Banksy, Undercover, and the Cost of Tough | Keith Banks - 957
I sat down with Keith Banks and, mate, what a ride. From joining the cops at 17 to going deep undercover in the 70s drug world, then tactical ops, corruption, grief, survivor guilt, and the long road out of PTSD. We got into the messy middle most people skip over… the drinking to sleep, the hypervigilance, the identity crash, and the moment a stranger handed him a psychiatrist’s card that changed everything. This one’s about the real cost of being the tough one, why empathy and vigilance can coexist, and how vulnerability is not just a buzzword, but the way back. If you’ve ever tried to white-knuckle your way through pain, this ep will land.

Ditch The Second Guessing | Kelly Smith - 956
Kel’s back from Italy, jet lagged and pasta-happy, and we get into the real guts of confidence. We talk travel as a reset, ditching the Apple Watch, eating the damn spaghetti, and remembering how good life feels when you stop performing and just live it. Kel shares how she went from second-guessing herself to using her voice at work, online, and in life. We get honest about external validation, doing it scared, and why the action often has to arrive before the feeling. It’s warm, human, a bit cheeky, and a solid reminder that confidence is less sparkle, more reps.

Burnout, Homework, and Honesty | Mark LeBusque - 955
This one’s a raw and real continuation of the chat Mark and I had in episode 952. Mark’s back in the hot seat talking burnout, identity and doing the bloody work when your brain would rather watch cats play piano. We unpack the homework his coach set him, how much of his worth had hitched itself to work, and what it takes to sit in the mess without judging yourself. We talk fear of loss, walking your talk, Ben and Jerry’s, and why writing it down is where the truth shows up. For me, it was a mirror. For him, it was a line in the sand. Small shifts. Long game. Less performing. More honest living.

Keep Your Pants On: Comedy, Cats, and Keynotes | Bobby Cappuccio - 954
I think you know the gist by now... Bobby and I have fallen into quite the rhythm of kicking off every podcast with an unlikely chat about cats, but once we get that out of the way we launch into a fun banter on all things comedy, keynotes, keeping your pants on (maybe), and learning new skills. Enjoy!

The Hunger Games of Cancer | Lauren Rayner - 953
When oncology nurse and mum of three, Lauren Rayner, found a lump on her neck, she never imagined it would flip her world upside down. Diagnosed with a rare and aggressive stage 4 neuroendocrine carcinoma, she was given 14 months to live - but Lauren wasn’t having it. In this raw and powerful chat, she shares what it’s like being both the nurse and the patient, why she calls Australia’s health system “the Hunger Games of cancer,” and how she ended up in Germany fighting for her life with treatments that aren’t even available here. Today, her scans show no evidence of disease. This one’s about hope, advocacy, and the fight to stay alive in a bullsh*t system that doesn’t make it easy.

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.
Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:
What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?
We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.
We’re built to break.And we become dangerous by design.Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.
