In this episode of The Remarkables, we speak with the CEO of The Resilience Project (TRP), Ben Waterman.

TRP was founded by Hugh van Cuylenburg after he volunteered and lived with a community in North India. Although the community had few material possessions, their infectious happiness inspired him to explore what helps people build happier, more resilient lives.

Since then, TRP has delivered resilience programs in schools, workplaces and communities, helping people develop practical skills to support their mental health and mindfulness. Independent evaluations by leading Australian universities have shown the programs are having a positive, measurable impact on students and, increasingly, workplaces across Australia.

The McGrath Foundation is widely associated with the Pink Test and the prominent display of pink during the Australian cricket season.

In recognition of International Day of People with Disabilities, we chat with Dylan Alcott on The Remarkables.

From winning four Paralympic gold medals to giving back to the community through philanthropy, acting and as a successful author of both a biography and kids books series, Dylan Alcott continues to pave the way and inspire young people living with disabilities. His goal is to see a world where disability is normalised – something he is achieving one career move at a time.

So how is he showcasing the importance of representation and what would younger Dylan be most proud of today?

TRACTION For Young People is a not-for-profit organisation striving to make a real difference to young Australians aged between 12-15 who may be at risk of disengaging from school. The organisation provides hands-on learning through projects like building bikes and boomboxes, providing an alternative learning experience where young people reconnect with education to build confidence. 

So far, TRACTION has helped over 3,000 young people, delivered almost 115,000 hours of mentoring and donated nearly 2,200 bicycles to young people – but what more can be done to help young people remain engaged in learning and brightening their future?

For Kim Crane and Richard Fox, paddling is so much more than a sport – it’s a lifestyle and driver of community, with the water being a place to switch off and unwind.

With the 2025 ICF World Championships fast approaching, how do they see the legacy of this event alongside the runway to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games?
