I tend to like. You tend to tense up and hold your breath and you start freaking out or this sort of shit and you forget to breathe.
Speaker 2:Luke, thank you so much for coming on to the podcast.
Speaker 1:Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2:I'm actually so excited for this one. So, essentially, one of the reasons that I think you're going to be such such good like I've been so excited for this podcast, thinking of doing such a good job on here is mainly because I remember when you first jumped on set the center community and you come to our next level retreat and you just attacked. You went through everything and you attacked it like a head first, especially with your own personal development and your own personal growth, and you've continued to shine and continue to grow and it's so motivating and it's so inspiring and like you've inspired so many people in the community that I'm super excited to for you to share your tips, share some of your journey, share some of the things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, where do I start? Honestly, it's been a crazy six months. It's been six months now and what can I say? It's from the moment I started. It was a bit rocky, you know.
Speaker 1:I didn't know where I was at and it took me, like it took me a couple of months to actually gather myself up and really understand, like why I was pretty much doing it, and you know that that's when I started diving deeper into the coursework and the retreat and all these things that you have provided. You know, for myself and for myself and for everyone around us, and I guess you know, finding my purpose and getting a deeper understanding on why, like I was actually doing self development was very crucial and it wasn't until I started to realize and shed shed off the layers and each layer that was coming off, it was like a different level that I was reaching and it was crazy to like realize that I was just constantly beating myself up and I feel like that's been a huge factor in my life. You know, I just would always beat myself up. I'd always talked to myself so negatively.
Speaker 1:You know my upbringing wasn't quite the best, but it also wasn't the worst same time. You know, we all are on our own unique journeys, and that's the main thing that we have to realize is that we're on our own unique journey and it wasn't until, like, I started to realize that my self worth was very low and I wasn't really, you know, accepting myself for who I truly was was, and I wasn't really living my life authentically. And, yeah, once I started to shed off all these layers and, you know, all this stuff, it was really, really amazing to see what was underneath all those layers that I've, you know, been putting on myself. So, yeah, it's been a crazy, crazy journey within the past six months.
Speaker 2:It has been nuts. Tell us about some of your like I want to know, just like, if people are a bit of a background, like check, like what has been some of the most chaotic and some of the like darkest moments that you have. Like like, where were you, what were you doing and who were you before you started leaning into the work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, so where does it start? It started, you know Also, look you just pause, just sorry, so sorry.
Speaker 2:I've got a coffee. That's getting Uber Eats delivered, so if I just run up and jump, it's okay. And as we all get like, edited. I wanted it to come earlier, but it didn't when it started. Where it started.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it all started from. You know, I guess my childhood, my mom and dad split up when I was like three years old and I was living with my mom, my brother and my sister. And obviously you know my mom, being a single mother raising us three kids, she done the best she could and you know she pretty much like brought us into the world. Obviously, the way that she was shown and the way that she fought was best. And obviously during my upbringing I started to rebel a lot in my you know, my early days, during school, like from primary school all the way through to high school, I would rebel, I'd be naughty, what would you?
Speaker 2:do. Well, how would you rebel, just like angry at the teachers You're going to find?
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I'd just always be seeking attention. I'd always be just that rebellious kid in the classroom, just always, constantly like, you know, causing chaos and mayhem, like throwing stuff at the teachers and you know, just doing all naughty stuff. Like I'd be going, like at recess and lunchtime I'd be getting the fire extinguishers and like going into the teachers classrooms and shooting them with the fire extinguishers and I was just like, oh man, like it was chaotic in my school, my school times, and like I'd actually I'd also be running around the playground with a couple of my mates and it was just like a massive game like who could do the most naughtiest thing. And it was like, the more we got into it it was like it was like an adrenaline rush. It was more. It was like a more of an adrenaline rush to see like who could do the most naughtiest thing. So it was pretty much just getting more chaotic and more, more naughty. As we got. We went on. So what's the most? Some of the more stories were getting.
Speaker 2:What about when you because I was like naughty as a kid what about you when you're like in your early 20s? You know, was there like drugs, alcohol, women, cars, like bad people? What was the, what was going on there? Because you know that sort of like. You know those years of development have like led you to where you were here and then you, and then you just started tearing layers off of yourself to like transform.
Speaker 2:I remember at the end of the treat I was like Luke, you look like ten years younger Bro. I was like so what? So walk me through like some of that. Like, like that shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ok. So in my eighteen, to like twenty five, twenty four, it was pretty dark and mysterious. We would. That was just me and my mates. It was a big community of us and we all so deep dived into the drug game and was so deep in the drug game, taking drugs like probably, like every second day.
Speaker 2:But taking selling drugs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, taking drugs, selling drugs, just got to a time when we'll what drug take? The one like cocaine, like gas speed marijuana, mdma, like you name it. We've taken it and it was a very dark path and, you know, would like still cars would take our mates cars for droid rides. I've seen my mates flip out other mates cars and nearly killed other mates. Like we've seen mates crash like like 200 kilometres an hour, like it's. It was honestly like a very dark stage in our lives and my life and that's when I started to realise that that wasn't the life that I wanted to live. And yeah, like it was, yeah, and then it pretty much was like that, like for a while, like all the way from 18 to about twenty five. They got to a stage where I was doing cocaine every like, probably like every second day.
Speaker 2:What would it look like? Was that, were you working? Did you start your business then? Like what was?
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I did take a little bit of back burner and I took time off work and I was just selling drugs and just wanting coke and just falling down into that real bad rabbit hole and that looked like waking up and shit Like, what do they look like?
Speaker 2:I just want to know, like just to like paint a picture of just like how dark it get. Was it like, oh cool, go into the shops today or something, and then like, oh, I'm going to sneak off to the toilet and then come back in the shops. No one even knows what I'm like. What was that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, right. So like I wouldn't I wouldn't even really go out anywhere. Like I would stay in the house and I'd get real like paranoid and like just you know, close the blinds, just get the plate, fucking, snort lines, drink alcohol, just be there with the mates that were just doing it, and we'll just keep constantly chasing that high. And it just gets to that stage where, like we couldn't get that high anymore. So we just keep fucking trying to snort it and trying to get to that next fucking high, but it wouldn't get anywhere. Like you just stay at the same level and could bring yourself back down. And yeah, it's just a constant cycle of the same shit every day. And yeah, it's just like I was just had enough and just flick the switch and was like no, can't do this anymore. Well, I got to turn my life around for the better.
