Episode Summary Runner and content creator Josh Berlari (Josh "Josh Berlari") breaks down the training behind his 2:29 London Marathon (2025) and a near-sub-15 5K, pushing back on rumors of "minimal training." He shares that his peak was about 100 km per week, with a focused 4-5 week speed block before a marathon block that overlapped with fasting during Ramadan. Based in Bali for five years, Josh explains how he built a 140K+ Indonesian-language Instagram following by running in costumes (including a suit and a Go-Jek helmet), while trying to balance entertainment with a serious pursuit of elite performance. He also discusses his full-time e-commerce and digital marketing role selling hearing aids into the US, managing global operations after scaling to seven figures per month. Now coached by Mark Scott, Josh details his build toward Tokyo up to roughly 140 km per week before an ankle injury from stepping into a pothole in heavy rain. He outlines how he's using bike and treadmill cross-training, and why he's keeping Tokyo conservative (around 2:24-2:25), while targeting sub-2:20 this year and longer-term goals that include London, Gold Coast, and Berlin.

Watch the latest episode of Stab in the Dark X starring Kelly Slater here https://stabmag.com/stabcinema/watch-... Any genuinely endearing conversation might hinge on seating Dane Reynolds next to someone improbable and letting the room do the work. Last week: the reigning world champ. This week: Kelly Slater, calling in from New Zealand. Four months post hip replacement, the greatest surfer of all time admits he can barely lift his knee into a car some days, but he insists the robo-hip already outperforms the real one, which had been dragging him through agony for the last four years. He'd been surfing through pain the whole time. Laird Hamilton personally rang to convince him to get on the operating table. A wellness check, from one absurdly fit old-boy to another. He also reveals that during Stab In The Dark X, his back seized up for four days straight. Bedridden and unable to walk without looking like a pretzel. But you can't keep a good goat down. He still paddled out, still tested six nearly identical boards, all while wrangling Snapper crowds and soft Gold Coast walls. Remarkably, Kelly admits to not having watched a single episode of SITD X. Not one. Just the Instagram clips. That's it. Is this the surf equivalent of Johnny Depp claiming he's never seen one of his own movies? Similar star power, frankly. On the topic of SITD, Kel talks candidly about the awkwardness of judging shapers while owning a board company himself, and why he never publicly burned a design, even when it deserved it. More interesting is his philosophy: shapers shouldn't try to guess what Kelly wants. He wants what they actually make, otherwise it's just pasteurised performance foam. From there, the gents get into lineup politics, snowboarding double blacks, and the simple economic reality that waves are limited, egos are not, hence grown men hissing over them. The ISA's new Olympic qualifying system gets a light public flogging. And yes, Kelly is a believer in the machine. Put Olympic surfing in a wave pool. Standardise it, industrialise it, flip the switch and hear the system roar.

The property rules have changed… again. What worked five years ago won't work the same way in 2026. The winners won't be the loudest, the fastest, or the most aggressive – they'll be the most strategic. So today, Brett Warren and I unpack exactly what's changed, what still works, and how smart investors can position themselves to win in the next phase of the property cycle.   We discuss the evolving landscape of property investment, emphasising the need for strategic planning and adaptability in response to changing market conditions.   We explore the impact of interest rates, economic factors, and the importance of quality assets in achieving long-term growth.   The conversation highlights the significance of mindset and emotional decision-making in investing, as well as the value of professional advice in navigating the complexities of the property market.   Takeaways   Most long-term capital growth comes from land, not buildings. The property market is changing; investors must adapt their strategies. Quality assets will outperform average properties in the long run. Interest rates and economic factors significantly impact property investment decisions. Investors should focus on long-term planning rather than short-term gains. Emotional decision-making can lead to costly mistakes in property investment. Professional advice is crucial in today's complex investment environment. Successful investors are patient and selective in their property choices. Understanding market cycles is essential for making informed investment decisions. The current environment presents opportunities for those who are prepared.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au.   Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs.

Alleged bomb threats to Australian prime minister's official Canberra residence —and a Gold Coast theatre — have thrust a Chinese dance group tied to a controversial spiritual group into the spotlight.

