A discussion about masculinity. Each episode will talk to a guest about their life, their role models and influences growing up, relationship with male family members and other mentors. It will also discuss their view on the state of masculinity in Australia and around the world and how we can make things better.
This episode is my views on the current debate around changing the date of Australia Day and the wider issues impacting the indigenous population in Australia today.
This is a complex and nuanced issue and I welcome feedback. Have a think, maybe have a discussion with your family. Let's be better.

Episode 9 - Carlos Cline - Whatever you do be the best at it
This episode was recorded in Cambrils Spain at Renzo Gracie Spain with the owner and head coach Professor Carlos Cline. In the episode Carlos talks about growing up in Newark, New Jersey and the male characters in his neighborhood that influenced him as he grew up. From there we discuss the influence of school coaches and how he ended up at the genesis of Renzo Gracie's in New York.
Carlos was a fantastic guest, and we could have talked for ten hours. If you like BJJ this is a must listen and even if you don't there is a lot to take away from this discussion.
