The Betar Project
I was once labeled the shy, quiet, introverted kid — a label that became my identity and dictated my life. But in 2019, I made a decision to break free from my comfort zone and start creating the life I truly wanted. That’s when 'The Betar Project Podcast' was born.
My mission is simple: to push myself toward becoming the best version of who I can be by engaging with the highest-performing men in the world. And I’m bringing you along for the ride.
Through raw, unfiltered conversations, we’ll challenge your mindset, your emotions, and your actions. Together, we’ll equip you with the tools, insights, and strategies you need to transform your mental state and build the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Join me on this journey — I hope you gain as much from these conversations as I do.
New episodes drop every Monday at 6 AM AEST.
