Mental Health, Money & Marriage | Jordan Kahu Moments Ep. 6

Reuben Cotter didn't think any of this would happen. Two ACLs and three years on the sideline before he'd properly started — now he's not only a State of Origin player but a Wally Lewis Medal winner (Player of the Series) and captain of the Cowboys.

Ahead of Origin tomorrow night, we pulled this part of the podcast we recorded with Reuben back in mid-2024. He talks about how he actually got there, what Billy Slater's camp is really like, the day seven Cowboys got the Origin call at a team dinner, and why he wouldn't change those three years for anything.

Reuben Cotter: Origin & Billy Slater in Camp | Moments Episode #20

Alexi Pappas is an Olympian who holds the Greek national record over 10,000m, an author, poet, filmmaker, and a guide alongside her blind teammate Lisa together running many of the World Marathon Majors. She's spent her whole life refusing to be just one thing.

We talked about why she believes your fears are really just cares, and how she traced all of hers back to one core fear before solving it with a single phone call to three friends. Picturing fear as a passenger in the car you're driving instead of something to outrun. Guiding Lisa through five Boston Marathons, learning to talk through tension in the tether so the conversation could be about feelings instead of left and right, and the time they fell clipped into a tandem bike in traffic while training for their first triathlon. Why she thinks shortcuts are poison, and how you can stand next to someone on a start line and feel whether they earned it. Keeping athlete and artist in separate rooms for years, then seeing her own handwriting on a wall at Boston. And why, after solving that one fear, she feels more fearless than she ever has.

#184 Alexi Pappas: How to Become Fearless & Why Shortcuts Are Poison

The news broke that Jai Arrow has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. 
Jai is one of the toughest blokes I've ever met. Not tough in the way people throw the word around. Tough in the way he plays. The way he carries himself. The way he stands up for the people around him. 

This is our favourite moment from the full episode we did together earlier this year. Jai talks about fatherhood and what really matters in life. 

All our love to Jai and his family.
