In this episode, we welcome Dr. Michael Robotham, a lifelong surfer with an extraordinary story — from child actor in Hollywood to neurologist and pain researcher, always guided by his love for the ocean.

Michael has conducted extensive research on pain, with numerous scientific publications to his name, and shares insights from years of studying how the brain and body experience and manage pain. We dive into the unlikely turns his life has taken, how surfing has been a constant anchor through change and pressure, and how his experiences in science, performance, and the sea have shaped his understanding of resilience, the human mind, and the body’s connection to the ocean.

This is a conversation about curiosity, perseverance, identity, and the deep ways surfing and science intersect in a life fully lived.
