The TLDR Podcast

After a week off due to illness/visitors we're back and just rambling as we usually do. Reviewing our chat with Brianna, discussing Luke's next challenge & talking through generational shifts in perspective.

Also, you'll notice we're trying out a new recording platform - feel free to reach out and give us some of your feedback!

Brianna competed all through her university degree on a national stage and made it to the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Tune in to hear about what it REALLY takes to compete at the highest level in track and field. From the highs to the lows and everything in between! 

Also, stay tuned for a bit of a bombshell 😉

Tom and Luke just completed the 4 x 4 x 48 challenge where they ran 4 Miles (6.4km) every 4 hours for 48 hours, completing 76.8km of running in total. It was a mental and physical challenge at various times over the weekend but they made it.

Leading into this week's 4x4x48 run, we wanted to chat with someone who has worked with RUOK? in the past and has chosen a career focusing on psychology and mental health. Alex discusses his own story as to how he found is way into this industry with varying degrees of tangents that Luke and Tom take him on as they barrel down the ever evolving tunnel that is curiosity.

With the cold weather upon us, how do we find ways to ensure we get up and seize the morning. Whether it's windy, rainy or just bloody freezing, there's always a reason to stay in bed. Choose your hard!

In this episode, Luke & Tom chat to Jeremy Scott, an ex college S&C Intern who has worked with Perth Glory and the Western Bulldogs.

Jeremy shares his experiences from the American S&C world and what they taught him about getting into Strength and Conditioning at an elite level. 

From working with college athletes (now in the NFL), A-League athletes and AFL players, Jeremy breaks down why he's chosen to pursue a career in the private industry of general population group training.

In this week's episode, Luke and Tom reflect on last week's discussion with Cain Rice. 

We reflect on the ability to create your own resilience, how it's a trained behaviour and how to find a little more 'good' in your week.

In this week's episode we get the opportunity to talk to a man who has run 44 marathons in 44 days. Cain Rice set himself a goal that was so unachievable it just might be crazy enough to achieve. We talk through his injury history (chaotic), his mental toughness and his motivation behind being a bad mother*cker.

This is one episode you won't want to miss and will come out thinking you can run through a brick wall!

Enjoy

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Joel Stoianis this week. Joel is someone who is constantly exploring what it means to be a man in today's society and has a business in helping men discover their true masculinity. Joel's perspective takes us on discussions around processing past trauma, why limiting your ability to emote is limiting your life, as well as the foundation of why society has found itself here.
