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

Show notes

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.

Show notes

Welcome to episode 27 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I sit down with Frank Greeff, a former chef turned tech entrepreneur who co-founded Realbase, a real estate marketing platform that was eventually sold for a staggering $180 million. Frank shares his remarkable journey, starting from his early days in the kitchen to building a successful tech company with his two brothers.

Highlights of the Episode:

Early Career and Transition: Frank talks about his initial career as a chef before his decision to pivot towards the tech industry. Alongside his brothers, Frank co-founded Realbase, a company aimed at disrupting the real estate market through innovative property tech solutions.
Challenges and Resilience: Frank opens up about the tough times during the business's growth phase. He recalls sleepless nights where his wife’s comforting words kept him grounded and determined. This segment highlights the importance of resilience and the unwavering support from his family, particularly his wife and brothers.
The Power of Connection: We delve into the significance of having a solid support system. For Frank, his brothers and wife played crucial roles during both the highs and lows of his entrepreneurial journey. Their collective ambition, trust, and differing skill sets were pivotal to their success.
Business Insights: Frank provides valuable insights into time management, effective leadership, and the importance of fostering a high-performance culture. He also shares his experience of merging Realbase with their main competitor, eventually leading to its acquisition by Domain Group.
Life After Realbase: Following the sale of Realbase, Frank experienced what he describes as a "purpose realignment." He discusses his philanthropic efforts, including his upcoming cookbook project, "Eat with Purpose," aimed at raising funds for children’s cancer charities.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Show notes

Welcome to episode 22 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

In this episode, I chat with Adam Sullivan aka Cunnie aka the Top C, whatever you want to call him, the guy behind Evidence Based Training (EBT). Adam’s journey is wild – he went from struggling in Blacktown, Western Sydney, to building a fitness empire on the Gold Coast worth eight figures.

This episode was honestly insane. A different side of Adam you won’t find anywhere else. He went deep about things he has never shared before.
