Alright, crew! (see what I did there) Buckle up because today we’re taking off (in a sense) with fighter pilot, leadership powerhouse, and high-performance expert Waldo Waldman.

This guy has racked up nearly 3,000 flying hours in the cockpit, dodged missiles over Iraq, and spent eight years battling his own mind while flying at 35,000 feet. Panic attacks, fear, and all the fun stuff. We’re talking resilience, courage, and what it really takes to push through when every fiber of your being is screaming at you to quit. From the skies to the boxing ring, we unpack why some people thrive under pressure while others crumble, and why the 'never fly solo' philosophy applies to every high-stakes arena, be it combat, business, or life. Waldo brings the fire, the wisdom, and a few epic life lessons!

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.
Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.

Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:

What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?

We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.

We’re built to break.
And we become dangerous by design.
Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.

Mate… this conversation with Mel lit me up. She is a walking spark plug, a human espresso shot, the Energiser Bunny with better lipstick. I knew she had a big story but holy hell, sitting across from her and hearing the layers, the grit, the heartbreak, the humour, the joy… it hit different.

We talked about growing up in chaos, carrying responsibilities no kid should ever carry, and somehow finding a way to build compassion instead of bitterness. We talked about addiction, foster care, cutting hair for people who literally have nothing, prison programs, walking the streets with zero fear and an ocean of heart. Mel shares stories that'll crack you open and stories that'll stitch you back together two minutes later.

This one is humanity on full display. Messy. Beautiful. Wild. Real.
Mel is our real life Wonder Woman who shows us who we could be if we actually saw each other.

 Wonder Woman of the Streets: Haircuts, Heartbreak & Radical Humanity | Mel Alsemgeest - 970

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/aa7d6d9c-7080-420d-b50a-b3a10085d6c1/transcript

Today I sat down with the absolute pocket rocket that is Heidi Horne and we went everywhere from kids having meltdowns to middle aged women building apps and writing books. Heidi is an author, speaker, coach and mum who has spent years teaching everyone from tiny humans to stressed out adults how to actually reset, not just talk about it.

We talk about why kids are basically little mirrors for our own emotional tantrums, how easily they love, how quickly they connect, and how much we shut that down once we grow up and get 'sensible'. Heidi shares how she’s gone from tour guiding around the world to teaching meditation, building her One Minute Reset app, writing her second book and throwing herself into founder land at 50 with a bunch of cool tech kids.

We jam on energy, friendships, shiny object syndrome, being 'addicted to busy', why boundaries are a spiritual practice, and what happens when you finally start backing yourself 100 percent instead of chasing crumbs. There is imposter syndrome, there is sport, there is hockey with teenage boys, there is a lot of laughing and a fair bit of truth.

If you need practical ways to stress less, reset fast and find your childlike spark again, this one will land.

Energy, Friendships and Letting Go | Heidi Horne - 969

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/e0172dd0-2e68-4b3e-9c84-b3a10085cdec/transcript

Holy moly, this convo with Dr Libby lit me up like a kid on red cordial. Every time she’s on the show I swear my brain grows three sizes and suddenly wants to eat more iron. We covered everything from perimenopause mayhem to the way adrenaline hijacks our days, to why half of us are out here living like exhausted, over-stimulated, iron-deficient potatoes. And honestly, Libby is so bloody good at weaving science with soul (#SeeWhatIDidThere) that I find myself wanting to text every woman I know and go “hey babe, get your ferritin checked.”

We talked about winter blues, our fried nervous systems, the addiction to being ‘fine,’ the privilege of being alive, and the tiny practices that actually change our chemistry. It was deep, honest, hilarious, and wildly grounding.

If you want less chaos, more energy, a calmer brain and a reminder you’re not broken... this one’s a must-listen.
