Bill worked for many years in the ADF as a PTI and is an all round legend of a bloke. He currently refers to himself as a breath-work practitioner. We dive into different types of breath-work and how he has used them to heal injuries, a little bit about SARM's, a challenge that left him experiencing rhabdo, a new challenge for the future and sprinkled in is some self development. Basically he likes to push the boundaries of human performance and that's what I like to dissect and breakdown with people. So enjoy this one with Bill Burnett!

School of distance education, riding and competing on horses, working cattle all while being vegetarian at the age of 17. In her mid 20's Zoe learned and saw the benefits of a RAW food diet for herself, which then lead into learning to teach yoga, which then lead into coaching people to feel their body with a range of different tools in her toolbox including hypnotherapy and sex coaching just to name a few.
We talk about the masculine and feminine energy balance in relationships, expectations of men in relationships, pros and cons of polygamy/open relationships.
