  • When the fervour of professional Rugby Union fades into the quiet intensity of fatherhood, a man’s search for identity takes on a whole new playing field. Join me and my guest, Austin Smith, as we explore the profound shifts in life that come with trading stadiums for the living room and legacy for lullabies. Austin, a former professional athlete turned exercise physiologist, opens up about the personal challenges he faced in the pursuit of inner fulfilment, sharing insights that resonate with anyone who has ever grappled with the weight of external expectations.

    I originally asked Austin to be a guest on the show so I could tap into his exercise physiology expertise; injury re-hab, diet, and all things health and wellbeing to support skateboarding endeavours. However, instead, our dialogue traverses the diverse landscape of relationships and personal development, where Austin and I exchange tales of romance, the trials of parenting, and the quest for purpose beyond the scoreboard. This episode is a testament to the power that candid, supportive conversations can have in steering us toward our better selves.

    As we wrap up our time together, Austin and I reflect on the broader implications of our journeys, from the philosophical quandaries of parenting in modern society to the ethical conundrums posed by advancing technology. The future is complex and often daunting, but it's the community and the support we offer each other that lightens the load. Tune in for an episode that goes beyond the surface, inspiring you to embrace the challenge, confront the unknown, and appreciate the intricate dance of life's pursuits.

  • When I sat down with Kane Horsepool, the artist also known as Trait, we didn't just talk art; we ventured into the depths of personal growth, the struggle for authenticity, and the profound effects of integrating one's deepest values with creative pursuits. Kane’s candid reflections on mental health, his commitment to being a present husband and father, and his artistic process offer a stark view into the life of someone balancing the rigors of full-time work with an unquenchable need to create. His upcoming show at the Bad News Gallery in Wollongong promises to be a true manifestation of an artist who is letting go…so they can grow.

    We reminisce about formative influences, the sustenance we draw from passions like skateboarding, and the importance of local culture and grassroots environmental efforts. There’s links to the emotional growth that comes from confronting challenges head-on, and the unapologetic truth that one's well-being is paramount to creative success.

    Kane shines a light on the transformative power of art in all its forms. So join us for a conversation that's as much about the art on the canvas as it is about the art of living a mindful, purposeful life.

    Enjoy,
    Shan

  • At 60, John's tale is one of enduring passion, a chronicle that zigzags the drainage ditches of Blacktown to his personal vert ramp, with detours into the realms of music, friendship, skate shops, and even the glittering world of jewellery. This episode promises a rich tapestry of stories that reveal the heart and soul of skateboarding through generations, whilst inadvertently highlighting the evolution of Australian society and culture as a whole.

    John, with Ti Coleing by our side, reminisces about the makeshift ramps of yesteryear, the groundbreaking tricks that were never documented, and the unforgettable characters who left their mark on and off the board. From Curbs 'n' Copings to skateboarding's grand entrance into the Olympics, we traverse a path laden with nostalgia, innovation, and reflection on how the art-form continues to redefine itself.

    With a skater's soul, John Gray's story isn't just about mastering inverts or running a skate shop—it's about the imprint left on a life well lived and the friendships that are forged for eternity . You'll hear about the joy of grandparenting and how the love for a good roll- be it on a skateboard or behind the wheel of a classic car—can keep the buzz of youth alive in the heart of a 60-year-old legend forever.
    Get Rad.

  • Buckle up for a soul-stirring session as former sponsored skateboarder and current World Skate judge Russell Grundy takes us through a mind-expanding traverse of the skatepark known as life.
    Russell unveils his own version of that profound connection between the skate life and personal growth. We explore the emotional richness of scaling the peaks of elation on tours with the likes of Billabong and Channel V to finding beauty in the troughs of sorrow.
    Russell opens up about his early years on the Central Coast of NSW Australia, the thousands of train rides he did back and forth to Newcastle and Sydney as a teenager, USA adventures, competing on the hallowed grounds of the Tampa Am in Florida USA, opening skate shops, leading community initiatives, his approach to parenting, his innate desire to progress, and much more.
    This isn't your standard skate talk; it's an exploration of Russell's philosophy on staying centered, listening to your heart, and learning from experiences.

    Enjoy,

  • As I sat down with Tim Levinson, the artist known as Urthboy, I felt the anticipation of unearthing the layers that compose the vibrant tapestry of the music industry. The Managing Director of Elefant Traks and a pivotal figure in Australian Hip-Hop, Tim lays bare his artistic journey, from scribbling poetry in the Blue Mountains as a child, to co-founding music collective The Herd. Our exchange traverses the resilience required to navigate post-pandemic challenges and the undying optimism for what lies ahead. Brace yourselves for an enlightening discourse on cultural influences, artistic evolution, and a stark glimpse into the commitment that fuels one's creative fire.

