🎙️ Nathan Cavaleri – The Battle, The Blues & The Breakthrough | The Men’s Collective Podcast
Welcome to a raw, no-BS conversation with Australian guitar maestro Nathan Cavaleri , the six-year-old prodigy who took over our TV screens on Hey Hey It’s Saturday, battled childhood leukaemia, toured with B.B. King, and now breaks his silence to tell the real story behind the spotlight.
In this episode, Wayno, Mikie, and Jamie dig deep into Nathan’s journey from battling cancer to handling fame, to losing himself and rebuilding from the ground up. It’s a powerful reminder that behind every man’s success story lies struggle, fear, and redemption.
We dive into:
-How Nathan’s journey began at age five with a guitar and led to a debut album at eleven.
-The battle with childhood leukaemia and how music became his survival tool.
-Sudden stardom, anxiety, insomnia, and identity collapse and the comeback no one saw coming.
-The mindset shift that redefined his music, mission, and purpose.
-Real talk for men about resilience, fatherhood, purpose, and rediscovering yourself when life breaks you.
This episode will hit home for any man who’s ever lost his spark, felt disconnected from his gift, or needed to find his way back. Nathan’s story reminds us that strength isn’t about never breaking it’s about rebuilding better.
Resilience. Redemption. Reconnection. One man’s story of fighting back and finding purpose again.

Broken Axe - Know Your Identity or Break Trying. | The Mens Collective Podcast | Episode 049
Every man is built for a purpose, but when he starts swinging at life out of character, things break.
In this hard-hitting episode, Wayno, Mikie, and Stevo sit down to talk about what happens when men forget who they are and start forcing themselves into roles they were never designed for. The conversation cuts deep into identity, purpose, and pressure—how easily men trade design for demand, showing up as who they think they should be instead of who they truly are.
This is not another feel-good podcast. It’s a forge — a place where men get stripped back and challenged. The boys talk openly about burnout, misplaced strength, comparison, and how modern life can break a man when he’s not living aligned with his true design.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re grinding hard but getting nowhere, strong in all the wrong areas but weak in what really matters, this episode will speak straight to you.
Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and get ready for a conversation that’ll challenge what you believe about identity, masculinity, and what it really means to be a man today.
Discover what happens when men stop pretending and start living as they were designed.

Staying Sharp - Keep Your Edge Or Lose Your Impact.
Every man starts sharp — full of drive, discipline, and purpose. But over time, the edge dulls. Life wears us down. We settle into comfort, routine, and distraction until the man staring back in the mirror has lost the grit that once defined him.
The truth is, staying sharp isn’t luck — it’s maintenance. Just like a blade, a man needs to be refined and honed. Some sharpening stones are coarse, designed to strip away what’s weak or unnecessary. Others are fine, polishing what’s already strong. Both are needed.
In life, those sharpening stones take many forms:
• The discipline of early mornings.
• The pressure of responsibility.
• The grind of business.
• The pain of failure.
• The patience required in marriage.
• The lessons that come through fatherhood.
• The resistance faced in training.
Every experience, challenge, and hardship is a stone meant to shape you — if you let it.
In this episode, the crew from The Men’s Collective dig into what it really takes to stay sharp in mind, body, and spirit. They unpack how to use life’s challenges as tools for growth, not excuses for softness, and how to keep your edge in a world that’s constantly trying to blunt it.
Sharpen your mind, body, and purpose. A raw conversation about staying disciplined, focused, and dangerous in the right ways.

SURVIVING THE UNTHINKABLE – “He Stole My Innocence, But Not My Voice” | The Men’s Collective Podcast
What does it take for a man to face the darkest chapter of his life out loud and in front of the world?
In this raw and emotional episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast, author of Tarzan Loves Jane, John Comerford joins Wayno, Jamie, and Mikie live in the studio to share his story of survival after being raped at just 11 years old by a Catholic school Brother while a Priest stood by and watched.
This isn’t just an interview — it’s a conversation between men about truth, pain, and the long road to healing when the unthinkable happens and innocence is stolen.
John opens up about what really happened, how it shaped the man he became, and what it takes to find peace after carrying something so heavy for so long.
The panel dives deep into:
• The lasting trauma of childhood abuse
• How silence and shame crush men’s lives
• Rebuilding trust, faith, and identity
• The power of men speaking truth without fear
• Finding strength through vulnerability
It’s one of our most powerful and confronting episodes yet — honest, uncomfortable, and deeply human.
Because real men don’t run from hard stories — they face them together.
One man’s story of survival, truth, and healing after the unthinkable.

Echo – Dealing Now With The Man You Were | The Men’s Collective Podcast
In this episode, Wayno, Mikie, Chrisso, and Jamie dive deep into the concept of the “echo”—the invisible ripple of our words, actions, and choices that stretches far beyond the moment we create them. Every decision we make, every truth we speak or hold back, and every step we take leaves a mark on ourselves and the people around us.
The panel explores accountability, personal growth, and the legacy we leave behind, sharing raw personal stories, hard lessons, and moments of reflection often left unspoken. This conversation doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. It’s a call to men to pause, listen, and ask themselves the tough questions:
What echoes are you sending into the world?
Are they lifting others or tearing them down?
When life returns them to you, are you ready to face what comes back?
Expect an unfiltered, thought-provoking discussion that challenges, inspires, and pushes men to take ownership of the life they’re creating and the echoes they leave behind.
What echoes are you leaving? A raw discussion on accountability, personal growth, and legacy for men.

