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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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!

EP 32: Hidden Effects Of A Vape Addiction, Healing From Trauma & Mental Health | Lily Ford Opens Up Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

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.

This episode isn’t just about Lily’s battle with vaping—it’s about the broader human experience of overcoming trauma, facing mental health challenges, and finding the path to healing.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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!
