This podcast gets juicy right from the get-go. With Bec as a Sexologist and Tracy as a Molecular Biologist, there is nothing left on the table when talking about the topic of Sex.
What sex looks like in the modern era, its impact on our mind and body, our relationship with ourselves, the healthy roles of men, and what it means when we discuss females serving males. And most importantly, what we might be missing out on in the bedroom?
We delve into topics such as mastering orgasm, breathing techniques that can be used with your partner, addressing issues related to masturbation, and exploring the reasons behind the increasing prevalence of erectile dysfunction among our young men. We also touch upon semen retention, ways to spice up relationships, and a recurring theme in many of my podcasts - the experience of being alone.
There's so much more packed into this podcast, so get ready! Both Tracy and Bec are amazing, and I personally gained so much from shooting this episode. It's just one of many more to come. Follow these girls on their podcast – Sticky Fingers.

Yes, being a professional athlete is a dream job, travelling the world and doing the one thing you love with your teammates. However, as we know, mental health is Far Keen Real, even for those living the life we all dreamt of as kids growing up.

There are plenty of takeaways here and a clear message that we all have tough moments in life. Yet, we are all here, doing our part to make the world a better place.

Many times throughout this podcast, I was left speechless. First, Andrew, his energy, the way he delivers his message, and listening to his achievements are truly inspiring. Graydon always brings his energy to the table, and witnessing Graydon's mission come alive left me in awe of what these two amazing men are accomplishing.
By listening to this podcast, you will be motivated and inspired, with the hope that all things are possible. Topics such as fitness, business, managing mental health, balancing personal and family life, nurturing your vision, and believing in yourself are just a few of the subjects discussed in this podcast.

Luke Jackson is the real deal when it comes to being “Far Keen Real”. A man who comes from a traumatic childhood, a man who today still deals with mental health issues and the pressures of battling his darkest demons.
Depression, suicide, trauma loss, and addiction are common topics in this podcast episode. Luke gives us a real inside look at his life, not only as a pro boxer and the success he achieved in the ring but also his ongoing fight with his past.
This guy is a true legend and has a powerful story to deliver. My respect for Luke is great, and the path and impact he's going to have in the mental health space and boxing community is just beginning.

Discussing the taboo topic of suicide among men in Australia with Paul and Cam from Mens Talk.
In Australia, seven men took their own lives every day. That's more than the number of deaths we have on our roads and, yes, more than the number of people who have died of Covid. The question is, what are we doing about it? How can we support this and decrease the number? If we are facing the situation of knowing someone who's suicidal, how can we approach it?
We discuss all these questions and provide our honest feedback based on our own experiences. As a community, we need to normalise conversations around mental health, especially when it comes to our kids, friends, and loved ones.
There are resources available, and there are plenty of natural therapies. No one should be suffering from these thoughts, so let's work together to make a change.
If anyone is feeling suicidal or having thoughts of suicide, please call Lifeline Australia at 13 11 14.

Following the previous podcast, "Relationship with Money" and "Relationship with Self," we thought we would open up the podcast and discuss "Relationship with Partner" as a group.
This was a juicy discussion with a variety of journeys that we have all walked and different experiences we have all had. We opened up right away and talked about topics such as sex, violent communication versus non-violent communication, toxic partners, and who heals from toxic breakups.
We need to be having these discussions more often, making them normal so that we can have healthy relationships and raise happier families and children. There will be a part 2 and maybe 3 and 4... It's a BIG topic!

The Amend Movement... what an absolute honour to have these boys on the podcast. After experiencing the Men's full-day workshop, I had the privilege to sit down with Wa and Marc and discuss all the topics that were spoken about and talk about my own journey.
What these boys are doing across Australia and New Zealand is incredible, to say the least. Healing, dealing with guilt and shame, learning how to give and receive love, and supporting us males to be better partners, fathers, and learning to prioritize ourselves positively.
Breathwork, dealing with breakups, transformation, and accepting and trusting in the new you were among the many topics we touched on. There is a lot to take from this podcast, so please grab a pen and paper, sit back, and enjoy.

Wow, what a magical podcast with these lads! Ethan runs his own YouTube channel called Dads and Lads Outdoors. His channel conveys a great message for fathers and sons to bond and relish the outdoors. Danny and I are also proud fathers, leading to numerous discussions about being a father in this day and age.
We share our perspectives on topics such as the pressing issue of homelessness in Perth. We explore the complexities of living on the streets and the underlying reasons that lead people to such a lifestyle. Ethan introduces the topic of stepping out of one's "comfort zone" and how he battled depression while existing within that zone. He shares how his mental health changed when he began venturing beyond his familiar boundaries.
The conversation takes an insightful turn as we discuss navigating life with ADHD and ADD. Danny openly shares his ways of effectively managing and enjoying a fruitful life after being diagnosed with ADD.
