I'm stoked to bring you a conversation with Chad Caruso, a dude who embodies what it means to push yourself to the limits. Chad's story is a wild ride from the streets of New York to the Guinness Book of World Records, and he doesn't just tell his story; he inspires us to redefine our own limits.This episode has us cruising down memory lane and the vast American landscape with Chad as he recounts his cross-country skating adventure. Dodging traffic, and mastering the art of capturing it all on camera, his tales are a testament to the relentless spirit of a skater. We get real about the injuries, the battles with addiction, and the sobering journey back to the board—a journey that many of us can relate to in our own quests for personal triumph.We wrap up with Chad's vision of leaving a legacy. He shares his dreams for his nonprofit and the documentary that might just land him on Netflix, all while offering a candid look at the transformative power of sobriety. This episode isn't just about skateboarding; it's about falling down and getting back up, about the freedom found in four wheels, and about the community we build when we Keep Pushing together.

Unlike our first episode (which was an online recording), this week's episode is in real life. En la vida real. I asked Steve to write his own bio:“I try to see life as a series of experiences that challenge or change me in a positive way. I'm kinda excited about getting older and thinking back to the random and crazy shit that I did. Even the stuff that may have sucked at the time. I'm basically just building up memories of things and people I've discovered along the way that hopefully make me a better person.”- Steve Tierney 2023I'll be back in January 2024.ShanUse Code: THT (for discounts and support the show at the same time)KRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

This week Sally Felice (Affleck) joins me for an in-person conversation to share about her life so far. We record at her home in the eastern suburbs of Sydney on a balmy spring evening with the sound of crickets in the background (which I discovered was near impossible to edit out, but it slowly becomes ambient noise). Sally discusses her early life growing up in the northern beaches area of Sydney, the challenges she faced as a child of divorce, finding solace and community in skateboarding, what it was like being the only girl at the skatepark for the first 4 years of her skating life, self-imposed pressure to prove herself to the boys, getting sponsored by Kewday and Billabong, entering skate comps, being one of the first skate coaches in Australia with Mick Mulhall, meeting her non-skater husband, starting a family, balancing career, her love for all sports (specifically soccer) and much much more. There was numerous requests for Sally to be on the show, and rightly so, she busted down the door for women's skateboarding in Australia and maybe the world.

I speak with UFC fighter Jamie Mullarkey for a third time this year. I feel honoured to be able to document Jamie's character, personality and mind-set during his UFC fight journey. A truely special phase of his life.  Jamie re-caps his stellar performance at Perth UFC284, the lessons he learnt at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas, and his current training camp for Sydney UFC293. As an elite athlete in one of the most physically and mentally challenging sports on earth, Jamie and I discuss the scope of pressure that he faces, the tenacity required to maintain a (very sort-after) contract with the UFC, adapting to last-minute opponent changes, what it's like behind the scenes on fight nights, recovery modalities, mental health management, why there is no such thing as an "easy fight" at this level, and much much more. There was a focussed determination in Jamie's eyes that felt different compared to other times I've hung out with him... Just saying.Talented photographer, Izrayl Brinsdon joined me at this recording, and he shot some rad portraits of Jamie on 35mm camera film for this episode, so keep an eye out for his work.

Justin shares openly about his early days growing up in western Sydney, finding his love for skateboarding in the 80s, searching out backyard pools, Muay Thai fights,  losing his way with heroin addiction and participation in criminal activity to support his habit, serving time, getting clean in jail, how skateboarding gave him hope, his deep love and appreciation for the art of Muay Thai, finding fulfilment in teaching and training others, his faith, Sydney skate scene history, the mentorship he found in John Finlay, Fairfield days, the three-headed snake, and much much more.

Peanut is a lifelong skateboarder based in Sydney Australia. In this week's episode, Peanut discusses his early involvement with the brand Volcom, life growing up in the Northern Beaches, being subjected to minor levels of racism, the empathetic approach he endeavours to apply to his interactions with people, his early identification of the talented Dustin Dollin, why the "Gino-factor" will always save skateboarding, his production company Visual Cognac, frontside half-cabs, his infamous "Crooked Cop" on the cover of Slam Magazine, the origins of his birth name, and much much more. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Peanut. We went for a skate before recording, the vibes were high, and Peanut was ripping.Shoutout to friend, past guest, and this week's co-host, Darren Kaehne for sitting in and shooting the shit.