Speaker 2:And then, yeah, yeah, so you started business. What like, yeah, what happened?
Speaker 1:Yeah. So then I pretty much moved away from my mates into the city to get away from it all. I escaped into the city, found a new job I was working for the council or that sort of stuff and then I started to really grind and dive deep into myself and finding myself that way, doing things that really made me feel good, just constantly working myself back up, picking myself back up, going to the gym, you know, constantly going for walks, everything, meditation, like all that sort of stuff to make myself feel better and feel more connected to the earth, because I just completely lost myself for a big part of my life. And, yeah, so when I was at work I was just constantly grinding away and like I had to put drug dealing away from, like you know, put it away and put it behind me and pretty much just work for my money and go to work in nine to five with the council and pretty much just saved hard while I was trying to pay for my rent or that sort of stuff and every little penny I was putting away.
Speaker 1:I then invested into a skincare company Because I had I did have, I thought I had a passion for skincare and as time went on, I found a passion in, you know, self development and coaching, all that sort of stuff. But yeah, so it was just. You know I was on that unique journey as well in life. But yeah, it was a very dark path until I started finding myself and building healthy habits as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, crazy, and it was not stuck just to know that, because some of that stuff, like I, didn't even know. Have you got a story of when it was just wild? Is there one story that you're so? Oh, this is a. This is a bit of a warm one.
Speaker 1:Wow, man, honestly, there's heaps. Ah, we are.
Speaker 2:What's the stick out? What's the stick out?
Speaker 1:Yeah, what's the one that sticks out? Um, I don't know, man, look, there's one that sticks out the house that I was at before I went into the city, the mate that I was living with. He came home off his head on ice and walked from the door and me and my ex were sitting on the lounge and came in and shredded the house apart and came in and blew our brains apart and was like it's fucking all of you, it's all your fault, it's fucking brah-rah-rah, just more.
Speaker 1:Like what the fuck is going on. Like what the fuck is going on. And he goes you're the one that fucking told the police this and that about me causing troubles around you, and we're like we haven't even done anything, like relax. And then he thought there was people on the roof with lasers pointing down him, like pointing guns at him, and oh, it was bad, because then he started coming into my face and was like fucking, what are you going to do about it? Like man, like you need to relax now. Like you know you're high on drugs and you know I'm fucking high on coke too meanwhile. So it was not a good feeling. We're just sitting there like fuck what's going on. And it was lucky that I quickly caught up with his younger brother and his younger brother came and picked him up and got him out of the house. Yeah, then it was just constant like fucking police coming to the house and watching our houses and all this sort of stuff.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that's how that make you, how'd that make you feel, man, like what was like the dominating emotion when you were there.
Speaker 1:Honestly, it was like I wasn't, like I wasn't really scared because like I knew who he was as a person. It was more so like I was scared for my ex at the time and like I felt like obviously she was like whoa, what the fuck is going on, and like so I had to make her feel a bit more safe. I was like, so I sent her upstairs and I was like stop, like you need to fucking, you know, realize what you're fucking doing. I was just feeling very overwhelmed, I guess very overwhelmed, a lot of anxiety and just yeah, I guess that pretty much just sums it up anxiety and overwhelmed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which led you to like as I don't know you, it's like you were and ended up being like. After all of that, when you moved away, is like you were a quite anxious, overwhelmed person.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What were the specific moments? What were the things? How did you start to strip that off? How'd you do it?
Speaker 1:Man. Honestly, if I'm going to be brutally honest, it was just letting go of my past. Letting go of the past and evolving into my new self. Letting go of drugs, letting go of alcohol, letting go of all those bad old, toxic people in my life.
Speaker 2:What are like some specific moments, realizations, conversations that you've had with people Like what are the real things that made you go? Oh, and then you're like no, I'm not going back, I'm leaning into me. Do you remember any like specific moments?
Speaker 1:I think when I got with my new partner and then, like you know, the babies started coming along, I think that was a very big wake up call to me. It was like, okay, mate, like this life or that life, and I was like, yeah, if I can go down this path and I'm going to be there for my family and I'm going to become a dad and I'm going to become a, you know, a good role model and someone that's like, you know, my family can actually look up to and not a party boy anymore that, you know, is just diving deep into the dark mystery as well. So, yeah, I just really was going, you know, into shifting into the dad mode and being a more positive, empowering person.
Speaker 2:So cool. So now, along like, along with your journey of like doing personal development, personal growth, like I'm interested in. In what moments there when you were like working on yourself, where like, because I know that there was like like personally, from what I know, there was like a couple of moments at the retreat. There's been a couple of calls that you've had with certain people. You've gone out and done things publicly that have they've been like, this has been nerve racking or whatever, but they've all contributed to towards your growth. So what was someone like the difficult challenges that you have been challenged with with your personal growth, or moments or conversations, and what were the realizations that you had from them?
Speaker 1:Oh man, a lot honestly, let's go.
Speaker 1:Let's start with just that, the retreat, just mingling with complete like obviously, like you built the community and we you know we're doing, we've connected through online zooms, all this sort of stuff. But doing that alone has been stepping out of my comfort zone because, as you know, having anxiety and all this dark past, it brings a heavy weight on your shoulders and I didn't want to actually mingle with new people and I didn't want to form any new connections. I was afraid of you know forming new connections. I was afraid of you know, stepping into uncomfortable positions. I was afraid of, you know, jumping on a zoom call with complete random people. I was afraid of speaking up in front of random, complete random people and just being seen for who I actually am.
Speaker 1:And I I still remember the first zoom call jumping on I was like fuck this, I do not want to do this. But I told myself, well, this is the sort of shit you have to lean into to become this new version of yourself. And, yeah, I guess that's been a huge factor for me. Stepping out of my comfort zone has been a huge catalyst for my growth. And, yeah, what are some comfort?
