The Anything Goes Podcast

I've been asked about this guest more times than I can count and honestly, sitting across from Brooke McIntosh in the studio today felt like a full circle moment.

Brooke is the fastest woman to run around Australia. Two hundred and four days. Tens of thousands of kilometres. For mental health. As a volunteer. (We talk about that.)

But this episode is so much bigger than the run.

We go deep, fast, which is the only way I know how to do it, and within the first few minutes we're already in addiction, family estrangement, suicide, and what it actually means to love someone enough to let them hit rock bottom. I share something I rarely talk about publicly, my brother's own journey through addiction and the moment I told my mum if she gave him one more dollar, I would walk away. Brooke shares the reality of watching her younger sister spend four years on the streets, and why going hands off was the hardest and most loving thing her family could do.

Brooke's purpose is this: create safe spaces. Decrease suicide rates. And she is absolutely, completely, unwaveringly serious about it.

Listener discretion advised - this episode contains open conversations about suicide, addiction, and mental health.

Honestly? This might be my favourite kind of episode to record.

Just me, your questions and absolutely nowhere to hide. We cover everything this week, what I'd do with eight thousand dollars, when to hire in your business, how I knew my marriage was over, how to support a friend through IVF, what's actually happening globally right now and yes, how to fix a low libido. You're welcome.

This one has been on my list for a long time.

Adam Hudson is someone I've followed for nearly a decade. A retired entrepreneur, freedom maximalist and one of the most quietly courageous humans I know. He sold everything, paid millions to leave Australia and has built a life so simple and so full that he genuinely struggles to find a bad day (now), it wasn't always that way.

We get into all of it. The seven figure exit tax. What it actually feels like to have the Porsche and the beachfront apartment and still wake up feeling dead inside. Why he believes most Australians are living completely out of alignment without even knowing it. And the uncomfortable truths about where this country is heading that most people aren't willing to say out loud.

This conversation went places I didn't expect. And I think that's exactly why you need to hear it.

Warning - this episode contains opinions that will polarise. Good. Lean in.

Ryan and I have been sharing pieces of our IVF journey with you along the way, but we've never sat down and told the whole story sharing the failure moments. Start to finish. Nothing skipped, nothing softened. This is that episode.

We're talking about our first full IVF cycle. The mismanagement, the miscommunications, the wrong trigger script, being hospitalised the day after transfer, getting gaslit about my own body more times than I can count, bleeding for two weeks straight, losing our first embryo .. and everything that happened in between that we never fully unpacked on the mic until now.

We also get into why we made the call to switch doctors, what we actually found out was likely behind the failed transfer, and where we're at heading into our second transfer next month.

I want to be clear, this isn't an attack on anyone. It's our story. And after sharing online that we'd switched doctors, tens of women came forward and said thank god someone is finally telling the truth. So here it is. All of it.

If you're in IVF, have been through IVF, or have ever felt unseen or gaslit inside a medical system that's supposed to be holding you, this one is for you.

You know your body. Trust it. Use your voice. This episode is a reminder of that.

Listener discretion advised — this episode contains discussion of pregnancy loss and medical trauma.

I sat down with Bisher, the COO (& part owner) from Stormrake, one of Australia's leading Crypto Brokerages and honestly, this one is up there as one of my favourite conversations I have ever had on this podcast. Bisher is one of the most down to earth, genuine and deeply passionate experts I have met in any asset class. 

We get into everything. How Stormrake works and why I've been privately sending people to them in my DMs for awhile now with zero affiliation. The difference between spread, slippage and fees, and why what you think you're paying on your exchange is probably not the full story.

We also go in to where Bisher sees Bitcoin heading short, medium and long term (which was a really powerful part!) and why you cannot legislate Bitcoin, no matter how hard governments might want to, and the sovereignty conversation that reminds me exactly why I fell in love with this asset class back in 2017.

We also cover:

Why investing is for everyone and trading is not.

The power of compounding and what $100k at 10%. actually becomes over 30 years.

The new Australian Digital Asset Framework and what it actually means for you.

Why the most bearish people in the room are just bulls in disguise.

Peer to peer, cold wallets and why your Bitcoin is still yours.

I am a proud affiliate of Stormrake, and I want to be clear, I was sending people to them long before that conversation ever happened. If this episode moves you and you want to have a discovery call, use my link in the show notes or just mention my name.

This is the episode I wish existed when I first started in crypto. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
