As a teenager, Tom dreamed of playing cricket for Australia, and felt that he was moving in the right direction when in 2010, at the age of 22, he began a professional cricket career with Middlesex County Cricket Club in England, giving him the opportunity to learn from and play against some of the best players in the world. He was incredibly excited and felt like he'd ‘made it’. However, three years later his world came crashing down when he was unexpectedly released from his contract, and decided to return to Perth. 

Devastated, and upon reflection, he soon came to the conclusion that psychologically he had not been up to the task; convinced that it was his mindset that prevented him from performing at his best, and going on to have a satisfying long-lasting successful professional cricketing career. 

"Scolls", as he is affectionately known by his 125,000 Instagram fans, then set out to create a business that would support nurture and develop aspiring young athletes into record-breaking professional athletes. He developed a program focused on his "6 Pillars of Success" and has not looked back! His students are amongst some of the highest performing athletes in Australian cricket.

What I love about Tom and his principles is that they can be applied across all sports, and life in general.

If you're looking to increase your results on your professional field or off the field in your personal life, this is the episode for you: Tom Scollay on Mission, Transition and Personal Best on The Mapplife Podcast.

After the 2015 release of her highly anticipated photographic book, RISE, a detailed insight of her personal journey into the world of Australian Hip-Hop, Michelle has also spread her creativity across a number of different avenues, showing an agile versatility – from fashion, to film, to photography and international cultural events.

Her repertoire continues to grow, with Australian and international artists requesting her talents to photograph both live performances and portrait images, used for press, publicity and album covers.

Michelle has been invited as the official tour photographer for Ruel, Seth Sentry & Illy, and was the Official Festival Photographer for COME TOGETHER at Sydney's iconic Big Top at Luna Park for 4 consecutive years.

After shooting with literally every major player in the Australian Hip-Hip scene, Michelle then spent four years on a major personal project called, HER SOUND, HER STORY - celebrating Women in Australian Music, across all genres, with her project partner, Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore. Michelle & Claudia worked with over 80 women, both artists and behind the scenes in the music industry, across all genres, shooting portraits and interviews for this highly ambitious project.

It was my absolute pleasure to speak with Michelle. The insights, tools and strategies she offers in this episode cross more than just barriers, cultures & creative-realms – we outline one of the paths through the valley of shadows! A must-listen for anyone looking to overcome challenges to become the best version of themselves; for themselves and the world around them.

Tyler Richardson is the lead singer/bass player of Tasmanian heroes, Luca Brasi.

From humble beginnings on the East Coast of Scamander, Tyler and his bandmates have become a foundation of the Tasmanian music scene, and a player in the Australian music scene. Playing every major festival and venue Australia has to offer, and subsequently tours around the world and racking up an ARIA Nomination and Top 10 album, Luca Brasi have proven that effort turns into longevity and loyalty. 

Tyler also is a high school teacher in Materials Design and Technology at a Tasmanian High School, meaning he splits his time between the classroom, the studio and the stages of the world. We get into how he goes about wearing these different hats (and you'll notice I didn't say masks because Tyler is as authentic as they come), as well as, his keen interest in mentoring young people and furthering social causes.

Cooper Chapman is a World Qualifying Series (WQS) surfer who has represented Australia four-times at the Junior World Championships and has been selected as part of the Australian Olympic-Readiness Team. 

Cooper has been at the peak of his surfing game for 15+ years; and, with a career-high ranking of 23rd, he was (and hopefully is) well on his way to becoming part of the World Championship Tour and the Olympic Games. 

However, no matter how hard he trained or how often he achieved, he states “something was missing within”; and, after a journey into the depths of himself to discover the purpose he was put on this Earth to pursue, Cooper founded, The Good Human Factory – which aims to educate and inspire our youth to be good humans.  

WHY? Because we can all be a little kinder  to ourselves and others - to be a good human if we aim for it every day. 

For this initiative, Cooper was recently instated as an Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Lifeline Community Custodian. 

Hear about this, and more about Cooper’s pursuit for personal greatness, with Cooper Chapman on The MAPPLIFE Podcast.
