Pro surfer Liam O’Brien joins the boys to break down his journey from Rainbow Bay grom to world-tour competitor, and how mindset, resilience, and pure obsession keep him chasing a CT comeback. Liam opens up about the injury that derailed his first season, the rollercoaster of falling off tour, rebuilding confidence, and the Gold Coast community (including his sponsor Coastal) rallying behind him through it all.

• The brutal ankle injury that derailed his first CT season
• How releasing expectations actually unlocked results
• Parallels between elite surfing & real-estate listing presentations
• Social media, athlete branding & the business of modern sport
