Switched On

Matt Fabila started Desires Movement as a run club with one goal: to bring people together.
 
Since then, it’s grown into a brand built around community, movement and inspiring others.
 
In this episode, we chat about his school years, playing footy and basketball and how sport shaped the mindset he carries today.
 
We also get into his endurance challenges, including running to Bluff Knoll to raise money for MSWA and what pushes him to keep testing his limits.
 
This one’s about community, mindset and building something bigger than yourself!

Jayden’s always been into sport and fitness, starting with soccer back in high school.
 
In this episode, we chat about the peer pressure he faced growing up, navigating Year 11 and 12 with strict parents, the pressure of ATAR, and how his cultural background shaped those years.
 
We also get into his decision to step away from people who weren’t good for him, how sport built his mindset, and his journey towards becoming an online coach, PT and motivator.
 
This one’s about backing yourself, choosing the right people and turning your experiences into something positive.

In this episode Khoi opens up about growing up, bullying, peer pressure, anxiety and depression, as well as the burnout he experienced during ATAR in Years 11 and 12.
 
We also chat about working for a major YouTuber, feeling pressure to follow the traditional university path and become a doctor, and his decision to pursue full-time content creation instead.
 
This one’s about finding your own path, chasing what gives you purpose and discovering happiness through doing what you love.
 

Conor moved from Ireland to Australia when he was 20, leaving behind his family, friends and the life he knew.
 
In this episode, we chat about the reality of starting again in a new country; from uni fees and visa problems to drinking culture, family and finding his feet.
 
We also get into his run across Ireland, his goal of becoming an Ironman and why he keeps putting himself through endurance events.
 
For Connor, it’s not really about the race but it’s about the mental side of it, and seeing how far he can push himself and what he can learn along the way.

In our first relaunch episode, Slade and Chi Yin sit down together and get honest, about where they've come from, what they've been through, and why they're here.
 
No guests. Just two young men with real stories, sharing what they wish someone had told them when they were younger.
The tools, the struggles, the mindset shifts, and why they believe that one conversation can change everything.
 
"You're the youngest you'll ever be."
 
Welcome to the first episode of Switched On!

The boys are back! We know it's been a while since we've posted a poddy but that's because we've both been flat out with Happiness Co work, going out to schools, planning the upcoming gala, helping out with the Cold Nips tour...there's a lot going on!
 
Anyway, tune in for this episode where we debate over a couple questions!
 
If you've got any good questions or topics you'd like us to talk about done be afraid to reach out on our socials :) 

We are pleased to be joing in by the CEO and Founder of Integrated Support Solutions, Sam Hallam!
Sam is passionate about supporting people with disability. As an amputee, Sam is aware of the daily challenges posed to those living with a disability. However, as a former elite level athlete he understands that one’s ability to succeed is only limited by their imagination, pushing to establish more of a presence in the community to open conversations around disability and challenge the expectations of what’s possible.
 
Sam has a wealth of experience working alongside young people, both in the disability and youth justice space, and understands the importance of working in conjunction with families, service providers, and organisations to ensure participants are given the opportunity to achieve their goals.

In this episode we are joined by an absolute ball of energy! He’s doing this, he’s doing that…he honestly does it all and we don’t know how he does it – neither does he probably. Luke A J is one of Perth’s very known figures in the health and wellbeing space, with his involvement within the likes of Cold Nips, The 440 run club, Lululemon…the list goes on!
 
We are very grateful to have him in this morning for our 2nd episode this week dedicated to Men’s Mental Health Week, where this year’s theme is: Mental Health Check-Ups!
 
We were able to dive into his diverse upbringing and how his journey so far has shaped his "can do" approach to life! His personal philosophy of understanding one's self helps us appreciate this perspective and can be applied to your life right now.

We are grateful to be joined by a good mate of ours, as well as a fellow employee at Happiness Co, Barry "Baz" Hamilton!
 
This week's episode is a special one as we are dedicating it to Men's Mental Health Week (10th-16th of June), where we are focusing on this year's theme: Getting a Check Up.
 
Barry shared a lot about his own personal journey and it's inspiring to see how far he has come as a result of becoming more self-aware and taking action by getting a check up!
 
We hope you enjoy the episode! Please remember to take care of yourself, get a check up (even if you think you're ok and don't need one), take care and check in with your mates, and share this episode with someone who you think needs to hear something like this!

Today we were joined by a young, ambitious lad by the name of Myles"Stallion" Guazzelli.
 
With aspirations of creating a Father-Son course to combat the issue of troubled youth and sources of toxic masculinity, he talkes about the importance of having a reliable masculine role model in such an important stage of development in life, particularly in today's world.
 
The persistance and wealth of knowledge this guy has at the age of 16 is something that we advocate highly at Switched On and we are excited to see what's in store for Myles in the future!
 
As always, we hope you enjoy! Be sure to follow the channel, rate 5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and share with friends and family :)
