Some stories in sport aren’t defined by statistics, trophies, or highlight reels, they’re defined by courage. Jemma Barsby’s is one of them.
From the chaos of WBBL travel weeks to the pressure of being a veteran in a league she helped build, Jemma has lived every phase of women’s cricket.
But behind the professionalism, the rivalries, and the big-game moments is something far more personal, her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis, and the decision to turn that private fight into a national conversation.
In this episode, Chris Titley sits down with Jemma for a raw and generous chat about leadership, resilience, and rediscovering joy in sport. She shares how nerves feel different at 30 than they did at 15, why “little whippersnappers” keep her sharp, and how stretching, the habit she used to ignore, has become a cornerstone of her career longevity.
Jemma also reflects on the rise of the WBBL, the surreal jump from empty stadiums to packed venues, and the unique responsibility of being a role model to the next generation. She unpacks the emotional toll of online scrutiny, the importance of supportive voices after a tough day, and the grounding influence of her family and teammates.
The heart of the episode centres on Whack MS for 6 https://www.mycause.com.au/page/385730/whack-ms-for-6, her campaign to raise awareness and $6 million for MS research.
She candidly explains the hidden reality of MS, the courage it took to speak publicly, and why she believes sport can be a platform for change.

Before Bronte Campbell dives into any topic - swimming, business, identity, she brings something you don’t always expect from a four-time Olympian: clarity. And a rare willingness to unpack the why behind everything she’s learned.
In this thoughtful conversation with Chris Titley, Bronte reflects on a surreal year outside the pool, no rigid training blocks, no race calendar, no season markers. Instead, she’s been building Earthletica, her sustainable activewear company, navigating the chaos of startup life, and rediscovering who she is beyond the black line.
She shares how elite swimmers balance fierce individuality with team unity, why culture matters even in a sport measured by milliseconds, and how her own leadership style developed through years of representing Australia. Bronte opens up about redefining goals after a nerve injury, shifting from granular process to big-picture identity, and learning to build structure in business the same way she built it in sport.
The episode dives into the emotional journey of Olympic highs and lows, the complexity of having a sister in the same sport, and the challenges of transitioning into a new chapter, while leaving the door to LA 2028 slightly open.
Her “scoreboard moment” - touching second at trials in 2012 and becoming an Olympian, remains the clearest memory of her life.
And her passion for pushing sustainability forward in activewear shows a fierce new competitive drive.

Most careers build slowly. Benji Floros’ took a sharp turn — not once, but twice.
One year he’s working full-time in a BDM role, the next he’s nearly walking away from cricket altogether. Then a phone call changes everything.
In this powerful conversation with Chris Titley, Benji tells the story of almost quitting the sport he’d dedicated his life too, and the unexpected opportunity that pulled him back in.
From the belief of mentor Luke Feldman, to a flat Second XI pitch at Junction Oval, to the surprise call-up for a Sheffield Shield match, Benji opens up on how quickly momentum can shift when you refuse to give up on yourself.
He shares the truth behind life as a bowler in the modern game: the mental load of four-day cricket, adapting to T20’s “baseball-style” aggression, and learning to back your plans even when they’re being hit 120 metres back over your head. Benji also dives into mateship inside the Queensland squad, rediscovering his love for cricket at Valley District Cricket Club, and how gratitude, not pressure is driving him at age 27.
They explore his “scoreboard moment,” the sting of missing ACT U19 selection, and how that disappointment lit the fire that still burns today. And with his recent Prime Minister’s XI selection, Benji reflects on what it means to go home, represent Canberra, and chase the baggy green with renewed belief.

Jockey Emily Lang joins Chris Titley for her first-ever podcast — a candid look at the life, pressure, and discipline behind one of the toughest jobs in sport. From 3:30 a.m. starts and 10-horse trackwork mornings to riding in high-stakes races, Emily breaks down the preparation, mindset, and sacrifices that most people never see.
She talks about handling nerves in the barriers, navigating the realities of weight management, and the strategy that separates good jockeys from great ones. Emily also opens up about being a young woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, building resilience against criticism, and why preparation and confidence matter more than anything in the saddle.
With honesty and clarity, she reflects on her biggest career win so far, the mentors who helped shape her, and the “keep showing up” attitude that anchors her during quiet runs. The episode also explores the rise of female riders, the role of social media, and the extreme demands of racing’s year-round calendar.
Bright, disciplined, and grounded — Emily shows the mindset of an athlete determined to keep rising.

