TWO AM I

He’s a charismatic publican, musician and martial arts referee. And there isn’t anything Greg ‘Clanger’ Kleynjans puts his mind to that he doesn’t do with 100% passion and a good sense of humour. He’s the kind of guy who knows everyone and has done A LOT, but you wouldn’t know it because words like humble and genuine sum up this one in a million human. Clanger is a true storyteller, with a back catalogue of material to work with. He’s not just a former fighter himself but has officiated hundreds of Mixed Martial Arts fights across Australia, the US, China, Japan and beyond. He also played a key role creating one of the AFL’s greatest dynasties of the modern era (the Richmond Tigers). Oh and if you haven’t heard of the band the Shandy Butchers, then listen in, because that yarn is frankly a clanger!

Changing his name from Andrew to Osher (meaning happiness in Hebrew) may have been an ‘aggressive rebrand’ but for Osher Günsberg it helped put a space between the “him who was drinking and using and the him that got to live the rest of his life not being that guy anymore.” Years on, Osher is raw and real when he speaks about mental illness, addiction, sobriety and death. In recounting his journey from hosting the hit TV shows Australian Idol and The Bachelor, to his breakthrough radio days, and now as a best-selling author, successful podcaster and passionate Dad, photographer and cyclist, Osher doesn’t leave anything unsaid and works to inspire others as we all navigate the ups and downs of life.

If you loved Part 1 of Osher’s raw and real story, don’t miss Part 2. In this episode, Osher dives even deeper into his journey through mental illness, addiction, sobriety, and confronting death. He leaves nothing unsaid, sharing his experiences to inspire others as we all navigate the ups and downs of life.

Episode 9: Jack Riewoldt & Shane McCurry

They first met at a café in Richmond in Melbourne, and Jack and Shane admit, it was ‘connection at first sight’. The pair realised straight away that they shared a passion for leadership, growth and a fascination for people and their stories. What began as a professional relationship at the Richmond Football Club, turned into a friendship and partnership co-hosting TWO AM I. And in this final episode of Season 4, Jack and Shane reflect on their guests over the past eight episodes, and what they learned from each; from how to embrace your inner child, to believing in yourself and others, and how to breathe through the tough stuff.

Episode 8: Tansel Ali

Tansel Ali used to have a terrible memory. He’d forget people’s names, conversations he’d just had, numbers, and even had difficulties remembering what he just read. It was when he started learning ‘memory techniques’ that he realised his memory wasn’t bad, it was just untrained. Tansel was in his early 20s when he discovered memory training, at the same time he learned he needed serious stomach surgery, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. So while he recovered in hospital he put his mind to work. Since then, Tansel has been crowned four-time Australian Memory Sports Champion, memorised two Yellow Pages phone books, authored two books, created educational initiatives for schools and helped people with dyslexia, ADHD, as well as high performance athletes, keynote speakers and corporate leaders.

 

**We would like to say an extra special thank you to Tansel for recording this episode with us just a few days after his Dad had passed away, we so appreciated his willingness to sit down and chat and be so open. Our condolences to Tansel and his family**

Episode 7: Penelope Jordan

A bike rave, Korean BBQ, bouldering and pole dancing are just a handful of new things the First Timers Club has tried, since kicking off in January 2024. And Penelope Jordan couldn’t be more thrilled that her idea for a club for curious grown-ups looking to connect with others, has taken off. The genesis for FTC came after she returned from a stint overseas and following Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns, when she and her friend Rosie held their first activity when it was just the two of them. But the popularity has grown, where complete strangers come together to do a thing, realising the ‘first time’ isn’t necessarily about the activity, but rather getting past the fear and anxiety of showing up in the first place.

Episode 6: Ben Northey

Music was in Benjamin Northey’s blood from a young age, and he credits his teachers at Ballarat Clarendon College for encouraging his path into music where he studied flute, clarinet and saxophone. But it was the belief and mentorship of John Hopkins who encouraged Ben, at age 29, to be the first candidate for his new Master of Music in Conducting degree at the Victorian College of the Arts and Music that he will never forget. Now as Chief Conductor of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor, Artistic Advisor Learning and Engagement of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Ben says he’s one of the luckiest people he knows because he loves what he does. From conducting orchestras the world over, to collaborating with big names including Tim Minchin, James Morrison, Sting and Hilltop Hoods, Ben is living his dream and is ever grateful for those who helped him get there.

Episode 5: Megan Waters

“Life is short. Live it fully and healthily.” It’s an important mantra for Megan Waters, borne from a very hard life lesson. Losing her Dad and best friend not only broke her for a time, but it also gave her the strength to refocus her life, redefine what health and wellness means to her, and find a new path forward. Megan is now the presenter of NITV’s Yokayi Footy, a Nike Trainer, ambassador and host, breathwork facilitator, and as a proud Warumungu/Yawuru woman, raised on Larrakia Country in Darwin, her connection to culture and country is a strong and a significant passion. While she has made Melbourne home, there’s nothing she loves more than returning to Darwin, taking her shoes off, and sinking into the earth there, that grounds her. In this episode, we take a few deep breaths with Megan Waters.

Episode 4: James Van Cuylenburg

 

Ask Dr James Van Cuylenburg if he’d rather be a rock star or clinical psychologist and he simply can’t choose between his two loves. James spends his days helping others navigate life, and by night moonlighting on the stage as the great Billy Joel, among other music legends, performing across Victoria. While James primarily works with adults, couples and families in his day job, his fascination with how we are shaped as children remains a big focus, especially tapping into the child self and embracing the joy of childhood and the importance of imagination, play and fun. But he’s candid about what he sees as the biggest challenge for humans today, and that’s the growing need for self-acceptance and self-compassion, and his wish and goal to teach as many people as possible to give a generous read of themselves as they do for others.
