On the first episode of Season 2, we chat via zoom to 3 x World Surfing Champion, Mick Fanning. To those in the surfing world, Fanning needs no introduction, but for those unfamiliar the surfing superstar is a world-beating athlete, a shrewd businessman and a shark attack survivor.

Mick dialled into the podcast from his new home base in sunny California to update us on what has been a huge year for the new dad. Welcoming new son Xander in August last year, receiving an induction into the Surfing Australia Hall of Fame, relocating to the US and making a cheeky one-off comeback have all been on the agenda this past year. Yet despite the ongoing (and well deserved) success, Mick remains a beacon of humility - a rare commodity among athletes of his calibre.

Sit back, relax and open a can of Balter as we catch up with Australian surfing royalty, Mick Fanning.

On this episode, we’re joined by Aussie actor and producer Alex Russell. Russell is the star of TV juggernaut S.W.A.T, now entering its fifth season in the US. Russell is also the star and producer of new film Under My Skin, streaming in Australia on Stan. Under My Skin is a groundbreaking film for Aussie cinema, charting modern love, identity and gender. Russell has a leading man rig to match his impressive resume, so we pick his brain on training along the way.

Extremely humble, hard working and forward thinking, Russell provides one of our most thought provoking chats to date. It was an absolute pleasure to catch up with him over zoom from his base in LA. Enjoy this episode and when you’re finished, make sure you stream Under My Skin on Stan.

A medical doctor working in psychiatry, Dr Kieran Kennedy sees firsthand the absolute importance in advocating for mental health, and as such is fast becoming a leading voice in the field.

Through completion of 15 years’ worth of studies in Psychology, Human Physiology and Medicine/Surgery, Dr Kennedy has built a dual appreciation for the health of body and mind combined.

As Australia's most refreshingly honest comic, Joel Creasey has performed in front of stadium-sized crowds as an opening act for the late Joan Rivers, hosted a string of successful TV shows and is currently at the helm of a successful live radio show Kate Tim and Joel. The man can handle a challenge. But after turning 30 and enduring a brutal five-month Melbourne lockdown, Creasey realised that perhaps his biggest joke was his health. His latest challenge was appearing on the cover of Men’s Health magazine – trading wit for fit.

The issue was one of Men’s Health’s most popular to date, and Joel made history as the first openly gay man to appear on the cover of Men’s Health Australia. We had a great time chatting during lockdown with Joel sharing some of the high’s and low’s of his huge transformation. With a few laughs along the way.

For more of Joel, you can catch him across the Nova Network weekday afternoons with Kate & Tim, or check out his live show Messy Bitch once the world opens up again.

On this episode of the podcast, we’re joined by undisputed icons of the Australian music Industry, Human Nature. The boys have just celebrated 30 years as a band and they’re back on Aussie soil following their hugely successful residency in Las Vegas, unleashing new music from their Good Good Life EP.

They’re currently riding high on the charts with new single ‘Broken Humans’ with Guy Sebastian, a mental-health themed anthem perfectly timed for 2021.

We were lucky enough sit down with The ‘Natch to talk all things music, health and longevity. Due to COVID restrictions in studio, we were sure to keep numbers to a minimum and so this episode has two halves as we chat to the boys in shifts. However we think you’ll agree it just let us get to know the lads that little bit more.

Sit back and enjoy this trip down memory lane as Andrew, Mike, Toby and Phil share their secrets to career longevity, maintaining a positive work-life balance and the power of working together.

Health is synonymous with the super. We’ve got superfoods, superheroes and supersets. It makes perfect sense, then, that the next giant leap forward in health-related innovation is coming from Australia’s own supermodel duo, Jordan and Zac Stenmark.

Jordan and Zac Stenmark rose to fame as international supermodels, on speed dial for some of the biggest fashion houses on the planet. But years of travel, training and hard work have led them down a path of wellness discovery.

After launching two health businesses in the past 12 months, Stenmark Fit and Dreamers, they’re a prime example of just how far an insatiable thirst for knowledge can take you. 

With their wings clipped for the time being, the Stenmarks are dedicating their time to improving the lives of their fans by sharing this wealth of knowledge and access to global health experts. You too, can supercharge your health the supermodel way, starting with quite possibly the easiest hack to master: a good night’s sleep.

Ant Middleton is the next evolution of health philosopher, an elusive hybrid modern adventurer born from a history of military service and refusal to accept defeat. He has the infectious energy of Ross Edgely, spirited thirst for adventure of Bear Grylls and the endearing straight-talking attitude of Gordon Ramsay. However it’s his authenticity and willingness to “fuck up” that separates his from the rest of the adventure pack. He’s a man who owns up to his mistakes, learns from them, and moves forward, impeccably so. 

Since leaving the Royal Marines in 2021, this attitude that has seen Middleton rise to the top of the self-help realm, and unlike his past life, this time his mission is simple; empower his followers to live a negativity-free life.

Like all of us, adventurer Ant Middleton has used the past year to learn, reflect and grow from his mistakes. He’s now flipped those mistakes on their head, and is using them to create a movement of positivity that, quite frankly, we could all benefit from.

Heed advice from this positivity guru and your results just may be, much like Middleton’s next adventure, out of this world.