    As always, there is an unraveling of personal threads. We speak to the soul. I dissect the irony of loneliness amidst hyper-connectivity and the sanctity of human bonds solidified through live events. Tim articulates the sculpting influence of family ties and the quest for maintaining artistic integrity. Together, we reflect on the shifting landscapes of personal identity, parenthood, and how these multifaceted relationships mold an artist's life and work.

    Looking to the horizon, Tim and I wade into the future of an industry at the cusp of reinvention, where live music venues grapple with new societal patterns and how cultural tides can impact on the longevity of emerging artists. We wrap up our dialogue with musings on the essence of collaboration in art, the transformative impact of education on growth, and the aspirations to craft a legacy that echoes through mentorship and community enrichment.

  • Join me as I sit down with the remarkably knowledgeable Jim Turvey, skate historian and zine aficionado, for a captivating exploration of the gritty heart of Australian skate culture. In a storytelling tapestry weaved with personal anecdotes and historical threads, Jim takes us on a ride through the pivotal moments of his life, starting with his family's move to Newcastle and leading into the DIY dynamics of skate zine culture that have become the lifeblood of the skateboard community. We tackle the tall poppy syndrome that often shadows success within Australian skateboarding, and delve into the reflective journey of maintaining humility while celebrating the strong bonds and friendships that are as much a part of skateboarding as the boards themselves.

    In a celebration of subcultural print, we trace the evolution of skate zines, those raw, personal leaflets that captured the essence of skateboarding long before mainstream media took notice. Listen as we highlight the journey of Amnesia Skateboards and its transformation from a local zine into a cultural touchpoint, casting hometown skaters into the limelight. The complexities of skate history curation are unpacked, with a sensitive eye on the delicate balance between documenting a community's narrative and honouring those who feel overlooked.

  • When life knocks you down, how do you pull yourself back up? Sid Tapia, the artist and skateboarder with a story that stitches together the fabric of resilience, faith, and creativity knows all about that. Join us as Sid opens up about the nexus of his art and skateboarding, revealing how injuries became his motivation to maintain peak physical condition. His gym routine is not just about building strength but also fortifying his spirit to create murals that resonate deeply with the vitality of athletes and cultural icons. Our conversation is a canvas where Sid's inspiring work ethic blends seamlessly with spiritual beliefs, offering a fresh perspective on the pursuit of sustainable creativity and self-care.

    Ever wondered how an artist juggles the brushes of personal growth, professional prowess, and the ever-demanding family life? This episode is an intimate reflection on balancing the grinds of mural painting with the joys and trials of family life. Sid's narrative is a mosaic of heartfelt moments, from painting murals of the Matildas to navigating life transitions with a strong faith-based anchor. He shares the profound influence of his friendships, the power of laughter, and the grounding force of love in our lives. We examine the delicate dance between self-forgiveness and striving for excellence, all the while drawing strength and guidance from the positive role models who surround us.

    Art, faith, and a skateboarder's spirit – the trilogy that defines Sid Tapia's journey is also a beacon for anyone seeking redemption and meaning in their own story. As we explore the transformative power of belief, Sid and I dissect the challenges and triumphs of sharing one's faith openly, especially within the skateboarding community. This heartfelt episode is a celebration of the human soul's capacity for change, the eternal quest for redemption, and the unshakable bonds of friendship that give color to our lives. Tune in for an episode that isn't just a listen but an experience, inviting you to witness the art of living a life guided by faith and enriched by relationships.

  • The one and only Darren (Rudolph) Stapleton joins myself, and this week's co-host, Ti Coleing for an in-depth exchange about his life so far. A trailblazer of the street skating scene from the late 80s, Darren unpacks his journey from Ho Ho's to guitar riffs, and what it was like to witness the cultural revolution that propelled street skating into the spotlight in the early 90s. Darren outlines his musical endeavours, the evolution of skate tricks, from Saran Wraps, to 360 Judo Airs over the island at Allawah bowl, and how these feats may (or may not have) shaped Australian skateboarding culture.

    It's a heart-to-heart conversation that digs deep into Darren's upbringing, the familial challenges that shaped him, and the undeniable synergy between his twin loves: skateboarding and music.

