Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers a wide range of topics related to personal transformation, including mental health, overcoming adversity, and emotional resilience, with specific episodes discussing themes like self-love, mental health misconceptions, and the journey from addiction to recovery.
The Growth Voyage Podcast explores the journey from approval-seeking to self-led living.
Each week I speak with men at different stages of that path – some still navigating the messy middle of growth, others who have already transformed their lives.
Through honest conversations about identity, discipline, relationships, faith, purpose, and personal standards, we explore what it really takes to become the man you know you’re capable of being.
New episodes every Tuesday.
In this episode of The Growth Voyage Podcast, Tommy Tanner shares the story behind becoming “The Ultimate Geezer” — from university rugby culture and social performance, to stepping into professional wrestling and learning how to channel a larger-than-life character under pressure.
Together, we explore identity, confidence, performance, sacrifice, and what it really means to become the version of yourself that can handle big moments. Tommy reflects on his university days, the drinking culture around rugby, the difference between persona and reality, and how wrestling helped him turn the “geezer” identity into something more focused, disciplined, and purposeful.
The conversation moves beyond the character and into the mindset behind elite performance. Tommy opens up about training intensity, feeding off live crowd energy, overcoming fear before high-risk moves, handling setbacks, and the importance of resilience when chasing the next level. We also discuss parental support, going all in on wrestling, and the opportunities that have come from fully embracing who he is.
Topics include professional wrestling, identity, confidence, performance under pressure, drinking culture, sacrifice, resilience, parental support, discipline, character work, and chasing your full potential. Whether you’re an athlete, performer, creator, or someone trying to step into a stronger version of yourself, there’s plenty here to take away.
