EP 40: A Fan Favourite Returns! “You’re Giving In The Wrong Way…” | Diogo Giglio Nov 04, 2024

Welcome to episode 40 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I’m joined for the second time on the show, the fan favourite, Diogo Giglio – a man whose energy and positivity could brighten anyone’s day.

Diogo shares stories from his childhood, reflecting on the difficult experience of being bullied and how those early challenges shaped him into the person he is today.

Our conversation dives into the realities of Diogo’s life as a business owner, where staying balanced can be tough, especially with the demands of work and family life. Diogo opens up about his faith and what it means to him, sharing a perspective on God that’s more about connection and purpose than traditional religion. It’s a real insight into how he finds meaning and guidance, even during life’s toughest moments.

We also explore the concept of giving – something Diogo feels passionately about. He believes giving back is essential, especially when it’s difficult, and explains how that mindset has brought unexpected blessings into his life. This episode is packed with Diogo’s wisdom, positivity, and the kind of insights that can shift anyone’s perspective on life.

Tune in to feel inspired, uplifted, and maybe take away a new way of looking at the world. Diogo’s story is a powerful reminder that even in the toughest times, we can find light, purpose, and joy.

EP 39: I Dropped Out Of School To Become A Pop Star… | Oliver Cronin Oct 28, 2024

Welcome to episode 39 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Our guest today is Oliver Cronin. Oliver is one of my best friends. We barely left each other during lockdown because we lived in the buildings next to each other. I had a little gym set up in my office.

Oliver would come over every day on my lunch break to train. While we would train he would play the new music he created that morning. This was before he gained millions of followers online.

Oliver got signed to a major record label when he was 17 years old which led him to drop out of school to become a Rapper. He thought he made it at that moment but was quickly humbled by many challenges he had to face in those few years after.

Now 22 years old he has blown up on social media and is the most well known up and coming artist in the whole country and has been travelling around the world performing and creating music with some of the biggest names in the industry.

This was a good one fam! Enjoy

EP 37: The Work Expert: Your Life Is Not What It’s Supposed To Be… | Paul Millerd Oct 14, 2024

Welcome to episode 37 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I’m joined by independent author Paul Millerd, best known for his best-selling book The Pathless Path and his latest release Good Work. Paul’s story is one of courage, transformation, and redefining what it means to live a successful life.

After achieving everything he thought represented success, Paul realized it wasn’t truly fulfilling. In a bold move, he decided to “blow up” his conventional life and pursue writing—a choice that allowed him to find his version of "good work."

During our conversation, Paul and I dive deep into his journey and unpack lessons about breaking free from societal expectations to follow a path that truly serves your soul. Whether you're looking for inspiration or practical advice, this episode will leave you questioning what success really means and how to find your own "good work."

What you should expect to hear in this episode is Paul defining what Good Work is, how the first step to living the life you want to live is to blow up your current one, how having a season of solitude is important, how there is three different forms of marriages in your life, self gaslighting and much much more.

This was a great episode and all I ask is that if you enjoy this episode with a friend you think it will help.

EP 36: Noah Rolette: How Being A Rawdawg Changed My Life! Do More Hard Sh*t! Oct 07, 2024

Welcome to episode 36 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

My guest today is Noah Rolette, one of the founders of Raw Dawg Run Club, a group that has taken the running world by storm. What began as a small, casual run among friends has quickly become one of the largest and most vibrant run clubs globally, known for its lively atmosphere and unique approach to fitness.

In this episode, Noah opens up about the journey he and his best friends went through—from sharing a cramped room at his parents’ house, moving into a small, moldy flat, to suddenly blowing up on social media. In just over a year, they've transformed their lives, and the story of how they built Raw Dawg into a global movement is absolutely insane!

Raw Dawg Run Club's philosophy of “raw-dogging life” resonates with many people who are tired of traditional gym culture. The name itself may seem provocative, but Noah explains that it represents a mindset of tackling life head-on without over-preparation. Their viral content on Instagram helped the club gain massive traction, resulting in thousands of people showing up to run at their club. It’s not just about running—it’s about building connections, staying healthy, and enjoying life with like-minded people. And of course, RAWDAWGING it!

EP 35: How Running Every Day For 2,300 Days Changed My Life | Cru Mahoney’s Extreme Lifestyle Sep 30, 2024

Welcome to episode 35 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

We dive into the incredible story of Cru Mahoney today, a man whose extreme approach to life has made him stand out in today’s world.

Cru has never touched alcohol, caffeine, drugs, or even supplements in his life, and he’s proud of it. In fact, a video of him discussing his "lame" lifestyle choices went viral, racking up 50 million views and turning him into a social media sensation.

What’s more, Cru has gone for a run every day for the last 2300 days—yes, every single day. He shares what motivates him to maintain such intense discipline, why he chooses to live outside the norm, and how this approach has shaped his success and happiness.

