Adam and I connected over a year ago when he asked me to be on his podcast. It's taken us a year to get here but he finally came to Brisbane to interview me and then I interviewed him.  [TW- In this episode we discuss suicide. If you don't feel comfortable with this, then we understand and I'll see you next week] In this episode he talks about volunteering for CFS and now working as a paid staff member. Adam has had his fair share of adversity  growing up. From being bullied for his differences to extreme mental health struggles that saw him wishing to end his life. This experience was a complete crossroad for Adam and it was at this point that he made the decision to turn his life around.  Adam is now on a mission to live the most incredible life he possibly can. He's doing so much with his life and he's only just getting started. Adam is one of the nicest people I've ever met and I'm so grateful that he gave us his time on the podcast!  Follow Adam here - @true.blue.history Listen to his podcast here - True Blue History Podcast

Troy Knight is a former Combat Controller in the RAAF.  He served over 2 decades in the RAAF before moving on from defence and becoming an Author of the book 'Havoc06'. Troy has had a jam packed career in the RAAF. His stories are second to none and my only regret from this episode is that I wish we could have kept recording for hours.  Troy and I talk about his decision to join the RAAF and the path to becoming a Combat Controller. We talk about his challenges with mental health and the impact this had on his family and his career. We chat about writing his book with Brooke Strahan and his plans for a second book and more. We talked a lot of shit and it was great.  We were recording in a cafe so the audio is a bit shit but if you can push through that... the content of this episode is pure gold.  Troy is a legend and I am SO grateful he was able to give us his time to come on this podcast.  If you're interested in joining The Barracks Gym and training with us click here To listen to his episode with Life on the Line, click here To purchase Havoc06, click here To follow Troy on IG, click here

This episode is completely different to anything else we've ever had on here! Today I chatted with my friend Matt Lydement. He's recently wrapped up at the Tokyo Olympics. I wanted to get him in to talk about what it actually takes to prepare for an Olympics. Physically and Mentally. To be so on the TOP of your sporting game that you can represent your country on a world stage. Funnily enough though, a lot of it is about mindset.    Matt talks to us about preparing for an Olympics that got cancelled and then still not allowing himself to get excited in case Tokyo 2021 didn't go ahead. He trained from home during all lockdowns. He could have used any excuse he liked to avoid training, but he never did. He only EVER showed up. Matt has a lot of wisdom to offer all applicants. So many principles we discussed carry over to applicants. Turns out preparing for the Olympics and preparing for the ADF/Police/Fireys actually have a lot in common We're so proud of Matt. He gave it absolutely everything and we are gunning for him a the next Commonwealth Games!

On today's episode of Badass I talk to Sally who has just wrapped up her time at Kapooka for Army Reserves. She's a GSO Officer Cadet and absolutely smashed her way through Kapooka. Sally trained with TBG for a year prior to heading off and it was because of this training that she absolutely dominated.  As we would all know, Army has reduced the PFA requirements for non-combat job roles. Sally explains why you still need to strive for much higher than the minimum standards. There are a lot of components of Kapooka that recruits will find difficult if they have only just reached those lower standards Sally absolutely loved Kapooka and you can hear the excitement and passion in her voice as she talks to us about it. She had an awesome time and did really well I'm so proud of Sally and all that she has worked for in the past year. She has stayed committed to her training and it shows.

On today's episode I chat with Commando Steve. Steve Willis rose to fame during his time as 'The Commando' on The Biggest Loser back in 2007. The evolution of Commando Steve over the years saw him go on to write 3 books, compete in the CrossFit games, acted on Home & Away and become a contestant on Survivor. Steve now owns 'Get Commando Fit' down in Sydney and is a Dad to 4 gorgeous kids I was absolutely obsessed with The Biggest Loser. I knew all the contestants, I knew all the trainers, I knew everyone and loved it. So when I had a rush of courage and reached out to Commando Steve to be on the podcast, I actually didn't expect him to respond. After all, he's a busy guy and he's Commando Steve. I was absolutely gobsmacked when he replied to say he'd love to be on the podcast. So here we are There's so much more to Steve than camo pants and black sunglasses. For the first time on my own podcast, I was pretty much speechless. He is so insightful about everything. Everything he says can be applied to everyones lives  During this chat you'll hear my baby, Jack, carrying on at times. Whilst I organised for him to hang out with his Dad, he clearly just wanted to hang out with Commando Steve too. So if you hear weird noises and the occasional whinge...it's just my needy child. But that's life, right?
