Hello! Today I'm joined by Dan Gorringe... one of the most unlikely, funny, and influential figures in Australian sports media.

From being top pick in the AFL draft selection who hated playing, to becoming a tradie and now building the juggernaut media empire that is 'Dan Does Footy', Dan’s journey makes little sense on paper. But behind his phenominal success is a story shaped by anxiety, shyness and a constant battle with imposter syndrome.

Dan Does Footy Live on Thursday of Grand Final week at Margaret Court Arena - You can buy tickets here: https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=DDFPLIVE26

Dan Gorringe: "I Secretly Hated Playing AFL"  & building the Dan Does Footy Empire 

Hello! In this episode, I chat with Jinelle Esther, the first and only Melburnian to make the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad, long before America’s Sweethearts blew up on Netflix.

Jinelle spent 5 seasons with the DCC, and was the star of the original reality show documenting the squad, 'Dallas Cowboys Cheeerleaders: Making the Team'.

Jinelle opens up about the wildly high-pressure world of NFL cheerleading. We talk about navigating stalkers, the brutal training, custom crystal boots, massive Texas hair and the reality of game day behind the scenes.

Jinelle Esther: The Original Aussie Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader ✨

Hello! This week, I'm lucky enough to sit down with the wonderful Mick Fanning. Mick is one of Australia's greatest sporting heroes, but he's a lot more than that. Mick has captured a special place in the hearts of Australians, and people idolise him accross the world. 

He’s a three-time world champion surfer who famously survived a shark attack live on global TV. But behind all the success, Mick has lived through an incredible amount of personal tragedy, losing his father and all three of his brothers.

In this episode, Mick opens up about living with that grief and how he coped through his darkest days. We also chat about his accidental multi-million dollar business moves... from a bottle-opener sandal to building Balter Brewing... and why the moment he punched that shark changed the course of his life forever.

All Heart by Mick Fanning (Simon & Schuster) is available in bookstores and online now.
