  1. You for sharing all of your wisdom and learnings. I'm continuing to be inspired by you. I can't wait to see what you achieve in the next few years. Now go and get your moonshit. Go and build a rock

  2. It's been a pleasure, mate. And I really do enjoy your podcast. I take little nuggets from it. I think you're always sharing a positive message. So keep doing it. It's good to see that you're growing and building. And I hope this episode does really well for you.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  3. I know that that moment will come where I feel like I still need to be doing what I'm good at and still need to be reconnecting. And that is my energy. And I didn't have that. I was really lost and confused until 25. I came back from this trip to America. I started to become a personal trainer. And it was like, I just knew in that moment this is what I was going to do. And I've just put all my energy and love into it since. So yeah, let's see what we can do in 2021.

  4. And so they climb up That is the goal, mate, and it's so lovely to hear you say that. And I do believe that we have a purpose and we have an energy inside us. And I bumped into this guy once on the street in London and he was really, I think he was a shaman of some sort. And he basically put his hand on my shoulder. He does my workouts. And he's like, there's something about you. Like, you've got an energy. There's something pushing you forward, isn't there? It's more than views and fame and numbers that there's something inside. I said, yeah, like there is. It's this energy that is constantly like, just go and film the workout. I know you're tired, but do it. And it's that thing of giving. I'm my happiest when I'm giving and sharing. And the minute I stop that, even if I sell the bodycoach, you know.

  5. I said, I don't think I'm going to achieve anything in my life that's going to have more impact. Because there may never be another lockdown and there may never be like 80 million people in their living room doing my workouts again. But you were like, Joe, don't be silly. There's something else. There's something there has to be. Like if you don't, you're going to lose it. You're going to lose motivation. So, yeah, you said the thing about the moonshot. Like, imagine eradicating, you know, whatever it may be, like going for that real Steve Steve Jobs or Bill Gates vision of changing the world. Exciting. It might never happen, but at least have a crack.

  6. I love that people are actually doing those workouts. It's 15 minutes of my time, but it's helping someone really transform their day. And so I'll continue to push that mission, which is to get people moving. And if it's one person a day, it's enough sometimes.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  7. I'm getting it now though. I'm getting it now because, like I said, I've always had two books a year, I've had a DVD out, I've had merchandise, pots and pans, you know, protein stuff. I've always had something. But actually now I know I need to just chill out and take some time off because I can't, I don't want to be hammered. I don't want to be selling stuff to people all the time. I want to just get back to my free content, what I'm good at, what I start, you know, the organic stuff that I genuinely started doing in the beginning, because that's when I'm happiest, when I'm getting millions of views on my YouTube channel, I love that.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  8. Yeah, I know. I mean, like making show me the music. Me and Nicky got mad like goosebumps just listening to the music you're going to play. But yeah, you've got loads of heady. I think it's important to just have these months where you go, I'm not everywhere at the moment, but I know in six months I've got this great project and there's your moment to bloom. And that's kind of where my head's at now, rather than like, come on, what should we do now? Let's do another this. Let's do more of this. I'm like, it's okay to be not busy and not be successful for a few months.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  9. Yeah, it's nice to slow things down. I think the lockdown's helped us just think we don't need to be on this hamster all the time. Like it's all right a few months of the year, like you said, you know, nothing in nature blooms all year around. You can have a couple of quiet months because you know, you know, your event didn't happen. I really wanted to be at that event in Manchester, but I'm hoping that happens. I need to come.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  10. And last year, I'd say. Have you got the hustle now? Could you like go back and do the 11 months on the road? No, no, no. I remember you used to always be in the airport, always rolling that little wheelie thing around. It must be like no matter how much money you're making, how much you're building, there must be an element of loan in this and that exhaustion where you think I just need to be settled in one place and now you're in London that you're sticking about or are you going to hit the road again?