Queensland batter Lachie Hearn joins Chris Titley after a thrilling Shield match in Perth — and a year where he’s found form, confidence, and a genuine love for the grind. From being labelled “lazy” because of his relaxed demeanour to scoring his maiden Shield hundred, Lachie shares the journey of proving himself in state cricket.
He speaks about the transition from New South Wales to Queensland, the gamble of moving states with no guarantees, and the season of club cricket at Toombul that changed everything. Lachie opens up about learning to trust himself, managing nerves, embracing patience, and understanding that failures are part of the game.
He talks through his batting mindset — the first 30 balls, backing his strengths, understanding tactical awareness, and why facing world-class bowlers in the nets is the fastest way to grow. Lachie also shares insights on fun as a performance lever, working with Queensland’s sports psychologist, and how confidence comes from preparation, not luck.

NRL forward Ethan Bullemor sits down with Chris Titley for a thoughtful conversation on ambition, growth, and navigating the highs and lows of professional sport. Fresh into preseason, Ethan reflects on a mixed 2025 — personal improvement, professional disappointment, and the drive to take Manly back to finals contention.
He opens up about the emotional turbulence of elite rugby league: the pressure of performance, being dropped, dealing with criticism, and the impact that scrutiny has on parents and family. Ethan shares how his maturity, routine, and self-awareness have evolved — and why direct feedback, even when brutal, is necessary for growth.
Off the field, he speaks about his second passion: equity markets. Ethan explains how studying finance shaped his identity beyond footy, how he balances two demanding careers, and what he’s learned from working with some of Australia’s top fund managers at Regal.
They dive into leadership, the changing role of modern forwards, goal-setting, and the scoreboard moment that changed his life at age 15 — a scholarship to Nudgee College that opened doors he never imagined.

Now CEO of Éclà, a community-driven workspace in Melbourne, Nick reflects on his transition from 20 years in football to business and fatherhood.

Brisbane Lions premiership defender Darcy Gardiner sits down with Chris Titley for his first-ever in-person podcast, sharing an honest and grounded look at the highs, lows, and growth that shaped his career. From the long, difficult years at the bottom of the ladder to the slow, steady build toward becoming a contender, Darcy reflects on what it meant to stay patient, trust the process, and evolve as both a player and a person.

They dive into the lessons from Brisbane’s heartbreaking 2023 loss, how reviewing that game as a group shaped their 2024 redemption, and the small moments that helped build belief.

Chris Titley catches up with former Supercars driver Lee Holdsworth for a warm, wide-ranging conversation about career, comeback and life after racing.
Lee revisits the crushing 2020 moment when sponsorship dried up, and how that forced him to rethink everything, retrain and build a second career in commercial real estate while still chasing the dream. He describes the hunger and focus that carried him back to win Bathurst and how that victory was as much about seizing the right opportunity as it was about persistence across 18 attempts.
The conversation moves easily between the technical and the personal. Lee explains how a driver actually builds and leads a team, the importance of recruiting people with character, and why the extra one percent of effort from mechanics, engineers and support staff makes all the difference. He shares practical high performance habits that still matter, including preparation, trusting your own style rather than copying others, and the need to keep enjoyment and flow at the centre of peak performance.
Lee also reflects on pressure, fear and the ways he learned to manage them. He talks candidly about the loneliness of leadership, the value of honest relationships, and how lessons from motorsport translate into business and life. Family and connection run through the episode. Lee recalls the formative shock of Ayrton Senna’s crash, a music backstage moment that felt surreal, and finishes with a simple piece of advice for young athletes: hard work and the right mindset will outlast raw talent.

Tom Gilbert sits down with Chris Titley to reflect on a year that traded game time for perspective. After a season dominated by rehab, Tom found unexpected gains in fatherhood and family time, and he talks openly about the emotional work of stepping away from the club and why putting his family first ultimately made him a better teammate and person.
He breaks down the simple performance habits that matter most: sleep, nutrition, hydration and consistent rehab, and explains how small investments at home and deliberate routines give him the platform to train and compete. Tom also explores leadership in practice, describing the loneliness of tough decisions, the value of authentic, adaptive communication, and why building culture starts with recruiting people who turn up every day.
Tom shares his scoreboard moment, his ambitions for a premiership and representative honours, and a clear message about enjoying the game while doing the fundamentals brilliantly.