    As we wrap things up reflecting on the profound impacts of personal health scares, the push towards sobriety, and the transformation of lifestyles in our community. Ti's Coleing's recent brush with a life-threatening medical emergency steers the conversation towards the significance of health, prompting us to consider the long-term ramifications of our choices. Throughout the episode, we contemplate success, tackle the effects of bullying, and muse on the legacies we aspire to leave—whether it's through the legacy of skateboarding or the harmonious chords of a well-loved tune. With nods to skate legends and musical maestros, this episode is a tribute to the passions that drive us and the tales that bind us...

  • Embark on a journey with the enigmatic James McMillan, where we sweat under the Mullumbimby sun, surrounded by the verdure of sprawling cow pastures, and discuss the vibrant world of art, and surfing. James, an artist, author, and the mastermind behind the thriving Byron Bay Surf Festival, delves into life since our last exchange back in 2021 - which I will add - was the most listened to episode of that year.
    We traverse the realms of high vibrations and well-being, riding the waves of serenity, meditation, and the holistic embrace of a good meal—this episode is all about the practices that enrich our souls.

    As we wind through James's studio, we uncover the emotional spectrum of a surfer-artist's life, where creativity surges like the tide. From the restorative power of community in an artists' hub to the intersection of cultural modalities and alternative lifestyles, we're painting a picture of a life far from mundane. Share our reflections on the transformative influence of nature, the art of forgiveness, and the intricate process behind each brushstroke. James's wisdom on embracing diverse cultural practices, the challenges of gentrification, and the future's embrace of unconventional living will leave you contemplating the canvas of your own life.

    Wrap up your listening experience by tuning into our celebration of the artistic spirit. James McMillan, in his element among his fellow craftsmen, offers a glimpse into a close-knit community where ideas flow as freely as paint on canvas. From stories that resonate beyond the art itself to the vibrant synergy of passions, this episode is a kaleidoscope of inspiration that beckons you to question the very definition of 'normal.' Join us for a conversation that's not just about observing life, but actively shaping it with colour, energy, and a few tantric breathes in between.

  • When Jed Smith sat across from me in Byron Bay, the air was thick with stories of transformation and the hum of cicadas. Our conversation swept from the tangible - dietary shifts post-concussion, to the profound - the interplay of meditation and psychedelics on our mental landscapes. Jed, returning for his third candid exchange, peels back the layers of his evolution from a journalist to a podcast co-host, offering a treasure trove of wisdom for those navigating the murky waters of personal well-being and the subtle political undercurrents of our times.

    Our dialogue danced through the realms of spirituality and the rigidity of religious dogmas, touching on Tibetan culture's unexpected complexities and the universal search for inner peace. We wrestle with the teachings of ancient texts and modern-day mystics, like Wim Hof, threading a needle through the fabric of belief and practice. And, as we share tales of the personal impact Joe Rogan's podcast and financial happiness philosophies have left on us, you'll be reminded that the pursuit of contentment comes in many forms - sometimes, even in a block of land in an overlooked neighbourhood.

    Wrapping up, we confronted the stark realities of global power dynamics and the heart-wrenching intricacies of the Israel-Palestine conflict. This is no superficial skim across the surface; instead, it's a plunge into the depths of critical, global conversations and the importance of not shying away from our collective complacency. As Jed and I parted ways, the mood shifted from the weight of the world's woes to the lightness of shared aspirations and the steadfast discipline needed to keep the creative fires burning. Join us on this journey of discovery, packed with emotional insights and thoughtful reflections, that just might provoke a change in the way you engage with the world.

  • I'm stoked to bring you a conversation with Chad Caruso, a dude who embodies what it means to push yourself to the limits. Chad's story is a wild ride from the streets of New York to the Guinness Book of World Records, and he doesn't just tell his story; he inspires us to redefine our own limits.

    This episode has us cruising down memory lane and the vast American landscape with Chad as he recounts his cross-country skating adventure. Dodging traffic, and mastering the art of capturing it all on camera, his tales are a testament to the relentless spirit of a skater. We get real about the injuries, the battles with addiction, and the sobering journey back to the board—a journey that many of us can relate to in our own quests for personal triumph.

    We wrap up with Chad's vision of leaving a legacy. He shares his dreams for his nonprofit and the documentary that might just land him on Netflix, all while offering a candid look at the transformative power of sobriety. This episode isn't just about skateboarding; it's about falling down and getting back up, about the freedom found in four wheels, and about the community we build when we Keep Pushing together. Join us, and let Chad's story spark a fire in your own ride through life.
    Enjoy,
    Shan

  • Last episode for 2023. Steve is back on the show for a second time this year. Checkout our first episode #202. Unlike our first episode (which was an online recording), this week's episode is in real life. En la vida real.