Speaker 2:zone moments like that. I know there was a, there was a few at the retreat, there's a few done and such. I want to. I want to hear the stories. I want to hear like you can get into details, man. I want to know I can get into details, oh okay.
Speaker 1:So the first man I don't know Okay, the details of it was, um, a big one was the acting and the drama. And standing up in front of other people thinking of scenarios on the spot and acting out a certain scenario oh man, the feeling I was getting through my body. I was like, fuck this, what a fuck Did I choose this? But then, at the same time, I pretty much had to stop and tell myself that this is what you got to do to grow and this is the sort of shit you have to go through to get to that next level in life and to be that person that you want to be. You have to go through these uncomfortable fucking situations, otherwise you're going to stay down there.
Speaker 2:What was? What was the situation that described to me? Don't we the story?
Speaker 1:Which one, honestly, which one?
Speaker 2:I don't do one of the roleplay ones, the roleplay ones.
Speaker 1:Okay, oh, the lover, the lover one.
Speaker 2:Okay, that hit me, tell us, tell us about the lover.
Speaker 1:We had to pretty much act out a role of show. Was it showing love? Um?
Speaker 2:Who was it for you? Because it was, it was tailored to you. Like what did you? Who'd you have to show love to?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it was, I was showing love. From what I can remember, I was showing love or I just broke up. I picked up a scenario of like I just broke up with my ex but I was trying to get back of her and I wanted to show some love. And then so then there was, I remember there was like four other guys standing there and I had to go up and pretty much like show my love to be able to get, you know, um, the relationship back. And as I went up there and I started to try and act it out, I was starting to choke up and was like, uh, um, I don't really know how to love, I guess, like you know, and it started to really hit me in the feels. I was like why can't I fucking do this? Like why does this feel so damn uncomfortable?
Speaker 1:And it wasn't until, like, I started to like think about it. I was like hang on a minute, like maybe, like because you, me and you were going back and you were trying to teach me, like on, how to do it, like on a deeper level, and I was like I physically can't do it like that, like I felt like there was a block, you know, it felt like there was a kink in the fucking hose and I was like I don't know how to do it and you're like you fucking do, fucking, do it like, get into it, do this shit. And I was like I can't like fucking not coming out. And the more that I was getting into it, the more I was doing it, the more uncomfortable I was feeling.
Speaker 1:But then, after I realized that you know, like obviously I haven't been shown that in my life you know how to love on that deep level, and so that's why I struggle with that personally. And towards the end of it, like I started to break down because I was like, well, this is pretty, you know, it's pretty sad because you know you're showing me how to love on a deeper level and I'm telling myself I don't know how, so obviously I haven't been shown that. And it really hit me in the field was when, you know, I started to feel all those emotions that were running through my body of like, oh, you know, I wasn't around my dad. Like for most of my I wasn't around my dad like for my upbringing, and obviously my mom showed me love in a different way than what, like I wanted to receive it and yeah, so I just started breaking down, crying and letting it all out which was crazy.
Speaker 2:What do you think that did for you?
Speaker 1:What did that do for me? Honestly, it really opened up my eyes and in the moment when I was breaking down and letting it all out and Adam, I remember Adam was guiding me through the breath works as well, helping me out and grounding myself. After and during, once I started shedding the layers off, I was feeling so much more lighter and free. I was generally feeling the love from everyone around me and I was like this is fucking so different and feels so fucking good, and this has been something in my life that I have not ever witnessed.
Speaker 1:I've never witnessed such a thing in my life and for me, that was a massive eye-opener because I really looked at it like where have I been living? I've been living under a rock with all this shit that I thought was normal, and now I've been brought into this new world of fucking unconditional love and support and all these people that uplift you, and the feeling that I was getting was like fuck, unreal. It was like a massive weight was taken off my shoulders and I was just living my life with so much gratitude and love and I could just live authentically and just fucking open my heart up to a bunch of dudes that I only just met. It was fucking mind-blowing. Hey, it was mind-blowing, but honestly it was the best feeling that I had ever felt in my life. I'm not even joking. No fucking other drug can fucking match that feeling.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I fucking prof that feeling. I prof it, there's no other way to fucking describe it. You're opening your heart up to gratitude and having that many people around you supporting you and uplifting you and fucking just pouring all this fucking positive energy into you, you just feel like you feel alive. You feel alive.
Speaker 2:Let you take over the world, hey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you feel like you can just fucking do anything and I've never had that in my life and it just felt so good to have that in my life, like finally.
Speaker 2:And from that, because obviously there's like a huge expansion and there's collapse and there's expansion, and there's collapse and there's expansion and you've been putting in the work right, you've been doing reps. What are some things that you have started to integrate, implement some other challenges that you have done since to help you? Not only because one thing that I really respect about you and a lot of people miss out on the opportunities they'll do one thing, they'll do this thing for like a week, they'll do this thing for one session, right, and then there's losing all and you're like no, I'm dedicated, I'm dedicated, baby, I'm keeping this shit. That was great, I'm going in. So what are some things that you have done in order to maintain? Is there any moments, any lessons that you have learned? And then, how has that directly impacted your life?
Speaker 1:Yeah. So, look, I held that feeling for about a week after the retreat of that fucking gratitude, which is a fucking solid effort. To be honest, that is awesome and it was crazy because, like I started like reading other people's energies and like it was like I was on like a different level and I was like I kind of don't want to let go of this level. But that's when I once I started to lose that you know that feeling and that you know that good vibration and that good energy that was rushing from my body.
Speaker 1:I soon realized that, okay, there's something that I have to do to, you know, get back to that sort of state of mind and that state of feeling. So I pretty much knew to myself that I was never going to be able to fucking withhold that fucking feeling like forever, and I just had to tell myself that, you know, it's always going to be ups and there's always going to be downs, it's always going to be a constant holocaust. But that's what you got to, fucking, you know, understand, and that's what you got to live with. But it was that I had to implement daily habits and daily routines and special things into my life to, you know, constantly, you know, make myself feel better.
