A Passionate Inquiry

On a recent trip my best mates and I were hitchhiking through Guyana and got very lost in a town called Yupukari. Oddly, there was one 'western-looking' man there who had set himself up quite nicely and we were highly intrigued. This man was Ash. Having grown up to follow his mother's footsteps wayyy into the wilds of Africa and South America, Ash incidentally fashioned himself into...

My friends and I had envisioned getting ourselves to a remote indigenous village in the Guyanese jungle. I had hopes of recording a conversation with some locals as English is the national language. Through a hitchhiking mishap we ended up in a very different remote indigenous village from the initially intended area. We were also not in the jungle but, instead, in the savannah!! We were nonethele...

This ep is purely for our future selves and maybe mums who want to hear about our trip! A blow-by-blow recount of NYE in Rio, Visiting the Darwin of Brazil (Boa Vista), Hitchhiking in Venezuela, Meeting Pocahontas irl and partying in local indigenous rivers, the mythical Mt Roraima hike itself and everything in between… A long-winded listen which may or may not be returned to in decades to come. T...

This was a properly self-indulgent recording from when we first met and landed in our Favela AirBnB in Rio for NYE 2025. Many more of our (especially Ted's) stories that we now have saved for posterity. Xav recounted his travels thus far as we all dreamed of our travels to come. Fair bit of business chat, life goals chat and Tim struggling to stfu chat (which cheap beer didn't help) and...

My Auntie Kim comes on to run through the broad timeline of her life so far. From Uni, to London, to becoming Mayor, to being on heaps of boards, to running a huge hotel to ghost stories... We go through it all!! Always an amazing opportunity for me to interview a family member. Glad to have this recorded forever lol.

Ted and I have been adventuring around for as long as I can remember.  Whether exploring Melbourne's ethnic hotspots, storm-water drains and abandoned buildings or hitchhiking overseas, it's been quite the hobby! It was awesome delving into some aspects of him we've never properly explored as well as ensuring his stories are on the record. More to come from Ted in upcoming episodes!

This ep was recorded across two sessions squeezed between Freediving sessions and me getting to the airport... thus interruptions abound! Harmon grew up in an Indian single mum household amongst the sugarcane and banana farms of Far North Queensland. Influenced by conservative family and community members on one side, and rogue adventuring locals on the other, he has a fascinating journey of findi...

I met Jack a few years back and saw in him a blueprint for life. Jack started and runs a successful Freediving school in Far North Queensland, dives ~100m on a single breath, grows tropical fruit and a hell of a lot more! This is a glimpse into the lore behind the man...

Benno and I met in a cafe in Bali and I was keen to explore his story going from a 'normal' life as pharmacist in The Netherlands to chasing his dreams and becoming a professional photographer all around the world! We also stumbled into the not--often-discussed world of gay p*rn in which he worked behind the camera for decades. A great chat with a dedicated artist who has and continues t...

Grandma returns to update on her cancer journey and continue telling her life story. We get into the state of the world and young people, the feminist movement, spirituality, her love story and plenty more...

Ana has lived many lives across many continents and now channels all her experience into Breathwork offerings online and in-person.   A truly marvellous journey so far...  

Ngatai is a true inspiration!   We met on a Freediving week away in Mt. Gambier a few years ago and his character shone through even in our relatively brief interactions.   We dive into his wild youth on the streets of the Illawarra, through his 20s gaining prestige as an asset on the rugby field and crowned 'bender king' off it.   He now works with disadvantaged youth and posts positive...

Artyom and I met as free dive instructors and have since engaged in many a discussion about Russia, relationships and a helluva lot more... This is Part 1 of his story!!!

Adam Stern... Champion Freediver, Successful Businessman, Influencer, Husband, Father... the list goes on!! Adam and I met a few years ago and his story and life setup has always been a beacon of inspiration for myself.  Finally, I here sat him down to ask all the questions about what his life looked like pre-freediving, his entrepreneurial successes and failures, the love story between him and hi...

Under the promise of being able to pat cows for the first time (I even got to ride one!) I travelled out to Em's farm to passionately inquire into the realities of rural life...   - How do cows even work?!  - What's dating like in the country?  - Drought, Suicide & Environmental impacts...   My ignorance in the face of Australian Agriculture showed!!  

BrahmanKyrie details her journey from drugs + alcohol addiction to deep spiritual practise.   A disciple of Sri Sakthi Amma, an esteemed spiritual leader in India believed to be a human embodiment of the Divine Mother.  This phenom is known as 'avatara' and includes the likes of Jesus Christ and Krishna...   This convo serves as a peak behind the curtain of a world few get to experience!...

My Grandma!!! I grew up with Grandma... She's essentially my second mum... She's battling pancreatic cancer... This is part 1 of her story.

David and I met in Guatemala and have followed each others' lives through social media ever since.  I've been highly interested and impressed in his use of social media content in presenting how he shares his passion for fitness and mindfulness in the context of Melbourne city life... It was an honour to sit down and unpack the story behind the man; strong Italian roots, quitting uni, tr...

Ethan and I met in Guatemala as he travelled throughout Latin America on a tight shoestring budget. Behind the global backpacker lies the story of an overweight, depressed and anxious boy who had very few expectations for his life... Ethan's transformational journey of fitness and friendship has now built a life full of love and adventure for the grown-up edition of that same boy.
