A Lot To Talk About

Brett Connellan was mauled by a bull shark at Kiama's "Bombo beach" in May 2016. 

Narrowly escaping the attack with his life, Brett was told he may never walk again. That is where this story begins...

Pyrophytes are plants which have adapted to tolerate fire. In fact, some of these species react favourably to it, growing stronger & more resistant. It's fair to say, Brett shares a strand of DNA with a pyrophyte, in that the shark attack & all of the challenges that came along with recovery only fuelled his growth. 

Pyrophytic is a film about living life on a second chance. A story of opportunity masked by challenge & revealed where great tragedy was avoided. Brett Connellan & good friend/filmmaker Sam Tolhurst have worked tirelessly to capture that journey over the past 2 years. The last piece of the puzzle is the "Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships". A 52km race from one Hawaiian island to another that will serve as the final message of this documentary feature film. 

I have been blessed to connect with these great fellas & even had the pleasure of running alongside Brett in our #42forCF marathon last year, in which he supported my charity. This story is beyond inspiring & has the power to leave lasting impact on the world & the way we all see life.

The nation fell in love with Taku Chimwaza on hit reality series 'Love Island Australia'.

I've been blessed to have a long term friendship with the charismatic character that lit up tv screens & let me tell you - what you see is what you get!

It was a great honour to have Taku on the poddy. He shared his stories of humble beginnings in Zimbabwe, his journey to Australia & the lessons he learnt from his time on the island.

Now more clearly than ever, T understands his mission in life. Finding true purpose in inspiring others through his story & allowing them to see the beauty in their unique nature.

He says, "energy is my currency" & like always, there was plenty to be found in our conversation. I am so grateful to call this man a friend & I feel privileged that T has chosen my poddy to share his most vulnerable interview yet.

James Storer is the definition of resilient. 

A proud Fijian & Aboriginal man who grew up in an environment that tested every ounce of your strength & will to survive. 

Jimmy's childhood was an environment surrounded by alcohol & violence. It shaped him as the provider & protector for his family at a young age & it is why he describes himself as a young man at the ripe age of 8 years old. 

When faced with such adversity, most conform to it by adolescence. Choosing to lead a life similar to the one they have been exposed to, but James chose a different path. One that required him to have gratitude for the challenges & hardship he had faced. Gratitude that fuelled his success as a professional rugby league player & drove him to represent Fiji at 3 rugby league world cups. 

There are some people you meet in this life that leave you inspired with each encounter, Jimmy is one of those fellas. A story of true resilience in the face of great adversity.

Tom Ford is an Aussie TikTok star who has acquired over 1 million followers in his 2 years on the app.

The 20 year old sketch comedian found humour in the workings of the classroom & schoolyard that has turned him into a creative sensation on the platform. 

What began as a form of his procrastination has become a form of entertainment for so many of TikTok's users & it has inspired Tom to stretch his talents outside of the app & consider his options in the world of entertainment.

Tom & I shared story over the course of the morning with some of Sydney's most iconic settings as our backdrop. A genuinely good fella who shared an insight into his content, life, hopes & dreams over the course of our conversation.

I hope you enjoy tuning into our chat as much as we enjoyed recording it.
