This one was a bloody ripper. I sat down with the legendary Essendon ruckman, Simon Madden - business coach, speaker, and all-round top bloke, and as expected, we covered a hell of a lot more than just footy.

We talked about aging without getting old, the art of staying relevant, and what it means to still be growing, pushing, and learning well into your sixties. We shared stories on failure, grit, and the sneaky little power of the word 'yet'. We unpacked identity, purpose after retirement, and why so many people lose themselves when the jersey (or job title) comes off.

Simon dropped gold on truth-telling in a world full of noise, the role of care in leadership, and how real resilience isn’t just about bouncing back – it’s about learning to take the hit, then getting up and doing it all again (preferably with a sense of humour and a glass of trusty h2o).

Whether you’re a sports tragic, a business owner, or just someone navigating your own “what’s next?” moment, this one’s full of laughs, reflections, and a whole lot of gold.

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.
