The Pocket with Chris Griffin – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome to episode 30 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

I sit down with Timothy Smith today, the familiar face from Married at First Sight (MAFS), who shares a gripping and emotional journey that goes far beyond reality TV.

Tim opens up about a time in his life when he was involved in illegal activities, including flying a helicopter without a license and trafficking weed from Canada into the U.S. His risky decisions caught up with him, leading to his arrest and time behind bars. 

But the challenges didn’t stop there. While in jail, Tim faced heartbreaking losses—his mother passed away, and soon after, his brother took his own life.

Despite these devastating experiences, Timothy found a way to turn his life around. Appearing on Married at First Sight was one of those things that helped change the trajectory of his life.

I loved this one. Shout out to my mum for telling me about Tim. She wouldn’t shut up about how amazing he was and that I had to have him on the show.

Enjoy fam!

Welcome to episode 29 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

Today I’m joined by two of my really good friends, Jordan and Zac Stenmark, who are not just the largest twin male models in the world but also remarkable individuals with an inspiring story.

We dive into their sporty upbringing and the challenges they faced growing up with dyslexia. Jordan and Zac candidly share their experiences of being bullied at school for not being able to read, making school life a constant struggle. Jordan referred to these times in the episode as “terror”. Despite these difficulties, they turned their challenges into the drive that led them to where they are today.

I’ve known Jordan and Zac for years, and we used to catch up every morning over coffee at our favourite cafe in Bondi, The Depot. Our conversations often drifted into deep, interesting topics, and this episode felt like a continuation of those daily chats.

I loved this one fam and I hope you do too!

Welcome to episode 23 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

In this episode, I’m sitting down with the ultimate power couple, Meg and Will Martin. Their story is a blend of love, resilience, and incredible achievements that you won't want to miss. I was blown away by these. In fact, I resonated so much with their story and phase of life they’re in right now.

Will became a millionaire at just 24 years old, working alongside his brother. However, life took a dramatic turn when he had a major falling out with his family. Choosing to give up everything, Will started from scratch, navigating the challenges of rebuilding his life. Adding to the complexity, his family didn't like Meg and blamed her for the fallout.

Despite the family drama, Meg and Will stood by each other, proving that their bond is unbreakable. Their journey is a testament to their strength and love.

On a different note, Meg and Will recently clinched the title of best couple in the world at the Hyrox fitness competition. If you haven't heard of Hyrox, it's a hugely popular fitness competition that tests both physical and mental endurance. Their win showcases their dedication and teamwork in the fitness world.

In this episode, we explore their journey, discussing the highs and lows, the importance of doing everything together, and the challenges they faced along the way. Meg and Will share how they manage to keep their relationship strong despite the obstacles and what it means to be a true power couple.

This was a GOODIE fam. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Welcome to episode 22 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

In this episode, I chat with Adam Sullivan aka Cunnie aka the Top C, whatever you want to call him, the guy behind Evidence Based Training (EBT). Adam’s journey is wild – he went from struggling in Blacktown, Western Sydney, to building a fitness empire on the Gold Coast worth eight figures.

This episode was honestly insane. A different side of Adam you won’t find anywhere else. He went deep about things he has never shared before.

Be sure to stick around, it just gets better and better and the minutes go on!

Welcome to episode 21 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

Today I sit down with my great friend Ollie Moore, whose incredible journey took him from living in a country town in the UK to now living in the sunny Gold Coast in Australia. Initially, Ollie made the move as a way to escape his problems, but it turned out to be the best decision he ever made, transforming his life for the better.

Ollie has always been super into health and fitness but now his main focus is strength and endurance training, preparing for the Hyrox competitions he is competing in this year. 

We delve into the challenges he faced along the way, including the devastating loss of his two grandmothers, a painful breakup, and an injury that prevented him from training—the one thing he loves most.

Ollie opens up about how he managed to navigate these tough times and the valuable lessons he’s learned. We also discuss the concept of happiness and what it truly means to him, highlighting his journey from escaping his problems to finding his purpose and joy.

This was a great one fam! If you enjoy this show please be sure to leave us a good review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and share the podcast to your stories tagging @thepocketpodcast on Instagram.

