Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today I am joined by Pro surfer Cooper Chapman.

Cooper recently had me on his podcast called Good Humans, and we really connected so I invited him onto the show.

Cooper is a professional surfer and has been surfing since he was 10 years old. Having achieved incredible results as a surfer he also runs a company called the good human factory and focuses on providing mental health education to young Australians via school workshops.

In this conversation we discuss Cooper's upbringing as a pro surfer in Australia, why he got into mental health education, the importance of meditation, gratitude, getting out of your comfort zone and how to sharpen your claws every-time you get knocked down. And of course much much more.

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and today’s episode is all about how to find your identity.

In my opinion this is literally one of the most important things you can do in your 20’s and this conversation was amazing. I just finished editing it and hearing it for a second time it was even better so I am so excited to share this conversation with you.

Today I am joined by Forensic Psychologist Alison Cullen. Alison is an experienced psychologist who not only works in the field but also runs her own company. Her work involves Providing clinical intervention as well as reports for criminal matters (including psychological sentencing, management of offenders, fitness to plea/competency to stand trial and mental status at the time of offence), civil matters as well as child protection matters.

And todays episode is all about finding your identity. I really think this is one of the most important episodes I have done, this opened up so many thoughts and ideas for me personally, we make it super practical as well.

I won’t say anything else because I want you to experience it the same way I did as a host.

This is a bit of a different style that what you might be used to, it is a super casual chat. Probably less educational but it is a bit of a behind the scenes to what it is like working as a full time creator on TikTok.

So Olan is from the UK, he is an ex pro football player ( or soccer) and now he coaches younger footballers and has become a personality in Australian sports, interviewing, reacting and commentating. He talks about the differences between the Uk and Australia, reacts to reality TV shows and much more.

This chat is super casual, we discuss a lot about TikTok, how we both create content, how to deal with hate comments, cancel culture, Aussie culture and so much other stuff.

I should say there is more swearing than usual in this episode, but the conversation is still mature, I really loved this episode, I had a lot of fun with it and hopefully you enjoy listening.

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and today I am joined by Michelle Kevill.

Michelle has been following the show for a while now and reached out and I ended up invited her on the podcast.

Michelle works in corporate and is very good at what she does but that isn’t really apart of todays conversation. Michelle came on to share her story of working hard, becoming successful in the eyes of society and how this lead to her burning out, losing everything and almost becoming suicidal.

In her spare time she does one on one coaching and in this episode we explore important questions such as:

So what’s the deal why do we feel this way ?

Why are we working so hard and feeling like it’s never enough ?

Why are we burning out ?

Why are we thinking we should be happy living what looks like a great life but feeling stuck and out of place?

Why do we feel so insecure ?

Why do we need to please everyone ?

As per usual please DM me on instagram if you enjoy the show, your messages mean the world to me and please consider leaving a review or rating on Spotify or Apple podcast, whichever platform you use.

Toady I am joined by Katrina Iannella. Katrina and I met through a mutual friend and she has been supporting myself and my friends and helping us ever since. She is incredibly smart, hard working and recently moved to America with her boy friend baron.

Show notes

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and this is a very special episode because it is episode 100 of the show.

I never knew if this podcast was last when I started it, especially because each episode is filmed in person and takes man hours each week, but here we are 2 years and 100 episodes later. Thank you to everyone who listens and supports the show, and thank you to anyone who has ever reached out to DM’d me.

This episode I am joined by an absolute legend Sam Fricker. Sam is a 19 year old olympic diver who completed at the 2020 olympic games and has built a following of over 1.2 million followers on tiktok.

He very much lives and breathes the ethos of this show and I am very proud to have him as my 100th guest.

In this episode we talk about how Sam became an athlete, how her got into diving, his journey making content since he was a kid and how that helped him grow his brand, what he does day to day, how he sets and achieves goals, what it was like at the 2020 olympics and so much more.
