In this episode I’m joined by Newcastle surfer Josh Levey, who set himself a challenge that sounds almost impossible… surf 7,000 waves in one month.
But this wasn’t about records or attention.
It was about purpose.

We talk about his upbringing and relationship with the ocea...
#235 Nigel Beach — Simple Home Changes That Help You Feel Calm Again.
In this episode I’m joined by Nigel Beach and we explore how much our environment shapes our mental state.
We often try to think our way into feeling better, but our nervous system responds first to what we sense. Light, temperature, hydration, and contact with nature all send signals to the body about whether we are safe or under threat. When we change those inputs, our state naturally follows.
This conversation is full of simple, practical ideas you can apply straight away at home. Nothing extreme, just small adjustments that help your bo...

As always, this episode is inspired by messages from our community...
#234 Dr. Steven Lu — From ICU to Prevention: What a Heart Surgeon Wishes Everyone Knew About Their Health
In this episode, I sit down with Dr Steven Lu, a former cardiac surgeon turned preventative health pioneer and the founder of Everlab.
Steven shares his journey through medicine, from operating in high-pressure ICU and surgical environments to asking a deeper question: why are we waiting until people are critically unwell before intervening? After years of treating heart disease at its most advanced stages, he realised the system was built around reacting to illness rather than preventing it.
We unpack the philosophy behind Everlab and why prevention, early detection, and personalised health data...

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Australian professional tennis player Thomas Fancutt for his very first interview since serving a 10 month anti doping ban that turned his world upside down.
Thomas opens up about the moment everything changed. A simple IV drip that he believed was allowed became a career altering mistake, leading to a ban that shocked him, his team, and the tennis world.

In this episode, I share how tackling the small chores and tasks we tend to avoid can have a powerful impact on your mental load, energy, and overall wellbeing.
