Shared Minds Podcast

We sit down with Greg McLean, better known as Greg vs Golf. Once a child golfing prodigy, Greg walked away from the sport at just 18 years old. Fast forward to now and in the space of just 10 days, Greg has set himself an audacious challenge: to become a PGA Pro within the next year.

What started as a personal goal has exploded online, with the internet rallying behind him as his journey goes viral. In less than two weeks, Greg has become one of the most talked-about names in the golfing world.

This is an incredible story about second chances, bold decisions, and how life can change in the blink of an eye.

If you want it shorter, more hype-driven, or more reflective/emotional, say the word and I’ll dial it exactly to the vibe of the show.

We are back after Xmas break, so we opened the phones and asked one simple question: what was your first week back at work like after Christmas?

What we got back hilarious and painfully relatable.From workplace resentment and Sunday scaries on steroids, to genuine sadness and “is this really my life?” moments the call-ins did not disappoint.

If you’ve ever stared at your alarm after the holidays and questioned every life choice you’ve ever made… this one’s for you.

Kirby has organised a very special Christmas surprise for everyone, something he’s been trying to share for a long time and has finally decided… you’re all being forced to listen.

This episode also marks the completion of our first full year taking The Shared Minds Podcast full-time. We reflect on the highs, the lows, the moments that challenged us, and the parts of the journey we’ll never forget.

We talk openly about what this year has meant to us, what we’ve learned along the way, and the moments that reminded us why we started in the first place.

To wrap it all up, we’re also sharing that The Shared Minds Podcast will be taking a short break over the New Year period a chance to reset, recharge, and come back even stronger in 2026.

Thank you for being part of this journey. This one’s special ❤️

In Part 1, we unpacked what it was really like for Trevor Butler to win Big Brother 2004, take home Australia’s first ever $1,000,000 cash prize, and step out of the house as arguably the most famous person in the country overnight. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, pause this and go back, because this conversation hits differently once you know what he came from.

In Part 2, we go deeper.

This episode explores Trevor’s transition from reality TV superstar to respected radio host at 102.9 Hot Tomato, and the uncomfortable, often unseen rebuild that had to happen behind the scenes. We unpack the power of manifesting, belief, and timing, and how Trevor learned that money and fame don’t equal fulfilment unless you have the mindset to hold them.

Trevor opens up about losing anonymity, redefining his identity after the spotlight fades, and the life lessons that only come from winning a million dollars, navigating public judgment, and building a career that’s lasted decades instead of moments.

This isn’t just about radio.
It’s about reinvention, resilience, and learning who you are after the world stops watching.

In this episode, we sit down with a true Gold Coast icon, Trevor Butler (Big Trev) from 102.9 Hot Tomato, the first person in Australian history to win the largest cash prize the country had ever seen 1 Million Dollars.

He opens up about what life was really like inside the Big Brother house, the intense audition process, and the moment he stepped back into the real world before social media existed when overnight fame was raw, unfiltered, and impossible to escape.

Trevor shares what it felt like to suddenly become the most recognisable person in Australia, how he handled the pressure, the attention, and the identity shift that comes with instant fame and fortune.

We were invited onto one of the Gold Coast’s biggest radio stations 102.9 Hot Tomato for a completely last-minute, spur-of-the-moment guest spot with Moira & Trev, two absolute GC icons.

They had no idea what False Memory OCD was, so the convo turned into a raw, honest chat about our story, mental health, and why we started The Shared Minds Podcast. It ended up being a powerful little 10-minute segment that we really wanted to share with you all.

So this episode is simply that radio moment, a reminder of why we do what we do.

Tune in, have a listen, and enjoy a slice of the Hot Tomato airwaves with us.

This episode is Part Two of a two-part crossover, and everything we’re about to get into builds on what we covered in the last one. So if you haven’t listened to Part One yet, hit pause and go check it out first, otherwise you’re gonna be pretty lost.

We bring in your voices. We put the call out earlier in the week, and so many of you opened up about your own journeys from what it’s really like being a stay-at-home parent, to trying to become one, to the sacrifices and steps you’re taking to make it possible. We go through your stories, your realities, and the honest challenges behind chasing a role that looks different for every family.

In this two-part crossover between The Shared Minds Podcast and Underqualified & Oversharing, we dive straight into a convo that had Liam proper fired up. It kicked off after he saw a video claiming every woman should be a stay-at-home mum and for someone who grew up in a single-parent home and watched the financial pressure firsthand, that hit on a whole different level.

Part One is us pulling the curtain back on the real stay-at-home parent experience why it sounds like the dream, why so many people desperately wish they could do it, and why the financial world we’re actually living in makes it damn near impossible for most families.

And if you want the full thing with all the nuance, rants, and chaos… the full video is now up on YouTube. Go check it out.

Before diving into this absolute chaos, make sure you catch Part 1, because things get wild fast.

What started as Time of Death has officially been reborn under the Shared Minds Podcast umbrella as Underqualified and Oversharing, and this episode sets the bar ridiculously high.

Liam and I go all in on the absurdities of daily life, drivers who should never be on the road, shocking (and hilarious) petrol station moments, and some of the most irrelevant jobs you’ll ever hear about. Warning: tears of laughter are guaranteed we were barely able to speak from laughing so hard.

Hands down the funniest podcast we’ve ever recorded, this episode is the perfect reintroduction to a show that’s outrageous, relatable, and completely unfiltered. Buckle up, because Underqualified and Oversharing is back—and sillier than ever.

We’re back… kind of! This episode sets the bar ridiculously high what started as one of the best Shared Minds Podcast episodes yet has now officially merged with Underqualified and Oversharing.

From now on, these will be our “solos,” where we dive into the chaos of life with zero filters.

Join us as Liam and I vent about the most ridiculous drivers on the road, uncover shocking (and hilarious) petrol station moments, and ponder the most irrelevant jobs people are actually doing. We were in absolute tears recording this one it’s hands down the funniest episode we’ve ever done.If you want laughs, absurd stories, and some unfiltered chaos, this is the one.

Welcome to the new era of Underqualified and Oversharing.
