'My path in life changed when my heart stopped'
110km/hr Todd's heart stopped beating. Waking up on the other side of a 4-lane highway in a cloud of white dust. 
Is adversity the doorway to experiencing heaven? Was this Todd's door ajar?
Interesting convo.
Enjoy.

Nick's been my comfortable buddy for 25 years. When I went to pro bodyboarding he went to crystal meth. The narrative, told by the talented conversationalist and comedian himself, is alarmingly grounding. His love for people & surf is sustaining. Even in jail or indo drug dens. Thanks for taking the time Nick. 
Please feel free to reach out to Nick on insta, he'll have you laughing in 3 seconds.

Creative discipline. Competitively at peace. Oxymoronic balance broker, Todd Barnes, walks us through his No Friends custodianship, inspired by Ocean Fire, Ballistic & his brother's Manta Wingnut. This ep is a great reminder of how balance can breed power. Todd's life is one of quality and creativity. 
Thanks Barnesy

JMB is the best leader I've ever met. Maybe one of the best leaders the world has seen. Big call, but prove me wrong. Founding AIME at 19 years old, this Bundjalung boy has hustled over $100 million AUD over the last 15 years, leveraging every dollar for the mentorship of 25000 youngsters across 6 countries; and has recently set his eyes on building a relational network who's algorithms provoke complex and diverse connection to what and who we don't know, rather than the silo-chambers of our dominant social platforms. Keeled over vomiting black bile Jack has seen some dark days, but only those of someone who refuses to take no for an answer. An expert in rejection, loneliness, leadership and negotiation, Jack credits his 'trap-doors' into play for his capacity to see joy in response to rejection. 
Jack is completely unique and utterly inspiring. A great friend and hope for myself and many.
Enjoy this electric episode.

This interview quenched my thirst. It may do the same for you. A unique creative & athletic talent across a number of mediums, Jim walks us through his internal world, his path to pro boogin', and some of what he's learning on his journey. A fresh, no fast food chat where the resourcing remains well after the outro song. Brave move Jim - thank you mate.

Russell unpacks a worrisome childhood, amidst a solid upbringing; a sweep through three wild bouts of depression - most recently potentially grounding him on 'notes of life' unreachable via any other route. From this place Russ shares with us, in the gentlest of ways - and what therapy it is.

Paul is a beautiful man. Articulate, insightful, intriguing, and with one hell of a story to tell. What's it like growing up as a gay man? What's it like feeling those urges and not having a clear path to truely be yourself. We can all learn something from this interview. I just love characters like Paul, who stand on a hill to help guide others with the shadow of his wrestle.
Thank you Paul.

A gentle childhood of love in his Redfern commune, sparked by a conscious Nun in the 70's Surfing World office, Albe laughs because he knows his inner landscape. The joy of kindness, the still solitude of his farmland - rich with connection: Yogasynthesis. What joy. What grace.
Albe, is free.
Enjoy.
