Brandon Jack set the bar high. As the son of legendary league figure Garry Jack and brother of Sydney Swans captain Keiren Jack, when Brandon himself began playing for the Swans, it was a position that was loaded with expectation and a pressure that didn't always pay off. 

After his career in sport ended, he was forced to forge a new identity, purpose, measure of success - and was left with a few stories to tell.

Resetting Your Idea of Success with Brandon Jack

Is the way we were brought up the best way to raise our kids today?

In this deeply honest and insightful conversation, Osher speaks with family therapist, educator and author Lisa Taylor to explore the emotional patterns that shape family life — often without us even realising it. From childhood “heartprints” and generational conditioning to emotional regulation, repair and connection, Lisa explains why parenting is less about control and more about awareness.

Lisa shares her own journey from overwhelmed young mum to one of Australia’s most trusted parenting voices, opening up about grief, perfectionism, anxiety and the moment she realised there had to be a better way to parent. She also unpacks why children’s behaviour is all about communication, how unresolved childhood experiences influence our reactions as parents, and why "rupture and repair" is an essential part of healthy relationships.

This conversation also explores boundaries, teenage behaviour, emotional resilience, social media, discipline, and the pressure modern parents feel to “get it right, all the time". Whether you’re raising toddlers, teenagers, or reflecting on your own upbringing, this conversation offers practical tools, compassion and reassurance for anyone trying to build deeper connection within their family.

Kids Don’t Need Perfect Parents, Just Present Ones with Lisa Taylor

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/ed80b0c8-3878-4052-a246-b46a003f6da9/transcript

What happens when you spend more than 20 years standing at the crossroads between life and death? You learn A LOT.

In this powerful conversation, intensive care doctor and author Dr Matt Morgan shares the lessons he's taken from caring for hundreds of patients who have experienced cardiac arrest, near-death experiences, and life-changing moments in the ICU.

Matt reveals the moments that have reshaped the way he thinks about regret, forgiveness, relationships, and what truly matters when everything else is stripped away.

He also shares practical advice having witnessed people lose everything they thought defined them.

In those moments, he's seen what remains: connection, love, memories, and meaning. Because the question is not just what happens at the end of life — it’s what we choose to do with the time we have before then.

The Lessons From Death That Will Change How You Live

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/db401f1a-b105-466b-b324-b4660046ec0d/transcript

My guest this week is someone many Australians have grown up watching — perhaps on Neighbours, maybe on Dancing With The Stars, perhaps even Strike Back. Now Daniel MacPherson has taken on one of the most physically and emotionally demanding roles of his career for the film Beast.

In this conversation, we go far beyond the world of film and television, delving into identity, fatherhood, mental health, discipline, addiction, physical resilience, reinventing yourself in your 40s, and what it's really like to work with Russell Crowe.

Daniel opens up about the making of his new film Beast, the brutal physical preparation behind it, and why the story connected so deeply with him on a personal level. We also get into the realities of chasing purpose after success, the pressure many men carry silently, and the role movement, breathwork, training, and community can play in staying mentally strong.

It's an honest, thoughtful, and surprisingly vulnerable chat with a guy who’s spent years pushing himself physically and creatively, and who’s now doing some of the best work of his life.