This is an inspiring conversation with someone who’s truly committed to living life on his own terms, no shortcuts, no distractions, and definitely no excuses.

I just absolutely love speaking to people that are unique. People that are actually doing things for them, living on their own terms and coming up with their own conclusions. It’s so refreshing.

This episode was such a good one!

Welcome to episode 32 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I sit down with the lovely Lily Ford in this episode, a prominent voice in anti-vaping campaigns who’s been featured extensively on Australian news.

Lily shares her raw and honest story of how she became addicted to vaping and the hidden traumas that fuelled it. We dive deep into the emotional and psychological effects of her addiction, uncovering that vaping was just the surface issue of a much larger battle with past trauma.

Lily also opens up about her transformative healing journey, exploring the emotional work that led to her recovery. She shares her unique insights on mental health awareness and how she learned to address the root causes of her struggles. We unpack how addiction often masks deeper pain, and what it took for her to confront that pain head-on.

EP 30: Timothy Smith From MAFS Opens Up About His Incredible Story Aug 26, 2024

Welcome to episode 30 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I sit down with Timothy Smith today, the familiar face from Married at First Sight (MAFS), who shares a gripping and emotional journey that goes far beyond reality TV.

Tim opens up about a time in his life when he was involved in illegal activities, including flying a helicopter without a license and trafficking weed from Canada into the U.S. His risky decisions caught up with him, leading to his arrest and time behind bars.

But the challenges didn’t stop there. While in jail, Tim faced heartbreaking losses—his mother passed away, and soon after, his brother took his own life.

Despite these devastating experiences, Timothy found a way to turn his life around. Appearing on Married at First Sight was one of those things that helped change the trajectory of his life.

I loved this one. Shout out to my mum for telling me about Tim. She wouldn’t shut up about how amazing he was and that I had to have him on the show.

Enjoy fam!

EP 29: World’s Most Famous Twin Models Open Up About Being Awfully Bullied… | Jordan & Zac Stenmark Aug 19, 2024

Welcome to episode 29 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I’m joined by two of my really good friends, Jordan and Zac Stenmark, who are not just the largest twin male models in the world but also remarkable individuals with an inspiring story.

We dive into their sporty upbringing and the challenges they faced growing up with dyslexia. Jordan and Zac candidly share their experiences of being bullied at school for not being able to read, making school life a constant struggle. Jordan referred to these times in the episode as “terror”. Despite these difficulties, they turned their challenges into the drive that led them to where they are today.

I’ve known Jordan and Zac for years, and we used to catch up every morning over coffee at our favourite cafe in Bondi, The Depot. Our conversations often drifted into deep, interesting topics, and this episode felt like a continuation of those daily chats.

I loved this one fam and I hope you do too!

EP 28: Solitary Confinement To Filming Movies With Chris Hemsworth | CJ Bloomfield’s Insane Story Aug 12, 2024

Welcome to episode 28 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Wow, wow, wow… This episode is probably my favourite to date.

I sit down with CJ Bloomfield, a man whose life story sounds like something straight out of a movie. CJ's journey is nothing short of extraordinary, going from a life immersed in crime and gang culture to being sentenced to 28 years in prison. However, fate had other plans for him—he served just 2 years after his two biggest charges were dropped.

But what CJ did with those 2 years is what makes his story truly remarkable. While in solitary confinement, CJ began honing his acting skills, using the graffiti on his cell wall as an imaginary camera. Little did he know that this practice would set him on a path that would change his life forever.

Two years after leaving prison, CJ landed a role in a movie alongside Chris Hemsworth, and his life took a complete 180. Now, he's on track to becoming a major A-list celebrity with some massive projects in the works.

We dive deep into his incredible transformation, discussing the lessons CJ learned along the way, the healing journey he's undertaken, and what it takes to turn your life around in the most profound way possible.

I could write a full book recapping this episode but I will leave it there - you will just have to tune in! I’m excited to hear your thoughts.

EP 26: From Foster Care To Billionaire By 30!? | Kyle Hunt’s Incredible Story Jul 29, 2024

Welcome to episode 26 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

We're joined by Kyle Hunt today, whose life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Kyle was left at a stop sign at just 2 years old and found by a truck driver… I know that may be hard to believe but it happened. He also was in a police chase with his mum and step dad when he was 5 years old, just moments before he watched his parents go to jail, resulting in young Kyle to go back into foster care.

Kyle's early years were spent navigating the foster care system. By the age of 11, he decided to take control of his fate and ran away from home.

Fast forward to today, Kyle has built an impressive 8-figure health care business and has set his targets to become a billionaire by 30. His journey is now gaining traction on social media, where he's documenting his path and inspiring others with his story.

