    #239 Thomas Herman — The Wakeboarder Who Landed the Impossible Triple Flip

    This week on the Good Humans Podcast I’m joined by professional wakeboarder Thomas Herman, one of the most progressive riders the sport has ever seen. Thomas has been ranked as high as World No. 2 and made history as the first and only wakeboarder to land a triple flip behind a boat. It’s one of those moments that completely changed what people believed was possible in wakeboarding. In this conversation we dive into Thomas’s journey growing up in the US, how he got into wakeboarding, and the mindset it takes to keep pushing the limits of a sport where progression often means attempting tricks no one has ever landed before. We talk about the story behind the triple flip, the pressure of competing at the highest level, and how he manages fear when the consequences of mistakes can be huge. Thomas is someone who truly embodies progression, courage and dedication to his craft, and I loved hearing about the mindset that has allowed him to reach the very top of his sport. In this episode we cover: • Thomas’s journey into professional wakeboarding • What it took to become World No. 2 • The story behind landing the first ever triple flip behind a boat • The mental side of pushing limits in extreme sports • How he handles fear, pressure and progression A powerful conversation about backing yourself, pushing boundaries and chasing what’s possible.

    #238 Elle Halliwell — 48 Hours, Two Life-Changing Discoveries: Cancer and Pregnancy.

    In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with writer, speaker and former lifestyle journalist Elle Halliwell to share one of the most powerful health journeys I’ve ever heard. Elle built a successful career reporting for some of Australia’s biggest publications including Vogue Australia, Marie Claire and The Australian. But in 2016, her life changed forever. In the space of just 48 hours, Elle was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and then discovered she was pregnant with her first child. In this conversation we explore: • Elle’s childhood and early career in radio and journalism • The stress and anxiety she experienced in her 20s while building her career • The moment she discovered she had leukaemia • Finding out she was pregnant just two days after her diagnosis • Navigating cancer treatment while carrying her baby • How she managed her mental health during such an uncertain time • The role organisations like the Leukaemia Foundation play in supporting families facing blood cancer • Living with blood cancer and stepping into motherhood with a completely new perspective on life Elle’s story is one of resilience, courage and finding purpose through life’s most unexpected challenges.

    #237 Rochelle Fox - Becoming Magnetic to Your Dreams Through Meditation

    In this episode of Good Humans, I sit down with meditation teacher and author Rochelle Fox to dive into her new book Magnetic and what it really means to become magnetic to your dreams. Rochelle shares her personal journey, from struggling with anxiety and self-doubt to building a global meditation movement that has impacted millions. We unpack how meditation is not about escaping your life, but about becoming more present, more powerful, and more aligned with who you truly are. We speak about: The real reason so many people struggle to meditateHow to become a better meditator without needing to be perfectThe science behind consistency and rewiring your identityWhat it means to be “magnetic” and how energy influences opportunityHow to align your thoughts, habits and emotions with the life you wantPractical tools from her book Magnetic you can start using today Rochelle explains that magnetism is not about chasing or forcing outcomes. It is about becoming the version of you who naturally attracts the opportunities, relationships and experiences that align with your highest self. This conversation is a powerful reminder that meditation is not about sitting still for hours. It is about training your mind, regulating your nervous system and choosing who you want to become, one day at a time. If you have ever struggled to stay consistent with meditation, or if you want to feel more aligned and intentional in the way you live, this episode will give you practical tools and a fresh perspective.

    #236 Josh Levey — One month. 7,000 Waves. $100,000 Raised. One Big Purpose.

    In this episode I’m joined by Newcastle surfer Josh Levey, who set himself a challenge that sounds almost impossible… surf 7,000 waves in one month. But this wasn’t about records or attention. It was about purpose. Josh took on the challenge to raise money and awareness for Soul Hub, a local homelessness charity supporting people doing it tough in his community. By the end of the month he’d raised over $100,000 and inspired thousands of people along the way. We talk about his upbringing and relationship with the ocean, the moment he realised he wanted to use surfing for something bigger than himself, and how a simple idea turned into a movement. Josh also opens up about the reality behind the highlight reel. The exhaustion, injuries, mental battles, early mornings, cold water, and the discipline it took to keep showing up every single day. What stood out most was how purpose can carry you further than motivation ever will. We finish by chatting about what the experience taught him about gratitude, perspective and community, and where he wants to take this impact next. This is a conversation about using what you love to help others, pushing your limits for a meaningful reason, and how one person’s commitment can ripple through an entire community. In this episode we cover: • Why Josh decided to surf 7,000 waves in 30 days • The link between purpose and mental resilience • The toughest physical and mental moments of the challenge • What he learned about homelessness through Soul Hub • The power of community support and accountability • What comes next after achieving something this big If you’ve ever wondered how small daily actions can turn into real impact, you’ll love this one.

    #235 Nigel Beach — Simple Home Changes That Help You Feel Calm Again.

    In this episode I’m joined by Nigel Beach and we explore how much our environment shapes our mental state. We often try to think our way into feeling better, but our nervous system responds first to what we sense. Light, temperature, hydration, and contact with nature all send signals to the body about whether we are safe or under threat. When we change those inputs, our state naturally follows. This conversation is full of simple, practical ideas you can apply straight away at home. Nothing extreme, just small adjustments that help your body spend more time calm, clear and present. We talk about hydration and how H2O affects energy and mood, why modern lighting can keep the brain alert at the wrong times, and how sauna and cold exposure build resilience rather than stress. We also dive into grounding and why reconnecting to natural signals helps regulate the nervous system. The big message from this episode is that regulation is not only a mindset practice. It is something we can design into our daily life. In this episode we cover: • What nervous system regulation actually feels like day to day • How your home can either support recovery or keep you wired • The impact of hydration on focus, mood and energy • Lighting habits that improve sleep and recovery • Sauna and cold exposure as resilience training for the body • Grounding and reconnecting to nature • Small environmental changes that create lasting calm If you enjoy this episode, share it with someone who would benefit and let us know your biggest takeaway 💛 Follow Nigel INSTAGRAM Send @thegoodhumanfactory a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :) 1% Good Club Book!!
