    #249 Tom & Kell Reese — The Story Behind The @Reesebros

    This week I sat down with two of my good mates, Tom and Kell Reese, aka The Reese Bros. They are two of the biggest content creators in Australia and two of the funniest blokes going around, and it was really nice to go deep with them on this one. We go right back to the start. Growing up in Evans Head, struggling at school but finding their feet on a chess board, and what it actually felt like for Tom to make and lose a million dollars in crypto before he turned twenty. They get honest about the early days of social media too. The cringe of posting when no one was watching, the judgement that came with putting themselves out there, and what it really takes to back yourself when not everyone is on your side. And underneath all of it, the thing that has held them together the whole way through. Brotherhood. This one will leave you smiling, thinking, and probably ringing your brother. In this episode we cover: Growing up in Evans HeadStruggling at school but being good at chessTom making and losing a million in crypto before twentyThe early days of social media and being judgedTheir growth and the importance of brotherhood Follow The Reese Bros YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@reesebrosYT Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reesebros/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@reesebros — Connect with Cooper and TGHF Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_ 1% Good Club Book (use code PODCAST for 25% off) https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/products/1-good-club-book LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/ Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEH The Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/ The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com THE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

    For this special Mother's Day episode, I'm joined by the woman who started it all — my mum, Alyson Chapman. This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had on the show, and one I'll treasure forever. We sit down and chat about her upbringing, the story of how she met my dad, what it was like becoming a mum for the first time, and the beautiful chaos of raising four kids. Mum shares what it was like travelling the world with me throughout my surfing career, the highs and the hard moments, and how proud she is of all of her kids and the people we've become. We also talk about one of her newest and most special chapters — becoming a grandma — and what that's added to her life. Whether you're a mum, have a mum, or are about to become one, this episode is a beautiful reminder of the love, sacrifice and quiet strength that mothers pour into their families every single day. In this episode we cover: Mum's upbringing and the values she carried into motherhoodThe story of how she met DadBecoming a mum for the first timeRaising four kids and what she learnt along the wayTravelling the world with me throughout my surfing careerThe proud moments watching her kids grow into adultsBecoming a grandma and how special that chapter has beenHer advice to other mums and what she'd tell her younger self Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mums, grandmas, stepmums and mother figures out there.

    #247 Filipe Toledo — Mental Health, Family, Faith & Winning Two WSL World Titles

    Two-time WSL World Champion Filipe Toledo joins me for one of the most powerful and personal conversations I've had on the show. Filipe opens up about the mental health battle behind his decision to step away from the tour in 2024, the weight of winning back-to-back world titles, his deep faith in God, family, the Olympics, and so much more. Filipe shares the story of his darkest period back in 2020 — the moment he sought professional help and started therapy — and how that decision laid the foundation for the comeback that saw him win two world titles in 2022 and 2023. This is Filipe like you've never heard him before: raw, honest, and reflective on what it really takes to ask for help, walk away when you're at the top, and find your way back. In this episode we cover: Growing up in Ubatuba and the move to San ClementeHis darkest moments in 2020 and the decision to seek professional help The pressure of chasing (and winning) world titlesWhy he stepped away from the CT in 2024The role of faith in God through his highest and lowest momentsFamily, fatherhood, and staying groundedFinding joy in surfing againLessons from his father and lifelong coach, RicardoWhat legacy means to him now A must-listen for anyone who's ever felt the weight of expectation, struggled in silence, or wondered what's on the other side of asking for help. If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a friend who you think it will help. You never know whose day — or life — it might change. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life. You're not alone.

    #246 Frankie Johnston — The 17-Year-Old Reminding Us All That Manners Matter

    Frankie Johnston is a 17-year-old high school student who is already making a powerful impact across Australia. As the founder of the Manners Matter Initiative, Frankie is leading a movement encouraging young people to bring kindness, respect, and better behaviour back into everyday life, both online and offline. What started as a simple idea has quickly grown into a nationally recognised initiative, with Frankie sharing her message on Sky News, The Daily Telegraph, and The Today Show. But this episode is about more than just media attention. It’s about why this matters. We dive into the moment that inspired Frankie to take action, what she’s seeing firsthand in schools and among young people, and why she believes small shifts in behaviour can create a huge ripple effect on mental health and community. We also have an honest conversation around social media, including whether there should be stronger boundaries or bans for young people, and how platforms are shaping the way we communicate and treat each other. We talk about my role coming on as an ambassador for Manners Matter, what the initiative stands for, and how each of us can play a part in creating a more respectful and connected world. In this episode we cover: Frankie’s story and the moment she decided to start the Manners Matter InitiativeWhat she’s seeing in schools and why kindness and respect are more important than everHow small actions and better manners can create a ripple effect in communitiesThe impact of social media on young people and the case for stronger boundariesThe conversations around banning social media for younger generationsWhat Manners Matter is doing right now and the vision for the futureHow I got involved as an ambassador and why I believe in the missionSimple ways you can get involved and be part of the movement Connect with Frankie: https://themmi.com.au/ Enjoyed this episode?

    #245 Brianna Throssell — What It Really Takes to Win Olympic Gold and Build a Life After Sport

    Brianna Throssell is one of Australia's greatest ever swimmers. A three-time Olympian, two-time Olympic gold medallist, and Western Australia's most decorated Olympic swimmer, Brianna spent 12 years at the elite level representing the green and gold across three Olympic Games, six World Championships, and two Commonwealth Games. But this episode is about so much more than medals. We dive into what it actually takes to build an Olympic career over more than a decade, the culture behind why Australian swimming produces world-beaters year after year, and what it feels like to finally stand on top of the podium after years of being the ultimate team player. Brianna was famously described as the "unsung hero" of the Australian swim team, and in this conversation you will understand exactly why that label both fits and undersells her. We also talk about what happens when the pool is no longer your whole identity. After retiring in March 2025, Brianna has joined Deloitte's Mergers and Acquisitions team through their athlete program, and she opens up about what that transition has really looked like, the lessons elite sport gives you that no business degree can, and how she is channelling a lifetime of discipline and teamwork into a brand new chapter. In this episode we cover: Brianna's journey from Subiaco to three Olympic Games and two gold medalsWhat it was like to go from relay workhorse to Olympic champion in Tokyo and ParisWhy Australian swimmers are consistently among the best in the worldWhat it means to be a team player at the highest level and why that is its own kind of excellenceThe emotional reality of retiring from a sport that has been your whole lifeHow the Deloitte athlete program works and what drew Brianna to itThe skills elite athletes bring to the corporate world that money can't buyWhat she knows now about resilience, identity, and starting over Connect with Brianna: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/briannathrossell Enjoyed this episode?
