Discipline, Mental Health & a Fight Night Comeback

From getting KO’d by his sister to becoming a 4–0 pro boxer, Jimmy “Two Shoes” brings stories that’ll leave you laughing, inspired, and maybe even booking a one-way ticket to Thailand.
In this episode, we dive into Jimmy’s wild journey—how he went from amateur boxing burnout to finding clarity and discipline in a remote Thai gym (and temple). We talk sak yant tattoos, training barefoot, being mentored by a monk, and running 8Ks on pure willpower.
Plus, we chat about Fortitude Boxing’s impact on mental health, community programs like "Boxing Baristas," and Jimmy’s upcoming fights in Thailand and (hopefully) his Aussie debut at Fortitude’s 40th Fight Night in August.
💥 Real talk. Real healing. Hilarious stories. This is why we do the Ripple Effect Podcast.

Real Talk with Dave and Marsh #5

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the unspoken side of hard work — the loneliness that creeps in while chasing the Aussie dream.
From seed retention to sitting down to piss (yes, really), Dave and Marshall unpack the emotional toll of grinding 24/7, missing family moments, and learning how to be happy alone.
There's banter, brutal honesty, mirror magic, and some classic north vs. southside Brisbane beef.
If you’ve ever worked yourself into the ground and still felt empty — this one's for you.

Real Talk with Dave & Marsh #4

Dave and Marsh reflect on growth, grief, and getting the words out right — just in time for Men’s Mental Health Month. What starts as a chat about delivery and mic presence turns into something deeper: self-reflection, emotional honesty, and the power of opening up as men.
From critiquing their own podcast style to unpacking raw moments they’ve lived through (and laughed through), this one’s as real as it gets. You’ll hear genuine talk about personal growth, mental struggles, and why it's so important to talk — even when you’re not sure how to start.
🎧 Listen in for:
Funny and heartfelt reflections on podcasting and life
Unspoken truths men often carry alone
A reminder that healing starts with conversation
Because sometimes the hardest delivery… is the emotional one.

Real Talk With Dave & Marshall #2

Ever trauma bonded over a laugh? In this episode, Dave and Marshall spill it all — toxic relationships, emotional healing, narcissists, family court chaos, and why crying in a truck is perfectly normal.
It’s deep, it’s raw, and it’s got more swearing than a highway CB. But underneath the banter is a serious message: heal your wounds, own your truth, and don’t wear a headset unless you’re 80.
You’ll laugh, nod, maybe cry — or at least feel better about your own life choices.