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  11. Yeah, that's what he said. And I went home and I was thinking the same. I said, Nikki, I love that. I love that idea of a moonshot. What's our moonshot? And he's like, well, our moonshot is that we build the body coach and we have an exit so that someone comes along and buys it and it continues to flourish for years to come. Because otherwise it's like Mr. Motivator. I smashed it in the 80s or 90s, whatever it was. And I would have just been the body coach, the Mr. Motiv this time. Unless I build it to sell and I build it to sustain itself and grow and continue to help people. And that's really where my head's at now. I think I've had a shift in my mentality towards that.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  12. This is Moonshot. I hadn't heard that before that term moonshot is nice because it's like, Joe. So big. Don't just do something you know you can do in six months. Do something you think will take you 20 years.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  13. So when you exit and, you know, or even before that, you've been financially secure for a long time, has your motivation dropped or increased? Because at the moment, I'm feeling quite demotivated, but I'm more excited by the legacy and the potential of like building the bodycoach to a point that in 20 years time I can look back when I'm a bit older and go, I started that, I created that company. That's still going. Did you find yourself?

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  14. Zoom or Onoba and having a meal with my friends. I didn't have that kind of flashy kind of nightclub vibe. But, you know, at the time, the thing is, at that time, that was what you wanted to do at that time. You don't do it now. And I think if you had fun, like, it's good. It's all good. But yeah, money

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  15. I'm still doing it. I suppose you were like the facilitator. You were the fun house. Exactly. You brought people together and you can have the fun. And I think, you know, maybe if I had a bit of money at that time, maybe I would have done those things. Because I do, I mean, my thing now is going to a nice restaurant. So I love going to like...

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  16. But I bet people around you changing because they knew Steve had the dough and you were then all the girls who come over. I was

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  17. Your ego in flake because I can imagine when you said about I used to go to like China white and punk and like you know and I never had money I was skint I was a university kid I had like 20 quid in my pocket I'd be in there on a freebie but I imagine if you had money at that time you'd be the one with the bottles spraying it about and all the lights and all the girls come with the big flares is that what you were like did it inflate your egos spend more money

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. Stuff like that. So, yeah, money allows it, it just allows freedom, it's less stress. And money was always something we always argue about. I think maybe my marriage, I'll be honest, is easier because we don't argue about money. And maybe your mum and dad used to argue about money, like school uniform, the new trainers you wanted, the school trip you wanted to go. I remember going on a school trip was really hard for my mum and dad. We couldn't afford to do the school trip sometimes. And, you know, they would always work really hard and it would, you know, sometimes I did, sometimes I didn't. So I think having a bit more money in the bank means there's less pressure on you as a person and therefore you can sort of, you can go through life a bit easier.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  19. So it definitely allowed me to have more freedom and to take care of my family. I think I'm not someone who has been successful and left people behind. That would make me seriously unhappy. I've helped my brother out. I've helped my dad. You know, I got my mum out of house. We've done amazing holidays together with all the boys. They know I'm there if they need me. And that's a nice feeling. But yeah, the question is around motivation around money as well. I feel like as time's gone on, I've become less motivated by it. And I remember that story said about you're up here and you could have run downstairs and centre email and got 20 grand. I have days of that too where I think I could go and do another Gusto post and 10,000 people might sign up or I could go and film another workout and it could get 2 million views. And when I feel like that, I have to remind myself of why I do what I do and that mission thing about there's someone at the end of that YouTube video just waiting for a new workout and they live in Scunfort when they've got no money in their proper skin and they're waiting for the workout and I remind myself

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. So it was a nice way of, and like with my followers, it was a nice gradual thing. I didn't just jump off of Love Island with 2 million followers and have money thrown at me. And I think that does affect your ego differently. And I think anyone that's young that gets thrown into the media with money.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  21. It's that thing of, you know, we talk about, you know, freedom of time and like, you know, owning, yeah, I've always been about time and being with friends and family. So for me, it's like it's removed a lot of stress. Because when I was a kid, I remember money was a stressor. Like, you know, we had, we never had food in the house, so my mum would have to go to my nan's and we'd have to get like borrow punts of milk and like running next door. You know, when you're on a council state, it was quite common. You'd go and ask for a pint of milk or a couple of, I remember asking for like a bag of sugar for our cereal and stuff. So I didn't have any money growing up. And, you know, I was on school dinners. My mum was on benefits. So it was all like Iceland two for one, buy and get them free. It was crap food and that affects things as well. You know, the food you're eating. But I suppose for me, when I started to make money, it was a gradual thing. I didn't win the lottery and wake up of a million pounds. You know, I released my online plan and one person signed up. And then it was 10 and it grew and it was gradual.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  22. It's always uncomfortable. It's just awkward. Even when articles come out, like, Joe buys this much, you know, this million pound house, it's like, why is that important? But I just know that people are obsessed, aren't they? So ask what you want to ask, and I'll be honest.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. So, I'm not making decisions. Unless you're on your close friends list. I'm so glad I'm on that. That's why I get through on Nice Villas.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. The self esteem, and sometimes that's irreversible, and you could be like a young teenager that has an eating disorder, you know, all through your life or Is binging or undereating, or not respecting your body, and that can really stem from how you feel about yourself, right? So I try and use my social media to obviously promote healthy food and fitness. That's a positive part of social media. And I think your content's positive. I think some of the quotes that you share, you know, like the 10 things and all these little, sometimes I read when I go, bang, wow, like it's just a nice little light bulb moment. So you're using it for positive. And we have to just always focus on that, focus on the people that are bringing the good stuff out of it.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. Our brain tells you that. And I feel that myself sometimes when I watch that show, the Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, did say all of the guys that created the products, that created the like buttons, all those people said, my kids aren't on social media. And that's the alarm bell. It's like saying, you know, it's like that joke of, you know, I wouldn't trust an eye surgeon who's wearing glasses. Like, I'm getting eyes ladies on Saturday, by the way. But like they say, you know, don't, you know, if that person that created it and that does it every day is saying to you, like, get your kids off social media, it's not good for their mental health. And that is what it is. It's not about...

