94: Beulah Koale | Why Men Struggle To Ask For Help

THE MARTIN SHOW

Show Notes

Today I sit down with Hollywood actor, proud husband & father Beulah Koale.

We discuss his early life in South Auckland and how he contributes a lot of his success to that place. Beulah shares how his darkness became a driving force and why he now sees it as his superpower.

We dive into the reality of what Hollywood is really like, but more importantly, the internal battles that come with being a man—why so many struggle to ask for help, and what it means to carry everything on your own.

Lastly, Beulah reflects on how his kids have given him the opportunity to become the man he never had growing up and why protecting your energy, your circle, and your focus matters more than ever.

In this episode, I sit down with Seb Serrano, also known as 9-5er for an honest conversation about the 9–5. We talk about whether a conventional life is really a mundane one, why doing more isn’t always the answer, and why learning to rest can be an act of self-love. Seb also opens up about his own lost phase, what helped him come through the other side, male depression, his Chilean whakapapa, and one of the things many of us struggle with most: receiving love. A conversation about slowing down, finding your way back to yourself, and questioning whether we’re actually living — or simply getting through the week.

Ethan also shares his proudest moment on Home and Away, his relationship with his brother, and how working on an Australian soap has helped him connect more deeply with his Māori culture. A conversation about identity, success, culture and becoming comfortable with who you are.
