Today, we want to introduce a very, very special guest. The man we have on is a man who spent the majority of his early 20's travelling the globe, connecting with different cultures and experiencing the most bizarre places, and now, with his lovely wife, Mel, he runs a business called The Mandala Project that aims to develop the youth of the local community through experiential learning on self-improvement camps.
Jackson participated in one of these programs just over a month ago, and over that time has grown to see how influential, smart, funny, and all-rounded Nicho is.
But we won't talk him up too much, listen now to be gripped by his amazing story.

Today, the boys discuss the importance of your mindset.
When you experience the inevitable struggles of the path of success, the strength of your mindset is what will keep you going. It is a crucial step in self-improvement that too many people ignore.
We also discuss simple 'brain hacks' that we use to stay in a positive mood, because that's where we want to be.
Note: Please understand that when we recommend tricking your brain into being positive, we are not saying you should push down and ignore the negative emotions. Negative emotions are a part of the human experience, and they should be felt. We only recommend recognising the negative emotions and doing something to fix them.

Today, we discuss porn addiction. It is arguably the most common and harmful addiction and yet, no one is talking about it! As young men we have to admit that we've struggled with this addiction ourselves, so we draw upon our personal experiences to give real advice on quitting porn.

P.S. We had some technical issues during editing and lost the final 10 minutes or so of the episode, so there's no outro, but to see our discussion that we had about discipline, it will be live on our Instagram right now!
Today, we discuss modern society's push for sexualising accessible content such as movies and music, and how this plays a harmful effect on younger generation's development and sense of the world. Furthermore, we discuss the 'Homerisation' of modern families, where popular TV shows, such as The Simpsons and Family Guy portray the father, the male role model, as a bumbling, overweight simpleton, which creates a flow on effect into our homes.
Reject modernity.

Today, we talk all things Christmas and New Year's resolutions. We also get quite carried away with many side tangents such as Aric and Josh's hatred of the school system, men competing against women in boxing, the Liver King controversy and much more. We genuinely forgot there was a mic today so tune in for some classic lad's chat.
But, despite the side tangents, we want to make sure that you get the best start to your year, so we discuss the way we set our goals so that they are well defined and thus easier to achieve, as well as sharing our own personal goals for year 1 (not 2023, this will make sense after listening).
Before you click play, from the whole team at The Friday Boys, we want to thank every single one of you that has listened over the year and given us much love and support. Every single one of you, even the listeners in Portugal (we see you tuning in), make this possible and you mean more than the world to us. Happy holidays from TFB.

Today, we sit down with another genuine friend of the show, the big man himself, Elias Valatiadis. We discuss various aspects of gym and content creation as well as dishing out some friendly banter with this legend. We always love chatting to this bloke, so we let the episode go a little longer than usual (It's also our way of saying sorry for missing an upload last week).
From all of us here at The Friday Boys, we wish you a very Merry Christmas, make sure you stay present and connected with the people around you because those are the most important people in your life, the hours with them should not be spent by watching some pixels on your phone but rather connecting with your family
