In this episode, I’m joined by my good mate Ollie Moore, a hybrid athlete who’s on a mission to become the best in the world.  And when I say “all in,” I mean it… this guy is the walking, talking definition of it. Ollie opens up about what it truly means to back yourself 100%, the mindset shifts that come from sacrifice and self-discipline, and the unseen work that separates the good from the great.  We also talk about what belief really looks like, where it comes from, and how to protect your energy, your environment, and your dreams at all costs. There’s a raw honesty in this one. From building daily habits and letting go of distractions, to friendships, relationships, and training in complete silence and so much more.

Welcome to episode 58 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin. Today I sit down with 360, one of Australia’s biggest rappers. If you were into Aussie hip-hop in the early 2010s, you definitely knew his name. His album Falling & Flying blew up, and for a while, he was at the top of the game. But behind the success, things were falling apart. 360 has spoken before about his addiction to codeine, which got so bad he was taking up to 90 pills a day. It nearly killed him. In this chat, we go deep—not just into his rise and fall, but into the guilt and shame he still carries.  His parents think they failed him, but he insists they did nothing wrong. At one point, he completely broke down, sharing just how heavy it all still feels. This is one of the rawest episodes I’ve ever recorded. It’s about addiction, family, regret, the rise and fall of one’s career, the impact fame has on you, social media challenges and so, so, so, much more. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 57 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! In this episode, I sit down with my good mate Brad McDonnell, co-founder of Manna Vitality, to dive deep into life’s biggest questions.  What does it truly mean to be here? Why do we exist?  We unpack different ideologies, perspectives, and personal experiences around these questions—this one goes deep. One of the things that makes Brad unique is how he balances business and spirituality—two things that most people struggle to integrate. Usually, it’s one or the other, but Brad has managed to build a thriving business while staying grounded in his spiritual practices.  We get into how he found that balance, the challenges along the way, and what keeps him aligned in both areas. This conversation was raw, deep, and eye-opening. Whether you're someone chasing success, looking for more meaning in life, or just curious about different ways of thinking, this episode will leave you questioning everything (in the best way possible).

Welcome to episode 55 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! My guest today is Australian singer song writer and global touring artist, Ziggy Alberts.  We dove deep into his story from starting out as a busker, doing everything the opposite of the conventional way. He would be told he cant do something and he just wanted to prove them wrong and do what he truely wanted to do. It was very inspiring to chat about.  We also spoke about touring the world, surfing, what he does outside of his work and so much more.  Ziggy has a new album called New Love coming out on Friday this week.

Welcome to episode 54 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Noah Hunter Dorsey steps into the podcast world for the first time, and he’s not holding back. This is one of those stories that makes you rethink what’s possible. Noah isn’t just a guy with multiple 7-figure businesses—he’s someone who’s lived a lot of life. Before the success, before the crazy marketing wins, he hit rock bottom. No money. No direction, in a city he didn’t like, wondering what the hell was next. In a last-ditch effort to figure himself out, he packed a bag and took off on a two-month, soul-searching journey to India. No business plans. No clear path. Just a deep dive into self-discovery. That trip changed everything. When he got back to Melbourne, he went all in on building his own businesses. Hustling, failing, learning—until one day, the universe decided to throw him a lifeline in the wildest way possible. Out of nowhere, his phone rings. On the other end? Bianca Censori. Kanye West’s wife. And she’s got a proposition: handle the marketing for Yeezy. Noah takes it on and completely flips the script. He scales sales from $40K a day to a jaw-dropping $19 million in a single day—thanks to a perfectly executed Super Bowl ad. From sleeping on the floor to pulling in numbers most people can’t even dream of. This was a good one! I can’t wait for you to tune in.
