The Pocket with Chris Griffin

Not really sure what just happened here… I’d explain, but I was out of my body. In 10 breaths, Luke Kohen sent me to another place. I started jumping around the floor while I was unconscious… Luke is a trauma expert, he heals high achievers from the ruts they evidently put themselves in from being a Type A, driven person constantly chasing the next thing. Key Discussion Points: The 10-breath experience that sent Chris into a natural DMT release The nervous system is a “tree” bridging body and spirit How unresolved trauma hides as twitches, jolts, and hypervigilance The dark tunnel we all go through Maybe going around Everest is better than climbing it?

Rory Sutherland is one of the world’s most fascinating thinkers in advertising and behavioral science. In this episode, he breaks down why logic often kills creativity, why the dumbest ideas (like Red Bull) end up making billions, and how consumer behavior makes no rational sense. From frozen yogurt lines to Airbnb’s unintended consequences, this conversation dives into the messy, illogical, and deeply human side of decision-making. We also had a whole lot of fun. Rory is one entertaining guy. Key Discussion Points Why logical decisions rarely lead to innovation Red Bull, frozen yogurt, and the psychology of “dumb” ideas Why entrepreneurs belong in casinos, not chess clubs How framing and emotion drive behavior more than facts Airbnb, matcha, and the paradox of things that shouldn’t work but do ANDDDD Much, much more Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Apply to work with Chris to build your podcast: https://thepodcastjungle.com/apply Chapters: 0:00 Rory on Australia & first impressions 6:15 Ice cream vs frozen yogurt psychology 12:42 Restaurants, failure & Darwinian innovation 18:55 Why luck beats logic in business 25:30 The Red Bull paradox 31:48 Bubble tea, matcha & strange consumer habits 38:22 Why Australians undervalue themselves 45:10 Breakthroughs born by accident 52:04 The danger of pure logic 58:40 Emotion > facts in persuasion 1:05:15 Electric cars & tribal identity 1:12:02 Pensions, dating apps & real priorities 1:18:47 Social constraints we never question 1:25:33 Airbnb’s unintended consequences 1:32:20 Experience goods: only valuable once tried 1:39:05 Why Americans adopt faster 1:45:55 The myth of perfect information 1:52:40 Airports, bad purchases & brain mush 1:59:00 Final reflections with Rory Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s guest is ex-CIA officer and founder of EveryDaySpy, Andrew Bustamante. We went deep on the truth about government, money, perception, persuasion, and what real success actually looks like. He revealed how spy training connects to everyday life, why the CIA isn’t what conspiracy theories claim, and how the systems around us are designed to keep us predictable. What stood out most is his blunt honesty: happiness is a slippery pursuit, financial success is the only objective success, and once you see how the world really works, you can never unsee it. Key Discussion Points: The truth about the CIA vs conspiracy theories Influence vs persuasion (and how you’re being steered daily) How the world really works vs how we’re taught it runs Why governments don’t care about you (and never did) A debate on money, success, and what truly matters Learn more about Andrew: Find your Spy Superpower: https://yt.everydayspy.com/4oEHBby Read Andrew’s CIA book ‘Shadow Cell’: https://geni.us/ShadowCellBook Follow Andy on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@Andrew-Bustamante Explore Spy School: https://everydayspy.com/ Support Andy's sponsor Axolt Brain: https://axoltbrain.com/andy Listen to the podcast: https://youtube.com/@EverydaySpyPodcast Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Chapters: 1:30 – CIA breathwork and field prep 6:40 – Debunking CIA conspiracies 11:20 – What the CIA actually does 16:45 – Influence vs persuasion explained 22:10 – How algorithms control your thinking 27:30 – The red pill: once you see it, you can’t unsee it 33:20 – How the world runs vs how the world works 38:50 – Governments don’t care about you 44:30 – Systems built to keep you predictable 50:40 – External validation vs real success 56:10 – Heated debate: what money really means 1:02:30 – Net worth and how it changes everything 1:08:00 – Curiosity vs commitment: why most stay stuck 1:13:10 – Raising kids with perspective outside the US 1:18:20 – Working for nothing vs working for something Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s guest is Ash Dykes. When most people think of adventure, they picture travel, fun, maybe a little challenge. For Ash Dykes, it’s life or death. From pulling a 120kg trailer through the Gobi Desert with no backup, to hallucinating his way to survival on the brink of heatstroke, to being held at gunpoint and crossing crocodile-infested rivers. Ash has lived through it all. But this isn’t just about danger. It’s about why someone would willingly step into the unknown, where death is a real option, and what that teaches you about life, fear, and resilience. Ash shares how he went from a small coastal town in North Wales to setting world records in some of the most extreme places on Earth, and the mental discipline it takes to keep moving when everything in your body is screaming to stop. This conversation is raw, wild, and filled with lessons that go way beyond exploration. Key Discussion Points: Nearly dying of heatstroke in the Gobi Desert Training for world records with just a tire and sledgehammer The “third man syndrome” that saved his life Why fear is a package deal with growth Leading with kindness in life-or-death missions This one will make you rethink what’s really possible.

