I WANT TO LIVE TO 100…

But I want to do it the proper way and actually enjoy my life.

So, I’m going to talk to Australian experts to help me cut through the BS and discover how we can optimise all the important stuff around longevity like sleep, exercise and nutrition.

My team and I are going to document the whole journey. So if you are interested in finding out how we can live a longer and healthier life.

TOO MANY PEOPLE AVOID THE REAL CONVERSATIONS…

There’s no sugar coating. There’s no hiding behind fancy marketing slogans. Just an honest conversation with me, Mark Bouris.

Johnny Gannon has been a leading name in the fitness industry for over 20 years, training NRL teams, professional surfers, and elite athletes.

We delved into his upbringing in Maroubra, the story behind the Bra Boys, and his path to becoming a highly respected personal trainer. Johnny’s journey took him around the globe as the trainer for surf legend Taj Burrow and he’s got some powerful insights on getting your life back on track, taking charge of your health, the value of a strong community and his Big8 challenge.

Johnny’s Big8 Challenge launches on February 3rd! This eight-week program is all about building lasting healthy habits through intense workouts, smart nutrition, and proper recovery. It kicks off with a DEXA scan and brings you into the Big8 crew for some friendly competition and a supportive community. With programs tailored for beginners, intermediate, and advanced fitness levels, there’s something for everyone.

Peter Bol is an Australian Olympian who has represented the country in the 800 meters. He competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, placed fourth at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and won a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

We had a fascinating conversation about Peter's life—from fleeing the Sudanese civil war to growing up in Toowoomba, his introduction to athletics, his journey as an elite athlete, his Olympic experiences, how he dealt with the doping scandal for which he was ultimately cleared, how he bounced back from the incorrect doping allegations, what he's up to now, and so much more.

RISE
Mark Bouris’ new book seeks to build an army of business warriors.

“If my hunch is correct, and Australians do care about our business community, then I think there’s enough of us out there to get together, and shout loud enough that the government will stop and listen.

Anyone who’s not getting a weekly or monthly wage dropped into their bank account, I’m talking to you. Our committed group of people, our army of business warriors, starts right here.”
