In this episode of the Pip Magazine podcast, Robyn sits down with Samuel McLennan after a surf to explore life, lessons and the transformative power of surrender.

Samuel lives aboard Heart, a remarkable 27-foot vessel he built entirely from 2.5 tonnes of aquaculture waste salvaged from Tasmanian fish farms - oyster baskets, buoys, silage wrap, nets, and ropes pulled from beaches and kelp. Since leaving Hobart in early 2024, he’s been slowly making his way up the coast, crossing Bass Strait and using the journey to spark conversations about marine debris, mental health, and the deep connection between the two.

He reveals how learning to nurture ourselves naturally leads us to nurture the world around us, and why seeing value in what society discards (both in materials and in ourselves) can create profound change.

From floating homes for those sleeping rough to the simple joy of people picking up rubbish after hearing his story, this is a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and finding home in unexpected places.

Tune in for an inspiring reminder that small, personal shifts ripple outward.