    I asked Steve to write his own bio:

    “I try to see life as a series of experiences that challenge or change me in a positive way. I’m kinda excited about getting older and thinking back to the random and crazy shit that I did. Even the stuff that may have sucked at the time. I’m basically just building up memories of things and people I’ve discovered along the way that hopefully make me a better person.”
    - Steve Tierney 2023

    I'll be back in January 2024.

  • Nathan Keeley will be riding his skateboard, unassisted, over 300 kilometers from Port Macquarie to Newcastle in the name of suicide prevention. Nathan has osteoarthritis in his knees.
    In this week's episode, Nathan shares about his early days growing up, the challenges he faced at home, finding skateboarding as a place of solace, family separation, being separated from his son, his battles with drug and alcohol addiction, the day he hit rock bottom, getting and staying sober, finding love, raising his children, the ongoing issues with his knees, and much more.
    Being on a podcast and speaking publicly was a courageous experience for Nathan. He was understandably nervous; however, his kind soul shines through. Listen in the spirit of empathy, be inspired, and support his cause.

In this week's episode, Marley discusses his part in the skate movie 'Memory Box,' his foray into Paris Olympics qualifying competitions, his connection with Bar Beach Bowl, his affection for the Newcastle skate scene, why he takes pride in his unique style, the significance of authenticity, the self-imposed pressure he faces, his academic pursuits, the admirable qualities of his parents, and much more.

  • A laid-back episode this week, with no interview, just some friendly banter with an old friend, a past guest, a Beatles enthusiast, and a skate aficionado – Mr. Jeremy Rowling.

    Jeremy and I delve into our recent experiences at the Sydney leg of Street League, the Red Bull demos in Sydney, the contenders for Skater of the Year (SOTY), the Rob Pace part in the new Santa Cruz video, David Reyes' "My War," the cyclical trends in skate jeans fashion, the cost of skate decks, Jeremy's firsthand account of the Sir Paul McCartney concert, our skepticism towards AI, and much more.

    Enjoy,

  • Sam Larkins is a sponsored skateboarder hailing from Queensland, Australia, and now residing in Sydney. Sam joins me this week for an in-depth conversation about his life so far. Sam delves into his family's basketball background, his decision to pursue skateboarding, the hurdles his family encountered while establishing an indoor skate park, and his relocation to Sydney in pursuit of his skateboarding passion. He also shares insights into his approach to tricks, strategies for dealing with pressure and fear, and much more.
    This week's co-host is past guest, Ben Currie, and his canine companion Brutus, who happily gnaws on a bone in the background.
    Enjoy,

  • Bobbie Poulton is a former elite CrossFit athlete, former women's national Rugby Union player, entrepreneur, truth seeker, and expectant mother. This week, Bobbie joins me for a face to face chat about her life so far. Bobbie discusses her early years growing-up in rural England, the challenges of growing up in a separated family, her innate desire to travel the world, the profound impact of practicing Vipassana (silent meditations), living in Hong Kong, meeting her now partner, life in Australia, her ongoing healing journey, and much much more. Bobbie possesses somewhat of a noble courage that is undeniably mesmerising. She arrived to the podcast with a fearless willingness to bare her soul.
    It's a moving conversation that goes off on tangents, takes, twists and turns. Sometimes ugly, and confronting, but mostly beautiful and reflective of the human experience we all share.
    So buckle-up. I loved everything about it and you will too.

  • This week Sally Felice (Affleck) joins me for an in-person conversation to share about her life so far. We record at her home in the eastern suburbs of Sydney on a balmy spring evening with the sound of crickets in the background (which I discovered was near impossible to edit out, but it slowly becomes ambient noise). Sally discusses her early life growing up in the northern beaches area of Sydney, the challenges she faced as a child of divorce, finding solace and community in skateboarding, what it was like being the only girl at the skatepark for the first 4 years of her skating life, self-imposed pressure to prove herself to the boys, getting sponsored by Kewday and Billabong, entering skate comps, being one of the first skate coaches in Australia with Mick Mulhall, meeting her non-skater husband, starting a family, balancing career, her love for all sports (specifically soccer) and much much more. There was numerous requests for Sally to be on the show, and rightly so, she busted down the door for women’s skateboarding in Australia and maybe the world.
