Horses mouth

In this episode I had the good fortune of speaking with none other than Michael Ferris of Ferris Property - He's an amazing human having a second crack at reorganizing and living life more on his terms, you might say !!! The indoctrination of the human soul is real, the hamster wheel, the machine, the big G being Government wants you asleep at the wheel, pay your money to us and shut up.....Sorry, that was me getting on my high Horse,,,, but Michael has peeked behind the curtain and decided no more sleepy time, life is precious and he's not interested in feverishly chasing fun tokens for no good reason. The sleeping giant within has stirred, you might say - we cover a lot of ground in this chat, from near life-ending situations, to travel, to getting in tune with one's own inner voice and trajectory., Thanks so much Michael for coming over and having the chat  yeeeew 

In this episode, I had the good fortune of speaking with Tina Tainui. Around here, she's best known as a yoga teacher and founder of OurSpace Yoga in Torquay… but no no no—Tina is so much more than that. She's a serious force of nature with a hell of a story to tell. Originally from New Zealand and raised in the school of hard knocks (seriously!), Tina's life took a sharp turn thanks to a chance encounter with a stranger—maybe even a guardian angel, depending on how you look at it. That moment gave her the courage to get out of her situation and go live, really live, and experience the world. And that's exactly what she did. She's been everywhere, man—Rubbing shoulders, cutting hair, and partying with some of the great artists and cultural trailblazers of our time. Without giving too much away… I hope you enjoy our chat. Thanks, Tina.

Today on the Horses Mouth, I was joined by Dr Harley Mackenzie — a long-time Torquay local, leader in the energy sector, and a passionate advocate for reform. Dr Mackenzie has just announced he's running for the federal seat of Corangamite, representing the Legalise Cannabis Party. His campaign isn't just about changing laws — it's about health, personal freedom, and bringing some much-needed common sense to the national conversation on cannabis. As he puts it: “The war on drugs has failed. It's time for a smarter approach.” www.legalisecannabis.org.au I hope you enjoy our chat     

This week, I had the good fortune of chatting with none other than Max Cakarik. Max is a mate of mine who never stops surprising me—I'm honestly in awe of how he keeps leveling up, taking on life's challenges, and then pushing even further. He's a young buck on a mission—went back to school, threw himself into yoga, tackled some heavy mental health battles, launched a magazine, landed a gig with Rip Curl, and is always on the hunt for waves of consequence. And his recent, on-a-whim trip to Hawaii? Epic yarn and story of aboslutly living life to the full   Stoked for ya, Max—absolute weapon. Keep charging and thanks for the chat

Well It's been 9 years and two months since Corey and I last spoke on the Horses Mouth !  WTF Seriously feels a bit like yesterday, but it's not!  For those of you that don't know who Corey is, he's a master craftsman surfboard shaper, father, husband, and surfer, his lineage runs deep, through a close relationship with his late great father Rusty Graham, who guided him in the industry since he was a little tacker sweeping foam out of shaping bays of some of Australias best shapers and looking for the illusive brass magnet ! Corey has been on a wild ride of his own within his craft, losing faith, walking away, coming back, getting lost and emerging through blood sweat and tears to be renowned as one of Aussie's best surfboard shapers, and to solidify this further he's recently been invited to be one of eleven shapers in the Stab magazine electric acid surfboard test, huge honor. Anyway you get the gist he's real deal legend and foam frother  I hope you enjoy our chat

This chat I had the amazing fortune of speaking with none other than Jack McCoy, For those of you who don't know who Jack is you need to pull your head out of the bloody sand and slap yourself around the face, Jack is probably the most influential surf filmmaker of the past 50 years, his films, the cinematography in and out of the water, music choice and humor all have been game-changing in the industry.  Jacks a long time hero of mine, his films shaped me at a time of my life when I was desperate for an anchor, and my imagination of living a life somewhat like what Jack was portraying in Bunyip Dreaming and The Green Iguana was second to none.  When Jack said yes to having a chat with me I was beyond stoked.  So if you're out there Jack, Thanks so much !

