🤼 Episode 367 - Ben Vickers - MMA Beyond the Cage, Alcohol is bad Fighting is good

This week we’re joined by Ben Vickers — co-owner of Eternal MMA, founder of Scrappy MMA & Fitness, and the man in the corner of UFC World Champion Jack Della Maddalena. Ben opens up about his journey from battling alcohol to finding clarity and purpose in coaching, and the mindset it takes to set a goal as ambitious as guiding an athlete to UFC gold.

We dive into all things MMA — from the grind of training and building a fight team, to the evolution of Eternal MMA and the growing fight scene in Australia. Ben shares the lessons he’s learned along the way, both inside and outside the cage, and how focus, discipline, and resilience shaped him into one of the sport’s most respected coaches.

📲 With the Albanese government already pushing its own Digital ID framework, many are beginning to wonder whether “voluntary” today could quietly become “mandatory” tomorrow.

The concern isn’t just about convenience—it’s about control, privacy, and choice. Once a Digital ID system is entrenched, will Australians still have alternative ways to access services, or will participation become unavoidable? The UK’s move shows how quickly policies can shift from optional to enforced. Is Australia preparing to follow suit, and if so, are we ready for the consequences?

⚠️ Digital ID is being sold as convenience, but in the UK it’s already moving to mandatory, and Australia isn’t far behind with the Digital ID Act 2024. It may start as voluntary, but what happens when banking, Medicare, Centrelink or even your phone number all require it? One system linking every part of life could mean more control, more surveillance, and more risk than we’ve ever faced. Convenience today, control tomorrow — where do we draw the line?

🤔 Episode 365 - Jon Pinder - Alan Watts Philosophy, Faith and Harmony

In this episode, I’m joined by comedian Jon Pinder for a conversation that moves effortlessly between humor and depth. We explore philosophy through the lens of Alan Watts and Jesus, question the human need to always be right, and confront the dangers of division in today’s world. Together we reflect on shifting priorities, the importance of letting go of old friends and relationships that no longer align, and what it truly means to grow.

And then—we switch gears and relive our incredible experience in Manchester, where we both witnessed Oasis live. From the energy of the crowd to the nostalgia in every lyric, we break down what made the concert unforgettable and why music has the power to unify

It’s part philosophy, part life reflection, part rock ’n’ roll—and fully a Hard Yarns moment.
