Dr Trevor Kashey, is a world leader in Nutritional Science where he holds a PHD in Biochemistry.

I first heard about Dr Kashey in the book ‘The Comfort Crisis’ by Michael Easter and I knew I had to get him on the show!

His amazing, unique and ultimately simple view on nutrition, coupled with his incredible understanding of human psychology is world class and something that we have never really seen before, which is why he’s getting the credit he deserves.

His approach was noticed by Azerbaijan Olympic Team when he was just finishing up his PHD and they quickly secured his services during their Rio campaign where he became an integral part of their system and this Olympics ended up being one of their most successful to date.

He is now back in his native USA where he runs his Nutritional Science company ‘Trevor Kashey Nutrition’ where he trains and coaches all walks of life in their nutritional, training & weight loss journey.

This was a great episode and I thoroughly enjoyed the many directions this chat went on, and the takeaways from it are incredibly valuable.

Paul Roos, is a former Professional AFL Footballer, 2005 Premiership Winning Coach, and Corporate Leadership Coach.

Paul has been talked about as one of the key people involved in turning around the fortunes of the Sydney Swans & Melbourne Demons during some pretty dark days both these clubs were facing at the time.

His person first, player second approach to coaching is a model that's still being replicated even to this day, and his impact on both these clubs are still very much felt.

He really 'gets' people and through his authenticity, and just being a good bloke, he seems to have the ability to get the best out of everyone that comes into contact with him.

This was a great episode and I thoroughly enjoyed where this chat went and the takeaways from it will stay with me for years to come.

Blake is a Lifestyle & Performance Coach that runs 3 companies within this space (MoMENtum, Limitless & Trybe).

Blake is a wealth of knowledge across many different areas and always has some gold nuggets of advice to say which will have a massive impact on the way we live our lives.

He's bought the t-shirt of life, experienced some pretty heavy shit, but he's always owned it, regrouped, stayed positive, bounced back, and because of this, he always ends up in a better place, and for that I will always respect him and where he is heading.

I've known Blake now for many years now and whenever we've caught up in the past, I've always left thinking that we should do this as a podcast one of these days, and the day has finally arrived.

In today's, episode we touched on his Training for his Ironman, how to find your identity and create more value in your life, the use of Psychedelics in a control setting for mental health, plus much more!