Speaker 2:And what I want to hear about them. What are the? What are just, just, just a few. What are some of the things that you've implemented, habits and things you routine, because people listening probably like oh, what did you? What did you do? Because, like, I might want to try that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I've developed a really good morning routine so I'd always be constantly having cold exposure. As soon as I wake up, I'll have like a five minute cold shower, no matter what. I'll never turn that thing hot Like it'll be freezing cold. Even in, like when it was winter it was like three degrees. I'd be like full blown cold. Make sure I'd be like full dialed in. Get out of that.
Speaker 1:And then I'll go into like met, like a 15 minute meditation, 15 minute breath work, just so that I can calm my brain waves down and you know it's really really resetting myself for the day so that I'm, you know, starting my day off on a positive high note and positive energy. So yeah, that's been a real big factor. And then, like, I'll move straight into like my body movements and I'll be doing like stretching and going to the gym and moving my body so that you know I'm constantly feeling good, like you can't just be sitting around and you know, sleeping in and doing all the bad habits. To be at a certain level, you have to be doing certain things and implementing, you know, good daily habits and routines. So that's been a huge big factor for me and it's also, you know, being more self aware as well.
Speaker 1:Like, certain triggers show up within, like my relationship as well. So it's becoming more aware with my partner and me, becoming aware of, like, certain triggers that I have to then, you know, control my emotions so that my emotions don't control my emotions, don't, you know, take over my body. Because once I start to, you know, lose that bit of momentum and once I start letting that anger come back out, that's when you start to lose your, that's when I start to feel my energy coming crashing down. So it's been a huge factor for me to realize that I need to always be constantly like, holding myself on that, you know, that positive note and that, that good wavelength, and it's trying to find that balance, you know.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, the high standard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's sort of like having to hold it to a high standard and yeah, it's honestly it's a very big time to explain it. Really Like it's, you have to be very wary of like what's going on around you to protect your energy.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, big time. So let's go back into because I love that you do that and share some of those things let's go back into what are some more moments. I'd like to hear some challenging things, like, maybe, if it was like a relationship challenge, how did you navigate that business challenge? How did you navigate that like using the new tools, especially because I'm like, especially for the listeners, because I want to give them like some practical tools and things and the stories that you've got with the challenge that you overcome, and I know they'll be like oh, I've got something similar. Then, like man, we can get to some, something that may help them out.
Speaker 1:Me being a dad, you know kids are fucking going around, screaming chaos, fucking everywhere, also living with my Mrs Mom as well, and her little brother and just houses chaos, pure chaos. So for me that is a huge fucking trigger point and for me to overcome that, when do you, when do you most get triggered?
Speaker 2:When is it?
Speaker 1:when you're like fucking yelling, screaming, fucking, banging, fucking, crying like yelling, all of it, it's just. It's just. It triggers me really deeply.
Speaker 1:Any noise in the house noise and it's just pure chaos and it's like my.
Speaker 1:It feels like my whole world's crashing down, and it's not until I have to pretty much just literally stand there and send it myself and pretty much just take a deep breath in pause for like four seconds, let it out and just becoming aware of the certain feelings that are arising within my body and actually noticing what's going on around me and pretty much just telling myself that this is okay, like it is fine, and they don't know any better. They're only little kids, you know. They only know that. So I need to just reset myself and, you know, reset my nervous system and just becoming aware and just, you know, controlling my emotions so that I don't, you know, start letting it all come to the surface and letting it all out and I'll be take, could take it out on my partner, vice versa. So that's been a huge impact on my life is being really aware of my emotions in my surroundings, in my household, because that's a constant challenge for me is just the kids and the chaos that go on in the house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sort of like that quote where it's like do you want to be a warrior in the garden in the garden or a gardener in a war? It's you just like. Learning is like, okay, I'm in the garden right now, I could do some damage, but I'm sitting into that stoic monk vibes. How did you like, like, like. What was your process of becoming good at that? How did you learn what things? What things did you learn to to like, get good at that?
Speaker 1:It's been a journey.
Speaker 1:Honestly, it's pretty much just been like me me being like taught how to control and regulate my emotions and becoming self aware.
Speaker 1:The more you become self aware and the more you become, you know, aware to your triggers and what's showing up and why it's showing up, and all this sort of stuff, then you can then notice it and label it and that's when you can move through the work and pretty much just focus on the breath as well, like noticing that you know your nervous system is fucking like that.
Speaker 1:You know like constantly in overdrive. You know like all the chaos, so your nervous systems up here and you pretty much just trying to bring it back down to you know baseline, and I feel like it's all within the breath, because you tend I tend to like, tend to tend to tense up and hold your breath and you start freaking out all this sort of shit and you forget to breathe, and breathing has been a big factor for this. So what I do is I just stand there and I'll just breathe through the nose, like for four seconds and then I'll hold it, and then I'll hold it for like four seconds and then I'll let it out and then like it just like, you know, race centers the feeling and it just makes you like be aware of everything and you can then control your emotions and then you can come out and speak from a place of, not from anger, a place from your true, authentic self. So yeah, that's been a real big factor for me.
Speaker 2:And what benefits has that brought to your life, your health, your relationships, your wealth, like? What benefits has all that brought to you?
Speaker 1:It's still a working progress. You know, I still have my days like we're not all perfect, like I do. You know I'm preaching it, but it's a journey and I want to let everyone know that we aren't all perfect and I'm still not perfect. But the thing is that I've got the tools now and I'm constantly trying to use these tools. Yes, there'll be days where I fucking forget the tools. There'll be days where it just slips past my mind, but then I start to notice that it slips past my mind because I'm still self aware, like I'm, you know, still in the work. I'm still doing the work. I then pick back up and I'm like hang on a minute, you're doing the wrong thing again, pick back up and then you can go again. So yeah, it's been. A real big thing for me was being like real self aware.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like all this unconscious wiring that you have in your brain, which has been stacked for so many years.
