Tommy Flanagan’s that mate who somehow knows every sporting stat, every story behind it, and somehow, he's made a career out of it.

From calling Footy as a kid to building a media career that’s seen him work with Sportsbet, overseas cricket tours and Clubby Sports, Tommy’s journey is one built on passion, persistence, and the people he surrounds himself with.

In this chat, we cover everything from footy commentary and acting gigs to life lessons learned through resilience, family, and just showing up when it counts.

If you’re chasing a career in sport, media, or content creation, or just love a good story, this one’s for you.

Ross Niven is a man of many talents, Flight Attendant and Inflight Trainer, musician, ice hockey fanatic, and devoted family man. He’s also someone I’m proud to call a dear friend.

In this deeply personal conversation, Ross opens up about his journey through grief, mental health, and personal transformation following the death of his mother. He reflects on childhood, a life altering accident, and the evolution of his identity, particularly in his role as a father.

Ross shares how the COVID-19 pandemic became both a challenge and a catalyst for growth, how therapy helped him navigate PTSD, and why he's now more intentional than ever about expressing love and presence.

This episode is a moving reflection on healing, spirituality, and what truly matters in the face of loss.