Crazy story this week all! If you feel like your problems are big or you’ve been dealt a bad hand of cards, listen to this and you’ll realise no matter what you’ve gone through, you can achieve everything you’ve ever wanted.

EP 25: The Ultimate Comeback From Losing His Father To Making The NFL | Patrick Murtagh Jul 22, 2024

Welcome to episode 25 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

We're sitting down with Patrick Murtagh today, a guy whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

I first met Patty playing AFL with the GC Suns here in Australia. I was in the academy when he got drafted. Things took a turn when he got dropped from the team a few years later, but he didn't let that stop him. He kept grinding and eventually got drafted into the NFL.

But, as life would have it, just before he could sign his NFL contract, an injury sent him back home. Most people would have thrown in the towel, but not Patty. He worked even harder, pushed through the rehab, and got picked up by the Jaguars.

What's truly inspiring about Patty is his dedication to his family. He's doing all of this to support his mum and sister, especially after losing his father to cancer. This episode dives deep into Patty's highs and lows, his relentless spirit, and the love that keeps him going.

This story was wild… An eye opener for sure.

Enjoy!

EP 24: Don’t Let Your Happiness Be Tied To Progression… | Tobi Pearce Shares Mind Blowing Thoughts Jul 15, 2024

Welcome to episode 24 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today we have a super special guest! We’re joined by the incredible Tobi Pearce. A little back story: Tobi was on my dream list of all the big guests I wanted on The Pocket before I even started the show. I didn’t expect to have him on this early but here we are!

Tobi is a business powerhouse here in Australia. He founded Sweat, a fitness empire, and sold it for a whopping $300 million. Now, he’s all about investing in businesses and mentoring top-level business owners.

We sat down for over two hours, diving deep into his journey. Tobi shared insights on building a successful business, making smart investments, and the ups and downs of his career. His knowledge and experience shine through, and I promise you'll hear things you've never heard before.

Some of the things mentioned in this episode are probably the best concepts ever spoken about on this podcast to date. Some key highlights that were nuggets of gold for me were:

Debunking the concept of happiness being tied to progression
A deep dive on “The Lonely Chapter”
What it actually means to have a mentor

This just scratches the surface of the amazing 2 hour convo we had. Get your notepad and pen out for this one!

EP 23: This Relationship Is A Testament Of True Love | Meg & Will Martin Open Up Jul 08, 2024

Welcome to episode 23 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

In this episode, I’m sitting down with the ultimate power couple, Meg and Will Martin. Their story is a blend of love, resilience, and incredible achievements that you won't want to miss. I was blown away by these. In fact, I resonated so much with their story and phase of life they’re in right now.

Will became a millionaire at just 24 years old, working alongside his brother. However, life took a dramatic turn when he had a major falling out with his family. Choosing to give up everything, Will started from scratch, navigating the challenges of rebuilding his life. Adding to the complexity, his family didn't like Meg and blamed her for the fallout.

Despite the family drama, Meg and Will stood by each other, proving that their bond is unbreakable. Their journey is a testament to their strength and love.

On a different note, Meg and Will recently clinched the title of best couple in the world at the Hyrox fitness competition. If you haven't heard of Hyrox, it's a hugely popular fitness competition that tests both physical and mental endurance. Their win showcases their dedication and teamwork in the fitness world.

In this episode, we explore their journey, discussing the highs and lows, the importance of doing everything together, and the challenges they faced along the way. Meg and Will share how they manage to keep their relationship strong despite the obstacles and what it means to be a true power couple.

This was a GOODIE fam. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Welcome to episode 21 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I sit down with my great friend Ollie Moore, whose incredible journey took him from living in a country town in the UK to now living in the sunny Gold Coast in Australia. Initially, Ollie made the move as a way to escape his problems, but it turned out to be the best decision he ever made, transforming his life for the better.

Ollie has always been super into health and fitness but now his main focus is strength and endurance training, preparing for the Hyrox competitions he is competing in this year.

We delve into the challenges he faced along the way, including the devastating loss of his two grandmothers, a painful breakup, and an injury that prevented him from training—the one thing he loves most.

Ollie opens up about how he managed to navigate these tough times and the valuable lessons he’s learned. We also discuss the concept of happiness and what it truly means to him, highlighting his journey from escaping his problems to finding his purpose and joy.

EP 20: This Man Will Make You Smile No Matter What You're Going Through... | Diogo Giglio Jun 17, 2024

Welcome to episode 20 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I sit down with a good friend and absolute legend Diogo Giglio, one of the most positive and inspiring individuals I've ever met. Diogo's energy is simply infectious, and his story will leave you feeling uplifted and motivated, that’s a promise.

