“Tasmania is the only state I haven't been to in Australia, but as a whole, the quality of the food... our farming and the soil that we have and just the environment for production of crops and meat is very good. And then, yeah, it's very, sometimes I find in America, it's like you've got to kind of source out the good quality spots or the healthier spots, if that's what you're into, where I feel like in Australia, it's very health conscious demographic and environment.”

“I'm a gym owner, an entrepreneur, an athlete. And I guess like, yeah, what I would classify as, yeah, somewhat of a hybrid athlete, more so in the fact that not only do I like lift and run, but I like to do it all. And I think we'll get into it in a little bit, but yeah, one of the reasons I was so attracted to BPN and your leadership style is the ability to do multiple things. And I guess I'm trying to kind of create my own path down under and impact people in a positive way.”

“I left, I'd worked at a bunch of different gyms just as a trainer, and was kind of building experience and finding my own style in my own way. And eventually I decided, hey, I feel like I've got a knack for this. I'm going to kind of go out my own and do my own thing, but I wanted to start small, just do one-on-ones and through that one-on-one, I was able to really refine my craft and have pretty good impact on my clients. And the word kind of spread a little bit.”

“But I think for me, just being around the BPN team has probably been the highlight. I feel like I've got really good connections and relationships here, and it's hard living across the other side of the globe to have many touch points throughout the year. But having nearly a month here all up has just been... And having where you're not necessarily on a tight schedule the whole time, where you're having to go from event to meeting to whatever, has just allowed for some really good connection to come through.”

“This year, we are now a qualifier for Bigg's Backyard, which is the world championship of backyard racing. So, the people who perform very well here will go perform on the world stage months later. It's anyone's win. You know, like, I think a lot of times with these races, people try to predict the top three to five runners, and you never know who's going to show up and who's going to have a good day and who's going to have a bad day.”
