Nick puts co-host Tim Brown in the hot seat to tell the story of how he went from soldier to business owner. Tim spent seven years in the Australian Army’s Armoured Corps and deployed to Iraq, training local soldiers before they were sent into the battle for Mosul. He talks about what that was like, why soldiers train for a fight they may never get, and the time away from his wife that led him to leave the army before starting a family. He then joined Australian Border Force, where frustratio...
This one’s for the dads in the trenches. Business is down, government changes have gutted our industry and the bills keep coming. We get honest about what that does to you at home. Carrying the stress so your family doesn’t have to, why it still leaks out as shortness and impatience, and how to own it when it does.

Tinfoil hats on. Nick brings the Port Arthur conspiracy to the table: the surrendered rifle, the locked exits, the custom morgue truck and the witness accounts.

We kick off with Tim's best troll comebacks, how he handles the hate, and whether Instagram fin...

Lockdowns, the CFMEU, the treaty, immigration, a $200 billion state debt and an election two months away. We cover the lot. Plus child safety in remote communities, uni as a money machine, tradies getting poached by government projects and business owners paying more tax than they keep. Straight talk on what plenty of Aussies are thinking but won't say out loud.
Tim and Nick get into what actually works when it comes to raising kids, no theory, just what they've tried and what's stuck. They break down the "high standards, high love" approach, why consistent follow through beats yelling every time, and the wording shift from threats to "when you do this, then that happens" that changed how their kids respond. They also get into modelling accountability by owning their own mistakes in front of their kids, the wildly different experience of raising boys...
