Healthy, Wealthy & Wise With Adam Metwally

Today I sit down with Campbell Walker — aka Struthless — illustrator, YouTuber and bestselling author of Your Head is a House Boat, and Doom and Bloom.

We explore why life can feel like doom in a world of abundance, how social media became an outrage machine, and why creativity is the antidote. Struthless also opens up about self-help, suicide, humor as a survival tool, and how to be creative even if you don’t think you are.

This is a raw, funny, and practical conversation on turning doom into bloom.

Introducing Struthless AKA Campbell Walker...

Struthless (Campbell Walker) is an Australian illustrator, YouTuber and two-time bestselling author who’s built a global following by making creativity and self-help feel funny, practical and accessible. He first broke out with irreverent cartoons and viral “life hack” videos before pivoting into deeper work around productivity, mental health and personal growth. His first book Your Head Is a Houseboat became a cult hit for its illustrated metaphors about the mind, and his new release Doom & Bloom explores how creativity can be an antidote to modern doom-scrolling and anxiety. Across his YouTube channel, podcasts and books, Struthless is known for turning chaos into compost, persistence into progress, and laughter into a survival tool.

Kevin Champeny is a New York–based mosaic sculptor whose massive works are built from tens of thousands of hand-cast resin “pixels” — gummy bears, pills, bullets, and flowers — forming giant portraits and cultural icons that have attracted collectors like Drake, Mike Tyson, and even the Saudi royal family. In this episode, we explore how he went from aerospace mechanic to selling six-figure art commissions, the viral moment that began with a gummy bear chandelier on iCarly, and the mindset that rejects the “starving artist” myth while embracing obsession, defiance, and creativity to carve out a life as one of today’s most distinctive artists.
