From searching for a product to building a brand. 🇦🇺

During COVID, Bryce Haysom was looking for gear made in Australia. After searching everywhere and finding nothing, he decided to create it himself.

What started with a few pieces slowly grew. Then came the camo gear, collaborations, and eventually the “Support Your Local Diggers” rash guard — and everything changed.

It connected with the veteran and current serving community and helped take the business to another level.

Sometimes, building a business starts with one simple thought:
“If I can’t find it, I’ll make it.”

Don’t Call Him “Champ” 😂

Why can “mate” offend someone, but “champ” can really p**s them off?

Danny Lavermicocca breaks down the uniquely Australian meaning of the word “mate” — and why it doesn't necessarily mean you're talking to a bloke or even someone you're friends with.

For Danny, “mate” is simply part of everyday Australian language. But call him “champ”? That's a completely different story. 😂

A funny look at Australian slang, language, banter and the way words can mean something completely different depending on how they're used.

What happens when a nickname becomes so common that some people don't even know your real name?

In this clip, Danny Lavermicocca talks about growing up around Australian larrikin culture, where banter, nicknames and taking s**t from your mates were seen as part of proving yourself.

From being called “Wog” at the footy club to his mate being nicknamed “Curry,” Danny explains how these labels weren't always about malice — sometimes they were simply part of the culture, the banter and the mateship that shaped Australian life.

But where's the line between banter and bullying?

Danny also talks about why “mate” means so much more than just friendship in Australian culture — and why being called “champ” is a completely different story. 😂

THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BAD DAY AND PTSD.

Harry Mackarness speaks bluntly about the way mental health is discussed online — and why exaggerating everyday struggles can take away from the experiences of people living with serious depression, PTSD and trauma.

Mental health matters. But so does understanding what people are actually going through.

RELAPSE ISN’T GAME OVER 🎮

Recovery is like a video game.

You’re moving through the levels, learning new skills, getting stronger and building experience.

Then sometimes, you die.

That’s relapse.

But when you die in a video game, you don’t go all the way back to Level 1. You return to your last checkpoint.

All the progress you made is still there.

Relapse doesn’t erase the lessons, growth or time you’ve put into recovery. It’s a setback, not a reset.

Keep playing. Keep moving forward. 🎮

I Worked Security for Tom Cruise in London

What’s Tom Cruise really like when the cameras aren’t rolling?

Tony Bryson shares his firsthand experience working RST for Tom Cruise in London while he was filming Mission: Impossible.

Tony recalls sitting outside Tom Cruise’s hotel room at the Dorchester — and how the Hollywood star would take time every day to talk to him.

For Tony, it wasn’t just the fame. It was Tom’s aura, charisma and genuine warmth that left the biggest impression.

Two shots of wh***ey… as treatment for a movement disorder? 🥃

Bryce Haysom’s experience with a movement disorder started with tremors in his hands, without initially knowing what was causing them.

After eventually finding out what was happening, Bryce was prescribed medication that is also used by people with Parkinson’s. He explains that the medication significantly reduced the episodes, but there was another part of the treatment that caught him completely off guard.

When social events could trigger the tremors, doctors recommended having two shots of wh***ey.

Bryce says the recommendation isn’t limited to Australia, describing it as something used worldwide — which he found “absolutely ridiculous.”

In Episode 76 of The Grey Man Podcast, Bryce Haysom talks about his movement disorder, living with tremors, his experiences with jiu-jitsu and competition, military life, the veteran community and the projects he’s building beyond service.