Welcome to episode 20 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

I sit down with a good friend and absolute legend Diogo Giglio, one of the most positive and inspiring individuals I've ever met. Diogo's energy is simply infectious, and his story will leave you feeling uplifted and motivated, that’s a promise.

Diogo's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. At just 13 years old, he was kicked out of his home in Brazil because he refused to follow the strict religious beliefs of his family. Alone and determined, he moved from country to country, eventually immigrating to Australia, a country he'd never been to, and is building an incredible life for himself. Today, Diogo runs a highly successful construction and development company called GCD, and he shares his life with his loving partner, Alisha.

We delve deep into Diogo's story, exploring the challenges he faced and the triumphs he achieved along the way. Diogo opens up about his unique perspective on religion, discussing the difference between his strong connection to God yet his strong dislike to religion. He believes that religion was created to divide people and envisions a future where it no longer exists. Our conversation on this topic is thought-provoking and insightful.

Throughout the episode, we also touch on various topics we're passionate about, from personal growth to the power of positivity. Diogo's resilience and outlook on life are truly inspiring, and I'm sure his story will be eye opening to anyone who listens.

Welcome to episode 19 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!

We dive deep with Timm Hanly today, the founder of the fashion empire Front Runner. You may know Timm from his stint on The Bachelor, but his real story is much more compelling.

Timm opens up about his reckless youth and twenties, running amuck and getting into trouble. He shares his journey from being a wild kid to struggling with severe self-sabotage. 

Timm would reach moments of success only to destroy everything – his health, relationships, and finances – because he loved the climb back up. F**king crazy I know…

We also explore the incredible success of Front Runner, Timm's partnership with Adam Sullivan (aka EBT), and the profound impact his wife and newborn baby girl has on his life.

Some Key Topics:

• Timm’s wild and reckless youth.
• His time on The Bachelor and the facade he maintained.
• Struggles with self-sabotage and loving the climb out of rock bottom.
• The rise and success of Front Runner.
• Collaboration with Adam Sullivan (Evidence Based Training).

Welcome back to another episode of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

This episode is truly special. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Eugene Koning, a good friend, absolute legend and a breathwork facilitator at Saint Haven (one of my favourite places on earth). 

Eugene’s journey is one of the most inspiring I've ever heard. He moved from New Zealand to Holland to chase his rugby dreams but ended up getting caught in a whirlwind of partying and drugs.

Eugene was such a people pleaser, always doing things just to fit in, living a lie. One night, everything changed for Eugene. He found himself at a breaking point, which led him to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing through breathwork. 

Eugene's story is a testament to the power of resilience and transformation. Now, he dedicates his life to helping high achievers unlock their full potential through the incredible practice of breathwork.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• Eugene’s early days and his move to Holland for rugby
• The highs and lows of his party lifestyle
• The pivotal moment that sparked his journey into breathwork
• His incredible transformation and healing process
• How he now helps others as a breathwork facilitator at Saint Haven

This conversation is packed with raw honesty and deep insights. Eugene's energy is infectious, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite episodes ever. I didn’t want it to end!

Don’t miss out on this powerful and inspiring story. Tune in now and let Eugene’s journey inspire you to start your own path of self-discovery and healing.

Welcome back to another episode of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 

This week, we're diving deep into an incredible story with our special guest, Tom Noske.

First of all, Tom is an absolute legend and I am so inspired by his story. Tom is the opposite of me being super introverted, however he has pushed himself time and time again, and now he's out there posting content and helping others build their own online businesses.

In this episode, we talk about Tom's journey through life as well as building and launching his successful program, Time To Build. Tom's recent launch was a massive hit, raking in $500k AUD in just one month! And he's only looking to grow from here, with each launch building on the last.

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Tom opens up about his ongoing struggles with anxiety. Despite all his success, he still battles extreme anxiety and the overwhelming feeling of impending doom that can be triggered by the smallest negative thought. It's raw, it's real, and it's something many of us can relate to.

This conversation was one of the most authentic and heartfelt chats we've had on the podcast. We went deep, sharing Tom's story over a span of more than two hours. Trust me, you won't want to miss a second of it.

Tune in to hear how Tom has navigated his personal challenges while achieving incredible success. It's a story of resilience, vulnerability, and the constant journey of self-improvement.

Enjoy the episode, and don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you liked what you heard!
