  • #92 - Taylor Jensen: On World Titles, patience and quality over quantity.

    Send us Fan Mail

    https://terriblehappytalks.com/
    Taylor Jensen is one of the most successful and dominant competitive Longboarders in the world today. With three WSL World Longboard championship titles, and numerous other national titles in both America and Australasia his career resume is impressive to say the least. However, at his core, I see a humble family man who is driven by progression, over accolades and titles. His progressive (and sometimes aggressive) approach to Longboarding is not only jaw-dropping, but also symbolic of someone manifesting a true affinity with the ocean and the natural environment. In this week's episode, Taylor is with me live from Oceanside California to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

    Taylor advocates for:

  • #91 - Sam Giles: On Skateboarding, that MMA fight, and not over-thinking.

    Send us Fan Mail

    https://terriblehappytalks.com/
    Sam Giles is a sponsored skateboarder and member of legendary Skate brand; Super Happy Fun Crew. At his peak, Sam was among a handful of Australian Skateboarders who achieved the dream of making a living from Skateboarding for a period of time. Like many of the best to do it, these were never his reasons for skating, however, he has won numerous high-profile competitions and gained consistent exposure in some of the most respected skateboarding (and mainstream) media outlets in Australia and America. For me, Sam is one of those rare individuals who possesses a focus and determination that’s on another level. The fact that he had a proper MMA fight "just because" is testament to this. Combined with natural athleticism, watching Sam on a skateboard is an awe inspiring experience that leaves you shaking your head in disbelief. He is art in motion. In this week's episode, Sam is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

    Sam supports and advocates for:

    https://terriblehappytalks.com/
    Leigh Finch is a Barrister admitted into the Supreme Court of NSW Australia. He practises in criminal law, family law, discrimination and workplace harassment. Armed with a quiver of strong ethical standards, a distinct lack of ego, and a suit he purchased from the Op-Shop,Ā  Leigh can best be described as a social justice warrior. Leigh will readily relinquish income in order to support the most vulnerable and fight against injustice. Having known Leigh for many years, I can say with some level of authority that he is by far the most unassuming and unique individual I know. Approachable, annoyingly quirky, and ferociously intelligent, in this week's episode, Leigh is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

    A POEM FOR KISH

    In a state or reflection,
    Staring at the gifts of imperfection,
    Defined by visions of the future,
    A mirror for the matahari,
    A beaming human,
    Mystically enmeshed,
    With pigmentations of the future primitive,
    Armed with the strength of vulnerability,
    And a love for secrets,
    Which is no secret,
    The Mister,
    From Tula Vista,
    An undefinable dot,
    A portal for an entity that is, but is not,
    Journey, experiences,
    And hopes for future,
    Shared with honest grace,
    Kish,
    Welcome.