Australian home owners could face another interest rate rise within weeks after inflation figures from January came in hotter than expected.Headline inflation stayed unchanged from December, but the Reserve Bank's preferred measure ticked up slightly, and remains stubbornly high.Economists are tipping the bank could hike rates in May, putting more pressure on the government to ease the cost of living in the federal budget.Two men have been charged over the alleged kidnapping and murder of Sydney grandfather Chris Baghsarian.The 85-year-old was abducted from his home in North Ryde earlier this month and police believe it's a case of mistaken identity.The charges come soon after police discovered human remains belonging to the elderly man near a golf club in Pitt Town.The federal government's offering to evacuate the families of Australian diplomats and officials from some of its middle east missions, amid fears the US is preparing for strikes on Iran.The US has been sending war ships to the middle east and is threatening to attack the Iranian regime if it doesn't agree to a deal which aims to stop it producing nuclear weapons.The federal government's also telling Australians in Israel and Lebanon to consider leaving now, while there are still commercial flights available.A man has died, and a woman has been taken to hospital, after she jumped from a third-storey window during a unit fire in Sydney's west.25 people were evacuated from the building, and investigations into the incident are now underway.Queensland Police are investigating an alleged bomb threat against a Gold Coast theatre hosting a classical Chinese dance group, that's been subject to several threats including one against the Australian Prime Minister.The Shen Yun performance group, is linked to the Falun Gong spiritual movement and is banned in China.It's due to hold several concerts in Australia over the coming month.The PM was evacuated from his residence at the Lodge due to a bomb threat after an email was sent to Shen Yun's local organisers falsely claiming explosives had been placed around the property.

Joel Parkinson is a Gold Coast surfing icon; a CT standout with 11 CT wins, 3 Hawaiian Triple Crowns, 4 World Runner-Ups, the 2012 World Champion, and is globally-renowned as one of the most stylish and consistent competitors in modern surfing history.  In this year's first episode of The Lineup, he reflects on the journey that defined his career. Parko opens with the grassroots of Australian surfing, from Snapper Rocks Boardriders' 60+ year history to why club culture remains the backbone of the sport. He rewinds the tape back to when he was a young 11-year-old grom signing with Billabong for discounted boardshorts–and three decades later, still part of the team, a partnership that endured the ups and downs of brand-athlete relationships in surfing. He reveals how close he came to jumping ship to Rip Curl as a teenager, the jaw-dropping offer from Quiksilver in his early 20s, and why loyalty ultimately won.  Parko reflects on sharing a team with legends like Mark Occhilupo, Taj Burrow, and Luke Egan, and what it was like witnessing Andy Irons at his peak during the Blue Horizon era. He also shares the unforgettable story of Andy claiming the top room at the Billabong house in Hawaii—rankings be damned. The conversation shifts to life on Tour: traveling with his wife and kids long before it was common, the emotional toll of chasing a World Title while raising a family, and why his wife “deserves more of a World Title” than he does.  Parko opens up about nearly quitting in 2011 after a brutal New York event, how letting go reshaped his mindset, and the constant mental weight surfers carry when fighting for a Top 5. He dives into his rivalry and lifelong friendship with Mick Fanning and Dean Morrison, addresses the “style” narrative that followed him throughout his career, and gets deep into board talk—from early DHD days to his long partnership with JS Industries, including the mythical board that went 17 heats undefeated.

Christian O'Connell and the team dive into the latest news, discussing Trump's plans to build a mega tower in Australia. They poke fun at the idea, imagining what kind of people would want to see a golden Trump tower on the Gold Coast. The team wonders if Trump will use Australian or American labor for the project, and if it'll be a giant wall instead. They also discuss the current tallest building in Australia, the Q1, and how a new Trump tower might compare. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tòa tháp Trump dự kiến xây dựng ở Gold Coast sẽ là tòa nhà cao nhất nước Úc, theo nhà phát triển. Tòa nhà chọc trời này được cho là sẽ cao 91 tầng và bao gồm một khu nghỉ dưỡng sáu sao, nhưng đề xuất này còn lâu mới được hoàn tất.

Inflation has eased… except where it hasn't. Interest rates were meant to be heading down… until they weren't. And suddenly everyone's blaming government spending.   But is Canberra really the culprit - or is that just a convenient headline?   Today, Ken Raiss and I unpack what's actually driving Australia's sticky inflation, why the RBA is worried about "capacity constraints", and what policy makers could do that would genuinely take pressure off prices - without smashing households and without sabotaging the property market.   Now you've probably read about inflation and heard about it a hundred times by now, but having been involved in financial markets and property for over 50 years each, Ken and I are going to bring you a different perspective today and some new ways of thinking about things.   So please bear with us because I hope we're going to bring you some clarity and direction.   Takeaways  Inflation is the increase in prices over time. Interest rates are used to control inflation but can have negative effects on consumers. Government spending can contribute to inflation, but it's not the sole cause. Capacity constraints in the economy affect productivity and inflation rates. CPI may not accurately reflect the real cost of living for households. Investors should focus on A-grade assets in strong demand areas. Deficits can be acceptable if they lead to productive investments. Consumer confidence is crucial for economic stability. Strategic planning is essential for navigating the property market. Understanding economic fundamentals is key to making informed investment decisions.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of What Every Property Investor Needs To Know About Finance, Tax And The Law ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole Wealth Advisory to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs.