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. Yeah, do you know, even I actually, when you come to say that, I sort of feel the same, I'll be like, I don't know, I don't need that, you know, the waggy one because I'm happy with a 20-pound one in the middle or whatever. Yeah, you're right.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. Yeah, that's my life. Yeah. And it is, and it's that comparative thing, and it It happens to me like I follow a lot of Instagram accounts, and my Explore page is basically like motorbikes or it's fitness models. And it's like because I'm in that kind of atmosphere and that world. And it does used to think, oh, these guys are in such good shape. You know, I'm looking a bit skinny. I'm a little bit podget. Whoever you are, you still start to compare yourself. Oh, God, it affects your confidence. Whether you know it stuff constantly or not. And, you know, I wish I was more tanned. I wish I was on holiday. I wish I had a bit more muscle. I wish I wasn't so skinny or I wish I didn't have a little bit of body fat out of my tummy this year because you're just bombarded with these visual representations. So yeah, I think that in that effect, it almost like you can't really stop that. If you're looking at it all the time, you can't. It's almost like you have to just unfollow some of those accounts. You said, didn't you? You said like unfollow the accounts that don't serve you.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  28. It's like a trade off, isn't it? It's like if you want to have this success and have this amazing life and also reach millions of people, the only way you can do that is social media. It's not TV. It's not radio. It's social media. So it has its pros and cons. But I hope that we kind of, we can somehow learn to control this mental health epidemic that we've got going on with social media and the narcissism of Instagram. I just hope that we sort of go, actually, you know what? That was cool in 2010 and 2020, but maybe now let's be more humble. Let's just be kinder and let's like share useful content. Do you know what I'm trying to say?

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. 100% no if I have if I could have my life without social media like I have an unhealthy relationship with it and I you know I watch the social dilemma on Netflix and I was like I cannot believe how addicted we are how these devices are so well designed I would I wish me Rosie and and the kids weren't on social media but I know I wouldn't have been the bodycoach PJ wouldn't happen so it's almost this like