Speaker 2:Yeah the process of um, as, just because I know you's like doing some crazy challenging things in person, doing some like consistently catching up with people and talking and like and doing the work, because you've been doing so much work, like actively working with so many people, it's so impressive Like um. I feel like all us men should be working all the time on ourselves as hard as you are and like by doing that for a period of time, it's like yo, this is, this is starting to work and now I'm reprogramming and installing some more conscious thoughts that are original. I was reading the spoke Zarathustra uh, literally. Uh, it was a yesterday. I just read one of the passages in there.
Speaker 2:It's a Frederick Nietzsche book.
Speaker 2:It was just basically talking about how, when you, as a person, start to gain your own new values and you start to learn like new values and you have your own values, is that different that differentiates you from the crowd or the herd of people? You're different from the norm and the thing is is because you have your own set of values and everyone else has had their own values put onto them for what they should do, like get it just the normal center, you know, get a job like work your absolute fucking ass off. Like like, um, talk this way, be this way, go party and have drugs and, as a way out of the way, escaping instead of facing the demons inside yourself. All that you get these new values is that those people feel lonely and it's your job and responsibility because you feel bad and guilty. Once you've got your new values cause, then people will be like, oh shit, they feel lonely and they try to bring you back, and then you got to be strong enough to be like a murderer to cut those threads.
Speaker 2:I was like wow, and that's what you're doing, man.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I know and it's been a big factor Like I've just had to go fucking snip and like fucking let it all go, because like pretty much, if I didn't let it go then I knew that I'd just get brought back down into all my old bad habits again. So you know, it's just letting go and just transforming into this new life and surrounding yourself, surrounding yourself with, you know, more positive and empowering people like people that you want to, you know, surround yourself and the people that you want to look up to and the people that you are trying to build like your life around. You need to have all like minded people around you, otherwise it's fucking impossible to get to that fucking stage.
Speaker 2:How good is it having like so good People around you.
Speaker 1:There needs to be more people in Sydney, though. Struggling to find people in Sydney is that on fucking this journey. But you know what like is what it is like We've got, we've got these people on, we've got the community, you know. So that's like I'm so grateful for that. But yeah, you are right, get, get them. Actually, we're all getting them.
Speaker 2:If anyone is listening to this and they are in Sydney, in that I know we actually have a decent audience of people from Sydney who listen. Goddamn, contact Luke.
Speaker 1:Let's go Build this fucking community. We need to like minded people around us so that we can push to that next level.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it is so empowering. It's crazy when you're in it, right, you just want to grab people and shake him. Hey, wake up.
Speaker 1:Wake up, fucking, let's go.
Speaker 2:It's so exciting Given when we did the leadership workshop, it was like it was only like you, your partner, and like Jesse. When we did the leadership workshop in Sydney, that was one of the most powerful workshops. That's more, we had like heaps of people at the other ones and that one I was like this is one of the most fun ones that we've done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah it was amazing, yeah, which is crazy. I love that shit.
Speaker 2:So what tools? Because I really like this in terms of like, what tools do you use? What mindsets you know have you got when you acknowledge things just for everyone is listening to, like cool, I want to get, I want to get like a tool out of this, some sort of tool. One of them that you mentioned was like, literally, when I get stressed, I just acknowledge my breath for hold for, breathe out. All right, come in, let's make another decision. But what are some tools that you do use or you have learned that you find quite powerful?
Speaker 1:Stepping out of the comfort zone.
Speaker 2:But what tool, hey, what tool have you used to get, to get out of that?
Speaker 1:Man, it can. It can range from like many things, like whatever literally makes you feel uncomfortable just by stepping into it.
Speaker 2:So tell us some, tell us some uncomfortable shit.
Speaker 1:What I, what I, they can start. I fucking didn't want to like even speak to the camera. Let's start with that, right. I really struggled speaking and looking at the camera. So I was like, oh fuck, this is hard, I can't do this, and that this stem from your coursework and you pushed me to do this and by me looking at the camera and, you know, putting my face out there and overcoming that. There was a moment where I couldn't even do it. So I gradually built it up. So I was at home and I was just practicing and practicing and practicing, every single day, just looking at the camera and talking to the camera. And then obviously I got better over, better, like better at it over time. So then I started testing myself and saying, ok, let's push this into another level.
Speaker 1:So then I'd go into like the public eye and then like I'd be at the gym and then like I'll whip my phone out and start like talking around other people and I've got, oh, here we go. That's fucking, that's a trigger. I don't want to do that. That fucking makes me scared, that makes me so uncomfortable because I start to think of all these thoughts and feelings coming into my body and my mind. I'm like, oh, it's all the fears of like people judging you and like the spotlight of heck, you feel like everyone's fucking watching you and you just hide away and you're talking to the corner and you're like, oh no, I just rather stand that comfort zone. But that's not where the growth is. It's pulling the phone out and just continuing on doing it and maneuver through that fucking feeling in your body and just overcoming it and just you know re-centering yourself and just you know focus on yourself and focus on your voice and focus on your breath and just keep talking so the camera don't worry about what's going on around you. And that's a fucking huge thing that I've had to overcome because it was just a very uncomfortable feeling. So over time, I've built that up and I've become so good at it now, like, go to the gym and then the fucking gym will be packed and I'll be like I don't give a fuck what they're thinking, I'll just start recording my fucking. You know, whatever I need to do, even if people think I'm fucking weird, whatever, I'm on my own journey Like they, they're on their journey, it doesn't matter. And yeah, that's been a huge factor for me. So I can now speak publicly on my phone and with my phone out around. Anyone built that to that level now. So that's been a huge thing for me.
Speaker 1:And another thing that I've been stepping into now is into the public line, the city. Like I'll go into the city and I'll walk up to a complete random person and I'll just be like I'll have my phone and I'll start recording and I'll have a microphone and I'll be like what makes you confident? And like I'll just go up to a complete random person and I can put them on the spot and like it's another thing that hits you in the field because you're like, oh, they could reject you, they could, you know, tell you to fuck off, they could. You're dealing with all different sorts of people and you don't know what the outcome is going to be. You're stepping into the unknown. So that's been a huge thing for my growth as well. Now is stepping out into the public line. You know, interviewing random people and all this sort of stuff. It's been a huge thing for me to step through as well, which is awesome.
