This week we're joined by our good mate Lee — running coach, boxing coach, fitness trainer, and all-round Mr. Athlete. What starts as a chat about run clubs, 5K PBs, and the Milan Marathon turns into one of the most honest conversations we've had on the pod.Lee opens up about losing his dad, losing his best friend Martin, Sam's mum's dementia diagnosis, and how years of burying it all nearly caught up with him — and how running, fatherhood, and finally letting his guard down changed everything.We also get into:Lee's boxing background and working corners in the pro game (Kiko Martinez, Gavin Wyn, Tim CutlerWhy he walked away from 70-hour weeks as a PT and what that decision cost and gave himThe Fury vs Joshua debate — too late, or still worth watching?Rico Verhoven, backyard ultras, sub-2 marathons, and the infamous 5K the week after MilanBeer of the week: a gluten-free Belgian pilsner — 8.3/10And the question every coach gets asked: what's the first step?A proper one, this.

What happens when a man decides to give himself 30 minutes a day — and then convinces hundreds of others to do the same?

This week on Goodfellerz, we sat down with Chris Ritchens, the man behind Give Yourself 30 (GY30) — a movement built on one simple idea:

30 minutes of movement a day can change your life, physically AND mentally.

Chris opens up about what drove him to start GY30, his own battles with mental health, and why he believes showing up — even when you really don't want to — is the whole game.

He's running a 5K every single day in 2026.

On Day 100, he didn't run alone — over 100 runners joined him. The Friday run club he started has grown to hundreds of members.

And this thing is still just getting started.We get into it all — the dark days, the early mornings, the community that's grown out of nothing, and why 30 minutes might be the most powerful investment you make in yourself.

Shaun & Clarke headed down to Chew Valley Distillery to catch up with the GY30 run club crew — and what a group they are.

Fresh off completing a Tough Mudder that very morning, Chris joins us first to talk medals, favourite shirts and why Kanye's Runaway is the ultimate running track.

Then Lee — fitness coach and founder of Concrete Therapy Running Club — talks Milan Marathon glory, club runs and why not every day needs to be a race day.

Terry, a lifelong family friend and Clarke's Dad, shares an incredible story — doing a 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon AND ultramarathon all in one day back in 2018, plus his ongoing mission to complete 70 events for his 70th year.

And finally Joe, host of the distillery and accidental half marathoner, tells us how the GY30 run club completely reignited his love for running.

Are we more connected than ever… or more alone than ever?In this episode of the Goodfellerz Podcast, we dive into the growing loneliness epidemic affecting millions of people — especially men. Despite social media, constant communication, and thousands of online “friends”, many people are feeling more isolated than ever before.We open up about personal experiences with loneliness, grief, heartbreak, and the quiet struggles that many men carry without talking about. Loneliness isn’t just a feeling — studies now show it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, depression, and even early death, with some experts comparing its impact to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.We also explore why younger generations (16–24) are reporting the highest levels of loneliness despite growing up in the most digitally connected era in history. Are social media platforms actually making us feel more disconnected?This episode breaks down:• Why loneliness is becoming a silent epidemic• Why many men struggle to talk about mental health• The hidden dangers of digital “connections”• How honest conversations and real communities can change lives• Practical ways to build stronger friendships and support systemsAt Goodfellerz, we believe conversations like this matter. Opening up, checking in on your mates, and building real connections can make a huge difference.If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who might need to hear it.🎙 Listen / Watch the Goodfellerz Podcast for real conversations about life, mental health, sport, culture, and everything in between.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes.#mensmentalhealth #loneliness #goodfellerz #mentalhealth #podcast #mensupport #mentalhealthawareness #realconversations #modernmen #talkinghelps #fyp

Most people settle for average. But what if the chaos in your life is actually the opportunity?

On this episode of Best in the World, Clarke and Shaun pull back the curtain on the unexpected wins, messy moments, and behind-the-scenes stories that shaped their growth — from scoring a semi-final winning penalty to navigating podcast mishaps, community events, and spontaneous decisions that changed everything.

This isn’t polished motivation. It’s real talk.

We break down:

• Turning everyday conversations into growth opportunities
• Why unpredictability builds resilience
• Organising events like Tough Mudder and building community momentum
• Integrating mental health into real life — not just talking about it
• How spontaneous decisions (yes, even tattoo consultations) spark transformation
• Why setbacks are often setups in disguise

Plus:
Logan Paul’s record-breaking Pokémon card moment, the thrill of live streaming, and how embracing chaos might be the most powerful move you can make this year.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, athlete, or just feeling stuck — this episode will challenge you to step into the discomfort and see what happens.

Your next big win might be hiding inside your biggest mistake.
