Vision, perseverance and an uncanny ability to think outside the box, have made Lennox head local, Daniel 'Tomo' Thompson into one of the most sought after surfer/shapers in the industry.   With a shaping bay in the childhood backyard and surfing luminary George Greenough for a mentor, Tomo has both drawn on the influences of his past as well as cutting edge science to design boards that have been ridden by Tom Curren, Stu Kennedy and Peter Mel.  However, the ultimate compliment would come from the 'GOAT' Kelly Slater, describing him as 'one of his favourite shapers' and bringing him aboard the Slater Designs/Firewire Team as one of their factory designer/shapers.

Let's face it, raising kids is bloody hard at the best of times and rarely is there a hard and fast manual for how to do it.  This week however, we're incredibly fortunate to welcome the closest thing to that in Dr Justin Coulson - co-host and parenting expert on Channel 9's "Parental Guidance", the founder of happyfamilies.com.au, bestselling author/podcaster and one of Australia’s most trusted parenting experts - oh and did we mention the Father of 6 girls.  Justin's journey from self confessed school 'drop-out' to leading radio broadcaster to a PHD in Psychology is an amazing journey in itself, however his tips and strategies on parenting and building resilience within our kids is sure to make you revisit this episode many times over.   If you get as much out of this episode as we did, please visit https://justincoulson.com/ to find out more.

This week on the Ball and All podcast we are incredibly fortunate to welcome Barney Miller to the shed.  The word 'inspirational' gets thrown around a lot but when legends like Mick Fanning & Andy King look to this bloke in moments of struggle, you can be certain that Barney possesses some innate qualities that are pretty bloody rare. 

Barney was only 20yrs old, when his dreams of becoming a Professional Surfer were torn apart when a car he was a passenger in, hit a tree at 130kph - paralysing him from the chest down and Doctors diagnosing him as a complete C6 Quadriplegic.  From that point on Barney would receive a lot of 'never's' like - never breathe on his own, use his right arm, stand, walk, let alone surf again.  Barney has continued to defy those odds ever since, achieving things that his specialists thought were flat out impossible.   Further to that, it is his formidable partnership with beautiful wife Kada and their tireless work to make the lives of others better that makes Barney's story even more special.   

If you enjoy this podcast as much as we did and you would like to find out more about Barney & Kada's story please visit https://youandmecollective.com.au/.

From 9 years playing 'Sam Marshall' on the set of Home & Away, to countless rescues apart of the team at Bondi Rescue, to the chilly waters of the English Channel - it is fair to say this weeks guest Ryan 'Whippet' Clarke has crammed a lot into his 39 years.  However for all that he has achieved as an actor, lifeguard, family man and successful business owner, Whippet is both grounded and incredibly driven.   Not by fame or personal accolades but by a desire to help those less fortunate than he.  So kick back, relax and enjoy some hard won wisdom and a little nostalgia from a guy who essentially grew up in front of our eyes.

This week on the Ball and All podcast, we bring you our chat with Benny Berry - a genuinely selfless bloke, who in many ways became the reluctant face and voice for so many during the initial stages of the flood crises in Lismore and the surrounding areas.  With a career spent in varying rescue service roles both within the government and private sector, Benny is uniquely placed to provide insight and understanding as to how this crisis came about, the stifling bureaucracy and lack of resources that delayed any meaningful response and what we can do to plan and hopefully prevent events like this from occurring in the future.   

A word of warning as this is one of our heaviest podcasts to date, however we feel it is crucial for those not just in the areas affected but those outside to truly understand the magnitude of heartbreak and loss suffered by so many as well as the unrelenting actions of everyday Australians who put service before self in the rescue, feeding, housing and clean up of both family members and complete strangers.  To those who helped and continue to help in whatever capacity, we salute you.  To those doing it extremely tough right now, we will endeavour to raise as much as we can to help through our live podcast/challenge for which we encourage those who can to support below.

This week on the Ball and All podcast, we bring you our best of compilation for 2021.   Many thanks go out to our sound & audio genius Louis Muller for pulling this all together, without his help we'd honestly be up the proverbial without a paddle.  And a huge thank you to all of our loyal listeners who have so patiently put up with our dribble in order to hear the laugh out loud tales & sage wisdom from a cracking group of guests - some of which have travelled far and wide to be with us in the shed.   This is a little tribute and a big thank you to all who have supported us.
