#66: The ‘ALL IN’ Effect Will Transform Your Life… | Ollie Moore
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.

Known online for his physical strength and straight-talking mindset content, Benji opens up in a way most people haven’t seen before. This conversation dives deep into the emotional toll of heartbreak, the pressure of chasing success, and what it really means to rebuild your life when it all falls apart. It’s about more than fitness. It’s about identity, grief, personal power, and learning to find yourself again, piece by piece. Key Discussion Points: "Grieving someone who's still alive" – Benji shares the pain of losing a relationship he thought would last forever, and how it feels to mourn a future that never happened.

Moving to Australia alone – How leaving everything behind, including comfort and familiarity, forced Benji to step into a new version of himself. The illusion of success – He had the car, the house, the money—but still felt empty. What Benji discovered about happiness and why achieving goals can sometimes leave you feeling worse.

Challenge addiction – Benji reflects on his extreme world record attempt and the darker side of constantly chasing pain to prove your worth.

EP 63: Georgie Stevenson On Manifestation, Victim Mindset, Identity & The Power Of Being Real.
In this episode, Chris sits down with Georgie Stevenson - an entrepreneur, former lawyer and podcaster. Best known for co-founding Naked Harvest Supplements and hosting the Rise & Conquer podcast. Georgie opens up in a way she rarely has on other shows. This conversation goes deep. From spirituality to identity, ego, growth, and trauma, Chris and Georgie break open the surface and talk about the raw stuff that shapes who we really are. It’s a refreshing, honest, and vulnerable chat that left both of them reflecting long after the mics were off. Key Discussion Points: Manifestation with substance: Georgie redefines manifestation as a grounded, lifestyle-based practice - not just “wishful thinking.” Rewriting identity: Her journey from strict religious upbringing and partying teen to driven businesswoman and mother. Victim mindset vs. personal power: Why many people stay stuck - and how to flip that script. Authenticity and confidence: The cost of living for others’ opinions, and how being your true self builds real confidence. Relationships and growth: What 13+ years with her partner Tim have taught her about evolving with someone - not away from them.