Diogo's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. At just 13 years old, he was kicked out of his home in Brazil because he refused to follow the strict religious beliefs of his family. Alone and determined, he moved from country to country, eventually immigrating to Australia, a country he'd never been to, and is building an incredible life for himself. Today, Diogo runs a highly successful construction and development company called GCD, and he shares his life with his loving partner, Alisha.

We delve deep into Diogo's story, exploring the challenges he faced and the triumphs he achieved along the way. Diogo opens up about his unique perspective on religion, discussing the difference between his strong connection to God yet his strong dislike to religion. He believes that religion was created to divide people and envisions a future where it no longer exists. Our conversation on this topic is thought-provoking and insightful.

Throughout the episode, we also touch on various topics we're passionate about, from personal growth to the power of positivity. Diogo's resilience and outlook on life are truly inspiring, and I'm sure his story will be eye opening to anyone who listens.

EP 18: I Was Addicted To People Pleasing... | Eugene Koning Jun 03, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

This episode is truly special. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Eugene Koning, a good friend, absolute legend and a breathwork facilitator at Saint Haven (one of my favourite places on earth).

Eugene’s journey is one of the most inspiring I've ever heard. He moved from New Zealand to Holland to chase his rugby dreams but ended up getting caught in a whirlwind of partying and drugs.

Eugene was such a people pleaser, always doing things just to fit in, living a lie. One night, everything changed for Eugene. He found himself at a breaking point, which led him to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing through breathwork.

Eugene's story is a testament to the power of resilience and transformation. Now, he dedicates his life to helping high achievers unlock their full potential through the incredible practice of breathwork.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

Eugene’s early days and his move to Holland for rugby
The highs and lows of his party lifestyle
The pivotal moment that sparked his journey into breathwork
His incredible transformation and healing process
How he now helps others as a breathwork facilitator at Saint Haven

This conversation is packed with raw honesty and deep insights. Eugene's energy is infectious, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite episodes ever. I didn’t want it to end!

Don’t miss out on this powerful and inspiring story. Tune in now and let Eugene’s journey inspire you to start your own path of self-discovery and healing.

EP 17: I Made $450k In 1 Month And I Was The Most Depressed I've Ever Been... | Tom Noske May 27, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

This week, we're diving deep into an incredible story with our special guest, Tom Noske.

First of all, Tom is an absolute legend and I am so inspired by his story. Tom is the opposite of me being super introverted, however he has pushed himself time and time again, and now he's out there posting content and helping others build their own online businesses.

In this episode, we talk about Tom's journey through life as well as building and launching his successful program, Time To Build. Tom's recent launch was a massive hit, raking in $500k AUD in just one month! And he's only looking to grow from here, with each launch building on the last.

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Tom opens up about his ongoing struggles with anxiety. Despite all his success, he still battles extreme anxiety and the overwhelming feeling of impending doom that can be triggered by the smallest negative thought. It's raw, it's real, and it's something many of us can relate to.

This conversation was one of the most authentic and heartfelt chats we've had on the podcast. We went deep, sharing Tom's story over a span of more than two hours. Trust me, you won't want to miss a second of it.

Tune in to hear how Tom has navigated his personal challenges while achieving incredible success. It's a story of resilience, vulnerability, and the constant journey of self-improvement.

Welcome to Episode 14 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today's guest, Louis Phillips, takes us through the highs and lows of his evolving career. Once a pioneering fitness creator in Australia, Louis faced a pivotal moment when a public fallout with his best friend and business partner turned his world around, sparking intense online drama.

Beyond his social media and TV experiences, Louis discusses the challenges of launching and running his new tech venture, the running app INTVL. He also reflects on the insane impact having a girlfriend during all of these times has on him.

EP 10: The Man Behind Australia's Largest Mens Jewellery Brand | Matthew Banks, Merchants of the sun Apr 08, 2024

Welcome to Episode 10 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

This week, we were thrilled to have Matthew Banks, the visionary founder of my favourite and also Australia's largest men's jewellery brand, Merchants of the Sun.

In this conversation, Matty takes us behind the scenes of Merchants of the Sun, sharing the brand's inception story, the challenges faced, and the pivotal moments that defined its path.

One of the most captivating stories Matty shared was about a bold decision made at the peak of the brand's success. Despite Merchants of the Sun doing an astounding $150,000 a month, Matty chose to close the store during the busiest times of the year. This wasn't a step back but a strategic pause to refocus and reimagine the brand's vision, setting a precedent in the industry about the importance of alignment with core values over immediate gains.

We also touched on the hard times, the doubts, and the resilience it takes to build a brand that stands out for its commitment to quality and sustainability. Matty's journey with Merchants of the Sun is not just a business success story; it's a testament to following one's passion and the courage to redefine success on one's own terms.

As a personal fan of their jewellery, I can't express enough how much I love Merchants of the Sun's creations. I wear their pieces every day, and their commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability is something I deeply respect and recommend to everyone.
