Rod Campbell, the creator of Learning Life Through Sport is a firefighter football coach and a father of five who has dedicated his adult life to helping people.

Rod uses the superpower of selflessness to inspire others to make someone else's day better. Rod has been audited with the Australian Fire Service medal for his inspirational efforts in educating adolescents in road safety.

Rod's road awareness campaign he coordinated for 15 years resulted in a 75% reduction in fatalities in the 16 to 19-year-old bracket in South Australia and a reduction in serious injuries of over one-third.

Rod has created an education program, Learning Life Through Sport, to tackle what, in my view, is a crisis in bad parenting behaviour in junior sports in Australia and around the world.

Dispelling the Ugly Parent Syndrome at junior sport with Rod Campbell

The awesome Nic Naitanui had a clear vision and purpose from day one, and in this conversation you'll hear how that vision led him to fulfil a lifelong dream for his family in the most profoundly beautiful way. 

'Nic Nat' was the AFL's number two draft pick in 2008 and went on to become a three-time All Australian and two-time West Coast Eagles best and fairest.

He is known for his athleticism and power, and is considered a cult hero in the sport but Nic is so much more than an Australian Rules footy champion. He’s a partner, a father, a mentor, co-founder of non-alcoholic beverage company ALTR and an extraordinary role model for what’s possible when you merge hard work with kindness and humility.

The conversation gives a rare insight into Nic's personal life, including his family's immigration from Fiji, his upbringing in a struggling neighbourhood, and his current life as a father and entrepreneur. You're going to love it.

Nic Naitanui: Setting and crushing enormous goals while staying true to yourself

With the team ready for the Olympics to begin in less than two weeks, Tess shares the strategies she uses to deal with the challenges of managing a team spread across the globe and the tools they employ to maintain connection and cohesion. 

Tess also discusses her meticulous approach to her career, her goals, and the importance of her support network. She's got a unique leadership style that emphasises the importance of collaboration, communication, and self-leadership.

Tess Madgen: The dream of leading the Opals to Gold at the Games

This week's guest granted Luke Darcy a rare interview out of near despair over what is missing in the fight to end the increasing levels of violence against women. The Honourable Will Alstergren is the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court, appointments that place him at the coalface of family and gender based violence in Australia. The statistics on violence against women in Australia are nothing short of disgraceful.

- 13 women a day are hospitalised each day because of the injuries they receive from violent men.

- A woman is killed every nine days by a current or former partner. 49 have been murdered to date in 2024.

- One in three women have experienced violence since the age of 25.

- Young women aged between 18 to 24 at twice as likely as the general population to experience sexual harassment.
