All Skin in the Game | Dean Clifford - 1012

Here's a bloke who was told he’d have a couple of years to live… and he’s now in his 40s, travelling the world, speaking, and might I add... bench pressing 150 kilos!!  But here’s the thing… his skin literally tears just from movement. Like… existing is enough to cause damage. So, everything he do…

The Invisible Rules Running Your Life | Tiff Cook - 1011

This one wasn’t planned… I woke up ready to record with Stephen Jenkinson… only to realise I’d stuffed the days. So instead of wasting a perfectly fired-up brain, I jumped on the mic and went for a wander through something that’s been quietly running the show in the background… the rules we make fo…

You Can’t Outrun Chronic Pain | Don Gillies - 1010

This is an episode with Don Gillies I recorded for the Conversations With Code 9 Podcast which I, of course, love to share with you legends on this show too.  We kicked off chatting about his time in Victoria Police initially followed by 37 years as a paramedic… and the reality of what that kind o…

Staying Kind in an Unkind World | Kate Baker - 1009

Kate spent 24 years as a NSW police officer, right in the thick of trauma, chaos, and humanity at its messiest. And instead of hardening into someone cold or shut down… she made a conscious decision to stay kind.  We got into trauma, coping, why so many people in high stress roles lose themselves,…

We’re All Becoming Refugees | Ali Ahmadi - 1008

I met Ali at the Global Speakers Summit this year… within about five minutes I knew we were going to get along like a house on fire (mainly because he called me ‘jacked’… instant favourite human). But then he started sharing what life was actually like growing up as a refugee… and I knew straight …

Born Different | Steven Bouris - 1007

Steven Bouris grew up 'different'. He grew up with a visible birthmark covering a large part of his face and head. And get this… no one really talked about it. Not strangers, not family, not even him. For over 40 years. So, what happens when the thing everyone can see becomes the thing no one spea…

You Don’t Need a Knockout to Do Damage | Professor Al Pearce - 1006

Well, as an athlete (especially a boxer) this one sure hits a bit close to home… and I don’t just mean physically. I sat down with Professor Alan Pearce and we got right into the stuff most athletes don’t really want to look at too closely. Concussion, CTE, brain health, and what actually happens …

You’re Part of the Mess | Mark LeBusque - 1005

I might start calling him 'No-Bullsh*t LeBusque'... Mark's back for a chat and we went straight into the messy middle of self-awareness. Where you realise you’re actually part of the problem. You know, the moment where you sit there reading your own behaviour back at yourself and go… “well, sh*t.” …

Meet The Policy Pig | Salli Cohen - 1004

I went in thinking we’d have a cheeky yarn about policy (yep, a very un-Tiff-like topic, I know)… and instead got my brain flipped inside out. Salli (The Policy Pig... and what a cracking title that is) dragged policy out of the dusty, boring corner we all shove it in… and made it personal. Like, …

"Don't Tell Me I Can't" | Mick Marshall - 1003

Sometimes within seconds of 'meeting' someone on the show I realise I'm going to have an absolute ball for the next hour or so... Mick Marshall sure was one of those humans! This bloke fell 120 metres inside a wind turbine, had his legs absolutely wrecked, got rescued by mates who’d barely trained…
