Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

This week I sat down with Blair Rubock, a really special human who has built something incredible with his Instagram page @ThroughStrangersEyes. By sitting down with strangers and having honest conversations about their struggles, Blair has reached millions of people and reminded all of us that everyone is carrying something.We got into all of it. How Through Strangers' Eyes started, what those conversations have taught him, and why he had to stop his national tour to look after his own mental health.Blair also opens up about his fear of dying, and what it has been like watching his dad struggle with dementia right after he retired. It's a heavy chapter, but Blair speaks about it with so much love and honesty.We also chat about his newest project, Through My Eyes, where he travelled to a remote village in the Mentawai Islands to live with the tribesmen and learn about their way of life. The documentary drops on May 31st and it sounds incredible.This is one of those conversations that will sit with you for a while.In this episode we cover:How Through Strangers' Eyes started and the impact it has hadWhat he has learned from sitting down with strangers about their strugglesStopping the national tour to protect his own mental healthHis own fear of dyingWatching his dad struggle with dementia after retirementHis new documentary Through My EyesLiving with tribesmen in the Mentawai IslandsWhat the experience taught him about life, culture and connectionThrough My Eyes documentary Premiere May 31st - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/through-my-eyes-ep-1-living-with-the-mentawai-documentary-tickets-1987718564735?aff=oddtdtcreatorFollow BlairInstagram https://www.instagram.com/blairubock/Through Strangers' Eyes https://www.instagram.com/throughstrangerseyes/Connect with Cooper and TGHF1% Good Club Book (use code PODCAST for 25% off) https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/products/1-good-club-bookInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEHThe Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.comTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

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 brotherhoodFollow The Reese BrosYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@reesebrosYTInstagram https://www.instagram.com/reesebros/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@reesebros—Connect with Cooper and TGHFInstagram 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-bookLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEHThe Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.comTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

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 nowA 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.

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 movementConnect with Frankie:https://themmi.com.au/Enjoyed this episode?

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 overConnect with Brianna:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/briannathrossellEnjoyed this episode?

Most people see an osteopath when their back gives out or their neck won't turn. They get treated, they leave, and they come back when it happens again.Dr Ash Hamilton does things differently.As an osteopath and mind-body speaker, Ash has built his practice around something most in his field overlook: that the body keeps score, and if you only treat the physical, you are only telling half the story. His patients are often the ones who have been everywhere else first. The ones who have tried everything and are still in pain. The ones who need someone who will actually look at the whole picture.In this episode, Ash takes us through his journey to finding a genuine love for his craft, why he became just as focused on the mind as the body, and what he has learned from working with people that the system could not figure out. This is a conversation that will change the way you think about pain, healing, and what it actually means to feel well.In this episode we cover:Ash's journey into osteopathy and how he found his passion for the mind-body connectionWhy so many people with chronic pain end up at his door after exhausting every other optionHow the mind and body communicate and why you cannot treat one without the otherWhat chronic pain is really telling us and why it is so often misunderstoodThe mindset shifts that help his patients finally break through after years of strugglePractical tools for understanding your own body and nervous system betterWhat Ash wishes more people knew about pain, healing, and long-term wellbeingConnect with Dr Ash Hamilton:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.ashhamilton/Website https://steponeosteo.com.au/Enjoyed this episode?

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 progressionA powerful conversation about backing yourself, pushing boundaries and chasing what's possible.Follow ThomasINSTAGRAM-1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokLinked InThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

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 todayRochelle 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.As always, if this episode resonates, share it with someone you care about and tag us so we can see your biggest takeaway.Follow RochelleINSTAGRAMWEBSITEGET A COPY OF MAGNETIC - BOOKPrevious Rochelle episode link 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!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

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 bigIf you've ever wondered how small daily actions can turn into real impact, you'll love this one.Follow JoshINSTAGRAMDonate to his record surf!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!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

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 calmIf you enjoy this episode, share it with someone who would benefit and let us know your biggest takeaway