Speaker 2:And those who were seeing dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. Baby, what um, what were you like? Yeah, today like yeah. That quote hits me so hard. So what um, what were you like before? Were you sort of like hands over your eyes, looking at the pavement?
Speaker 1:Didn't really want to look up. I didn't want to be seen. I didn't want to be seen. I had so much anxiety, I had depression, like all the bad traits, like you know. Um, I just would always freeze up. I'd get sweaty palms, like I'd get nervous, like I. You know, I just wasn't a confident person, like I was just that shy, anxious person that was just like you know, push it to the side and I can. I'll just fucking stand in the comfort zone.
Speaker 2:But even now it was nuts because like it's not even like you're like, oh, he's a confident guy. It's like you've gone like way beyond that. You get people that could you know could come in our community and be fairly confident. Sometimes I look at an exercise where it's like hey, one of the things that we challenge in the community is like like you know, like do something vulnerable in the media. That's one of the the dare to be seen.
Speaker 2:It's like that's something we're like no, not really, but I'm like all right, you think of something recently that like you're ashamed, guilty or embarrassed of and you record yourself a video of you live and tell that shit like on social media. You bet you're going to break through some confidence bullshit. You're going to break through that shit immediately. As soon as everyone's seen it's like, oh, forgiven, gone. Everyone's seen me here. I am healed. It's a, it's a crazy healing process that we've got now of like you know, be seen by the world in your shit and that like vastly like makes people grow, which is like a way that you've done. Now you're like Uber confident. It's not like normal level of confidence, which I know you're smiling, it's like a Uber confident and you're like so authentic with how you come across the people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, look like I have gotten so much more confident, but I still have my days. There's still there's still there's still things that I'm still trying to overcome and there still always will be, like there's always going to be. There's always going to be moments where, you know, I don't feel comfortable and I don't feel confident in doing certain things. But it's having the courage to step into the moments where you feel uncomfortable and with that courage you can go a long way. And that's where you start to build the inner confidence. It's having the courage to step into the uncomfortable situations and, yeah, that's been a real big thing for me is just being, you know, being building that courage to step into the uncomfortable feeling, because I just, yeah, like it's been a big thing that I've just brushed under the rug my whole life. I just didn't want to, you know, step into that uncomfortable feeling.
Speaker 2:How have you like progressed Like? I want to hear about some stuff about like relationship progress, because a lot of people get stuck in there. I know you've had some like rocky parts down, up, down, up down, what? How have you like overcome that? And what are some moments, because we're all working on it always continuously. But I want to know about some triumphs, some wins, when you're like, ah, this was shit and then now fuck, I'm winning.
Speaker 1:I try to have a deep conversation with my mum and I pretty much just wanted to tell her the journey that I was on and get a deeper understanding on her life and my life and how I was raised as a kid and how it affects me to this day and all this sort of stuff. But I did get shut down and she didn't want to help me. She just shut me off and was like I don't want to have this conversation and obviously like there obviously probably is a bit of guilt, shame, all this sort of stuff that she's holding on to, and she doesn't like stepping into uncomfortable situations, which I totally understand and I totally get. So I didn't push it onto her much more. I was like, ok, that's my mum, I just got to accept her for who she is. She doesn't want to have that uncomfortable conversation, then she doesn't have to have it.
Speaker 1:But it kind of hit me because I was like why You're my mother? Why can't we have this conversation? It really sucks. All I'm doing is opening up to you. That's all I'm doing. Why do you want me to open up to you? But yeah, every time I try and bring it up she would just be like, no, no, I don't want to talk about that. I don't want to talk about that. But that's obviously the uncomfortable feeling that she was getting and she doesn't. She's one to not step into her fears and she's got a lot of fears. She won't even drive 15Ks past her house. That type of fear I'm scared to drive the car. Her fear she's got so much fear in her and that's, I guess, why I've had a lot of fear in myself as well, because I've been brought up around it, so I've had to overcome my shit because of my surroundings. So it's been a big challenge for me.
Speaker 2:Are you proud of yourself?
Speaker 1:Yeah, 100%. I'm proud of myself.
Speaker 2:You're like Broke Casper.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm super proud of myself because I know how fucking hard it is and I know how challenging it can be and to do this sort of work it's not fucking faint-hearted. You have to have that courage in you to step into this shit and it's not easy For warriors.
Speaker 2:For sure, it's like it's for warriors, but you also just got to make that decision because it's like when you started, it's not like you were in a warrior state, it's like you were super anxious. You just put yourself in the right environment. You're like I'm gone here.
Speaker 1:Exactly right. I mean, look, I was pretty much stepping into the unknown from the start, like I didn't even know what the fuck to expect. But as time has fucking gradually gone on, I've soon realized what it's all about is pretty much just dealing with your past traumas and shedding off each layer and layer and layer and becoming this new, fucking confident version of myself, which is fucking super powerful. Because my self-worth was fucking pretty low at one stage. I was always constantly telling myself that I wasn't good enough, and I pretty much believed it. We talk to ourselves and we tell ourselves I'm not good enough, I'm not capable of doing this, and we're programming our mind into actually believing it and we fucking believe it. And now that I've fucking reprogrammed my mind into I am worthy, I am capable, I am fucking good enough All this shit my life has fucking drastically fucking changed for the better by just having that fucking positive fucking outlook in life. Now.
Speaker 2:But what would you say to people who are still smoking, drinking, taking drugs? What would you say to people who was trapped where you were?
Speaker 1:Good question. Let me think about it.
Speaker 2:Get aggressive if you want.
Speaker 1:Get aggressive. It is a dark path and you are not alone. You are much more capable than what you actually think you are and that there's much more to life than drugs and alcohol and partying. There is so much more to life. Start building your future and start building the life that you deserve to have, and stop brushing it under the rug and stop trying to escape reality, because that's all you're doing. You're trying to mask all the problems with the drugs and the alcohol. You're trying to hide your emotions, all this stuff. To stop that and actually fucking let go of it all and fucking evolve into the new person that you actually don't know what you actually are capable of.
