I’m William, an 18-year-old from Brisbane on a mission to interview 1,000 people and share the stories, experiences, and perspectives that make each person unique. 1000 Interviews, 1000 Stories started from a simple idea: everyone has a story worth hearing. I talk with people from all walks of life—athletes, business owners, creatives, and everyday people—about their journeys, struggles, ambitions, and lessons. Some conversations are deep, some are funny, and some might change how you see the world. I’m not an expert—just curious about people and what we can learn from each other.

    Ross Lewis: Facing Fear, Connecting Cultures & Choosing Positivity

    Ross Lewis is a creator from Columbus, Ohio, whose journey into content creation started from an unexpected place: fear. After developing phagophobia — a fear of choking and eating — Ross began struggling to eat in public and at one point lost 30–40 pounds. Instead of continuing to avoid that fear, he began making videos at locally owned restaurants, pushing himself outside his comfort zone while sharing the stories of the people and places around him. Since then, his videos have taken him across different countries and cultures, from conversations with an ice cream vendor in Peru to two men painting a church in Puerto Rico. In this interview, Ross and I talk about overcoming fear, spreading positivity, connecting with people from different cultures, his eight years serving in the U.S. Air Force, and the lessons he’s learned from strangers around the world. 1000 interviews, 1000 stories.

    Cassandra Mulo is a business owner, solo mum of three and advocate for the deaf community who was born profoundly deaf.

We talk about identity, mindset, disability, entrepreneurship and what it means to stop letting your circumstances define who you can become. Cassandra's story is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out — sometimes you just need to know who you want to become and start moving towards it. 1000 Interviews, 1000 Stories. 102/1000.

    Angus Dine: More Than Just an Athlete | Interview 101/1000

    At 18 years old, Angus Dine has already spent years chasing success in the 100m and 200m — but his journey has involved far more than just running fast. In this conversation, Angus opens up about the reality behind sprinting: training 10–15 hours a week for a race that can be over in around 10 seconds, dealing with repeated injuries, and the pressure of knowing that one mistake can completely change a season. We also talk about what injuries have taught him, why discipline matters more than motivation, and one of the biggest lessons he’s learned along the way — you are more than your sport. Angus reflects on separating his identity from athletics, finding purpose outside of competition, studying physiotherapy, and using his own experiences to eventually help others. His goal is still to win another national gold and compete internationally, but regardless of where athletics takes him, Angus wants to continue growing as a person and using the lessons he learns to make a difference. This is Angus Dine’s story — about sport, setbacks, discipline, identity, and continuing to move forward. 1000 Interviews. 1000 Stories.
