The Pocket with Chris Griffin

Welcome to episode 61 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.Today I sit down with Hunter McIntyre—one of the greatest endurance & hybrid athletes of our time, a three-time HYROX world champion, and an all-around larger-than-life character.Hunter is known for his insane fitness, unmatched competitiveness, and his jock-like persona online. But behind the records and the bravado is a wild story of rebellion, struggle, and transformation.He opens up about his troubled teenage years—getting into trouble, bouncing in and out of rehab centers, and being prescribed nearly every medication under the sun. It was a chaotic time that could have easily sent him down the wrong path permanently.We talk about the turning point—when everything changed and how he took control of his life, channeling that restless energy into becoming one of the most dominant endurance athletes in the world. He shares the lessons he learned along the way, from pushing physical and mental limits to understanding what truly matters in life.This was one of my favourite conversations to date. Hunter brings an insane amount of energy, honesty, and wisdom, and I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.Follow Hunter:https://www.instagram.com/huntthesheriff/Follow Chris:https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/Thank you to 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 15% 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/chrisThank you Gymshark! Use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 15% off:https://www.gymshark.com/Thank you to Papa Macros!Use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 10% off your orders for life.https://www.papamacros.com.au/

Welcome to episode 60 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.Today I sit down with Dominique Elissa—a successful model, podcast host, and someone who’s been through some serious highs and lows.Dom has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, but her journey hasn’t been all glitz and glamour. She opens up about struggling with insomnia, anxiety, and disordered eating during her early modelling days, the toll it took on her, and how she found a way to turn her life around.We also dive into something incredibly personal—her recent engagement and rushed wedding. When we recorded this episode just two weeks ago, she had only just said "yes" to the love of her life. But soon after, she had to fast-track her wedding due to her mother’s battle with cancer. She was adamant that her mum had to be there, so they made it happen—right in the hospital. An emotional rollercoaster, to say the least.Through it all, gratitude has been the anchor that’s kept Dominique grounded. She shares how practicing gratitude helped her navigate both rock-bottom moments and incredible highs, and why it’s such a crucial part of her life today.Follow Dom:https://www.instagram.com/dominiquelissa/Grab one of the Self Journal’s from Dom’s website and use code “Pocket” for 20% off!https://selfdom.au/collections/allThank you to Papa Macros!Use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 10% off your orders for life.https://www.papamacros.com.au/Follow Chris:https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/

Welcome to episode 58 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.Today I sit down with 360, one of Australia’s biggest rappers. If you were into Aussie hip-hop in the early 2010s, you definitely knew his name. His album Falling & Flying blew up, and for a while, he was at the top of the game. But behind the success, things were falling apart.360 has spoken before about his addiction to codeine, which got so bad he was taking up to 90 pills a day. It nearly killed him. In this chat, we go deep—not just into his rise and fall, but into the guilt and shame he still carries. His parents think they failed him, but he insists they did nothing wrong. At one point, he completely broke down, sharing just how heavy it all still feels.This is one of the rawest episodes I’ve ever recorded. It’s about addiction, family, regret, the rise and fall of one’s career, the impact fame has on you, social media challenges and so, so, so, much more.Enjoy!Follow 360:https://www.instagram.com/3ree6ixty/Follow Chris:https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/Thank you to Melrose Future Lab!Start to feel alive and running on all cylinders with their NAD+ Booster product.

Welcome to episode 57 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!In this episode, I sit down with my good mate Brad McDonnell, co-founder of Manna Vitality, to dive deep into life’s biggest questions. What does it truly mean to be here? Why do we exist? We unpack different ideologies, perspectives, and personal experiences around these questions—this one goes deep.One of the things that makes Brad unique is how he balances business and spirituality—two things that most people struggle to integrate. Usually, it’s one or the other, but Brad has managed to build a thriving business while staying grounded in his spiritual practices. We get into how he found that balance, the challenges along the way, and what keeps him aligned in both areas.This conversation was raw, deep, and eye-opening. Whether you're someone chasing success, looking for more meaning in life, or just curious about different ways of thinking, this episode will leave you questioning everything (in the best way possible).Follow Brad:https://www.instagram.com/bradleyronmac/Follow Chris:https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/Thank you to Melrose Future Lab!Start to feel alive and running on all cylinders with their NAD+ Booster product.

It was very inspiring to chat about. We also spoke about touring the world, surfing, what he does outside of his work and so much more. Ziggy has a new album called New Love coming out on Friday this week.Follow Ziggy:https://www.instagram.com/ziggyalberts/Thank you to Melrose Future Lab!Start to feel alive and running on all cylinders with their NAD+ Booster product.

Welcome to episode 54 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!Noah Hunter Dorsey steps into the podcast world for the first time, and he’s not holding back. This is one of those stories that makes you rethink what’s possible.Noah isn’t just a guy with multiple 7-figure businesses—he’s someone who’s lived a lot of life. Before the success, before the crazy marketing wins, he hit rock bottom. No money. No direction, in a city he didn’t like, wondering what the hell was next.In a last-ditch effort to figure himself out, he packed a bag and took off on a two-month, soul-searching journey to India. No business plans. No clear path. Just a deep dive into self-discovery. That trip changed everything. When he got back to Melbourne, he went all in on building his own businesses. Hustling, failing, learning—until one day, the universe decided to throw him a lifeline in the wildest way possible.Out of nowhere, his phone rings. On the other end? Bianca Censori. Kanye West’s wife. And she’s got a proposition: handle the marketing for Yeezy.Noah takes it on and completely flips the script. He scales sales from $40K a day to a jaw-dropping $19 million in a single day—thanks to a perfectly executed Super Bowl ad. From sleeping on the floor to pulling in numbers most people can’t even dream of.This was a good one! I can’t wait for you to tune in.Follow Noah:https://www.instagram.com/noahhunterdorsey/Thank you to Melrose Future Lab!Start to feel alive and running on all cylinders with their NAD+ Booster product.
