Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

Makua Rothman’s story is as powerful as the waves he’s conquered.

In this raw and inspiring episode, I sit down with the 2015 Big Wave World Champion to talk about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. From a turbulent upbringing in Hawaii – including his father’s time in prison – to finding purpose in the ocean, Makua opens up about how surfing gave him direction, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

We dive deep into his battle with addiction and the inner work that helped him break free. Now a devoted father, Makua shares how becoming a parent shifted his perspective, helping him become more self-aware, grounded, and grateful.

From world titles to world tours, his passion has flowed from surfing into music – including a collaboration with Wiz Khalifa – as he uses his voice to uplift others and share his story.

We talk about:

• Growing up in Hawaii and his father’s time in prison
• Finding a lifeline in surfing and becoming Big Wave World Champ
• Overcoming addiction and the journey to healing
• Fatherhood, self-awareness, and emotional growth
• Transitioning into a music career and sharing powerful stories through song
• Staying connected to culture, community, and purpose

Makua’s story is about resilience, rebirth, and riding life’s waves with heart. An unforgettable conversation.

This episode is one of the most powerful and personal we’ve ever shared.

Niamh Connell – a member of the 1% Good Club – sent me an email that left me speechless. At just 23, she was facing five autoimmune conditions, debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, and a battle with severe depression that left her physically and emotionally broken. Doctors told her it would only get worse.

But after hearing my episode on Darling, Shine!, Niamh decided to try something different. Breathwork, gratitude, anti-inflammatory foods, cold therapy – she took action, one step at a time.

Fast forward two years: her arthritis is in remission, she’s off all medication, and she’s living a life she once thought was impossible.

This conversation is a raw, emotional, and inspiring look into what can happen when you commit to healing – even just 1% a day. It's about hope, personal power, and the ripple effect of sharing stories.

We talk about:

• Her journey through chronic illness and mental health struggles
• Discovering the 1% Good Club and breathwork
• How small daily actions sparked massive transformation
• Getting her life back – from walking again to studying and travelling
• Why community, mindset, and self-care changed everything

This one will move you. It's proof that no matter how dark it feels, there is always a way forward.

Nicka Atkins has built an incredible online community through his daily surf reports, known for their honesty, humor, and heart. What started as a fun way to connect with local surfers soon became a trusted source of information for thousands on the Gold Coast.

In this episode, Nicka takes us behind the scenes of his journey— from chasing news stories around the world in the film and media industry, to becoming one of the most relied-on voices during the recent Cyclone Alfred storm. When official channels were quiet, Nicka was on the ground sharing real-time updates that helped locals stay informed and safe.

We chat about:

• How his surf report videos grew into a powerful online platform
• His career working behind the camera in the global news and film space
• The responsibility that comes with having an engaged online community
• The chaotic days during the Alfred storm and how social media filled an urgent communication gap

This is a great listen for anyone interested in the power of community, communication, and using your voice for good.