Real talk… Jim Fortin changed my life as a young 17 year old. It is very full circle being able to sit down at his house for over 2 hours and have him on the show. Most people are living life backwards. They’re chasing more money, more success, more things… all while stuck in the same identity that keeps pulling them back. In this episode, Jim Fortin breaks down why 99.8% of people are working from the wrong place - behavior over identity, and how to flip it so transformation actually sticks. We unpack subconscious programming, the stories we tell ourselves, habits that shape our entire reality, and how to finally step into the identity of the person you want to become. Key Discussion Points • Why most people “work backwards” in life • How your subconscious identity sabotages change • The hidden role of habits and stories • Breaking free from scarcity and limitation • The real path to lasting transformation Thank you all for the support.

At just 20 years old, she’s gone viral for saying things most people are too scared to even whisper. In this episode, she opens up about why she believes feminism was a CIA operation, why she’d gladly give up her right to vote for a more conservative country, and how her faith and marriage shape the way she sees the world. We dive into her transformation from a liberal high schooler and model to leaning into her feminine and becoming what people consider a “trad wife”, her battles with online hate, and why she refuses to tone down her message no matter how much backlash it brings.

For Michael's sake, drop your #stepcheck in the comments! Today’s guest is Michael Smoak and this conversation was one like no other he has ever been on. This year has been tough for Michael. Losing his father to sickness at the beginning of the year created a newfound drive to make the most out of life. While this conversation surfaced his story and loss of father, it was probably the most value packed episode I have done all year. In fact I would go to say that it was my favourite episode I’ve recorded this year. Michael opens up about recording final conversations with his father, learning to laugh through chaos, and why surrendering to truth and God reframed everything. We also get into the reps behind real communication, the trap of routine-as-cage, and how curiosity hardens into conviction. We break down confidence vs ego, the table and plates mindset, and why ownership beats victimhood when life is loud. This was a good one! Key Discussion Points: • Count it all joy. Perspective is the lever • Curiosity into conviction into competence • Confidence is evidence. Ego needs applause • Be the table.

Tom Baulch (aka PrimeTrain) was stuck in the loop, partying every weekend, waking up with regret, and telling himself it was fine because everyone else was doing the same. But deep down, he knew he wasn’t proud of who he was becoming. Seven months ago, he made a decision that changed everything. He gave up drinking, cleaned up his circle, and went all in on his potential. Since then, his business has hit six figures a month, his energy has shifted, and he’s finally living the life he used to just talk about. In this raw and honest episode, we unpack what it really takes to change, why so many men stay stuck in the same cycles, and the brutal self-talk that finally pushed him to break free.

This one hit different. Zack Telander is a musician, father, and seasoned weightlifter, he’s also a man who calls out the fluff on social media. Especially in a world that rewards curated personas over real connection. In this episode, we dove deep into the dark side of content, the addiction to documenting everything, the manipulation of the algorithm, and the pressure to always perform. Zack opened up about fatherhood, anxiety, chasing authenticity, and why we’re more drawn to flaw than perfection. We spoke about content, but we really spoke about life. It was a good one fam!

Daniel Raphael has been called a real-life wizard. But what makes this episode special is the raw journey of someone who was born feeling everything, then spent years trying to feel nothing just to fit in. From reading minds and seeing people’s deepest insecurities as a child, to battling dissociation, depression, and suicidal thoughts after years of shutting himself down… Daniel opens up about the pain of being misunderstood, the journey back to self, and the power of energetic healing.

