#164 - Augusto Vegas: Breath holding specialist, free-diver, spear-fisher and waterman.
Terrible. Happy
08/13/22 • 53 min
As much as I love recording in Bali, it has it's challenges. It feels that nowhere is safe from the screeching sounds of an angle-grinder, loud motor bike, barking dog, or in this case a generator from a large truck pumping water. Half way into this episode there is some pretty significant background noise. I did my best to 'soften' it in editing, however, I've never been the best audio engineer...however, Augusto's words and messages are clear and easy to understand. An enjoyable episode, filmed and recorded on the roof-top terrace of Mana Restaurant in Uluwatu in Bali, as a 6-8 foot swell unloaded across that mystical stretch of reef. Augusto and I check-in, talk breath-holding, managing stress under duress, his Peruvian roots, free-diving experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.
Astungkara,
Shan

#240 - Cary Pogson: The Omni Boards Story.
Terrible. Happy
10/12/24 • 122 min
From crafting surfboards in his parents’ West Pennant Hills garage, to becoming a renowned skateboard manufacturer with his brand Omni Boards, Cary Pogson takes us on an extraordinary journey through his life so far. Alongside this week's co-host, and journalist, Jim Turvey, we explore Cary's passion for supporting local skateboarders and his commitment to preserving Australian manufacturing in the face of global competition.
Cary breaks down the craftsmanship involved in skateboard production, emphasising the importance of quality materials and the balance between traditional methods and modern techniques. Cary candidly shares the lessons learned from producing boards for other brands and his journey back to reviving the Omni brand once again.
We reflect on his challenges and triumphs. Cary highlights his ongoing efforts to nurture the next generation of skaters as a key motivation for the vision of Omni.
Cary and the Omni Boards legacy is vast. It is one of dedication to craft, community and culture, a reminder that passion holds more value than profit. Always.
Enjoy,
Shan

#170 - Tyler Farnham: Near fatal skydive survivor.
Terrible. Happy
10/07/22 • 85 min
Tyler Farnham is a parachuting enthusiast, surf instructor, author, public speaker, surrogate father, lifeguard, and Florida expat. On the eve of his 26th birthday, Tyler's worst nightmare came true...his parachute failed to open during a recreational sky dive, spiralling so fast that the centrifugal force rendered him unconscious and unable to release his emergency parachute. To add to the drama, his mother was at the scene watching as her son fell, to what was assumed to be, his imminent death. In this week's episode, Tyler re-counts his story of survival on that day, his subsequent addiction to pain medication whilst recovering from horrific injury, and much much more. Sincere, kind and deeply passionate about life, Tyler truly is a rad human.
Every day is a gift.

#29 - Esther Milanzi (Ubuntu): Radiating bread crumbs
Terrible. Happy
11/17/19 • 116 min
Esther Milanzi (Ubuntu) is a creative writer, educator, traveler, wife to her husband Angelo and someone who radiates bread-crumbs for other creatives. She is the co-founder of the Surat Warrior Writers group in Thailand, she conducts weekly creative writing workshops and writer’s groups here in Bali, she is passionate about building a community of creatives and cultivating alternative ways for people to connect (other than just partying). Esther is currently a superstar educator at the globally recognised Green School, Bali. She is a black South African and half Caucasian American who has spent most of her life in America with her mother and two sisters. Esther was estranged from her biological father who was deported from the USA when she was three years old. The opportunity to visit the birthplace of humanity (Africa) arrived after she finished graduate school from Florida State University with a degree in International Education Development. Esther was then awarded a Fulbright grant to teach leadership and literacy skills at a FET college in Vereeniging, South Africa, an Afrikaans town forty minutes south of Johannesburg. Esther’s traveling experiences (and blogging while doing so), became an unintentional journal of her healing journey, it has helped her to develop a deeper understanding of the post-apartheid racial climate, and it has given her a sense of closure after visiting her father’s gravesite (twenty-three years later). Esther’s travel journey of self-realisation also led her to meeting her paternal family (including a younger brother and sister). It was with this connection that she received, from her cousin, her South African name Ubuntu; meaning humanity. In this week’s episode, Esther is with me to share her experiences, challenges, strength, and hopes for the future.

Terrible. Happy
10/11/22 • 62 min
Luke Cederman is the host of the satirical creative endeavour; The Raglan Surf Report. Avid surfer, podcaster, short film-maker, and observer of all things pop culture, surf culture and beyond, Luke sits down for a chat with myself and this week's guest co-host, Mr Tim Morris, at Tim's home in Uluwatu, Bali. Luke discusses the difference between a "surfer" and a "surfey", poor surf etiquette, why comedy is a good way to highlight serious issues, his life growing up in Raglan New Zealand, and his distinct lack of childhood trauma. He is a humble, undercover genius, and I loved talking to him whilst he sweat all over my equipment.

#51 - Kristyan Stjerne: Balancing future primitive.
Terrible. Happy
04/18/20 • 123 min
Kristyan Stjerne is a surfer, yogi, artist and a calming presence in pandemic times. Kristyan divides his time between California and Bali, making art, maintaining his yoga practice and connecting with the ocean. Kristyan finds his spiritual home in Uluwatu Bali, which is where we recorded this episode...sitting on the cliffs of the Bukit peninsula, listening to the sounds of the Indian Ocean bouncing waves off the reef. Uluwatu has always felt like a sacred place for me (like many) and to record a podcast in this location was a profound moment for me. Like Kristyan said to me recently "It is a sacred place for sacred souls".
When you spend time with Kristyan, you realise very quickly that you are in the presence of a deeply conscious human of a high frequency. You feel safe from judgement or ridicule when you are around him. Kindness, gratitude and empathy radiate. I am grateful our paths aligned so this conversation could take place. For me, there was some real healing that came out of our discussion both on and off record (who spoke for another hour or two after the show).
In this week's episode, Kristyan is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.