Speaker 1:And it's crazy because that's been a huge part of my life, so I can speak from the heart and it's like you think that the feeling that you get on taking drugs and the feeling that you get from having alcohol and all fucking, even steroids all this stuff there is much more to life and the feeling, yes, when I was taking fucking steroids, I felt like the fucking man, I felt like the God in the fucking gym, but that was just my mother fucking ego, my fucking ego, the big fucking macho man fucking taking steroids, all this fucking shit.
Speaker 1:Like I've woken up, I've let go of the fucking old ego and I've transformed into this new fucking version of myself. It's so fucking powerful because now I don't have to fucking constantly be so insecure about my fucking body and how I fucking look. Oh, oh, that girl fucking that girl's not going to think I'm hot because I'm not taking steroids. I don't have fucking big muscles like that fucking guy over there. Because I'm constantly thinking of what other people are thinking about myself. I'm always getting caught up in the fucking thoughts of what other people fucking think about me, when all that matters is how you view yourself as a fucking person.
Speaker 2:It's all it makes you so free 100%.
Speaker 1:You just have to accept yourself for who you are and live authentically. It's a process, yeah, it is a process and it's a journey, but it's not. Until you start to realize these things, you're going to be fucking stuck in that hole for fucking a long time.
Speaker 2:What would you say to people because, let's say, they're stuck in that position because not a lot of people think, like there is a stigma around, like even when you start, right, it's going to be hard, it's going to be uncomfortable. So I'd rather the pain of living in shit and drugs and steroids and climbing some fucking egocentric hierarchy, rather than facing off with my own demons, be held with people learning how to fucking be loved and becoming fucking successful internally and externally. What do you say to people who, like, can't take that first fucking step?
Speaker 1:Ask yourself what you truly want. Do you want that lifestyle? Or do you want that lifestyle, the fucking dark, mysterious lifestyle of constantly fucking chasing shit like chasing the successful lifestyle, chasing the fucking money, chasing the girls, all this sort of shit? But you feel like you're not getting anywhere. You're just stuck in that fucking moment and you just keep relaping. Or you can come from there over to this side and put in the fucking hard work.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's not going to be easy, but you signed up for it. It's not easy, but over time it's going to get gradually easier and easier and easier. The more you work in repetitions you put in, it's going to get easier. It's going to get easier. But guess who wins in the end? The people that put in the work, the people that do the hard work, the people that do the inner work, the people that put themselves out there into uncomfortable positions, all this sort of stuff. They're the people that fucking win in life, not the people that are living that fucking fake lifestyle of the drugs, the alcohol, the chasing, all this negative shit. They're not the people that are going to win in life. It's just a fucking short little term fucking thing and it's not going to be a fucking huge gain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hear you, man, I hear you.
Speaker 2:That's what you got to start to realize I like using silly analogies and metaphors, like fart jokes and sex jokes and stuff. I have this thing where it's like for men, because I used to do this I was a fart in front of my partners all the time and now I'm dedicated, I'm like I'm not farting in front of my partner, no way. I used to think it wasn't my, I'm not doing it. And then I use this analogy Right, and suddenly accidentally, if one slips in some cases, I'm like God damn it, I apologize, I'm sorry, didn't mean to fart, I don't like doing it, but no way. If I put myself on a plane and I was sitting next to two Victoria's Secret models, would I fart? No fucking way. I'd go to the toilet and hold that shit on. If it was a 10 hour flight to Dubai or some shit, I'm not farting. No fucking. Two Victoria's Secret models, I'm here the whole time. No way in hell.
Speaker 2:I love it and I think the analogy works like well for you when you were saying is it's like it if you were someone who was drugs, steroids, all this shit? Right? Maybe you did like fucking prostitutions in the past or you fucking did some shit you regret, or crashed some fucking cars or worked your ass off of business to the bone in your workaholic, whatever it is. I guess that point is like well, if you had right, put it this way, the most beautiful relationship and the most beautiful partner. You had two amazing kids. There's most normal stuff. Your business is thriving and successful and you're making impact and you're like supporting people. You're helping them, helping them get out of their shit. You're like encouraging people. You're inspiring. Would you trade that for a few lines on a plate and some late nights?
Speaker 1:Oh well, that fucking hits me in the fucking feels. I can relate, I can honestly relate. It's fucking like, it's crazy, like you think because you're in the moment, that's all you know, you don't know any better. But until you start to let go and change as a person and getting a little bit of taste on what's on the other side, then you start to realize but it's not until you start to get a little taste on the other side that you just stay stuck in that same fucking environment and it's very toxic.
Speaker 2:What was your first taste like? I'm sure it must have been at next level, but there might have been like one of the exercises or challenges or something that you did. Might have even been a story on a group call, I'm not sure when you were first like, well, that was uncomfortable, I'm going to fucking do it anyway. And then had your taste of it.
Speaker 1:It all started when I first jumped onto the Zoom cause I didn't want to be seen I was like I'm so fucking nervous to fucking speak in front of all these fucking people. I didn't want to speak. I remember when it first came around to my time, it was like, oh, welcome Luke into set the standard and he's got to share one win and fucking one challenge. I was like, oh, my fucking God, this is so nerve wracking Because I was afraid of fucking up what I had to say or I'd just be constantly thinking of what are other people going to think of me and what are they going to think of fucking how I talk and how I pronounce things and all this stuff. It's just been a constant fucking journey and constant challenges throughout the journey.
Speaker 2:Do you have any stories of when it like like some other stories that you remember of, like real specific, like someone said this, or you did this, or I can had a breakdown moment or something, when you were like I was on a.
Speaker 1:I was on a breath work session with Nick. Let's go into this one. I was on a breath work session with Nick and I was fucking brave in a way, and I was tapping into the body and all this sort of stuff. And because I was doing breath work a certain way every morning, I was so programmed into doing that in his. So what I was doing was he was pretty much telling me to breathe in and out the mouth, like that. Right, but what I was doing like, I was doing it for a while, but then, once my body started to like, feel a bit like funky, I was then doing a deep breath and holding my breath.
