Episode 34 – Part 1: “How the Hell Did We Get Here?” (Buzz & Gypsie)Two old mates, zero fluff. We crack open the big one: how did everyday Aussies end up overworked, over-stressed and under-free? From numbers-before-names school days to tap-and-go living, from health wake-ups to finding your feet again, Buzz and Gypsie trade real stories, real laughs, and practical moves for this week. It’s tr...

Legends—Part 2 is here. If Part 1 was pit to podium, Part 2 is what happens after the podium. Amanda Allen came back from a total hip replacement… and still qualified for the CrossFit Games. Then life swung again—shoulder blow-out, domestic violence, homeless in a van, and a relapse that almost cost her everything. And she’s never said this publicly—until now. In this episode, Amanda opens the pag...

“Alright legends — welcome back to Episode 32, Part 2: Les Walker — The Man that Keeps Turning Up. In Part 1 we went back to the kid before the titles — the early jobs, the first hard hits, and that lesson to rise above when the rock-throwers come. Now we step into the turning point. The moment you realise people are watching… and what you do starts to matter beyond you. Les talks about coaching a...

Episode 33 of Who Is Your Hero has just dropped. Amanda Allen — “From Darkness to Dominance… and a Few Wolfhounds Along the Way.” This one isn’t told by me — it’s listened to by me. I’m there to ask the questions. Amanda is there to tell her story. From a childhood of chaos… to alcoholism at fourteen… to the edge of giving up —and then the rebuild: sobriety, discipline, and becoming a 3× CrossFit...

Episode 32: Les Walker — The Man that Keeps Turning Up. This one isn’t the polished version of life. No media-trained answers. No LinkedIn award speeches. We go straight to the bone — the truth, the setbacks, the scars, the reasons people keep getting up when life keeps belting them. Les is on the line with me — and whatever you think of him, no one can say he doesn’t turn up. Rain. Floods. Online...

You know what gets me, tribe? We keep saying we live in a free country. But most people aren’t living freedom — they’re living FREE-DUMB. Yeah, FREE-DUMB. Looks shiny on Insta, but it’s slavery in disguise. Let’s break it down. D — Distraction. We’re drowning in it. Scrolling, swiping, gossiping — numbed out by noise. Entertainment’s become sedation. U — Unconscious living. Wake, rush, grind, cras...

🎙️ Episode 3 — “The Comfort Trap” Aussies love comfort — cold beers, backyard barbies, footy on the telly — but when comfort becomes a lifestyle, it quietly kills our hunger to grow. In this brutally funny, dead-honest chat, Buzz calls out how the system feeds us just enough pleasure to keep us calm… and compliant. From “a beer fixes everything” culture to the way we dodge discomfort like it’s a d...

Episode 2 — “The Illusion of Freedom” We say we’re free — but are we really? In this powerful second chapter, Buzz peels back the layers of the modern system — schooling, work, media, money — and asks the uncomfortable question: who’s actually running the show? From the moment we’re born, we’re taught to follow the script: study hard, get a job, buy the house, pay the taxes, and call that freedom....

🎙️ EPISODE 1 — Comfort Kills: How Australia Got Too Bloody Soft This one kicks off with a laugh — and a slap of truth. From footy sheds to Friday-arvo beers, we’ve built a culture around being comfortable. But what happens when comfort turns into control? Buzz cracks open the first part of the Start Getting Uncomfortable trilogy — diving into how the “Aussie dream” quietly became a system designed...

Ep 29 (Part 2): The Everyday Aussie Who Stood Up — Jody LoweJody goes beyond slogans and into the guts of real change—how childhood chaos forged a protector, why he plans seven weeks ahead, and how blokes can manage the “ton of straw” without blowing a fuse. We talk ego on long-service leave, trolls vs restraint, being a present dad, and building an Australia grounded in balance, accountability an...

welcome back to Part 2 of Who Is Your Hero with Jason Siebert. Part 1 took us from floodwaters to first principles — why shelter before anything flips a human from surviving to thriving, and how Jason’s Heartland Homes Project and Rehome Roots turn one sale into someone else’s second chance. Today we’re going deeper. We’re talking real poverty — is it material or spiritual? We’re talking scars tha...

Today’s story carries the title: ‘The Everyday Aussie Who Stood Up – Jody Lowe’. Every so often, you come across someone who doesn’t just talk about courage and bravery — they live it, breathe it, and stand in it every single day. Our guest today is one of those blokes.   Now, let me be clear from the start: we’re not here to push politics, tick boxes, or run agendas. But sometimes, when you talk...

Meet Julie Hogben — 31 years old, full of courage, and right now fighting her way through dialysis while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. She sat down with me on Who Is Your Hero to share the raw, real story of what it’s like to live with kidney failure at such a young age — the challenges, the laughs, the resilience, and the hope.

Doug Steley – Fighting Battles Beyond the Uniform🔥 Smashing Opening (Approx. 5 mins)Buzz:“G’day legends, Buzz here — and welcome back to Who Is Your Hero.

“G’day tribe, tonight’s a big one. After four months of hospital runs, every second day back into North Ward, the tubes are finally out, and for the first time in months I had a proper shower. Not a wipe down, not a splash with a washer — I mean a full, hot, stand-there-till-the-water-runs-cold kind of shower. Might sound small, but to me, it felt massive. Support the show

“When kidney failure hit, I found out real quick who my mates were. Most vanished, but a handful stuck. At first it felt brutal, then I realised — it was a gift. It’s like Facebook culling your friends list for you — only life does it much more efficiently.” This Podcast id dedicated to all of them .. Support the show

“G’day legends, Buzz here with another kidney-fuelled yarn. And today we’re going straight to the bottom of the barrel… literally. So, the nurses handed me this thing called the Bristol Stool Chart. Yeah, you can’t make this stuff up. It’s basically a grading system for your turds — turns out even your poo needs a performance review these days. Now when you’re on PD, keeping the plumbing moving is...

“Ever been told you’ve put your foot into it? 👣Mate, I’ve made a bloody career out of it. Some people collect stamps, I collect awkward silences. And here’s the funny thing: half the time, people think you’ve stuffed up. But really… you’ve just said what everyone else was too chicken to say. It’s like the elephant in the room. Everyone’s patting it, feeding it peanuts, pretending it’s not there…...

 life’s got this nasty habit of throwing curveballs when you think you’re on a roll. Cloudy bags, midnight alarms, hospital food that tastes like cardboard soup 🍲…It’s all part of the gig. But the lesson?👉 You don’t get to pick the battles.👉 You do get to choose how you show up to fight them.

Legends, this one cuts deep. The medical system loves to throw words around:👉 “You’ll never recover.”👉 “This is terminal.”👉 “Six months to live.” But here’s the truth I’ve lived: the mind gives up before the body does. And if you let those words write your ending, they will. Episode 18 of Who Is Your Hero is about flipping the script:⚡ Turning timelines into challenges⚡ Refusing to be just an...

I’m on my second day of PD training — and I’ll tell you what, the nurses I’ve had this week, absolute legends. Angels in scrubs. They’ve kept me alive, kept me laughing, and they’ve helped me see something I didn’t expect — freedom. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m still hooked up to machines at night, still fighting the big fight, but for the first time in 12 weeks I can see a bit of my life coming ba...
