  • POSITIVE MASCULINITY

    POSITIVE MASCULINITY
    Dec 14 2023
    TIMESTAMP BELOW. Welcome to the very start of a new venture. If you're reading this, you either know me, or you're incredibly lucky. In this episode my guest Ben Mason and I discuss why we struggle with being argumentative, what triggers us, and how we view things in very different ways. Why does "good morning" become so offensive? We discuss growing up battling social anxiety whilst simultaneously becoming popular and the hurdles this brings. We open up about some of our own insecurities and how these were managed (terribly) and how it's been empowering to own our past fcuk ups, grow from it and rebuild. We also talk about what it means to be masculine. The confusion it brings, and how we like to view it now in our mid 30s, in relation to a decade prior. BIG THANK YOU TO JOE FOR THE MUSIC.

  • BATTLING CANCER & CHRONIC PAIN

    BATTLING CANCER & CHRONIC PAIN
    Oct 16 2023
    I don't know where to begin. Speaking with Dyzio it quickly becomes evident that he has been through a lot. He doesn't shy away from speaking about his experiences, and for that im grateful. Dyzio has battled cancer this year, and here he talks about some of the lows, and how he kept himself going. He discusses some of the process of going through chemo, and how he managed to get through. The episode is raw, and very much not sugar coated. So discretion advised. In a beautiful circle, the music at the start and end of this is by one of Dyzios best friends, Joe. You can find him here. https://www.instagram.com/joehunterstudio/?hl=en-gb
