This special bonus episode comes to you live from COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where Kal Glanznig and I are on the ground representing Blue Minds, Surfers for Climate and The Good Human Factory. After more than fifty hours of travel to get here, it has been incredibly inspiring to immerse ourselves in the global climate movement and witness so many passionate leaders working together for the future of our planet.
This episode is split into three parts to give you a real behind the scenes look at what COP is, why we are here and the powerful conversations happening inside the Australian Pavilion.
We kick things off by breaking down what COP actually is, the scale of this global climate conference and why bringing climate and mental health voices together is so important. We share our intentions for being here with Surfers for Climate and how this experience is shaping our perspective on community, responsibility and the urgent need for action.
You will then hear our live podcast recorded inside the Australian Pavilion featuring powerful voices from across the Pacific and the world.
Our guests include:
Together, we discuss youth leadership, climate justice, cultural resilience and what it means for communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. It is raw, hopeful and a reminder of why these conversations matter so much.
To finish, Kal sits down with Argentinian climate leader Nikki Becker @nickibecker for a powerful one on one chat about activism, lived experience and the role of young people in shaping a better future.
This episode captures the energy, urgency and unity we have felt here at COP30 and we hope it inspires you as much as these conversations have inspired us.
If you enjoy this episode, please share it with a friend and help spread these important voices.
A special thanks to Surfers for Climate - @surfersforclimate and RACQ @racqofficial for helping us get over here to learn these vital lessons :)

This week I sit down with Bonnie Killip, a clinical hypnotherapist, eating disorder recovery consultant, and author of Ready, Now.
Bonnie opens up about her 15-year battle with an eating disorder, and how discovering hypnotherapy completely transformed her life. After years of trying everything from traditional therapy to strict diets, she found true healing when she started working on her subconscious mind.
We chat about her journey from self-punishment to self-understanding, how hypnotherapy helped her rewire her thoughts around food and body image, and how she now supports others to do the same through her business Fuelling Success.

This week on the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Mikel Nyholt — a high-performing executive at Usher Group, where he leads sales, marketing, and culture for a $100M+ business employing over 500 people. But behind his professional success lies an incredible story of burnout, resilience, and self-healing that will leave you inspired.
In his late 20s, Mikel’s life came crashing down. After years of pushing himself to the edge in business, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — told he’d need constant care, and even lost vision in one eye. But instead of accepting the bleak prognosis, Mikel chose a different path.
He turned inward, exploring the power of breathwork, mindset, and holistic healing, and seven years later his doctors are still blown away by his recovery and vitality.
In this powerful episode, we dive into:
✅ The personal and professional burnout that led to his MS diagnosis
✅ The moment he decided to take ownership of his healing journey
✅ How breathwork and nervous system regulation changed everything
✅ The role of purpose, balance, and mindset in sustainable success
✅ What he’s learned about leadership, health, and being truly alive
Mikel’s story is a masterclass in self-awareness and the courage to challenge conventional thinking. From corporate burnout to deep healing, his journey shows what’s possible when we stop living on autopilot and start taking responsibility for our wellbeing.

This week on the Good Humans Podcast I sit down with Belle Brockhoff — a trailblazer in Australian snowboarding and one of the toughest athletes I’ve ever met.
Belle has represented Australia at three Winter Olympics (Sochi 2014, PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022) and came agonisingly close to a medal, finishing 4th in Beijing. We dive deep into what it takes to reach the top of such a demanding sport, and the heartbreak of being just shy of the podium after years of sacrifice.
She opens up about the struggles with injuries that tested her resilience, and the importance of mental health in navigating the highs and lows of elite sport. Belle’s story is not only one of athletic achievement, but also of courage, vulnerability, and perspective.
In this episode we explore:
Belle’s honesty and grit will leave you inspired to chase your own goals and care for your mental health along the way.

This week on the Good Humans Podcast I sit down with Hugo Toovey — an Australian Army Major, cancer survivor, devoted husband, and proud dad.
Hugo’s story is nothing short of remarkable. Before the age of 30, he faced and survived both testicular cancer and bowel cancer, enduring countless surgeries and challenges that would have broken many. Yet through it all, Hugo has become a voice of hope, resilience, and proactive health.
He founded 25 Stay Alive, a charity dedicated to encouraging young people to prioritise their health and get regular checks — proving that cancer and serious illness don’t just happen “later in life.” Alongside his incredible wife and their young son, Hugo continues to live with courage and purpose, inspiring thousands to take responsibility for their wellbeing.
In this conversation we explore:
Hugo’s journey is a true testament to the power of the human spirit. His honesty and determination will leave you inspired to look after yourself — and never take life for granted.

This week on the Good Humans Podcast I sit down with Dr Anthea Todd — a Doctor of Physiotherapy, educator, and author who has become a leading voice in women’s health and holistic wellbeing.
You might know Anthea from her viral social media videos where she shares health tips while rolling on a skateboard, but behind the creative delivery is a wealth of knowledge grounded in years of study and practice. Anthea has just released her debut book, distilling everything she’s learned into a practical guide for better health.
In this episode we dive into her four fundamentals of health — nervous system, metabolism, nutrients, and blood sugars — and why getting these basics right can completely change the way you feel day to day.
We also explore her personal journey into physiotherapy, how she grew a powerful platform by making health education fun and accessible, and what it’s been like stepping into the world of authorship.
In this episode we chat about:
This conversation is packed with science, practical advice, and inspiring personal stories. Anthea’s approach makes health simple, clear, and achievable — you’ll leave this episode with tools you can start applying straight away.
