Today I release my first solo episode since the launch of @Squeezingtheplums.
After episode 13 I had a thought. Most of my audience were asking for more knowledge, information and insight into different things men value.
So I asked each new guest a question at the beginning of each podcast which was: “if there was a global catastrophe tomorrow and it wiped out pretty much every man but a few young aspirational men, what is the topic of conversation you’d feel confident in delivering to them based of the experiences in your life.
“In Episode 17 of @squeezingtheplums I answer my own question with a 7 step framework I created to help you craft the dream version of yourself. We go through in 30 short minutes: The 7 step framework to building a version of yourself you could only dream about An in podcast visualisation technique to meet your future self What I valued and struggled with as a young man The inquiry and execution needed to grow in to the version of yourself you want ️WATCH EPISODE 17 “7 STEPS TO CREATING THE DREAM VERSION OF YOURSELF ”

Meet Nicholas Katsidis. Also known as the culturefitcoach, Nik is a professional strength and conditioning coach and a keen martial artist. This episode is a conversation that talks about 3 main things.
Our relationship with harnessing dark thoughts or rage when training and how its not necessarily a bad thing.
With both of us growing up with a strong female influence we discuss our opinions on chivalry, dating when we were younger vs now and the very touchy subject on what we see men and especially women wearing in the gym these days 🫣
The final part is around mindset which for men who need some little tips to get the butt into action this could be helpful.

This week marks the launch of Squeezing the Plums. Back in 2022 I reached a tipping point. I had enough of dealing with a rare headache condition called Cluster Headaches. Spend one minute Google searching this and you’ll see that this is no normal headache. Rather a relentless series of intense, excruciating headaches that can wake you up in your sleep and last on and off for hours a day over the course of several months.
From the age of 16 I have experienced over 700 attacks lasting generally for 2-3 hours and occurring multiple times in a day. I reached the point where I was praying for a way to work through it. And so I became curious around the deeper meaning of why this condition existed within me!
So I decided to take a leap of faith into the unknown. I ventured down the woo woo path of psychedelic medicine, psychotherapy and massive amounts of meditation. I dive deep on the podcast into the journey of my first ever headache, my internal struggles dealing with it and most importantly the lessons I took from undergoing a series of psychedelic ceremonies and rituals.
