The Pocket with Chris Griffin

Welcome to episode 29 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!Today I’m joined by two of my really good friends, Jordan and Zac Stenmark, who are not just the largest twin male models in the world but also remarkable individuals with an inspiring story.We dive into their sporty upbringing and the challenges they faced growing up with dyslexia. Jordan and Zac candidly share their experiences of being bullied at school for not being able to read, making school life a constant struggle. Jordan referred to these times in the episode as “terror”. Despite these difficulties, they turned their challenges into the drive that led them to where they are today.I’ve known Jordan and Zac for years, and we used to catch up every morning over coffee at our favourite cafe in Bondi, The Depot. Our conversations often drifted into deep, interesting topics, and this episode felt like a continuation of those daily chats.I loved this one fam and I hope you do too!Follow Jordan & Zac:https://www.instagram.com/jordanandzacThank you to our sponsor of this episode: Switch NutritionView my Chris Griffin Collection Page below to grab some of the products that I love and take daily.You can use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 20% off!https://switchnutrition.com.au/collections/chris-griffin?rfsn=7921810.4c98a4Thank you to Whoop!If you want to take your health and fitness to the next level try Whoop for free today with my link below:https://join.whoop.com/chrisI am picking ONE of you to get a free band in whatever colour you want that orders their whoop with my link in the first 7 days of this podcast airing.Follow The Pocket on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thepocketpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to episode 28 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Wow, wow, wow… This episode is probably my favourite to date. I sit down with CJ Bloomfield, a man whose life story sounds like something straight out of a movie. CJ's journey is nothing short of extraordinary, going from a life immersed in crime and gang culture to being sentenced to 28 years in prison. However, fate had other plans for him—he served just 2 years after his two biggest charges were dropped.But what CJ did with those 2 years is what makes his story truly remarkable. While in solitary confinement, CJ began honing his acting skills, using the graffiti on his cell wall as an imaginary camera. Little did he know that this practice would set him on a path that would change his life forever.Two years after leaving prison, CJ landed a role in a movie alongside Chris Hemsworth, and his life took a complete 180. Now, he's on track to becoming a major A-list celebrity with some massive projects in the works.We dive deep into his incredible transformation, discussing the lessons CJ learned along the way, the healing journey he's undertaken, and what it takes to turn your life around in the most profound way possible.I could write a full book recapping this episode but I will leave it there - you will just have to tune in! I’m excited to hear your thoughts.If you enjoy the show please leave us a 5 star review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and subscribe to the YouTube channel.Follow CJ:https://www.instagram.com/cj.bloomfield/Thank you to our sponsor of this episode: Switch NutritionView my Chris Griffin Collection Page below to grab some of the products that I love and take daily.You can use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 20% off!https://switchnutrition.com.au/collections/chris-griffin?rfsn=7921810.4c98a4Thank you to Whoop!If you want to take your health and fitness to the next level try Whoop for free today with my link below:https://join.whoop.com/chrisI am picking ONE of you to get a free band in whatever colour you want that orders their whoop with my link in the first 7 days of this podcast airing.Follow The Pocket on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thepocketpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to episode 25 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! We're sitting down with Patrick Murtagh today, a guy whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary. I first met Patty playing AFL with the GC Suns here in Australia. I was in the academy when he got drafted. Things took a turn when he got dropped from the team a few years later, but he didn't let that stop him. He kept grinding and eventually got drafted into the NFL.But, as life would have it, just before he could sign his NFL contract, an injury sent him back home. Most people would have thrown in the towel, but not Patty. He worked even harder, pushed through the rehab, and got picked up by the Jaguars.What's truly inspiring about Patty is his dedication to his family. He's doing all of this to support his mum and sister, especially after losing his father to cancer. This episode dives deep into Patty's highs and lows, his relentless spirit, and the love that keeps him going.This story was wild… An eye opener for sure.Enjoy!Follow Patty:https://www.instagram.com/patrick.murtagh/Thank you to our sponsor of this episode: Switch NutritionView my Chris Griffin Collection Page below to grab some of the products that I love and take daily.You can use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 20% off!https://switchnutrition.com.au/collections/chris-griffin?rfsn=7921810.4c98a4Thank you to Whoop!If you want to take your health and fitness to the next level try Whoop for free today with my link below:https://join.whoop.com/chrisI am picking ONE of you to get a free band in whatever colour you want that orders their whoop with my link in the first 7 days of this podcast airing.Follow The Pocket on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thepocketpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.
