This episode is a special milestone for the 1% Podcast. For episode 200, I sit down with Andrew Cipriano, who has been part of the 1% Good Club community for over two years.

We reflect on Andrew’s journey, the impact of committing to small daily habits, and the role community and accountability have played in his personal growth. Andrew shares the changes he has noticed in his mindset, consistency, and overall wellbeing, along with why he believes personal growth is something worth prioritising.

You will also hear short reflections and testimonials from other members of the 1% Good Club, sharing what the community has meant to them and how simple daily actions have created lasting change.

This episode is a reminder that small steps, done consistently and together, can have a powerful impact over time.

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.

We talk about what it was really like to have his career paused overnight, the emotional toll of being labelled, judged, and misunderstood, and the mental battle of staying motivated when the sport you love is suddenly taken away.

Thomas shares the behind the scenes reality of the ban, the shame and frustration he carried, and how he worked through anger, fear, and uncertainty about his future.

Most importantly, we dive into the comeback. How this experience reshaped his mindset, strengthened his resilience, and gave him a new perspective on purpose, pressure, and identity beyond sport.

This episode is about mistakes, accountability, and what it really takes to rebuild when your life takes an unexpected turn.

If you have ever faced a setback that felt unfair, overwhelming, or completely out of your control, this conversation will hit home.

• Thomas’s tennis journey and rise in the professional ranks
• The IV drip incident and how a misunderstanding led to a 10 month ban
• The emotional impact of having his career put on hold
• Dealing with public judgement and internal doubt
• How he stayed mentally strong during the toughest period of his life
• What this experience taught him about identity, resilience, and perspective
• His mindset heading into his comeback and what drives him now

This is a raw, real, and inspiring conversation about turning one of the hardest moments of your life into fuel for your next chapter.

In this powerful and honest episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Lockie Welch to talk about his journey from addiction and rock bottom moments to becoming a passionate mental health advocate and positive voice for thousands of people online.

Lockie opens up about what life looked like during his addiction, the turning points that helped him begin his recovery, and how doing the inner work completely changed the direction of his life. We dive into how he built a large and engaged social media community focused on mental health, vulnerability and real conversations that actually help people feel less alone.

One of the most fascinating parts of this chat is Lockie’s experience spending a month in Thailand completing a monk ordination. He shares what it was really like living as a monk, the daily routines, the mental challenges, and the powerful lessons he brought back into everyday life around presence, discipline and perspective.

This episode is full of hope, real talk and practical inspiration for anyone who has struggled, is struggling, or wants to better understand the journey of healing and growth.

• Lockie’s personal journey through addiction and recovery
• The mindset shifts that helped him rebuild his life
• How social media became a platform for purpose and impact
• The reality of becoming a monk in Thailand and what he learned
• Daily practices that support mental health and resilience
• Why vulnerability and honesty are powerful tools for healing

If you or someone you love has faced addiction or mental health challenges, this episode is a reminder that change is possible and that support, purpose and self work can completely transform your life.

Listen now and share this one with someone who might need to hear it.

Welcome to the first episode of the Good Humans Podcast for 2026.

I wanted to start this year with something powerful, practical, and a little different. That is why I invited Ole Hill, who is widely regarded as Australia’s leading hypnotist, onto the show.

In this episode, Ole and I dive into how hypnosis actually works, why so many of us struggle to follow through on our New Year’s resolutions, and how our subconscious mind plays a much bigger role in our behaviour than most people realise.

What makes this episode really special is that Ole guides us through a live hypnosis session during the conversation. This was designed to help you connect with your goals for 2026, let go of mental blocks, and set clear intentions for the year ahead. It is something you can come back to anytime you need a reset.

For me, this episode is about more than motivation. It is about creating real change by working with your mind rather than against it. If you are stepping into 2026 wanting more clarity, confidence, or alignment with your goals, this episode is a great place to start.

• What hypnosis really is and what it is not
• Why New Year’s resolutions often fail
• How the subconscious mind influences habits and decision making
• The role of focus, suggestion, and awareness in personal growth
• A live guided hypnosis session to support your 2026 goals
• Starting the year with intention rather than pressure

If you can, listen to this episode somewhere quiet, especially for the hypnosis section. Sitting or lying down comfortably and giving yourself permission to slow down will help you get the most out of it. - Please don't do the hypnosis while driving.

Thanks for being here and for kicking off 2026 with me. I hope this episode helps you feel clear, grounded, and excited for the year ahead.

Matty Acton is one of Australia’s most recognisable radio voices, a social media star with nearly one million followers, and one of the youngest grandpas you will ever meet.

In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Matty to unpack his journey from growing up in regional Australia to becoming the co-host of Brisbane’s highest-rating breakfast radio show, Stav, Abby & Matt on HIT 105. We talk about the reality of working in mainstream media, building a personal brand online, and how humour and authenticity have played a huge role in his success.

Matty also opens up about family, fatherhood, and what it has been like stepping into the role of being a grandparent in his 30s. It is a conversation full of laughs, perspective, and some surprisingly grounding lessons about staying present and not taking life too seriously.

This episode is a great reminder that success does not have to come at the cost of connection, and that sometimes the most important roles we play happen off air.

• Growing up and finding confidence early in life
• Matty’s journey into radio and building a long-term career in media
• Life behind the scenes of breakfast radio on HIT 105 Brisbane
• Creating content online and staying authentic on social media
• Becoming a dad and a grandparent in his 30s
• Balancing work, family, and mental wellbeing
• What Matty would spend 14 minutes a day on for his mental health
• The importance of gratitude, humour, and perspective

If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to share it with someone who loves a laugh but also appreciates real conversations about life and family.

This week I sit down with Laura Miano, a clinical sexologist, therapist, and founder of Miano Clinical Sexology. Laura is passionate about breaking down the stigma around sex and helping people feel more confident, connected, and empowered in their relationships and within themselves.

In this conversation we explore how sexual wellness is deeply connected to mental health, the importance of communication and self-awareness in relationships, and how understanding your own needs and desires can lead to a more fulfilling life. Laura shares practical advice that anyone can apply, from improving body confidence and setting boundaries to navigating shame and creating safe, open conversations about intimacy.

This is a powerful chat that reminds us mental health is not just about the mind, it is about the whole human experience.

• Laura’s journey into becoming a clinical sexologist
• The link between sexual wellbeing and mental health
• How to have more open and healthy conversations about sex
• Understanding and overcoming sexual shame
• Tips for improving communication and connection in relationships
