A Lot To Talk About

Kath Koschel is the founder of Kindness Factory, a global not-for-profit organisation and movement which inspires ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

A former professional cricketer and Iron Man competitor, Kath has defied all medical prognoses by teaching herself to walk on three separate occasions. Despite facing other serious personal, mental and physical setbacks, her resilience allowed her not only to overcome these challenges but also to see the good in the world when most others couldn’t.

In this incredible conversation, Kath & I delve into her story & the moments that have defined her life & the human she has become.

Charlie Teo is an inspirational neurosurgeon who has saved & extended thousands of lives operating on the brain tumours that were deemed by so many of his peers as ‘inoperable’.
The medical board & many Australian media sources have taken it upon themselves to persecute Charlie for his work & as a result he is no longer able to operate in Australia.

Having raised over $50M for brain cancer research through his own foundation, whilst still flying around the world in hopes to help the patients who's lives depend on it, Charlie is fighting for what he believes in: a simple ethos that has defined his work from the moment it began... to treat his patients like they are his own family.

An honest conversation that cuts through the bullshit to deliver the truth of Charlie Teo's story, whilst exploring some of the lessons he has learnt along the way & the stories that have given him an inspiring perspective we can all learn from.

Joshua Heares is the man behind the brand ‘Porter James Sport’.

Formerly working within the branding & advertising industry, Josh had reached a milestone in his corporate career by the young age of 26, appointed as a manager of the company, working with well known brands from across the world. Despite the early 'success' he was having, he couldn't help but feel as though there was a missing piece of the puzzle as he looked down the barrel of his future within the corporate world.

A conversation with a respected mentor prompted Josh to ask the question 'how do I find my dream job?' to which his mentors answer would change the trajectory of Josh's life & career. The answer was simply a question asked of Josh, 'what does your ideal day look like?'. That question spurred on the creation of a brand that gave Josh the freedom of schedule to do what he loves & set his life up around it. An internal decision to build something that not only lights a fire in his belly, but fuels a life by design.

In this episode we discuss:

- Identifying what is truly important to us in the process of designing your ideal day.

- Strategising your exit & entrance into the next chapter of your life.

- The purpose behind 'Porter James Sport'.

- The power of love & surrounding yourself with quality people.

- Learning to say no to things that don't serve us & respecting your own time.

- The brand identity of 'Porter James Sport'.

- Josh's message to the world.

In 2018, like many young Aussie men, Alex Noble's primary focus in life was to attain a career as a professional rugby league player, get girls & look good. Then on one day, in the matter of one moment, his life would change forever.

At a NSW schoolboys training session, Alex experienced a traumatic life-changing injury, breaking his neck & leaving him as doctor's would diagnose, 'a permanent quadriplegic'.

Losing all movement from the neck down, Alex found himself in a hospital bed able to move only his eye balls. 5 days after life saving surgery with his family seated at the foot of his hospital bed, Alex couldn't help but hear his family's defeated tone of voice as they spoke about their new harsh reality. In a bid to lift their spirit, Alex spoke his first words 5 days after the accident. 5 words that would change the trajectory of his life forever, define the foundation of his mindset & inspire millions of Australian's in the process of his recovery. The words: 'If I fight, you fight' left Alex's mouth & with those words, a fire was lit & it still burns bright today.

This is only the start of Alex Noble's story. Tune into this beautiful conversation, as Alex's inspirational words move me & prove that nothing is impossible with the following topics of our conversation:

- The moments & emotions surrounding Alex's life changing accident.

- The power of mindset.

- Developing the resilience to survive & thrive in the face of extreme adversity.

- Crafting new purpose & pivoting in life.

- Achieving a state of peace through an attitude of gratitude for our greatest hardship.

- Maximise success & growth in life.

- The beauty of being alive & why Alex's breathes a sigh of relief when he wakes in the morning.

Taku Chimwaza is one of my great mates. After his 2021 appearance on the hit reality show Love Island Australia, T & I started a YouTube series called Top Deck in which we used improv comedy to give what some would brand ‘useless’ dating advice.

After calling time on Top Deck, T created his current podcast ‘Back To Reality’ with fellow reality star Al Perkins on the Nova network.

This episode is a q & a style conversation in which I asked T some heavy questions about life & adversity. I am certain that you will find valuable insight & lessons within his answers.

*This is part 2 of our core values episode. If you haven't yet heard part 1 in which Tye & Joey share their top 5 core values, I suggest tuning into that first. In this part 2, you will hear Brad's take as the boys continue to discuss the role that values & actions play in being a 'good man'.

In the name of vulnerability, Brad (The Captain) has come together with 2 of his best mates Tye (Phoony) & Joey The Zoolander) for a series of episodes to tackle some of life’s big questions, topics & the tough stuff that we so often choose to battle in solitude.

The aim is to inspire you to connect with your mates in vulnerability & hold space for each other on the foundation of unconditional love & support, whilst encouraging positive mental health.

The boys feel so blessed to have the incredible friendship they do & it’s no coincidence that our depth of conversation has created such strength in our bond.

This week they delve into the topic of CORE VALUES. To set the tone of the episode Brad shared a written piece on 'what it means to be a good man', eluding to the point that 'good men show up in the world according to their values, even or maybe more importantly, when the world isn't working in their favour'. As always, the lads were set a piece of homework to bring to the episode, & this week, their task was to define their top 5 core values & an action that aligned with all of those values to ensure they are showing up in the world that way.

It was an honest & vulnerable conversation in which the 3 mates got real with the values that have challenged them & the importance of those in which they identified as their top 5. Enjoy another vulnerable episode full of valuable & actionable insight with the 3 mates.
