Episode 2: Ed Barlow

It was never on Ed Barlow’s radar to become a psychologist. But his time as an AFL player dealing with injuries, feedback, non-selection and more, led him down the path to better understand himself, and in turn sparked a love in helping others do the same. From professional athletes and sporting organisations to juveniles in detention Ed is passionate to see everyone mentally manage the best they can through the ups and the downs of life. And his life hasn’t been without its challenges, growing up on the south coast of New South Wales, his family home was lost in a fire, taking with it many memories and mementos. Now at peace with what happened then, Ed embraces life, family, sport and his very special furry best friend, who barely leaves his side.

We are all collectors by nature, holding onto things that are important to us throughout life. Some may have a deep significance, others might be trivial or reveal a hidden talent, but all have a special meaning behind or within them that reflect where we have been, who we are now and who we will become.



This is the essence of TWO AM I – an adventure of stories, told through the lens of two personal items. 



Each episode hosts Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry chat to extraordinary people about their two special items, their climb of the mountain – and the ups and downs of life – to learn how those moments have shaped who each person really is.



Why TWO AM I?

Two hosts: a shared experience.

One guest: and their two special items.

TWO AM I – Who AM I: honest and real conversations about the big questions in life.

Episode 9: Jack Riewoldt & Shane McCurry

They first met at a café in Richmond in Melbourne, and Jack and Shane admit, it was ‘connection at first sight’. The pair realised straight away that they shared a passion for leadership, growth and a fascination for people and their stories. What began as a professional relationship at the Richmond Football Club, turned into a friendship and partnership co-hosting TWO AM I. And in this final episode of Season 4, Jack and Shane reflect on their guests over the past eight episodes, and what they learned from each; from how to embrace your inner child, to believing in yourself and others, and how to breathe through the tough stuff.

Episode 8: Tansel Ali

Tansel Ali used to have a terrible memory. He’d forget people’s names, conversations he’d just had, numbers, and even had difficulties remembering what he just read. It was when he started learning ‘memory techniques’ that he realised his memory wasn’t bad, it was just untrained. Tansel was in his early 20s when he discovered memory training, at the same time he learned he needed serious stomach surgery, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. So while he recovered in hospital he put his mind to work. Since then, Tansel has been crowned four-time Australian Memory Sports Champion, memorised two Yellow Pages phone books, authored two books, created educational initiatives for schools and helped people with dyslexia, ADHD, as well as high performance athletes, keynote speakers and corporate leaders.



**We would like to say an extra special thank you to Tansel for recording this episode with us just a few days after his Dad had passed away, we so appreciated his willingness to sit down and chat and be so open. Our condolences to Tansel and his family**

Episode 7: Penelope Jordan

A bike rave,Korean BBQ, bouldering and pole dancing are just a handful of new things the First Timers Club has tried, since kicking off in January 2024. And Penelope Jordan couldn’t be more thrilled that her idea for a club for curious grown-ups looking to connect with others, has taken off. The genesis for FTC came after she returned from a stint overseas and following Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns, when she and her friend Rosie held their first activity when it was just the two of them. But the popularity has grown, where complete strangers come together to do a thing, realising the ‘first time’ isn’t necessarily about the activity, but rather getting past the fear and anxiety of showing up in the first place.
