Johannes Egberts was feeling numb and lost in life when he unexpectedly discovered the power of breath and benefits of cold water plunging. 

Since that discovery over ten years ago, he has made this his life's work and is a world-class breathwork and cold water immersion coach. 

Ant chats with Johannes to understand the impact this discovery had on his life, and hear some simple ways we can all experience the benefits of breath and cold water. 

Johannes has just released a book full of his tips and advice, The Cold Therapy Plan. You can find out more at breathlessexpeditions.com.

A parent's instinct is to protect their children from harm, and in a world full of adversity, our kids have never needed resilience more. But wrapping them in cottonwool could be doing more harm than good.

In this episode, former soldier, leadership consultant and resilience expert Tim Curtis shares his own lessons from the battleground and corporate life. He also unpacks the extensive research and advice from childhood experts gone into developing the knowledge and techniques within his latest book 'Building Resilient Kids'.

How To Raise Resilient Children with Tim Curtis

Peter Baines spent years as part of the New South Wales police force investigating some of the state's most horrific crimes and collecting and analysing the forensic evidence to convict the perpetrators. After helping with the recovery and investigation of the Bali bombings in 2002, Peter was tapped to assist when a devastating tsunami struck Thailand on Boxing Day, 2004.

In this raw and candid conversation, Peter details the heartbreaking aftermath of major natural disaster, as he and his team were tasked with identifying thousands of bodies left in the tsunami's wake. The devastation he witnesses prompted Peter to start a charity to help the disadvantaged children of Thailand, recently marking the 20th anniversary of his efforts by running 1,400 kilometres across Thailand.

Saya Sakakibara and her brother Kai grew up competing in BMX racing, starting when her family moved to Japan. When they relocated back to Sydney, the pair quickly rose through the ranks, winning a slew of state and national titles between them. No stranger to accidents while competing, Saya had suffered a number of concussions herself before Kai was involved in a serious accident in 2020. It left him with a life-changing traumatic brain injury, and Saya with a crippling fear of getting back on the bike.

In this episode, Saya details the strong bond she and Kai formed through BMX, how her fear of competing grew over the years and how she found a renewed passion and purpose to return to competition, winning Gold at the Paris Olympic Games and becoming World Champion three years running.