But when I bumped into him late last year he was more than stoked -  it was his first surf back after a pretty heavy procedure in Hospital and it was his first surf back! in 6 months and he was soooo STOKED ! Dicko is one of those people on the coast who the grommet inside never left, He's a wealth of knowledge and a master craftsman of as they say in the industry 'Mowin foam' shaping surfboards.  He's always on the go, so when the doctors told him to take it easy, I've no doubt it was a tough pill to swallow.  But he's back and up to his usual self mowin foam and hitting the road in search of uncrowded waves... I hope you enjoy our chat on the life and times of Darren Dickson

Doug 'Claw' Warbrick  Recently turned 80 - hard to believe! he still has a cheeky and energetic demeanor who still cares about the ocean and the future of surfing today as much as he did probably 65 years ago. Claw is an enigmatic soul whose vision and dedication have helped further / Shift and pioneer professional surfing where it is today. He co-founded Ripcurl in 1969 with Brian ‘Sing Ding' Singer and they truly never looked back. Claw's vision is apparent from a young age and through hard work and dedication the stars seriously aligned or maybe it was just written in the stars! It seems he was hell-bent on an ocean way of life long before there was an industry or a pot to piss in.  I still remember Claw coming into the shop ( Ripcurl ) when I worked there in the late 90s just to ask how everything is going and showing interest in all levels of the business and I remember thinking through red eyes how impressive that was. I hope you enjoy our chat 

In this Horses mouth I had the pleasure of chatting to Western Australian charger Ollie Henry, He's a professional surfer sponsored to chase waves and do his thing by Rusty - Ollie is one of those guys who gets the job done. Example we were chatting cars after our chat out on the street - I asked him if he had a duel battery as I know he spends a lot of time on the road camping and chasing slabs, he said no,,, would like one but its bucks at the moment I don't wanna spend - you can still go bush and camp and do all the things you need without one ----- I love this attitude as I thought ahhh I cant go long range without one --- get the job done with what you have at hand !!! you don't need all the bells and whistles you just need a sense of adventure and a set of gonads If you're chasing the sort of slabs Ollie is after !!! Not to be sexist but the guy is next fucken level and it's a saying more than anything re Gonad Man... bla bla bla  Ollie is good fucken people and I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out and chatting - I hope you enjoy our yak !  

Tim Stevenson is a real-life dude who walks the walk, he's understated as fuck - keeps his cards close to his chest from time to time, but in this chat we delve under the hood to see what makes Timmy tick. The guy is a waterman, really that is enough said! but he truly is...I think I live my life by the winds tides and swell.... BUT Tim takes it to another level, he's constructed his life so he can chase waves all over the globe at the drop of a hat or the sniff of a red blob on a swell map. He's the winner of the last 50-year storm international big wave contest in honor of Sean brooks here at Bells beach, also one of the founding members of the Jan Juc Boardriders and ex-president. So all this said the man has and is living A LIFE !!!!! full of tails and experience  I hope you enjoy our chat   

Rousa is the real deal and one of the respected elders of our tribe, and I feel grateful and fortunate to have had him over for a cuppa and a chat about life, what it means to walk the earth in a "Modern world', his journey and addiction to salt water and the octane that comes with it. Rousa is part of the historical fabric of surfing in Torquay, his influence and friendships are wide and deep which is a reflection of his being, I had many requests to get Rousa on the horse's mouth and we were chatting last year about it - But he had a to sneak into Hospital for heart bypass surgery!!!!.....He is back and what a force of nature he is  Thanks for popping in Rousa and I hope ya'll enjoy our chat   

Duncan Anderson is a force, He's the Co-founder and CEO of Edrolo, which is reinventing how we teach our young, providing support with an easier-to-understand curriculum for students and teachers from years 7 -12 based around an antiquated system. Duncan is a sponge he has a level of drive and thirst for knowledge that is seriously next level, which left me scratching my head, and enjoying the mental gymnastics of his sentences, words, and thoughts - I'd go as far as to say Duncan is an outlier. I hope you enjoy our Chat     

Casey Egan is one of those guys who's followed his heart from the jump. He's grown up under the guide of his charging Dad Andrew Egan at bird rock which has given him some barrel riding skills and a larry layback which is arguably second to none - although he proclaims to not being able to go left! He's a kept man to loving Ella and his son Otis, and he and Ella have been on a journey for a long time, that's taken them far and wide. Casey has worked in clothing design for 20-odd years taking him abroad and also starting his own denim business. On top of that after a stretch away he returned home and became one of the founding members of the Jan Juc boardriders club. I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I enjoyed chatting with him

In this chat the amazingly talented designer from Melbourne forcibly jumps in the hot seat and tells me what life was like as an angsty teenager with hopes and dreams of becoming a force behind the sewing machine and her journey of trials and tribulations to living her dream as a Fashion Designer, búl has created a unique and innovative signature style within the industry. I hope you enjoy our chat

