It's All True with Chezzi & Grant Denyer

🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications to stay updated with new episodes. 👍🏽 Please leave a review, we appreciate all the support! What an amazing episode as we have none other than one of Australia’s most recognised, respected and loved couples; Chezzi and Grant Denyer who were some of the first people to take a chance on founder; Glenn Marsden when he approached them to be a part of these global efforts. When Grant’s images were released, the response was truly incredible. The stories, the emails, the messages of gratitude, we as a movement received from people hearing from somebody so well known in the public eye, share his struggles so openly and share his vulnerability through an image, that we don’t often see, was inspiring. It was even a bigger pivotal moment for me personally too, in seeing just how powerful the imagery and efforts were opening up conversations that were often hidden and being told it was saving lives. We discuss it all and more in this episode so brace yourself as always for an amazingly truthful, raw, unfiltered chat. Chezzi is a tv producer youtube, blogger, podcast host, mother, wife and manager to her husband, Grant who is a man of many talents from 2018 Gold Logie winner to motor-racing driver to Guinness World record holder and most importantly a husband and father. His TV career has spanned 2 decades which has made him one of Australia’s most loved radio and television presenters and has hosted nearly every big international TV format from Australia’s Got Talent, hosting the second season of Dancing with the Stars, appearing in the show himself recently and a special primetime series of the much loved Family Feud.

‘Imperfectly Perfect to me means what I’ve lived my life by. There is no perfect. There is no normal. But if you live by Dr.Seuss you can’t go wrong. 'Today you are you that is truer than true. There is no-one alive that is youer than you’ Britain's very own Gemma Oaten joins Founder Glenn Marsden to share her own very personal and raw story in which saw her struggle from a young age with an eating disorder which ultimately led to a heart attack. We here all about her amazing recovery and her journey with the help of her incredible parents, we hear of an amazing career which saw Gemma turn her adversity in to a passion of utilising pain she had gone through into a long and successful acting career in to characters and we learn about her taking over as the main driving force behind Seed, a non for profit in which her parents commenced over 20 years ago to help other families dealing with eating disorders within the family. This is such an open and honest conversation and we hope you all go and get behind Gemma and her parents efforts towards helping countless people struggling with Eating Disorders.

Jack Ryder: The Craft, The Fame And What Truly Matters

If this conversation meant something to you hit subscribe — new episodes every week with some of the world's most recognised faces. 💙 16 to 25 million people tuned in on Christmas Day to watch his final scene. Jamie Mitchell's exit from EastEnders remains one of the most watched moments in British soap history. But behind one of Britain's most recognisable faces was a story that went far deeper than the role that defined a generation. Inside the studio it was everything. Barbara Windsor. Steve McFadden. The most iconic cast in British television. Jack Ryder loved every second of it. Outside those doors was a completely different world. The frenzy. The fame. A level of recognition that had no off switch. In this conversation Jack opens up about identity beyond the role, what the acting craft really demands, fatherhood, the little things in life we overlook and what it truly takes to keep moving forward with purpose when the industry moves fast and forgets faster. In this conversation: — Life inside Britain's biggest soap — The reality of fame and what nobody prepares you for — Identity beyond the role that made him famous — What being an actor actually demands beyond the screen — Fatherhood and what truly matters — Strength from within and moving forward with purpose — Longevity in an industry that moves fast Guest: @jackrydersessions 👍 Like if this hit different 🎙️ Host: Glenn Marsden 🌐 glennmarsden.com 📱 @_glennmarsden ⚠️ PLEASE NOTE — Some episodes touch on mental health and personal stories of trauma.
