Balance is BS — Be FORMIDABLE.
A podcast on what it means and what it takes to become a well-rounded human being.
For years, I found success in my work and fitness. I’d built one of Perth’s leading Chiropractic clinics and reached my brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. But those years came with extremes: work hard, play hard was my mentality.
At a certain point, the vices and addictions caught up to me. This led me on a new journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.
Now – I’m sharing that with you – along with the stories of experts and leaders in the world of health and fitness, business, psychology and more.
Thank you for listening.

Ryan Wilson: Finding Purpose and Overcoming PTSD – Lessons from an SAS Soldier
Ryan Wilson is a former SAS soldier, co-founder of Working Paws Australia and business consulting company, Exas Group, and general manager of Whipper Snapper Distilery. We discuss the mental and physical challenges veterans face and the incredible role therapy dogs play in supporting those with PTSD and other mental health issues. Ryan shares his journey from serving in the SAS to transitioning into civilian life.
We cover:
• How therapy dogs have become a lifeline for veterans struggling with mental health.
• The key lessons Ryan learned from the SAS, including mental toughness, resilience, and leadership.
• The difficulties of transitioning from military life to the civilian world and why finding a new purpose is critical.
• Ryan’s journey at Whippersnapper Distillery and how it helped him regain a sense of belonging.
• A deep dive into masculinity, emotional intelligence, and the struggles men face in building real connections today.
• The rise in veteran suicides and why it’s crucial to provide ongoing support to those leaving the military.
• Ryan’s story is a testament to resilience and finding meaning after military service, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, veteran support, or the incredible bond between humans and dogs.
