BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD! 😂❤️🇰🇪

This is the primary school where my dad went, my brothers and sisters went, and where I went too!

Today I went back, walked through the classrooms and had an absolute ball with the kids! 😂

The laughter, the smiles, the noise… brought back so many childhood memories!

For a moment, I felt like that little boy again.

Kakamega, you have my heart! ❤️🇰🇪

500KG LEG PRESS… BUT 15 MINUTES OF VILLAGE WORK FINISHED ME! 😂🇰🇪

I can lift heavy, train for hours and smash cardio.

But 10–15 minutes doing this? I WAS DONE! 😂💀

Meanwhile, people here do this from 8am to 3pm!

25 years ago, I could do this all day.

Today? All those years in the gym couldn’t save me! 🤣

DIFFERENT WORK. DIFFERENT FITNESS. DIFFERENT KIND OF TOUGH.

One thing’s certain… I’m having another crack before I leave Kenya.

My body needs reminding where it came from! 🇰🇪💪🏿

Who’s tougher — the gym warrior or the village worker? 😂👇

IF HEAVEN HAD A KITCHEN, I’D KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO ORDER. ❤️🇰🇪

Ugali and omena.

Growing up in Kakamega, nobody made it better than my mum. Nobody.

Today, I’m back home, eating the same food I grew up on.

And for a moment, I’m that little boy again.

I can almost hear Mum calling us to come and eat.

God, what I’d give to hear her voice one more time. To sit beside her and enjoy one more meal made by her hands.

I’ve travelled the world, eaten in beautiful places and experienced things I once only dreamed of.

But nothing will ever taste like Mum’s cooking.

Funny how one simple plate of food can bring so much happiness and heartbreak at the same time.

Mum, your boy is home. ❤️

Walking on the same soil you walked on. Eating the food you used to make. Remembering the love you gave us.

I wish you were here.

If your mum is still around, appreciate those little moments.

One day, they might become the memories you’d give anything to have back.

Love you, Mum.

Your little boy never forgot. ❤️🇰🇪

Every man need to listen to this.

01/10/2026

MEN, DO THIS FOR ME — AND FOR YOURSELF.

Write down the names of four men you could call today.

Not drinking buddies.

Not men who agree with everything you say.

Men who can look you in the eye and say:

“Bro, you’re fu***ng this up.”

And you respect them enough to listen.

Can you name four?

Three?

One?

I believe every man needs three things:

A HOBBY — somewhere to switch off and just be you.

GOOD MEN AROUND HIM — men who celebrate your wins but aren’t afraid to call you out.

A PURPOSE — something bigger than work, bills and getting through another week.

Now go back to those four names.

If you can’t write them down, don’t ignore it.

Start building your circle.

And if you genuinely have nobody you can have that conversation with, reach out.

We’ll start with one. 👊🏿

GUYS… THIS IS REALLY FU***NG HARD FOR ME TO SAY. 😂

Everyone knows I’m not a Dockers man.

But sometimes football colours have to come off for a minute, and you give a man his flowers when he’s earned them.

And this bloke has earned them.

Shaun McManus isn’t just a mate of mine. He’s one of my best mates and, more importantly, one of the genuinely good men I know.

I’ve watched him as a father.
As a husband.
As a mate.
As a former player.
As a presenter.

I’ve seen the way he looks after his body, the way he works, the way he treats people and the love he still has for the Fremantle Football Club.

And yes… it fu***ng hurts me writing that last sentence. 😂

But Shaun, this is your moment, brother.

To potentially stand there and present the Premiership Cup to the club you’ve given so much of your life to…

I know what that will mean to you.

And knowing you like I do, I’m pretty bloody sure if that moment comes, there’ll be a few tears.

And mate, if I see you crying while holding a Fremantle Premiership Cup, I genuinely don’t know whether I’m going to cry with you…

or turn the fu***ng TV off. 😂

But underneath all the banter, I’ll be proud.

Really fu***ng proud.

Because moments like this don’t just happen.

Sometimes you put the work in for years and nothing comes back.

You keep showing up.

You keep giving.

You keep believing.

And then maybe 10, 15 or 20 years later, life gives you a moment that makes all those years mean something.

That’s why you keep going.

So yes, for one moment, I’m swallowing every bit of my Eagles pride.

I hope you get your moment, brother.

I hope you stand there, take it all in, shed those tears and realise:

“F**k… all those years were worth it.”

Proud of you, Shaun. ❤️

Now let’s be very fu***ng clear…

I’m supporting YOU.
I’m still not supporting Fremantle. 😂💙💛

THE NIGHT WAS GOOD… IT’S ALWAYS THE NEXT MORNING THAT TELLS THE TRUTH. 😂

3am seemed like a brilliant idea at the time.

Today?

Sitting on the couch feeling like I’ve been hit by a fu***ng truck. 😂

What happened to the bloke who could go out Friday, Saturday AND Sunday and still function Monday?

Aging happened. 😂

But getting older doesn’t mean you stop living.

Dance. Laugh. Make memories. Enjoy your people.

We’re here for a short time.

The recovery might take longer these days…

but I’m still fu***ng dancing. 😂🕺🏿

Problems aren’t proof that life is against you.

They’re proof you’re still in the game.

Face them.
Learn from them.
Grow through them.

You’re alive. Keep going.

THIS ISN’T A POST ABOUT TRAINING LEGS.

Meet Rafael.

When I met him about 6–8 weeks ago, there was one thing he wouldn’t do in the gym.

Train legs.

Not because he couldn’t.

Because his mind had already decided he couldn’t.

He believed training legs would lead to injury, so he avoided them completely.

And this is where most people get stuck in life.

They don’t need more ability.

They need to stop obeying the fear in their own head.

We started challenging that belief. Slowly. Properly. Week after week.

Now Rafael trains legs consistently. He’s following a program, he knows what he’s doing, and he’s even got his girlfriend training legs.

But forget the legs.

The real win is that he stopped letting fear make decisions for him.

That’s what training can teach a man.

Walk towards what you’ve been avoiding.
Do the uncomfortable work.
Build evidence that you’re capable.
Then watch what happens to your confidence.

Because every time you keep a promise to yourself, something changes internally:

You start trusting yourself again.

And that carries far beyond the gym.

Most of what you’re capable of is sitting behind something you’ve convinced yourself you can’t do.

Stop negotiating with the fear. Go find out what you’re actually made of.

Proud of you, Rafael. 👊🏿

I’M LOOKING FOR 5 FATHERS.

Not fathers who think they’ve failed.

Fathers who know their relationship with their son is too important to leave to chance.

Your son is growing up.

And while providing for him matters, he needs more than what you can buy him.

He needs your time.
Your presence.
Your leadership.
And sometimes, he just needs to know his dad is beside him.

THE FORGE brings fathers and sons together through physical challenges, teamwork and real conversations — without phones, distractions or another lecture.

Your son is becoming a man.

Be part of the man he becomes.

I’m looking for 5 fathers and their sons for the next experience.

DM me “FORGE” for more information.
