Olivia Vivian was never meant to win.

She wasn’t the strongest.

She wasn’t the tallest.

And after being cut from Cirque du Soleil and dismissed by critics, she could’ve quit.

But she didn’t.

Instead, she became the most decorated woman in Australian Ninja Warrior history and one of the most respected athletes in the country.

🔥 In this raw, no-filter conversation, Olivia opens up about:

• The brutal cost of elite gymnastics — and what no one talks about
• Losing everything after the Olympics
• Getting rejected by Cirque and finding her voice on reality TV
• The injury that nearly ended it all
• And how she fought to rise again with the world watching

Whether you’re chasing your own comeback, stuck at rock bottom, or just need to hear how someone actually did it this one is for you.

Michael Zerafa was #1 in the World... then one punch changed everything.

He backed himself. Took the shot.

And got knocked out on the world stage.

The backlash was brutal. The country turned. Tall poppy syndrome kicked in fast. But instead of disappearing, Zerafa rebuilt, quietly, ruthlessly, and fought his way back. Now he’s ranked #1 in Australia again… and hungrier than ever.

👇 Inside this episode:

• The world title fight that didn’t go to plan
• What no one saw behind the KO
• How it feels when your own country turns on you
• What it takes to get back to the top
• Why he still backs himself, harder than ever

This isn’t just about boxing.

It’s about risk, pressure, public failure, and the guts it takes to show up again.

Back from the canvas. Back on top.

James Bartle was on a surf trip in Southeast Asia when everything changed.

He saw a child being trafficked right in front of him, and it hit so hard that he knew he’d never go back to life as normal. What came next is one of the most powerful stories we’ve ever had on the podcast.

He came home, backed himself, and built Outland Denim, a global fashion brand created to fight trafficking and give survivors a way forward.

This episode isn’t about building a brand.

It’s about stepping into something bigger than yourself and using everything you’ve got to fight back.

• From surfboards to safe houses
