Tate Smith is just 21 years old, but he's already lived through one of the hardest things a bloke can face... losing his older brother to suicide. This conversation is raw, emotional, and painfully real. Nate opens up about the shock, the guilt, the anger, and the silence that followed his brother’s death, and how it’s changed the way he looks at life forever.

He shares his mission to make sure no one feels like a burden for speaking up, and the personal challenge he’s taken on to face his own fear of heights to prove that when things feel terrifying, the bravest thing you can do is step forward and ask for help.

This episode is for anyone who’s struggled, anyone who’s lost someone, and anyone who needs to know that the phone call will always be worth it.

By now, you’ve probably seen the face & heard the name, but in this episode, the boys sit down to peel back the layers. From life before the Better Bloke Project to the moment he walked away from a stable career in pursuit of something bigger, Matty opens up about the risks, the regrets, and the rewards that came with chasing purpose.

They dive into the messier stuff too… relationship breakdowns, personal sacrifices, and the reality of becoming the face of a movement that’s been both celebrated and misunderstood. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that behind every mission is a bloke just trying to figure it all out.

Nathan Schmid is back on the podcast… this time as the bloke who actually did it. In April, he completed 30 triathlons in 30 days, wrapping it all up with a full Ironman on Day 30. We first spoke to him before the challenge kicked off, and now he returns to reflect on the highs, the brutal lows, and the mindset it took to keep pushing when everything in him wanted to stop. This wasn’t just about physical endurance, it was about raising awareness for men’s mental health, and the impact was massive.

The messages rolled in, from blokes who finally felt seen to strangers inspired to open up. We speak about the quiet battles behind the scenes, the community that rallied, and the reason why Nathan chose to suffer publicly. We couldn’t be prouder of what he’s done… not just for himself, but for every man who needed to see that it’s possible to keep going, even when it hurts.
