[00:38:06] S1: It's harsh, isn't it? It's harsh. But, hey, building business is a harsh one of questions we ask all, I guess, is a bit of a mental health one. What do you both turn to to get some energy back in your life? [00:38:16] S3: I can go first. A lot of exercise. Adam and I both try and work out every day. It's kind of a company thing with our employees. We encourage them to work out every day. Just think it's one of best things you can do. And then I try and do, like, things that are, like, more creative now. So, like, tonight, I have a salsa class. So I'm trying to [00:38:33] S2: do, like... Sachin is so bad at salsa. He gave us a demonstration on the weekend, and he looked like a steam engine. Yeah. [00:38:39] S0: But you you need a partner [00:38:40] S1: to be good. [00:38:40] S0: I was [00:38:41] S3: I was so... The most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. You you need a partner to look good at it. Alright. [00:38:46] S2: Your girlfriend's coming here after to meet you for dinner. Yeah. I want you two to show me. Okay. Okay. Yeah. [00:38:52] S1: Okay. Send us a video. We'll use it to provide the clip... To provide this episode. [00:38:56] S0: Of course. Yeah. No. It'll it'll be [00:38:59] S3: your best performing pod of all time if we if we get in the groove.

[00:38:59] S3: your best performing pod of all time if we if we get in the groove. [00:39:02] S0: Mhmm. Got I that feeling. I feel like you're in the pocket, bro. That dancing and stuff and movement and trying new things, I feel like sorta leans into the personality of someone creating stuff, ain't it? It's just like trying new things, getting outside the comfort zone, and having a crave. Yeah. [00:39:16] S3: Adam's more for you, Adam. [00:39:18] S2: I've got a rational answer and then a thoughtful answer. The rational answer is that I exercise a lot. Like, I just love fitness and gym and stuff, and, like, training for, like, marathons and a high rocks event. So, like, exercise every day whether it's running, gym, yoga, on the weekend, like, often twice a day. And that just gives me a lot of energy. [00:39:33] S0: Like, I've got a lot
00:39:33 · Lachlan Bradford, Adam Miller, Sachin
[00:39:33] S0: Like, I've got a lot [00:39:34] S2: of energy to burn and I get a lot of energy back from exercising. I love it. And then I think the soulful answer is, like, you know, how do I... Think it's, like, possible to become, like, more robotic, rational, and, like, calculating when you're a founder because, like, you're trying to push through pain barriers, you're trying to make a lot of rational decisions. But you can lose a little bit of your soul at times as well. So, like, to induce more soulfulness in my life, like, there's lot of reading that I like to do, various different books, like a lot of journaling, a lot of writing. Like, on the weekend, was trying to write some poetry that was very, very bad. But, like, just that sort of stuff to get in touch with, like, feelings, emotions, like like, truly how you feel. Yeah. [00:40:14] S0: Love that. I read your bio on the the website and it says you like sitting in cafes too, Sachin, and just people watching and writing as well. [00:40:23] S3: Yeah. I I like journaling more so than Adam. I haven't I haven't dabbled in poetry. We went away on the weekend and everyone was getting up and we saw Adam in the garden. I'm like, what is he doing? And he comes up and he's like, I'm writing poetry. But then we didn't get to hear any of it. There was one that was called, like, bushfire magic or something. [00:40:38] S2: Oh my god. It's called Sunday Blues in the Bush. [00:40:40] S0: Okay. Sunday Blues in the Bush.