Speaker 1:And, right, I hold my breath. And he was like, what the fuck are you doing? And I was like, oh, like, you know, fucking hit me. And I was like, oh, I was like what do you mean? And he was like oh, oh, oh, like, are you all good? Like, is everything okay? I was like, and I full broke down, I started crying and he's like what the fuck just happened? And I was like I don't even know what just happened. I was like I thought, like that's what I was meant to do Like, and then it just really hit me because, like I felt like I was being judged by, like the tone.
Speaker 1:I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And I was like, oh, like it felt like I was being judged on what I was doing. And I told him I was like, oh, I'm sorry, like I felt a bit judged on what I was doing to send. And he was like, oh fuck, like now I'm. Now I feel like now I feel affected. Now I was like fuck, we're both affected right now.
Speaker 1:It was it was pretty funny Like we're like we literally just said I was like what the fuck's going on right now? And we're like, oh, like, okay, maybe we should just like take time to reflect on this and, like you know, you know, like see where each other's at and like maybe we should just end it here. And I was like, no, it's all good, like it's fine, like it's totally fine, like I just completely lost track of, like where I was at because, like you know, when you do breath work, you fucking hug all these sorts of feelings. And like I just completely lost where I was at, like, and I held my breath and it was, yeah, I was just triggered by the tone of the voice and and it's obviously stemmed like from being judged, and I was like I'm like it's all good, man, it's all good, it's just that. It's just one of those fucking feelings that I fucking witness and it's just one of my fears of being judged.
Speaker 2:And I am so much more impressed now that you got naked.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what I mean. Like it's just like, like it hits me and judgment has been a huge fucking factor in my life. Like, yeah, it's a huge factor in a lot of people's lives, not just mine Like a lot, like a lot of people walk around fucking fear of being judged and that's why they mask all the insecurities.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's why it leads to them to only get to a certain level of success, or when they. The more success they get, the more stressed out they become. Like I noticed that with some people that get so successful, they work hard for it and they're like I'm so stressed out I was going to hide back into my work. And then they get stuck in their work and then they just hide and hide, and hide and hide and hide away to the point where, like, their partner comes in, like oh hey, and they're like, oh, don't touch me, I need to just work.
Speaker 2:I learned a pretty cool mindset technique tonight and just in terms of like investing, I thought this was cool, just investing thing. And they were like this morning, isn't the million millionaire mind secret of the millionaire mind? They said every single dollar like you have to set up in like your banking system, every single dollar you earn, there has to be a percentage of that that goes into investing. But they're like how we approach that? Every single dollar you put into investing, investing you must put onto celebrating yourself. And I was like that is one of the best things I have heard, because most people their mindset is I've got to invest everything to free myself, but forget that there's this inner child or this fun or this reason that we're alive and we've got to go and play and be abundant and experience blowing money and to put us into a new frequency of oh, I want this more.
Speaker 2:I want to have this experience again and I deserve it and I know attracting in like a new frequency and I was like that is so brilliant and I believe that comes. You know what you're saying. Same with the. You know being judged and scared of being judged. It's like, okay, for every little time I think I'm being judged. Now I have to go and do something and get outside, as you mentioned, my comfort zone in a different way. Otherwise we build a prison for ourselves. We build a prison for ourselves that we don't even know is there 100%.
Speaker 2:Crazy.
Speaker 1:It's not until we start like realizing all these sort of things, then that's when we can, you know, start to maneuver around it and start making a change.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I love how like you've got your business. You got your skincare business. You've been working so hard on your relationship, building things with your kids, even though moments have been like up and down and you're like breaking through there, breaking through on business. Now you've like found your passion, you've like gotten this next level, confidence that you're working at every fucking day and they are coaching people on like becoming self-confident and you're helping them become more confident and you're helping them break through, which is like so motivating and so inspiring from you. So, for all the listeners that are listening, we're going to give them a challenge in a second. But where can they just find you, luke Hemsworth? Where can they find you on Insta?
Speaker 1:Coach Luke Hemsworth, Coach Luke Hemsworth. So I'm on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, you name it Facebook, I'm on them all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, going hard in the gym videos, in the fucking videos.
Speaker 1:I was just diving deep into what I truly love. I've found my passion and I love doing what I do and I love helping others, like it's just what comes naturally, and that's when you know you've really found your passion. When it just comes naturally and it just feels so good to just get out there and, do you know, make a positive impact on people's lives. I just love it.
Speaker 2:How often do you see Thor?
Speaker 1:I wish I could.
Speaker 2:You got that last name baby.
Speaker 1:I got a T-up and T-up and I can promote my fucking page.
Speaker 2:I want to leave everyone who's listening with a challenge so that they can implement like immediately. They listen to this podcast and they're like all right, I got to do some shit because I'm motivated after this. What do you challenge them to do?
Speaker 1:I challenge them to whip out their phone in a public setting and do a talking video on their story, Instagram stories.
Speaker 2:Oh, I like it.
Speaker 1:So I'm a fucking cringe man. A lot of people think it's so cringe and I was actually running a free five day challenge and I had that, as one of the challenges was for people to be seen on the Instagram story, and the amount of people that didn't fucking do the exercise. It was fucking unbelievable, because I didn't want to step into the uncomfortable fucking position and I was like, okay, that's fine, like you are who you are, like I'm not going to force it on you, but just remember, this is the work that we got to do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like there's a lot of medicine in.
Speaker 2:Regardless, if you go to do something, you get challenged and you know there's going to be a result there and you're like, oh goodness, I don't want to do this.
Speaker 2:Regardless, if you do do it or you don't do, it is, there is always some sort of magic or medicine in the madness and there's a part of you who wants to break free, who does not want to care, who does not want to be judged, who wants to be able to love as freely as possible, be strict to their word and their integrity. You want to be recognized as that superior person and be extremely successful in all of your endeavors, and a fear of judgment is a huge thing that comes up that prevents people from getting there, and there is some medicine in that and it's awesome that you're doing that.