Cru Mahoney is a rare breed. And this is the second time I have interviewed him. He’s never touched alcohol, caffeine, or drugs. He has ran every day for over 2500 days. But this episode goes deep. Much more than just a ‘Stay HARD’ discipline ridden podcast that has two young men telling you how to live your life. We discussed some profound topics that made me ponder deeply. We talk about the internal war most people avoid, the difference between emotional and physical survival, and why self-respect is built in the quiet moments of daily effort. We also dive into identity, loneliness, food freedom, and how so many people are chasing success while quietly hating themselves.

Welcome to episode 69 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Our guest today is Salim Najjar. What looked like rock bottom losing his business, dislocating his shoulder, going broke, turned out to be the moment Salim found everything. In today’s episode, Salim opens up about the unseen forces running our lives: our nervous system, our heart rate variability (HRV), and the emotional scars we don’t even realise we’re carrying. He breaks down why most of us stay stuck, how to actually move trauma out of the body, and why real health has nothing to do with how fit you look and everything to do with how free you feel inside. This is a deep, important conversation for anyone who’s chasing more but feels like they’re stuck at the same level.

In this episode, I’m joined by Wade Papenfus - a wild creator, deep thinker, and a man who said f**k plan B and backed himself into the unknown. Wade went from living in a caravan with nothing but a camera and a dream, to building one of the fastest-growing YouTube channels in Australia. We talk about what it means to truly bet on yourself when you’ve got no safety net, no fallback, and no backup plan. Wade opens up about chasing discomfort, his obsession with learning, and how he found freedom through sacrifice. This one’s a deep dive into risk, rebellion, and real self-belief. From walking away from law, to training like an animal, to living out of a van and uploading daily with zero traction… until it all clicked. If you’ve ever felt called to do something bold, but fear, doubt, or comfort held you back, then this episode might be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

Known online for his physical strength and straight-talking mindset content, Benji opens up in a way most people haven’t seen before.

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.

Welcome to episode 62 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Today I sit down with Simon Hill - nutritionist, podcast host, author of The Proof is in the Plants, and one of the leading voices in evidence-based health and wellness. Simon is known for breaking down complex nutrition science into simple, actionable advice. But in this conversation, we went way deeper than just food. We spoke about Simon’s personal journey and what led him to become one of the most trusted names in the health space, as well as the challenges he still faces today. He opens up about dealing with imposter syndrome and constantly feeling like he’s not enough, even with everything he’s accomplished. We also unpack some of the biggest nutrition myths floating around online and what the actual science says instead. Simon shares some practical principles that anyone can apply to improve their health, without overcomplicating it. When your inner voice tells you you’re not doing enough, don’t listen to it… Follow Simon: https://www.instagram.com/simonhill/ Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Thank you to Switch Nutrition View my Chris Griffin Collection Page below to grab some of the products that I love and take daily.

Welcome to episode 61 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin. Today I sit down with Hunter McIntyre—one of the greatest endurance & hybrid athletes of our time, a three-time HYROX world champion, and an all-around larger-than-life character. Hunter is known for his insane fitness, unmatched competitiveness, and his jock-like persona online. But behind the records and the bravado is a wild story of rebellion, struggle, and transformation. He opens up about his troubled teenage years—getting into trouble, bouncing in and out of rehab centers, and being prescribed nearly every medication under the sun. It was a chaotic time that could have easily sent him down the wrong path permanently. We talk about the turning point—when everything changed and how he took control of his life, channeling that restless energy into becoming one of the most dominant endurance athletes in the world. He shares the lessons he learned along the way, from pushing physical and mental limits to understanding what truly matters in life. This was one of my favourite conversations to date. Hunter brings an insane amount of energy, honesty, and wisdom, and I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.

Welcome to episode 60 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin. Today I sit down with Dominique Elissa—a successful model, podcast host, and someone who’s been through some serious highs and lows. Dom has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, but her journey hasn’t been all glitz and glamour. She opens up about struggling with insomnia, anxiety, and disordered eating during her early modelling days, the toll it took on her, and how she found a way to turn her life around. We also dive into something incredibly personal—her recent engagement and rushed wedding. When we recorded this episode just two weeks ago, she had only just said "yes" to the love of her life. But soon after, she had to fast-track her wedding due to her mother’s battle with cancer. She was adamant that her mum had to be there, so they made it happen—right in the hospital. An emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. Through it all, gratitude has been the anchor that’s kept Dominique grounded. She shares how practicing gratitude helped her navigate both rock-bottom moments and incredible highs, and why it’s such a crucial part of her life today.

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).

We dove deep into his story from starting out as a busker, doing everything the opposite of the conventional way.

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.
