Champ Camp Two years ago I put out 'The People's Champ' EP (and now it's time to go again) Two years is a long time, but boy time flies when you're having fun! In mid 2022, after my long term relationship broke down, I saw an opportunity to rebuild myself. I had the time and space to fall in love with who I am. To find the self-love I had been frantically avoiding for so long. I took up boxing, started training hard, eventually had a fight. Through that process I gained so many skills and...

Sunday Sparring Life, Love, Loss and New Music (July Update) Hey gang Happy Sunday! There's a lot of moving parts to my life right now. Some good, some great, but all beautiful and necessary.

Sunday Sparring Relationships are like bank accounts (The art of reciprocity) Disclaimer: Take this post with a grain of salt because I have never saved for anything in my entire life, but based on my understanding of banks/finances, alongside how my more fiscally responsible friends speak, I am going to make a few assumptions along the way. I was having a nice quiet Sunday morning with my partner recently. Sitting down for a hearty home cooked breakfast, we began philosophising. Eventually...

Sunday Sparring The entitlement trap (Joe Rogan, 360 and the modern man) There is so much stuff in the world. Sometimes too much. I hear often about the lack of things available to modern men and women and although I am one of the blessed few with so much, I also can't comprehend this feeling. Or can I? Well, I can understand it. But I must admit, it is very hard to truly respect such a position. Let me explain. My life has been full of twists and turns. I have taken myself down some...

Sunday Sparring Be nice to everyone, you might just save a life For those playing along at home, I have been working in sales for a private health company since December. It's fun, fast-paced and genuinely enjoyable. But I do have sales targets, and this month I was performing below my targets by a long way. A long way. A long long loooooong way. Ok, it wasn't that bad, but pressure was mounting and I was in a race against the clock. You see after 4 great months to start my sales career I had...

Sunday Sparring Earning confidence and rebuilding your self-worth (with these 4 steps) Man do I love the sauna! I hit that every night! Straight from work to the gym and then home for a 20-30 minute sauna. There is not a more relaxing and revitalising way to finish the day. Last night in my wind down sauna sesh I ran into a buddy of mine and we had our usual sauna bro-down. He shared a recent experience that had him feeling a little low. Standing in a room full of "rich people" brought out...

Sunday Sparring Are you creating timestamps for your life? One of my all-time favourite sayings. "If not me, then who? If not now, then when?" It is a simple call to arms, a self-reflective commentary on one's duty or willingness to do the work. The saying has been reserved for big moments or moments of crisis. When the chips are stacked against a person or movement, it is a rallying cry to all those listening—responsibility and ownership of the outcome starts now, with us. I used the...

Sunday Sparring The best investment you will ever make (A short guide) "Reverence of your own mind and the value you give to it will make you acceptable to yourself." —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 6.16 Self-love is the most important investment we will ever make in our lives. I truly believe that. Seriously is there anything more valuable? The peace and sanctity that comes from a mind free of chaos and doubt—that is heaven on Earth. Consider the opposite for a second...

Sunday Sparring You become what you consume Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts. —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.16 You are what you eat. Or, more accurately—you reflect what you consume. This is true in almost every sense of the phrase: • Physically • Spiritually • Intellectually • Metaphorically Fitness experts will proclaim that ‘abs are made in the kitchen’, inferring that without the proper diet and balance of caloric intake,...