Gordon Auchinachie is an iconic skateboarder from Sydney who made a profound impact on the scene throughout the 90s and beyond. In this week's episode, Gordon shares about his life growing up in Mosman, finding skateboarding, skating in the city, getting sponsored, making the legendary video "Plebs", being offered the job as editor of popular magazine Skateboarding Australia, crazy stories from the Annandale share house, that time he did "skate tricks" in his Honda at Kierle Park, getting featured in Transworld Skateboarding magazine, hanging out with visiting American pro skaters,  shooting photos with Mike O'Meally, how Christian Hosoi changed his life on a street corner in Bondi at 3am, and much much more.

Dean Wells is a skateboarder, creative, and former (somewhat controversial) reality TV show star. This week, I join Dean in his studio on the northern beaches of Sydney to discuss his life so far. Dean shares about his family's move from England to Australia, their humble beginnings in the western Sydney suburb of Auburn, their re-location to the city of Newcastle, why he got into skateboarding, surfing, and making music, being asked to be a participant on reality TV show Married at First Sight, why he was subsequently portrayed as a villain on the show, political insights, mainstream media agendas, finding his faith, and much much more. Intelligent, well-spoken and opinionated, it was a pleasure getting to know Dean.Shout-out to past guest, friend, and this week's co-host, Mr Darren Kaehne!

Legendary professional Australian Skateboarder, Mick Mulhall joins me for an in-person chat, live from his home in Five Dock, Sydney Australia this week. I'm joined by special guest co-hosts, and longtime friends of Mick, Darren Kaehne and Billy Harris. We commune with Mick at a delicate time in his life,  with the recent passing of his mother, combined with the arduous task of packing up, and selling the family home they have owned for over 50 years. Mick takes us on a journey through his life of skateboarding and creativity. He discusses finding skateboarding in the late 70's, life growing up in the inner west of Sydney, being the only skateboarder at school, being bullied by jocks and teachers for being 'different', his parent's divorce, fundamentally being raised by a single mother, his love for Keirle Park vert ramp even though the transitions were put on upside down, Fairfield vert and mini-ramp days, John Finlay stories, travelling Europe with Chad Ford and Wade Burkitt, his love for the Manly Blades Aerial Assult team, that time he broke his jaw learning 540s at the old Five Dock, the friendships and life-long connections he has made through skateboarding, getting sponsored, designing his first pro-model, back-to-back 8 foot backside airs, method airs (that are personally engrained in my memory), and much much more. Being in that house with Mick, surrounded by his epic collection of (original) skate memorabilia felt truely special. I feel honoured to present this conversation to you.Enjoy,Shan Mick supports and advocates for: Mission AustraliaConnect with Terrible Happy Talks online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terriblehappytalks/Website: https://terriblehappytalks.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TerriblehappyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriblehappytalksFriends of THTUse Code: THT (for discounts and support the show at the same time)KRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Craig Martin is a former Military Paratrooper who has completed multiple overseas deployments to locations throughout his long career, including locations such as Afghanistan and East Timor. In this week's episode, Craig discusses what it's like to be shot at in combat, living in a war zone, celebrating his 21st birthday in Afghanistan, the challenges of integrating back into civilian life, his passion for hard physical training, healing modalities such as cold therapy, his professional MMA fights, fighting above his weight-class, his childhood growing up in rural Australia, controlled and uncontrolled violence, the importance of loyalty and mate-ship, his love for his children and much much more.Tough on the exterior, sincere and kind on the inside, Craig's willingness to be vulnerable is the true measure of his strength in my opinion.Enjoy,ShanConnect with Terrible Happy Talks online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terriblehappytalks/Website: https://terriblehappytalks.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TerriblehappyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriblehappytalksFriends of THTUse Code: THT (for discounts and support the show at the same time)KRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Former Vice News and News Limited journalist, current article writer for Stab Magazine, and co-host of (the best surf podcast on the planet) Ain't That Swell, Mr Jed Smith joins me for a chat from his home in the Northern Rivers of NSW Australia. Jed discusses his empathy for the working class, his personal struggle with PTSD, brain injury, the healing modalities he is implementing, a review of his recent podcast guests, and much much more. Jed is unapologetically opinionated, candid, raw, and fiercely intelligent. I'm a fan. You will be too (if you're not already).Enjoy,Shan

This week I speak with former professional skateboarder, exceptional artist, husband and father, Mr Sidney Tapia. Sid joins me live from his Art Gallery in Brisbane, Australia, to take us on a deep, authentic, and often raw journey, through his life so far.  Sid reflects on his tumultuous childhood and teens years, the challenges of being a child of migrant parents who divorced when he was 3 years of age, finding art as his place of solace, navigating a liveable income as a sponsored skateboarder in the 90s, being contracted to draw murals for sports organisations such as the NRL and the UFC,  his innate desire to be of service to others, finding his faith in God, and much much more.Despite Sid's rich history in Skateboarding, we don't really talk much about it in this episode. I assume this will be disappointing to some, however, his charismatic tales of redemption, hope and love, are much more engaging and enriching in my opinion. He analyses the human condition we all endure with vigour. He strips back the layers, sifts through the shit, and comes out clean on the other side...Just for today anyway.   I love this episode. And I love Sid.

*Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) This week, past guest, Psychologist, and Jui Jitsu enthusiast Mark Baxter joins me along with Artist, Curator of the Sporulation Psychedelic Art Festival, and Exercise Physiologist Melissa Errey. The three of us have an open conversation about mental health, it's inevitable fluctuations, trauma, and beyond. Melissa shares elements of her personal story which is brave and appreciated. Mark weighs in to address the news around the TGA's re-scheduling of Psilocybin and MDMA for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and the reality of it's accessibility and gradual integration. The conversations goes off on a variety of different tangents, however, to summate, both Mel and Mark are passionate about improving positive mental health outcomes for people. It's that simple. Yes, there is much talk about the use of Psychedelics, their potential benefits, potential harms. It's an education, so listen with an open heart and an open mind.Enjoy,ShanCheckout the Sporulation Art Festival:April 19 – 30, 2023Project Contemporary Artspace,255 Keira Street, WollongongConnect with Terrible Happy Talks online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terriblehappytalks/Website: https://terriblehappytalks.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TerriblehappyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriblehappytalksFriends of THTUse Code: THTKRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

This week I catch-up with one of my personal favourite Australian Skateboarders, Mr Darren Kaehne. Darren and I have a relaxed, yet long conversation, at his house in Mona Vale on the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia. Darren shares about his early years growing-up, finding a sincere passion for Skateboarding, meeting his wife, starting a family, and everything in between. We reflect a lot on the Australian skate scene in the 90s which was fun, but mainly we philosophise, and go off on a variety of random tangents. It was an enjoyable blur of a conversation. I loved it.Some might say Darren is a gifted Skateboarder (which I agree with), however, he is also someone who has literally never stopped. He's been doing it for 35 years (plus). Never one to chase the spotlight, never one to expect anything from it, just pure love, and when you watch him skate, this is abundantly clear. There is an endearing sensitivity to Darren that I really liked. He attributes a healthy lifestyle, gratitude, presence, and non-attachment to the past, as values that have allowed him the longevity that he now enjoys with his skateboarding. At 47 years of age he is still ripping. Be sure to check-out the edit I put together of our post-podcast skate. Darren literally stacked about 3 minutes worth of quality footage in the space of a couple of hours at Mona Vale Skatepark...You'll be inspired.Enjoy,ShanConnect with Terrible Happy Talks online:Website: https://terriblehappytalks.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terriblehappytalks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TerriblehappyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriblehappytalksFriends of THTUse Code: THTKRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Reed Stark is a professional BMX rider for BSD, Etnies, Sweets Kendamas, Rawr Superfoods, and Plants Basically. He's such a positive force in the world. He was a huge factor in making the amazing BSD Cliffhanger video come to life and we talk about that in this episode. He's creating a non profit called the Try Again Foundation, he's hosting jams, planning trips, and living the travelling life. I first met him 15 or so years ago when he was on a trip in AZ for "Team Dilly" which you should totally go watch his part in their video called "It Do". Loved this convo, and hope you do too. It was a shorter episode than normal and he'll be back for a round 2 soon! Thanks for watching/listening. If you leave a 5 star review my mom will finally give me the approval I've been searching for my whole life. Kanode Knows is brought to you by DIGBMX.

Jarrett Wilbraham is a professional MMA fighter and past guest. This week he joins me remotely to check in, discuss his recent title fight in Melbourne, and in true Jarrett fashion, we get deep into his ongoing healing journey. Despite being an absolute savage in the Octagon, Jarrett is a deeply sensitive, and empathetic human who attributes much of his healing journey to his conscious use of psychedelics, supporting family and friends and training at an elite level. The conversation goes on a variety of tangents, we talk about:His wild fight down in Melbourne as parts of the HEXS promotion. A fight that he dominated, yet lost due to error.The losing mindset, learning from defeat and growing from it.The role of psychedelics on healing his trauma, and being better for those around him.Being part of Alex Volkanovski's UFC284 training camp.His financial concerns, making a living from fighting in order to provide and start a family of his own.And there is much more to the conversation, you'll have to tune-in and enjoy the ride. We record remotely, and yes there was some sound quality issues which Jarrett and I were able to rectify. Still very listen-able, however, the audio quality is not as good as in-person recordings (obviously).Shan.THT Partnerships Use Code: THTKRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.