In this episode of The Clink, Brent Simpson sits down with proud First Nations man and renowned Indigenous artist Brad Turner. Brent and Brad first met over 20 years ago playing rugby league on the Gold Coast. Back then, footy was life — community, culture and mateship. But when a devastating workplace injury left Brad with permanent nerve damage and the loss of movement in his hand, everything changed. The phone stopped ringing. The identity he had built around sport began to unravel. What followed was a dark and dangerous battle with depression, self-harm and the overwhelming weight of feeling lost. In this episode, Brad opens up about the lowest points of his life — the moments where he couldn’t see a way forward — and the turning points that slowly brought him back. From the unwavering strength of his wife, to rediscovering purpose through photography, fitness and ultimately art, Brad shares how he rebuilt himself one day at a time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tuesday Headlines: Albo backs removal of Andrew from royal line of succession, Coalition’s ISIS brides proposal slammed, Australia’s first bullet train could be “shovel ready” in two years, Trump Tower greenlit for the Gold Coast and punch the monkey soft toy sells out. Deep Dive: Australians are about to see a major shift in how they access pornography online, with new age-verification rules set to require users to prove they’re over 18. For Jason Blyth, the issue is deeply personal. He was first exposed to porn at just 10 years old, and what began as something secretive and normalised spiralled into addiction - one that ultimately led him to rehab at 30. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Jason about breaking a porn addiction, why many young people don’t recognise the warning signs, and whether Australia’s new age-verification laws can meaningfully curb harm.

Practice matches are done and the first real AFL Fantasy 2026 signals are on the board.In this episode, we break down the biggest pre-season practice match takeaways for keeper leagues, including role changes, usage shifts, and what actually matters heading into draft season.We deep dive into Sam Flanders' monster performance, why he already looks like a genuine 2G4P keeper-league asset, and what his role tells us about Gold Coast's midfield mix. We also analyse Connor Macdonald's midfield role, plus Connor Budarick's move into a half-back distributor role and how that impacts his fantasy ceiling.There's also much, much more player analysis in this episode as we go through every practice match from the past week, discussing all the fantasy-relevant players, emerging roles, and performances worth paying attention to — and which ones are probably noise.If you're building for the future or trying to identify early keeper league stars, this is essential listening.If you want to support the podcast and the work that goes into these episodes, becoming a member genuinely makes a huge difference.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains detailed discussion of child loss, emergency medical situations and the lived experience of a grieving mother. Please listen with care. There's a moment in every mother's life where the thing she has always named as her greatest fear… actually happens.This conversation lives in that moment, and in everything that comes after.In this episode, I sit with Megsy Ann, a mother who lost her one-year-old son, Rambo, suddenly – and chose not to collapse, numb out or disappear, but to walk herself through the darkest initiation a human can face and somehow become more loving, more powerful, and more present to life.This isn't a “bounce back” story. It's an honest and tender exploration of what grief really does to a woman's body, her faith, her family and her relationship with pleasure and power… when the worst thing you can imagine actually happens and the sun still rises the next day.We talk about:The night Rambo passed and the moment she found herself doing CPR on her own child.Creating her own rituals for his afterlife care, bringing his body home and letting her daughter say goodbye.Parenting one child on earth and one in another realm, and how grief reshaped her family.Staying connected to sensuality, intimacy and life-force in the middle of loss.What she would say to any mother who doesn't believe she can survive this.Key Timestamps00:00 – The moment every parent fears07:30 – “I realised I hadn't moved in three weeks”11:40 – The day Rambo died19:20 – Afterlife care and bringing his body home27:40 – Supporting Sunny through losing her brother34:40 – Refusing the taboo around death57:00 – Sex, pleasure and intimacy in the landscape of grief1:02:00 – A message for mothers who don't think they can survive thisConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

This week on the Christian O'Connell show, Christian and the team are on a mission to move a beach cabana from Coolangatta to Perth. They've had it on a wild adventure, traveling from the Gold Coast to Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, but now it's stuck in Adelaide. Christian's team is calling on listeners to help move the cabana, and they've had some hilarious responses, including a truckie offering to move it for $20,000. Meanwhile, Christian's sharing his thoughts on the weekend's events, from the Real Housewives of New York to his own date night plans with his wife.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this guest-hosted episode of The Andrew Gasser Show, Clay Edwards and Shaun Yurtkuran tackle Mississippi's liquor distribution crisis at the ABC warehouse, where a catastrophic backlog—stemming from a botched software rollout, the removal of an outdated conveyor system without a replacement, and a hasty switch to a pallet-based order fulfillment—has left over 200,000 cases of liquor undelivered despite prepaid orders. They explore the devastating impacts on bars, restaurants, and casinos, including tied-up capital, shrinking inventories, and potential closures or job losses in an industry that employs thousands statewide. The duo proposes short-term fixes like hotshot deliveries, scheduled will-calls, and increased manpower, while advocating for long-term privatization through distributors to remove government inefficiency. Drawing on historical roots from post-Prohibition moral codes and illegal "Gold Coast" operations, they discuss how the debacle could reshape the 2027 gubernatorial race, forcing candidates to address economic fallout and moral dilemmas in a conservative state.