In this episode, I share something a little different and a lot of fun.Our 1% Good Club community recently came together to share their favourite restaurants, cafes, and local spots to try, and it turned into a reminder of why community matters so much.It is a gentle reminder that being a good human is not always about doing more. Sometimes it is about sharing a great meal, trying somewhere new, and feeling connected to the people around you.As always, this episode is inspired by messages from our community and built around the idea that small moments, done consistently, can make a big difference.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!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's LinksInstagramTikTokLinkedInYouTubeThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Steven Lu, a former cardiac surgeon turned preventative health pioneer and the founder of Everlab.Steven shares his journey through medicine, from operating in high-pressure ICU and surgical environments to asking a deeper question: why are we waiting until people are critically unwell before intervening? After years of treating heart disease at its most advanced stages, he realised the system was built around reacting to illness rather than preventing it.We unpack the philosophy behind Everlab and why prevention, early detection, and personalised health data are the future of healthcare. Steven explains how understanding your biomarkers, lifestyle, and risk factors can help you take ownership of your health long before symptoms appear.This conversation also dives into simple, practical health habits anyone can start today, from movement and nutrition to sleep, stress, and consistency over perfection. It is a powerful reminder that small daily choices can dramatically change long-term outcomes.If you have ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or reactive about your health, this episode will help you reframe the way you think about wellbeing and empower you to take action earlier rather than later.In this episode we cover:Steven's journey from cardiac surgery to preventative medicineWhy the healthcare system is reactive by designThe moment that inspired him to start EverlabThe importance of early testing and personalised health dataSimple daily habits that reduce long-term disease riskWhy prevention is not about perfection, but consistencyHow to think long-term about your health and energyThis episode is about taking responsibility for your health, one decision at a time, before crisis forces the conversation.Follow Dr Steven/EverlabINSTAGRAMSend @thegoodhumanfactory a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Australian professional tennis player Thomas Fancutt for his very first interview since serving a 10 month anti doping ban that turned his world upside down.Thomas opens up about the moment everything changed. A simple IV drip that he believed was allowed became a career altering mistake, leading to a ban that shocked him, his team, and the tennis world.We talk about what it was really like to have his career paused overnight, the emotional toll of being labelled, judged, and misunderstood, and the mental battle of staying motivated when the sport you love is suddenly taken away.Thomas shares the behind the scenes reality of the ban, the shame and frustration he carried, and how he worked through anger, fear, and uncertainty about his future.Most importantly, we dive into the comeback. How this experience reshaped his mindset, strengthened his resilience, and gave him a new perspective on purpose, pressure, and identity beyond sport.This episode is about mistakes, accountability, and what it really takes to rebuild when your life takes an unexpected turn.If you have ever faced a setback that felt unfair, overwhelming, or completely out of your control, this conversation will hit home.In this episode, we cover:Thomas's tennis journey and rise in the professional ranksThe IV drip incident and how a misunderstanding led to a 10 month banThe emotional impact of having his career put on holdDealing with public judgement and internal doubtHow he stayed mentally strong during the toughest period of his lifeWhat this experience taught him about identity, resilience, and perspectiveHis mindset heading into his comeback and what drives him nowThis is a raw, real, and inspiring conversation about turning one of the hardest moments of your life into fuel for your next chapter.Follow ThomasINSTAGRAM 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!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the first episode of the Good Humans Podcast for 2026.I wanted to start this year with something powerful, practical, and a little different. That is why I invited Ole Hill, who is widely regarded as Australia's leading hypnotist, onto the show.In this episode, Ole and I dive into how hypnosis actually works, why so many of us struggle to follow through on our New Year's resolutions, and how our subconscious mind plays a much bigger role in our behaviour than most people realise.What makes this episode really special is that Ole guides us through a live hypnosis session during the conversation. This was designed to help you connect with your goals for 2026, let go of mental blocks, and set clear intentions for the year ahead. It is something you can come back to anytime you need a reset.For me, this episode is about more than motivation. It is about creating real change by working with your mind rather than against it. If you are stepping into 2026 wanting more clarity, confidence, or alignment with your goals, this episode is a great place to start.In this episode, we talk about:What hypnosis really is and what it is notWhy New Year's resolutions often failHow the subconscious mind influences habits and decision makingThe role of focus, suggestion, and awareness in personal growthA live guided hypnosis session to support your 2026 goalsStarting the year with intention rather than pressureA quick note before you listenIf you can, listen to this episode somewhere quiet, especially for the hypnosis section. Sitting or lying down comfortably and giving yourself permission to slow down will help you get the most out of it. - Please don't do the hypnosis while driving.Thanks for being here and for kicking off 2026 with me. I hope this episode helps you feel clear, grounded, and excited for the year ahead.FOLLOW OLEINSTAGRAM - www.instagram.com/summithypnotismSend @thegoodhumanfactory a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

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 aliveMikel'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.Follow MikelInstagram—Send me a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.
