Schizophrenia, resulting in multiple personalities, some days were great, some days were extremely terrifying. 

Things took a massive turn when Rawson was 13 and his Dad shot two bullets into his mother, while he stood there in the shower watching. Crazy I know.

We go through his whole story including all the highs and lows that followed that moment and led him to where he is today having a booming fitness business leaving a major impact on the local communities and beyond.

This was a good one fam! Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 42 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

This one is a deeply personal and special one. My guest is Sam Hope—Director of the Forbes Club, an incredible young entrepreneur at just 22, and more importantly, my best friend.

Sam and I have been through everything together, from extreme highs to crushing lows. At one point, we were sharing a mattress on the floor of a studio apartment because our bed got mouldy. We merged our bank accounts just to scrape together enough for groceries and keep a roof over our heads. Those tough times shaped us, not just as individuals but also as a team. Now, we look back on those moments with pride, knowing they were the foundation for everything we’ve built since. They’re also just amazing memories to look back on. They are comparison points.

Beyond the rawness of our shared story, we also dive into what makes Sam so extraordinary: his unparalleled networking skills. Sam has this rare ability to make people genuinely invested in him and his vision. He doesn’t just walk into a room—he owns it, leaving a lasting impression that gets him into spaces where opportunities flourish. In this episode, he breaks down how he does it and shares actionable insights on how you, too, can become a networking powerhouse.

If you’ve ever wondered how to connect with people in a way that’s authentic and impactful, or if you’re facing challenges and need some inspiration to keep going, this conversation is for you. Sam’s wisdom, grit, and expertise will leave you motivated to level up your life, whether you’re an entrepreneur or just trying to figure things out.

Enjoy this one team <3

Welcome to episode 41 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I sit down with Stefan Torres, a social media sensation who’s known for his cooking and food review videos as well as his outgoing and energetic nature. 

Over the past eight months, Stefan’s online presence has exploded, but his journey to get here is quite extreme to say the least. Certainly not just an overnight success.

Stefan opens up about his early years, slipping into the party and drug scene and eventually battling a 10-year addiction to ice. He shares his raw story of overcoming addiction, the lessons learned, and the struggles he faced along the way. Now a proud father of two young girls, Stefan reflects on what genuinely matters to him today, from family to the values he wants to instill in his kids.

Tune in to hear how Stefan turned his life around, proving that no matter how deep you go, there’s always a way back.
