House parties are the best, they always have been the best. Squeezing down the cue and into a club has only ever offered a shadow of the house party experience. Ben Tillman turned his rocking house parties into an annual festival for 20000 young hooligans looking for fun, just like himself. He had fun, until he wrapped his car around a pole at 100km post-party. From there he's taken his rebellious trait to a new level: proving to the spinal unit that he can regrow his damaged spinal cord by transcending his form via meditation. No wonder his house parties were so good; always coming up with something new, Ben is. I still wonder what got into that kid with the Milo tin though.
Enjoy the ep.

Fierce and ferocious. The GT machine. Six time world bodyboarding champion, The Fighter never stops. Always another challenge, whether it be rollo's at big pipeline or who can delivery more pizza in a shift. Take a dive into the thoughts behind the actions and hear why Tamega see's himself as a born warrior. Thanks for taking the time GT. Beautiful bud.

Wife of Heydon Bunting (iconic waterman & ep15 guest), Emma lures me in with the personal process that saved their marriage - a practical process of empathy & and forgiveness. Full of emotion and gravity, this episode was a complete honour as we captured the perspective of those suffering in the wake of mental illness - often a turbulent and terrifying place to be. 
Thank you dearly Emma - you're nothing short of a hero. So much respect for you.
Love Brendo.

What even is this podcast?

The Grey Space with Brenden Newton is a weekly audio podcast released via Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google podcasts.

With listeners in 58 countries and 639 cities, since inception 2 months ago, there has been almost 10 000 downloads.

An eclectic run of global guests representing fame, fragility, confidence, confusion, pride and personality. Starting with bodyboarding, ending anywhere.

The Grey Space is a completely open platform regarding age, gender, religion, race, sexuality and spirituality. Authenticity is the currency of the conversation.

The premise on which the show is founded is that we all have shameful or uncomfortable secrets that we squirm through privately on a daily basis; and here is a space you may share without judgement, if you’d like.

Each 30-60 minute episode gently breaks stigma, allowing guests to feel strong about their vulnerability, ultimately ‘healing loudly’.

Having travelled extensively with his bodyboard, ridden the heaviest waves on the planet, experienced the deepest of shame and embarrassment, 2 decades haunted by OCD, having mentored 1000’s of young people and professionals via his role at AIME Mentoring, The Grey Space host - Brenden - now delights in sharing delicate, nuanced and honest conversations, liberating guests and listeners.
Rather than casting polarities and binary labels on ones identity, guests are encouraged to enter the uncomfortable nuance and uncertainties of life.

Welcome to The Grey Space - come in via a simple internet video call, and feel supported to ‘heal loudly’.