In this week’s episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast, the boys from AverageJoes tackle:
1/ Ask Us Anything
Jamie chats it out with the lads as a listener writes in asking:
“My experience with my daughter after learning we weren't a DNA match. My situation and health was bad, contact slowed. Then she just stopped responding. What should I do? Reach out? Wait for her to make contact? In my situation, she once said, ‘It’s not about you.’”
2/ The Week That Was
Mikie gives his spin on:
Was Jimmy Kimmel’s sacking justifiable?
Albo gets kicked out of his own office.
3/ Out And About
Mikie and Wayno catch up with the boys from the AJ’s meetups and also the free community feed!
4/ Man vs Machine
The boys get asked the same question as Chad (ChatGPT) and compare the answers:
“When faced with a sudden, high-pressure decision at work or home, is instinct or planning more reliable for men?”
5/ Main Topic
Men have always been told to “adapt,” but at what cost? In this episode, Wayno, Mikie and Jamie unpack the chameleon effect—how men shift, blend, and change depending on their environment. From the workplace to relationships, fatherhood to friendships, the panel dives into whether this adaptability makes us stronger… or if it strips away our authenticity. Expect raw stories, real laughs, and hard hitting truths that challenge what it means to be a man today.

LOUD TOWERS – Building Masculinity with Strong Foundations | The Men’s Collective Podcast
Picture two towers:
One built with flashy bricks—loud, admired, but weak at the core.
The other built with solid foundations—steady, unnoticed, but unshakable when storms come.
That’s the choice every man faces in life.
In this episode, inspired by Charlie Kirk’s bold example, Wayno, Mikie, Jamie, and Chrisso explore what it means to build a life that’s both visible and unshakable—a tower that inspires others, endures pressure, and leaves a lasting legacy.
We wrestle with the big questions every man needs to face:
Are you chasing attention, or building real foundations?
Can boldness and groundedness coexist in marriage, business, and fatherhood?
How do you make sure your “tower” doesn’t crumble when life hits hard?
If you’re ready to challenge yourself, strengthen your foundation, and become the kind of man who stands firm, leads boldly, and lives with purpose, this episode is for you.

Can a leopard really change its spots—or is change just an illusion?” In this episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast, Wayno, Mikie, Craig, and Jamie take on one of the most confronting questions men face: Can men truly change?
Society often doubts men’s ability to grow, labeling them by their past mistakes and questioning whether transformation is even possible. Expectations from partners, families, workplaces, and even from themselves add another layer of pressure. Are men bound by their history, or can they rewrite their story and break free from old patterns?
This raw, no-BS conversation dives into redemption, accountability, and the uphill battle against both internal struggles and external judgment. The panel shares real-life experiences, honest reflections, and challenges the narrative that men are incapable of lasting change.
Expect laughs, hard truths, and moments that may hit uncomfortably close to home. If you’ve ever questioned whether men can evolve or felt the weight of being told you can’t then this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

Picture this: a ute that looks tough on the outside, all clean and shiny, maybe even lifted, but underneath it’s rusted to hell.
The chassis is weak, the bolts are crumbling, and one good bump could split it in two.
That’s what some of us men look like.
We’re holding it together on the surface, showing up for work, smiling at the BBQ, but inside, we’re corroding with stress, guilt, fear, or old wounds we haven’t faced.
Rust doesn’t scream for attention. It eats away slowly, in silence.
And if we don’t get under the vehicle and face it, it’ll collapse when the weight gets too heavy.
Join Wayno, Jamie, Jimmy and Steveo on the panel this week as the fellas deep dive into:
1️⃣ What part of your life looks solid but is rusting underneath?
2️⃣ What warning signs have you ignored because “everything seems fine”?
3️⃣ Who do you trust enough to help you do the deep maintenance?

Before the world knew his name, born in Kildare Ireland and driven to training since age 5 by his grandfather, he turned his life around when he was told something by that same man that would shape the rest of his life:

We ask is chivalry dead, and go deep on why masculinity is confusing purely because it is misunderstood.

There’s a war against masculinity—and at the frontline is a man’s worth.
In Part 2 of our powerful series The War on Masculinity, Wayno, Mikie, Jamie, and Chrisso go head-to-head with one of the biggest lies men are sold: "Your value is found in what you earn!"
This episode calls out the silent attack on male identity—where a man’s value is reduced to his income, productivity, or social status. Is your worth tied to your bank account? Are you disposable if you can’t provide? What happens when you’re no longer “useful” to the system?
In this raw and real conversation, the AverageJoes rip the mask off society’s expectations and explore how men can reclaim their value, fight back against shame, and live with purpose in a culture that wants them silent, soft, and small.

Whether you see it or not, there is a war going on, a war against men living in their masculinity.
Welcome to the bold new podcast series in which Wayno, Mikie, Stevo, and Jamie unpack the modern challenges men face in a rapidly changing world that, in many ways, seems against them.
In episode 1, Thermostats and Thermometers, we dive deep into the analogy of thermostats and thermometers in masculinity. Are you a thermostat controlling your environment, or a thermometer simply reacting to it? Together, we explore how men can take control of their lives, make tough decisions, and navigate the pressures of society while staying true to themselves. Expect raw, honest discussions that will challenge everything you thought you knew about being a man in today’s world.
