- Episode 4 is live. Jack McCoy is a business owner, a brand new dad, and somehow also running marathons. He talks about the stuff nobody tells you about being a dad, what it really takes to trust your team when you're not there, and how a single text message from his wife saved his race at the 35km mark. Worth a listen.

EPISODE LINKS IN THE COMMENTS - Joel Beveridge joins us for an honest conversation about life on and off the court, and what it took to finally ask for help.
In this episode, Joel opens up about growing up on the Northwest Coast with very little, finding his path to university and teaching, and what it's really like to juggle 20 seasons of basketball, a young family, a side business, and a career in education, all while managing undiagnosed ADHD.

Joel shares the pivotal moment a workplace blow-up forced him to confront his mental health, how therapy and an ADHD diagnosis completely changed his life at home and at school, and why he now champions open conversations about mental wellbeing with his students and those around him.

In this one, we’re joined by Connor Jack Scheffer (aka Cheffamc ). This isn't just another chat; it’s a proper look at what it takes to climb out of a dark hole and actually turn things around.

Connor doesn't hold back. He walks us through the tough stuff, losing his mum way too young, the spiral into addiction, and the reality of being at rock bottom. He’s also dead honest about the people he had around him, the ones who were dragging him down, and the ones that were building him up!

The best part of this story is the last year. Connor shares how he finally drew a line in the sand and used writing and rap as his way out. He’s traded the chaos for lyrics, and he’s proof that no matter how much life kicks you in the guts, you can still find a way to stand back up.

18 months is a long time to be quiet, but it’s a lot of time to grow. 🌱

We are officially moving on from The Better Blokes Project and stepping into something that reflects where we are today. Welcome to the In Progress Podcast.

Why the change? Because through every story we’ve told, one thing became clear: your life is a work in progress until the very end. When something is 'in Progress' it means you haven't reached your end outcome, and until you do, you have the opportunity to steer your ship in whatever direction you like.

We’re back. We’re different. And we’re just getting started.