[00:40:40] S0: Okay. Sunday Blues in the Bush. [00:40:42] S2: I just have, like... I get very melancholy and sad on a Sunday, so I I need to do things to combat that. [00:40:48] S0: No. I like that. You gotta put your feelings out there sometimes. I've got... [00:40:51] S1: And it's You wrote songs? [00:40:52] S0: Yeah. I wrote songs. I feel like, honestly, writing that sort of stuff, it was sort of like in a in a punk rocky type of setup, but it's like, the stuff that I wrote out, I was like, oh, man. What... Like, this does feel very like what I'm thinking at the time. And it's just like beauty, mate. You just put it out there, and it's like, hopefully, people just sing along to the to [00:41:08] S1: the Yeah. [00:41:08] S3: So what do you what do [00:41:09] S2: you guys do? [00:41:10] S0: What do you guys do to chill out? For me, honestly, doing all this stuff, I love it. So it's like switching off for me. I don't really I don't really want to switch off, but when I do, it's like golf. It's just seriously just like... That's why I have, like, cold showers or end with cold showers is because it's just like you can't help but stop to think or just take your mind off something. [00:41:31] S1: Yeah. Well, you you felt a bit angry after your golf game yesterday. We played together and gave him a bit of a touch up and I feel [00:41:37] S0: like And I'm informed too. He might have had to have [00:41:39] S1: a few cold showers. For me, [00:41:41] S0: I I just... It's a bit [00:41:42] S1: the same getting out living down this sort of way down here.

[00:41:42] S1: the same getting out living down this sort of way down here. [00:41:46] S0: The red wine lately. Yeah. [00:41:48] S2: Oh, red wine is good for winter blues. Yeah. [00:41:51] S1: I've been spending time with my daughter. Family and daughter. [00:41:54] S0: Oh, that's a nice safe answer. [00:41:55] S1: But it... No. But she is. It's it's different. She doesn't care about anything. You know? Like, it's like, she likes [00:42:00] S0: She feed me. [00:42:01] S1: As a kid. She's 2.5 years old. She just likes to have fun and do different stuff. So if you're not present, she lets you know. [00:42:07] S0: You know? Like, when... Look. When are you having a kid? When am I having a kid? Yeah. Oh, then hopefully soon. I feel like as I'm getting... I always thought I'd be an older dad, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah. Because I feel like I'm not that ready [00:42:20] S1: for Mature? [00:42:21] S0: Yeah. Yeah. Mature. It's like, can't even really look after myself, and it's like, throw someone else in the mix, and it's like... But then I see... Like, everyone around me has got kids and stuff, so it's like, I definitely see the the positive side. [00:42:31] S2: Yeah. Wouldn't you wanna have kids, like, roughly at the same time so, you know, they can grow up together? You guys can sit back and watch and play and stuff. [00:42:38] S0: 100%. But I wanna be the last one. [00:42:40] S1: My daughter loves Lach. Like, I feel like Lach spent as much time as anyone besides... Outside of my, like, direct family with [00:42:46] S0: She calls me dad. That's weird. She doesn't
00:42:46 · Lachlan Bradford, Robbie Hicks
[00:42:46] S0: She calls me dad. That's weird. She doesn't [00:42:48] S1: do it. She loves him. She talks, like, they'll they'll FaceTime. They'll talk. You'll go get his, like,. Most of the time, it's like, where's Winston, though? Yeah. Like, Winston's locked my dog. [00:42:58] S0: Yeah. So [00:42:58] S1: it's like, you say hi, then she's just like, where's your dog? You know? It's just fun. [00:43:01] S0: But I feel like, honestly, like, that type of stuff that that... It's... It breaks away from like... Because, like, well, I feel like it's all encompassing. Like, everything that we do is just so ingrained. It's every day, and I feel like just It's [00:43:12] S1: the same as you, lads. It's like being two friends running the business, doing things together, it is hard sometimes to separate work and life. And for us, I think what we've tried to... We've learned through the... Doing this together over the last few years through the ups and downs is like, the only thing that really matters is life first, business, whatever, like, we're we're friends before we did anything and we'll be friends afterwards. So I think for us, it's like learning to juggle and for me becoming a new dad in a middle... In a period of this sort of stuff and like having to figure out what does it... What does life look like on no sleep and why having some different stuff going on, some health things. So it's like having to take a step back on some different things and then like [00:43:49] S0: And then when
