Back on Aussie soil after a quick stop in Arizona for @busybizzaro wedding — who I thought was my best mate, but turns out he’s got about a hundred of them 😂.
It was honestly one of the best weekends of my life.
Huge congrats to Sev and his beautiful wife @lisakelecy — you’re surrounded by such incredible people who clearly love and adore you. Thanks for letting me be part of it ❤️ taken in Royal Palms Resort and Spa by @scannas34

8 years ago I was approached to join the board for the Starlight Foundation. In a twist of fate only 6 months after this I was using their services when Ashton was rushed to hospital and ever since then they have been a constant feature in our lives.

Tonight they are making my beautiful angels dream come true. She is off to meet her idol @billieeilish

Such a monumental moment for us. Have fun darling. I love you @charlsjscan and thank you @starlightchildrensfoundation by @scannas34

Well… this escalated quickly. 😂🥊

Fresh off Disneyland, wildly underprepared and about four boxing sessions in the last two years.

Im finally making my professional debut next Saturday at the ripe old age of 43. They say don’t blink… in my case, I genuinely wouldn’t. I’m not sure I’ve got more than a round in me. 😂

Thanks @donegaldenboxing & @johnboyboxing for the opportunity.

And to my long-term sponsor Uber Eats — we’re about to find out what 12 months of preparation really looks like. 😂

Let’s have some fun. 🥊🇦🇺 taken in Soi Ta-Ied, Phuket by @scannas34

Watching them laugh, seeing their faces light up and just being able to be Dad and enjoy every second with them — these are the memories I’ll keep forever.

Very grateful for how far life has come, incredibly grateful for Jess and Oliver, and most of all, grateful for these two little girls and every moment I get with them. ❤️

What a week. 🏰✨ taken in Disneyland by @scannas34

I was so scared of divorce.

I wasn’t scared of losing my wife.

I was scared of losing my life.

My kids. My routine. My home. The future I’d worked so hard to build for my family.

The last couple of years have been some of the hardest of my life. There have been battles, setbacks, and obstacles that never should have existed.

But every challenge forced me to grow.

Looking back now, the pain was worth it. Not because it was easy, but because it made me stronger, healthier, and a better version of myself.

This isn’t about divorce. It’s about having the courage to make the change you know you need to make whether that’s your career, a relationship, or your own mindset.

Growth is uncomfortable. But staying where you no longer belong is even harder. by @scannas34

Some roads are lonely. Some battles take longer than they should. Keep your integrity. Keep moving forward. In the end, truth has a way of catching up with everything. ✨

One life. Might as well enjoy the walk. by @scannas34

Honestly - For a decade straight, I’d sit there on New Year’s Eve thinking, there’s no way next year can top this with a huge smile on my face. And then it did.
Again.
And again.
And again.

Somewhere along the way though, that pattern broke.

About 11 years ago, things started to slide, slowly at first. I saw it happening, I knew it was happening, but I didn’t change course. I endured instead of acting. I assumed time, honesty and love alone would fix what required courage. Each New Year, I told myself the next one would be better.

It wasn’t.

By 2024, it hit rock bottom as we know. Most of us do at some point and it’s hard. It hurts. It’s not easy. But it’s OK!

2025 was different. Not easy, but different. It reminded me of something I’d misplaced along the way: myself. The fire. The standards. The refusal to stay stuck. My competitive edge.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

Time doesn’t improve your life. Action does.
Momentum doesn’t come from hope — it comes from decisions you finally stop postponing.

2026 isn’t a wish.
It’s a result of values and character

The foundations are set in family, in business, in life.
And this time, I’m not waiting for things to get better. This time, I’m not hoping for a better year. I am building one deliberately, relentlessly, and without apology.

And to my close friends and family who have supported me so much, the ones who stood beside me and put up with me….thank you. Your faith didn’t go unnoticed.

Happy New Years legends 🎉

This isn’t about me. This is about all of US!
If I can do it, anyone can.

I’ve hit rock bottom more than once as most of you know. A year ago, I found out some news that I never saw coming. It changed my life forever. A life I thought was my happily ever after: Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be.

I was 41 and I spiralled. I was 120 kilos. Mentally drained, emotionally shattered. I blamed myself I listened and believed the lies. I shut down, I had lost my way, my purpose.

But something had to change. So I started with one step, then another and now today, I’ve lost 26 kilos in 12 months. Still far from perfect as you can see and still far from where I want to be but every day, I try to be a little better. I try not to be overwhelmed.

This isn’t about weight loss. It’s not about the photo.
It’s about showing you that change is possible — no matter how dark it gets. You don’t need to fix everything overnight. Just get one win each day.

I second guessed posting this. I didn’t want it to look like I’m showing off, because I’m not and I don’t have anything to show off about. I just know people are struggling and just because someone has money, a house, a car doesn’t mean they’re okay. I’m proud to be beating the demons.

Honestly, I’m jealous of people who have peace.
Who live without chaos, without constant battles.

So if that’s you — be content with your peace. Cherish it. But if it’s not you and you’re in the thick of it just focus on one win today. That could be a walk, a workout, a healthy meal even just a conversation.
Just one thing that moves your life in the right direction.

Winners win.
And we’re all winners — we just need the mentality to believe it.

If you need someone to talk to, reach out. No judgement. Just real talk from someone who’s been there and living it daily. by @scannas34