Shaun O'Callaghan is one of those people that I don't see all the time even though we blow around the same town. Still, when I do it's usually a great chat - O'y is a lightning rod of ideas and high octane energy which I love, the banter is always on. Even though it may start left field and loose, it usually turns deep and philosophical pretty quick which I also love. O'ys a family man and hard worker who asks a lot of himself, through our chat I learned more about the real estate game and personal development which follows that path - whether that is true of all real estate agents or just O'ys journey through I'm yet to figure out :) I hope you enjoy our chat    Link to Tool 46&2 Subtitle meaning and breakdown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogzRhlezx2s

Will Hanigan is one of those guys you meet that are truly running their own race, having grown up in the North West of Western Australia on a Pearl Farm, His adventures pearling and learning the business of pearls are quite uncanny and fascinating, His inquisitive nature has taken Will far from the shores of Western Australia, he's a spiritual being that's often taken swaths of life to further self-knowledge, and deepen his lust for life, his interest in history, the natural world and keeping himself in optimum physical shape makes for quite a refreshing points of view. Hope you enjoy Will and I's chat  Thanks Will 

Sil is a lot of things to a lot of people, Shes is a loving partner to Tony, a mum and writer, and a modern philosopher, she likes to tackle the heavy subjects with an alternative point of view - she solidly believes in humanity and the fragility that is the precipice we find ourselves standing on as a species at this moment in time - I think she has a great point of view and worth thinking about, and if not acting on - especially outside the slow-moving walls of Governance and big business and corporate media. I hope you enjoy our yarn 

Molly is an unassuming powerhouse and just what the world needs more of, I meet Molly and her bestie Freya on a surf trip to King Island, They had just finished a Lap of Tassie surfing and exploring and were doing a trip to KI with King Island surf Safaries, before heading west on the mainland when our paths crossed.  Their good vibes and cavalier approach left me scratching my head a few times - I think I was once more like this ??!!!! What the hell happened.... I was inspired and it left me wondering about where my energy and thoughts are being directed sometimes! It's just a choice isn't it? or does getting older just wear you down? Or maybe sometimes you just need a reminder  The more I learned about Molly I just couldn't believe the things she'd achieved in a short space of time ---- Hey Mol umm would you like to be a guest on my Podcast ! I hope you enjoy our chat  Cheers  JT

In this episode of the Horses Mouth I had the good fortune of speaking with Local legend Xavier Huxtable, Xav is such a great guy, don't let his chill demeanor fool you he obviously gets white line fever - whether he's pulling on a contest jersey or a pair of footy boot's you better be bringing your A-game Xav is the real deal. He's currently on the World Qualifying circuit and looking for big fish and a long career - I cant wait to see him on the main stage WCT

This Horses mouth I had the pleasure of chatting to Silas Hickey, Silas has had an amazing life from being a surfing grommet here on the coast to currently having an Animation concept and development studio in Japan called Custom Nuts, He's grounded humble, and funny as fuck - for someone who recently held the title Senior Director, Asia Pacific Animation Development, Turner International Asia Pacific; we've been communicating for a while through covid lockdown - and I'm honored he made the effort to swing by on his brief visit back to Australia. Hope you enjoy our Chat   

Anita is one of those amazing people, has a real glint in her eye - works hard always stoked in and out of the water, always has time for a chat and notices the beauty in the natural world, and often points it out which I love! In this chat we arc through her life and she walks us through a challenge that is everyone's worse nightmare, but with the love and support of her family and her tenacity and love of life and great medical support, she lives to tell the tale.  Thanks for coming around and sharing Anita : )

Taylor is a modern man with old school values, he's transformed his life through travel and experience, he's a journeyman who loves the adventure and consistently asks himself and others what's next and are you following your heart, he realizes in the end life's short - Why not ! if your not happy dig a little deeper - I hope you enjoy our ark through Taylor's experience thus far.

Welcome to another episode of the Horses Mouth, This episode I had the good fortune of talking to my friend Amber, who said yes to a chat if I kept her name anonymous - which I can totally get on board with, she really lays out her Journey into Adulthood which really isn't for the faint-hearted, it's not a linear life - from Gymnastics and associated pressures to hospitals, beating addiction, sex work and back to school, as I write this think there is a book of a movie in Ambers story. Amber thanks for sharing