What if I told you that one of the most significant demographic shifts shaping our cities, our housing markets, and even our social lives over the next few decades… isn't migration, isn't birth rates, and isn't ageing?   It's something far more personal. In today's show, Simon Kuestenmacher and I are talking about a silent revolution - the rise of the single-person household.   More Australians than ever are living alone, and it's not just retirees or Gen Zs in tiny apartments.   From the newly single at 54 to the solo 29-year-old navigating life on their terms, this trend is redrawing the blueprint of modern life and reshaping the housing market in a way most people aren't even noticing.   Our conversation highlights how modern living is evolving, with more individuals choosing to live alone and the need for appropriate housing solutions to accommodate these changes.   Takeaways   The rise of single-person households is reshaping the housing market. Younger generations are delaying traditional milestones like marriage and homeownership. Older generations are increasingly living alone due to longer life expectancies. Loneliness can have serious mental health implications for single individuals. International students contribute to the demand for single-person housing. The housing market needs to adapt to the growing number of single households. Communal living options are emerging but face management challenges. Demographic trends are crucial for understanding future housing demands. Investors must consider these demographic shifts in their strategies. The future of living arrangements will likely be more flexible and individualistic.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •         Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney     Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

British backpacker Hattie Sheppard, 21, walked into Gold Coast emergency with what she thought was a stomach flu and left 10 hours later with a healthy baby girl named Isla-Grace—having had no bump, no morning sickness, and being on the pill the entire time. Turns out the baby was growing toward her spine in what's known as a cryptic pregnancy, which affects about 1 in 2,500 pregnancies in Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want isn't the market, the economy or your upbringing... but your programming? What if your money habits, your emotional reactions and even your results as a property investor are simply the byproducts of a mindset you inherited rather than chose?   And what if you could rewrite that programming?   In today's show Tom Corley and I discuss how early life experiences shape our habits and beliefs, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, gratitude, continuous learning, and building relationships.   We also share some practical steps for changing habits and achieving personal transformation.   Takeaways   You can change your life by changing your habits. Awareness is the key to changing habits. Gratitude is a powerful reprogramming tool. Relationships are the true currency of the wealthy. Success isn't an accident; it's a result of thoughts. You have to be self-aware of your thinking. The mindset of being self-reliant is crucial. Daily reading is critical to growth. Vision boards are powerful tools; they work. When you change your habits, you change your life.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·         Win a hard copy of Rich Habits, Poor habits ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Join Michael Yardney plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

Today Ken Raiss and I reflect on the evolution of property investment over the past two decades, discussing significant changes in demographics, market conditions, and more importantly, what hasn't changed.   Because if you understand that, you'll be far better positioned to thrive in the next property cycle.   Takeaways   Investing in property requires a long-term perspective. Demographic shifts significantly influence property demand. Supply constraints are a growing challenge in the housing market. Technology is changing how we approach property investment. Intergenerational wealth transfer is becoming more common. Government regulations are impacting property investment strategies. Strategic planning is essential for successful investing. Understanding market cycles is crucial for investors. The importance of location in property investment remains unchanged. Investors need to adapt to changing market conditions.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of What Every Property Investor Needs To Know About Finance, Tax And The Law ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Join Ken Raiss and Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I examine the evolving landscape of home ownership in Australia.    For generations, owning a home has been at the heart of the Australian dream. In 1966, nearly three-quarters of Australian households owned their home, either outright or with a mortgage.   Fast-forward to the 2021 Census, and that figure had slipped to just 63 per cent.   For younger Australians, the drop has been even steeper. And while renting is far more common today, the cost of entry into home ownership has never been higher.   So what's driving this change? Is it just the market doing what markets do, or have we set ourselves on a path where home ownership becomes an exclusive club?   Takeaways   Home ownership rates have significantly declined over the decades. Demographic shifts, particularly among millennials, are impacting home ownership. Economic factors, such as income growth lagging behind housing prices, are crucial. The wealth gap between homeowners and renters is widening. Political priorities are influenced by the home ownership status of voters. Current policies may inadvertently push housing prices higher. A balanced property market is essential for economic stability. Gradual policy changes are preferred over drastic measures. The future of home ownership in Australia is uncertain without intervention. Community engagement is vital for shaping housing policies.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. ·        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Join Michael Yardney plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.
