Well what you gonna do when Shayne Brian and Steve get together, it’s fun, it’s authentic and it is still deep. Steve finds out how Shayne has pulled through the issue of trust, after it being broken and busted by a mate. It is how we perceive the effects of being let down so badly, and whether we carry that with us, or learn from it and move on.

Moving on now. What great saying. We can all move on. Our life has so many unexpected turns to take and it is so exciting, when you are present enough, to make the most of all of them.

There are so many people you have not met yet, that you will say “ I love you “ , to. That is a fact.

Taking lessons from our experience is not a secret, but all those that can do it, will benefit.

Shayne has experienced all the above and is still laughing….

And to finish off with another cliché, we have so many, that the best revenge, is to live your best life.

Cody McAuliffe shares the moment that the thought of the easy way out, flashed through his mind at an intersection. Lucky for us, Cody is here to instruct us how to shift to next gear, light the wheels up and accelerate to a fulfilling life. Cody has a way of communicating the mechanics of being present. Cody and Steve drive together, to pass you the tools for navigating the shortest route, to your destiny. Connection, family, honesty, emotional intelligence and being present is what this conversation provides. We know it all sounds simple, but once we experience a little touch of those moments, where we notice the difference these things help us. That is when you will thank Cody. That is what this Mateshop Podcast is all about, the road trip to nirvana for some. It will evoke a few questions, and present some answers. You choose, when you take the off ramp. Your choices put you in the lane you are in, changing lanes is totally up to you and it is up to all the people in your life, to accept and join the ride, or not.

Marc and Steve go on a journey into a dark place of international human trafficking. But Marc has a solution for that, where the story starts with a couple of mates forming a bond over a hatred for people taking advantage of the poor and weak. Some of Marc’s mates have formed an organisation that goes incognito in third world countries to bust international child trafficking rings. Destiny Rescue is a formidable team of ex-army personnel that help local and federal authorities become aware of what is happening in their own back yard. Marc shares the special feeling of being a part of changing a child’s life from misery, to hope and freedom. He knows how good that is for your heart, to feel that huge glow when you see a life changing moment. He tells us how the fear in the eyes of a young slave, dissipates before him, when a rescue goes through and the child has a realisation, that their destiny has been changed. The story of Mates getting together and pulling this off is an amazing one. It will change your life and is part of the reason the Mateshop was formed. Marc’s inspiration is in the veins of The Mateshop, not only as one the founding members, but the reason we are raising money for the Destiny Rescue team. The Mateshop Merch sales and Fundraising are a stream for the charity and the inspiration for our members to give back to the communities and children around the world.https://www.destinyrescue.org.au/
