This episode of The Horse’s Mouth, I had the pleasure of talking to Mance Warner https://mancewarner.bigcartel.com/

This episode of The Horse’s Mouth, I had the good fortune of sitting down with none other than Andy Higgins. @andyhiggins.surf

Let’s just say you can take the boy out of Aus, but you can’t take the Aus outta the boy — even after waking up to fresh baguettes and frog’s legs for the past 16 years. Higgo’s still got the battler well and truly intact.

In this chat, we traverse Andy’s life, talking all things life, death, travel, surfing, and his long stint working within the surf industry, before transitioning into his current role as a producer of a new series he conceptualised, Surfing With the Stars — an epic idea, I can’t wait to see come to life.

Hope you enjoy the chat.

2026 — the Year of the Horse.

In this episode, I had the good fortune of sitting down with Stephanie De Lander (@stephdelander). Steph is a professional wrestler on the world circuit — an absolute weapon and an even better human.

We cover a lot of ground, but Steph’s story is a standout: originally from the Northern Beaches of Sydney she's chased her dreams to the US, and finally getting signed by WWE and TNA, and fully embracing the wild ride that comes with it.

I love talking to people who follow the white rabbit of intuition —  throw caution to the wind and let the chips lay where they may (to rip a quote from True Romance). Steph embodies that energy.

She’s an absolute legend, and I was stoked she agreed to come on for a chat — a two-for-one deal made even better by the fact she’s recently married to Mance Warner, “The Southern Psycho”, https://stephdelander.bigcartel.com/

Hope you enjoy the chat  

This episode of The Horse’s Mouth I had the good fortune of speaking with none other than Fiona Luca. www.movewithfiona.com.au/

She was also a dance instructor and ran a very successful dance studio here in Geelong — which you’ll hear all about in our chat.

In this episode we loosely weave through Fiona’s life and discuss everything in between.

Hope you enjoy our chat!

Welcome to another edition of The Horses Mouth. In this episode I had the good fortune of speaking with none other than Luke Williams. Luke is one of those people with infectious energy — a great human, a great storyteller, and a serious gonad man. His ability to hold priority and wait for the right wave is enough to melt even the sternest of steel traps.

Luke hails from the coastal Victorian town of Lorne, where he dominates both the point and the main drag. When he’s not doing that, he’s dominating the spot — and when he’s not dominating the spot, he’s at work, smashing houses together to help keep Victoria moving. He’s got a biblical trade — a carpenter — and he’s damn good at it too.

And if he’s not in the surf or on the tools, he’s either hanging out with his girlfriend or trekking to some far-flung corner of the globe, sniffing out wedges and spreading the Luke Williams fairy-dust good vibes wherever he goes.

Hope you enjoy our chat.

Welcome to another addition of the Horses Mouth, This episode I had the pleasure of talking to Carly Shanahan, she is a awesome human chasing after her dreams of being a professional surfer and seriously getting the job done, this is not with out her challenges, but she has this town 100 percent behind her and none became more evident than when she made it onto the world stage of the Ripcurl Pro WCT event at Bells last year, was an amazing first look into the stratosphere that is the WTC - if your a competitor thats the box and dice ---- yeah Carls Epic, this chat we dive into the ducks that lined up to make that all possible and much much more -- Hope you enjoy our chat 

Eli Helm is a force. A Qigong teacher, kinesiologist, spinal flow practitioner — and someone I’m stoked to call a friend. She’s a mum, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, student, and graduate — you picking up what I’m putting down? Eli is a lot of things to a lot of people.

As you’ll hear, she’s someone who never stops questioning and striving — for better health, deeper understanding of the human body, and a richer life experience 

In this chat, we cover a wide range of topics. I’ve dropped a few links below for those keen to dig a little deeper.

Thanks again, Eli. Super stoked to have you over for the chat. :)

In this episode I had the good fortune of speaking with none other than Michael Ferris of Ferris Property - He's an amazing human having a second crack at reorganizing and living life more on his terms, you might say !!! The indoctrination of the human soul is real, the hamster wheel, the machine, the big G being Government wants you asleep at the wheel, pay your money to us and shut up.....Sorry, that was me getting on my high Horse,,,, but Michael has peeked behind the curtain and decided no more sleepy time, life is precious and he's not interested in feverishly chasing fun tokens for no good reason.

In this episode, I had the good fortune of speaking with Tina Tainui. Around here, she’s best known as a yoga teacher and founder of OurSpace Yoga in Torquay… but no no no—Tina is so much more than that. She’s a serious force of nature with a hell of a story to tell.

Originally from New Zealand and raised in the school of hard knocks (seriously!), Tina's life took a sharp turn thanks to a chance encounter with a stranger—maybe even a guardian angel, depending on how you look at it. That moment gave her the courage to get out of her situation and go live, really live, and experience the world.

And that’s exactly what she did. She’s been everywhere, man—Rubbing shoulders, cutting hair, and partying with some of the great artists and cultural trailblazers of our time.

Without giving too much away… I hope you enjoy our chat.

Thanks, Tina.

Today on the Horses Mouth, I was joined by Dr Harley Mackenzie — a long-time Torquay local, leader in the energy sector, and a passionate advocate for reform. Dr Mackenzie has just announced he’s running for the federal seat of Corangamite, representing the Legalise Cannabis Party. His campaign isn’t just about changing laws — it’s about health, personal freedom, and bringing some much-needed common sense to the national conversation on cannabis. As he puts it: “The war on drugs has failed. It’s time for a smarter approach.”
