Glenn admits he and Millie have questioned if they're better off as friends, but now envision a life together forever.
The episode begins with Glenn Azar introducing another Mayhem Monday session, where he and Millie respond to a variety of listener questions submitted via NGLs. They start by addressing how closing their gym has freed up time for youth development and family activities, referencing the 80-20 rule in business. A question about depression leads Glenn to suggest changing physiology, such as sitting up straight or smiling, to combat sadness, citing Tony Robbins. They then tackle a query about age gaps in relationships, with Millie humorously noting that women might rely less on physical attraction than men. Glenn briefly mentions Alyssa, stating he won't discuss her private life publicly. A deeper question asks if Glenn and Millie believe their relationship will last; they express confidence but acknowledge uncertainties, sharing past moments of doubt about being just friends. They discuss pet names, with Millie being called 'Mayhem,' and Glenn explains how he compartmentalizes watching Millie box, emphasizing support for partners' interests. On business motivation during plateaus, Glenn advises focusing on the end vision and taking breaks, like disconnecting during treks. For building resilience in kids, they recommend letting children solve their own problems and providing perspective by comparing to harsher realities. Millie debunks the fitness myth of spot reduction, explaining fat loss is genetic-based. Glenn reflects on career risks, noting his forced transition from infantry to medical corps led to his adventure business, while Millie's move from West Australia to Brisbane was a voluntary risk. A question about engagement prompts Glenn to say he sees a future with Millie but is working on personal growth. They address negative feedback accusing their relationship of being scripted, defending its authenticity and urging critics to move on. Glenn ties this to youth work, discussing how trauma should not define one's life, using examples from kids in residential care. The episode concludes with Glenn encouraging more questions, even critical ones, to foster deeper conversations.