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. Oh, I don't know. I had this dilemma with Rosie, you know, when I was bringing out my cookbook, my weaning 15 books, so I got a book deal and I was genuinely enjoying that journey. I was learning to wean indy for the first time. I didn't know what to do. I was working with a nutritionist. And I shared so much, you know, we got 50,000 pre-orders and I worked hard for them pre-orders because I shared everything. I shared the dinner. It was camera at breakfast. It was camera at lunch. It was Indy. Do you like that, darling? Do another one of them. So I shared so much in order to have that success. But now I've kind of, I just don't want the phone out during dinner time. So I'm producing less content. I'm not producing as much recipe stuff because I want to have that time just with us. And I used to just film every gusto recipe, every recipe was on Instagram. So, yeah, I've had to sort of step back a little bit. And there's no way you're going to keep your kids on social media. It's just whether they're 10 or 15, they're going to eventually get it.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. That's fun. It's amazing. So I'm not missing out on these moments. Although I'm really busy, I'm also optimizing my time with them as well, if you know what I mean.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. Dinner time, bath time, but story time. I love it. It's like my routine. And once they're down, I can go back to work or, you know, watch a film. But it's having little moments like that, just having that structure so that you don't feel like you've missed out and you ask them how their day's been. And Indy's favorite thing is like she loves cooking and she loves doing her handwriting. And so even just running in there and doing 10 minutes with handwriting with her. I mean, she's two years old and she's doing the alphabet. She's got like these dots. You follow the dots. And just seeing her with a shaky hand till like now a month later she's banging out the A to Z and it's like immaculate.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  33. I think the reason is because most traditional businesses like if you're a grafter like Eddie Hearn always on the road always around the world you know footballers again away every weekend they're training their you know traveling the world musicians away from their family and it's hard for like you know stability and so they do sacrifice a lot for that fame and success whereas my fame and success has come through an iPhone in my kitchen so I've really even before lockdown I filmed all my workouts at home so I have a great balance where I can do what I'm doing and be successful, but also leave my phone for two weeks and go away and not worry about it or I can put my phone down. I spend quality time with my kids every day. I'm adamant about that. So I do breakfast. I make them breakfast every day. I have two and a half hours. So between like five and 7.30 where I don't have my phone and I do.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  34. A party, but I wouldn't regret, yeah, I just really wouldn't. I think it's a shame to live your life like that, you know, regretting and wishing. Childhood was different, wishing you. And I've got friends that kind of live in that mindset. I've always looking back and almost thinking about a moment in time, if they just stand it differently, they were like life would have been different today. But you can't think like that. You can't get stuck between the future and the past, can you? Because that's really, really depressing. Whereas if you actually just think, look, I've done what I've done, even the bad things and the times I wasn't nice or disrespectful, I learned from it, and today I'm a better person for it.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  35. I really wish I had like this long list of bucket things that I wish I'd done, but I've always, even when I was at university, like I would go traveling in my half term, my summer holidays, I always, I've always maximized life to at that moment in time. I've never kind of regretted or like missed out on things. I've always travelled with my friends. I've always, you know, done the things I want. So if I had a week left on earth, I wouldn't really regret anything. I'd be proud. I'm proud of what I've achieved in this short time. I'm 35. I feel like I've been good. I've done some good things. I'd probably bring everyone together and throw my wedding party again because my wedding day was wicked. Your best friends and all your mates and we had a fun fair and we had all the food and we were dancing. And I think I'll try and recreate that if I knew I had seven days. I'd get everyone together and say, look, it's my last week, come down, let's have another blowout.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  36. I think the opioid, I think, is it opioids, antidepressants? I think opioid, I think antidepressants are like opioids or amphetamines. It's one of them. It's like it's basically the drug that you do not want to be taking in a very small dose, but over time it can generate real addiction. And you see it in America, like the prescription drug addiction over there is really destroying people's lives over there.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. Yeah, I mean, it was sometimes takes a little bit longer to integrate. You have the experience and it was in a very controlled room, like it's in a proper clinical setting. So you're in a hospital room and they're holding your hand and talking through it. And I'm not sure the exact dosage, but he got blasted with a decent dose of psilocybin. And yeah, you know, he saw some things and it unlocked a little bit of trauma and some visual stuff. Really hard stuff, and they're getting blasted with antidepressants, which are very addictive, and it's like morphine, isn't it? It's like it's not even like good for you. It's a very, very addictive.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  38. Yeah, I would be up for it. I mean, it's a real person. It's like personal growth. You read a lot of books. I'm not well read. I wish I had more patience and more time. Well, I wish I had more. Commitment and discipline to reading, but I do. I'm drawn to it, and it always almost they say it will call you. Like, my dad's done an ayahuasca ceremony in Wales, and he said, it just calls you, like the plant, mother nature, like you'll have a calling one day and it'll be like, I'm ready. At the moment, we're just sort of experimenting with the idea of it.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  39. You can unlock really beautiful memories and amazing things, but it can also show you quite traumatic, upsetting things. But either way, like you can learn from it, I think.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  40. Yeah, so he experienced child abuse. He literally didn't remember it and he had this vision and all these memories of being abused and it completely opened up his mind. He's now obviously sharing about it. But that was like something. So it's quite in a way you don't know what you're unlocking.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  41. It opens up. So, what they say is it opens up like neurological pathways that maybe all these memories locked. Did you hear the Tim Ferris podcast? He said, like, he'd done an ayahuasca ceremony, or maybe it was psilocybin. And he had this vision of trauma that came through that he completely blocked out.

