    • From Caravan to Exit: The Struggles That Built a Founder | Jacques Greeff
      Aug 17 2025

      He grew up sleeping on bricks in a tent extension of a caravan — and turned that raw struggle into a life of building and exiting companies.


      From bankrupt parents filleting fish in New Zealand to bootstrapping a tech platform out of the printing business, this is the story of resilience, obsession, and choosing struggle as a way of life. In this conversation, the masks come off: money raised too early, founders eating tuna and rice for years, and the real cost of chasing KPIs.


      Key Episode Highlights:


      From signboards to tech platforms — how a “boring” problem created a powerful business


      Why bootstrapping teaches lessons no VC cheque ever could


      The brutal caravan childhood that forged founder resilience


      Struggle meals, scams, and survival abroad


      Honouring family sacrifices while building something bigger


      Why business becomes identity — and the richest version of life


      The crossroads of raising VC vs. keeping control


      Why monetisation is the ultimate validation test


      100 true fans vs. 500,000 free users


      Tall poppy syndrome, Gen Z ambition, and thinking differently in Australia

    • What It Really Takes to Chase Olympic Gold – Josh Katz Unfiltered
      Jul 21 2025

      He lost in the first round at the Olympics, on camera, and cried. Now he’s chasing a medal with nothing left to lose.


      Josh Katz is no stranger to pain. After reconstructive knee surgery and ten months away from competition, he’s back, mentally sharper, emotionally lighter, and physically primed. But this episode isn't just about rehab and comeback. It’s a raw dive into what it really costs to pursue greatness. Josh opens up about missing life outside the mat, building a mentorship business with his brother, and why hard work isn’t enough to guarantee success. This isn’t inspiration. It’s reality.


      Key Episode Highlights:

      • Why losing early at the Olympics might’ve saved his career

      • How rehab forced him to face what he’d sacrificed, and what he wanted back

      • The brutal truth about effort: “Working hard is the bare minimum”

      • Inside the subjective politics of Olympic selection

      • Why some athletes thrive without goals, and others can’t survive without them

      • The surprising camaraderie inside an individual combat sport

      • What makes a coach actually credible (hint: not medals)

      • Why he avoids coaching elite athletes… for now

      • Starting a business to teach resilience, while still chasing his own

      • The most honest answer he gives students chasing “impossible” dreams

    • Rewiring your Subconscious thoughts | Karim Boktor
      Jul 6 2025

      He couldn’t speak, read, or believe in himself — now he’s rewiring minds for a living.


      Karim, once a stuttering, overweight kid with undiagnosed learning disorders, is now a world-class peak performance coach using advanced hypnosis to reprogram limiting beliefs. From working in high-pressure surgical sales to mentoring elite athletes and entrepreneurs, Karim’s transformation is staggering — and in this raw, live hypnotherapy session, he turns the mic on Nick for a confronting, breakthrough experience that redefines what it means to take radical responsibility.


      Key Episode Highlights:

      • The belief that almost destroyed Karim’s life — and how he rewired it.
      • What it really means to take radical responsibility (and why most people get it wrong).
      • Why we unconsciously adopt limiting beliefs as kids — and how they shape our future.
      • The moment Nick confronts his own transactional mindset live on air.
      • Karim’s framework for spotting subconscious blind spots in 5 questions.
      • Why the most successful people in the world all share one trait: they act.
