Chris Gooden is the owner of the infamous Seddon Deadly Sins cafe in Seddon, Victoria, but what most people don't know is the incredible story of the man who will travel to the other side of Australia, just to help people out.
He's supported Aussie athletes at international competition, volunteered at crisis accomodation, spearheaded massive social change, and was awarded the Citizen of The Year award.
You won't find a stronger advocate for the causes he believes in.
Chris's energy is contagious, and inspiring, and will make you feel a little bit better about the world, knowing there are warriors out there like him fighting the good fight for causes like gay rights, homelessness, and even the wellbeing of young families
This is a story that keeps unfolding all the way to the end.

Send us a text

John Ng - is more than just a previous citizen of the year, or the many billboards you see him on.
He's a self made man, who migrated to Australia chasing love and dreams of a better life.
After finally getting citizenship and gaining full time employment, he became disenchanted with his job and all the moral issues that go hand in hand with working for a big 4 bank, John decided to create his own business so he could give people things they actually need.
He also created the Humans of SKY and The Inner West Facebook page, and proceeded to tell the stories of hundreds of locals, including migrants and underrepresented minorities.
We get to know the real John Ng in this episode, gaining an insight into the challenges that migrants face, coming to Australia.