    2020-12-14 · The Diary of a CEO · Joe Wicks on Addiction, Childhood Trauma, Depression And World Domination · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  42. Yeah, it's been shown to really help with addiction and depression and trauma from that. So, yeah, I suppose I wonder what the experience like for us who maybe we're not depressed and we're not anxious. I wonder what that experience would be like. But yeah, you know, I listen to a lot of podcasts. You know, Tim Ferris is big on it. Rogan, Rogan, you know, and yeah, it's this kind of, it feels like this scary thing, but I suppose because it's been going on for thousands of years, we've kind of tribes and it's not some dirty chemical drug that's been manufactured in the lab. I think it...

  43. For the psilocybin. So, my dad was involved in the trials at the Imperial College London. He's involved. He was basically one of the not the guinea pigs, but yeah, it was a trial between psilocybin, a placebo, and an antidepressant drug. And obviously the studies come back that like, this can really help. And it's a natural product from the earth. So, yeah, I can see that growing in the next few years for sure when it gets a pretty, has it been approved in the US for like...

  44. That feeling, but yeah, you've talked about it. Have you, I mean, I was in Mexico and Tulum and they were doing like POT ceremonies out there and I just couldn't quite convince enough to do it. But I would love to do ayahuasca one day, like go proper into the Amazon, do it properly with a shaman. And feel that mother nature that they talk about, that feeling of like the earth and they're connected to the human race. It must be a wonderful feeling.

  45. Know why? I'm just, I listen to your podcast, I listen to certain people that do it, and I'm drawn to it because of that gateway and open up that even more love and more connection when you realize we're all so interconnected. And obviously you can meditate for 10 years or you can go and do an Ayrosca ceremony and apparently you get, it's like a fast track.

  46. So, yeah, I've had it once, and I think if I feel like I need it, I'd be open to it. I've got a lot of friends that do it. It's like I see it as personal training for the mind, isn't it? It's like, why not? Why not take care of your brain and your heart and your mind? And that can be done through therapy. So I'm open to it. I just haven't felt, I haven't had the calling. I'm more interested in, I really like the idea of doing an ayahuasca ceremony

  47. I was 19 when I met that girl. I was backpacking, I was in a bar in Australia. You're very different 10 years later. So maybe there can be such a thing as a relationship that's really great at a certain time in your life. But then when it's not right and it isn't working, having a child and marrying that person is definitely the wrong thing to do. And I didn't really realize that until I met Rosie just how unhappy I probably was in that last relationship.

  48. I call it the gym, but yeah, I think my therapy from a kid, and I look back like for sure, like I was stressed, I didn't want to go home, I would be always out the house, always playing sport. I think it was my therapy and I dealt with things through sport. And maybe that's why I became the bodycoach, but I think I had one therapy session with a counsellor at once because I was basically in a relationship I didn't want to be in and I needed to talk to someone about it. And I had that session and I just spoke and verbalized everything I was going through. And it was almost like just by saying I was like, I know I need to walk away from this now. And I went home and that was it. So it was an investment. It was like an hour of my time. I spoke to someone because it wasn't my mum who's invested, my dad who was invested. It wasn't her parents and my friends who really cared about her. It was like a completely neutral person. And it really helped because it changed the direction of my life because I left a relationship I wasn't happy in. I met Rosie. I got married and I had kids.

  49. Who is it? No one's a unique, really. No one's completely perfect because when you're in a relationship, you want the other person to do everything like you and it be interesting the same things you like Rosie's not into motorbikes but I go out of my brother and my little my little brother George and my dad so I kind of get I scratch that itch and I come back and then I spend time with Rosie and the kids so it's really about finding the needs that you need as a human being

  50. It is hard. I'm the same. I find it hard to say sorry in the moment, but I do if I go away for a little half an hour, an hour, have a walk or do a workout, I do come back and I go, I was a bit disrespectful there. I do apologise. But yeah, it's an ego thing. It's like you just got to let your guard down. One thing I say about relationships, which I really think is valuable, I can't remember why I heard it or I read it, but it was about you can be in a relationship with someone and this expectation thing where you want them to do everything perfect and be everything in one and be like this amazing like just like unicorn, right? But you might find them really attractive and really funny, but intellectually they just don't challenge you. You can't have conversations about what they don't understand you, but you can ring me or Nikki and we you can.
