Terrible. Happy

This week, provocative podcaster, writer, and satirist, Mr Dennis Walker joins me for a chat live from his home in Mexico! Dennis and I discuss:

• His journey into podcast hosting and connecting with inspirational humans.
• His desire to create independent media platform/s to give key-stakeholders a place to converse on all things psychedelics.
• Emerging cultural and legal shifts in the psychedelic space, potential benefits, potential safety considerations.
• The importance of community frameworks.
• The importance of humour.
• The use of satire to entertain and educate.
• Observational comparisons between life in his birth place of USA, to life in Mexico, and much much more.

Charismatic, inspired and passionate, Dennis is very well-spoken and super interesting.
Enjoy,
Shan

This week Ian "Chef" Larios shares his journey into becoming regarded as the world's best (and most sought after) Nutritionist and Dietician for the world's best fighters. After getting an opportunity to work with Sergio Pettis almost ten years ago, he has since been invited to be part of fight camps with the likes of Daniel Cormier, newly crowned light heavy weight champion, Jamal Hill, and interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez. Ian joins me live from his home in Bali and shares:

•  His childhood growing with parents as international school teachers.
• Moving from country to country from a young age.
• Discovering his love for Bali as a child.
• Being told he had no talent by teachers.
• Finding a niche role in competitive fighting.
• Refining is craft at the "Swamp House" in Canguu.
• Sleeping on floors in Thai gyms in his early days of chasing his dream.
• The important role he plays in assisting fighters to cut weight safely without impacting performance.
• His desire to change the culture of weight cutting.
• Getting a major acknowledgement and shoutout on the Joe Rogan Experience.
• Training with champions constantly and the positive impact of being surrounded by champion mind-sets.
• Inadvertently becoming a counsellor to fighters.
• The importance of developing rapport.
• Running an ultra marathon for charity and much much more. 

It's a long conversation that seems to really take flight after the first 45 minutes or so. Ian is a 29 year old man, living his dream...you'll be inspired. I guarantee it.
Enjoy,
Shan 

Ian supports and advocates for the Bali Children Foundation

Jeremy Rowling is a skateboarder, photographer, dedicated family-man, and a lifelong friend. It's an important episode for me. As a teenager, Jeremy was that person I looked-up to the most. He was a few years older, a few years cooler, confident, kind, funny, and the catalyst that held the crew together. Enamoured with skateboarding, and as the the oldest...he had a job. This meant that he was able to buy the latest skate videos when they came out, in which we would spend countless hours watching, studying, learning, mimicking, and developing our sense of identity as individuals, and also as a collective crew, in the process.
In this week's episode Jeremy discusses his childhood growing up in semi-rural NSW, finding skateboarding, his family's move to the south coast, that time he knocked his tooth out learning how to ollie, finding a magical crew, that time Julian shot me with a slug-gun, skateboarding in a time without skateparks, legendary Nowra spots, influences, falling in love with his now wife, becoming a father, why radness begets radness,  and much much more. We could've talked for days reminiscing...Straight-up golden years of skating, partying, hanging with friends and no responsibility. Mainly good times, sometimes awkward, sometimes painful,  either way, it seems like most of us reflect on our teen years with great reverence.
So listen, compare, and reflect on your own experience with this stage of life, and ask yourself who your Jeremy Rowling was.
Enjoy,
Shan

Ricky Roberts tunes in from St. Petersburgh, Florida, USA to check-in since last time he was on the show. Ricky discusses his latest writing endeavour, his more recent mental health issues of the last couple of years, finding his feet with parenting, why he is still progressing on a skateboard in his mid 40's, the success of his book "Thank you Skateboarding" and much more. I feel a real affinity with Ricky; we are the same age, bald, we have beards, similar complexion, similar family background story amongst other things. This conversation is analytical in it's general nature, but during the second half, it kind of takes a serious path as we discuss our experiences with loss, grief, overdose and suicide. That being said, trigger warning for the last 30 mins, issues associated with suicidal ideation are raised. If you're struggling, reachout, you're not alone.

Spencer Frost is a talented surfer and filmmaker from the suburb of Avalon, in the northern beaches area of Sydney, Australia. This week, Spencer sits down with me in-person to discuss his early days growing up, starting out in surf film-making, his transition into commercial projects with his own company Spencer Frost films, his early mentors, and a detailed behind the scenes account of his latest collaborative passion project "Corners of the Earth: Kamchatka" with friends Guy Willement, Fraser Dovell, and Letty Mortensen. It is such an epic tale of modern day surf exploration, commitment, overcoming adversity, friendship and achievement. I was literally hanging off his every word, and I can't wait to watch the movie.
Enjoy getting to know Spencer Frost as much as I did.

Jamie "The Hooligan" Mullarkey is a professional MMA fighter who is contracted to the UFC. In this week's episode, Jamie discusses: 

•  Being added to the UFC284 roster in Perth, Australia. 
• An update on his fight camp preparation
• His life growing up in the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
• Why he was originally drawn to MMA.
• Coaches that have been influential on him
• The importance of spending time with mates
• Managing nerves.
• Facing fear.

I find Jamie to be somewhat of a paradox; an absolute savage in the Octagon, yet a kind, laid-back, easy going human otherwise. It's been epic watching him train over the last few weeks. The commitment and dedication is unparalleled.  

Professional fighter, past guest and friend, Mr Jarrett Wilbraham is our special guest co-host this week.
Enjoy,
Shan

Wayne Cleveland is an iconic local from the Southern Sydney suburb of  Maroubra. Big wave charger and life-long surfer, Wayne is a larger than life character that is full of charisma, energy, and an innate kindness that underlies his robust stature and presence. This week, Wayne shares openly and honestly about the events of his wild life so far... Charging big waves, cocaine smuggling, being under police surveillance, 10 years of prison time, getting (and staying) sober, using prison time to work on himself, his passion for hunting big waves (every single swell), harnessing his entrepreneurial spirit in a positive way, and much much more.  It's raw, real, and at times confronting to hear Wayne's story, but it has a resounding redemptive nature to it. For me,  I learnt that while there is still breath in your lungs, it's never too late to start again. You are only a product of your past if you allow it, you don't have to be defined by it.
Happy 2023.
Enjoy,
Shan

Wow. What an absolute banger of a final episode for the year! Simon Wills is a pure skateboarder. And like most of my skateboarding related episodes, we barely talk about skateboarding. Instead, Simon takes us on a journey into his early years growing up in government housing in the South Western Sydney suburb of Campbelltown, he gives us an insight into the violent and often drug-fuelled culture that emerges in such areas, he talks about managing skate shops, working with the brand Globe, his very different personal drug-use story, his family breakdown, making amends, the importance of authenticity, and much much more. There is so many layers to this conversation, I struggle to keep up. Friend, past guest, social worker, University lecturer, rad human and literally my personal favourite skateboarder, Mr Tim Conan co-hosts this week. 
I'm taking a break until the 8th January 2023. Big thanks for listening, supporting, sharing, laughing, crying, and for joining me on this journey. Lots of amazing episodes planned for 2024 already!
If you are feeling lonely or isolated this holiday period. Send me a DM for a chat. I'll always reply.
Enjoy,
Shan
