HORSES MOUTH

Jamie Powell 
I first met Jamie Powell at the Jan Juc Boardriders many moons ago, He told me He like the Horses Mouth so I instantly liked him, it was 3 to 4 ft wild onshore day and He was in my first heat, it was one of those surfs where its hard to see where people are sitting and what they are doing, bit of a washing machine, I managed to see him take off on one and watched him race a section and boost a nice punt, and I thought fuck! who the fuck is this guy. 
Jamie is a musician and is in the band 3 Humps on Spotify...check em out they rock !...by day he's a civil engineer who works super hard and knows how to grind it out and when he's finished with work ( by night ) he's a rogue underground slab hunter, forever on a mission to jag a cooking left. This podcast is bit of a two-part series, All business up front and party at the back. 
I admire the way Jamie gets about and gets it done
Thanks heaps for coming over Jamie Powell 
Yeeeew 

Gerard Black is such a wonderful human, I feel honored to have had a Yak with the great man. 
I do love talking to an artist, but especially when they are so connected to land and lineage, there is a real awareness Gerard carries. 
Gerard is originally from Worimi Country Newcastle area But has spent most of his time on Wadawurrung land around Torquay, till his latest shift a bit further west.
Gerard's art can be found far and wide, to name but a few - Geelong Art Centre, Newcastle Knights jersey, The Australian Open, Xavier Rudd, Patagonia, and on Bodys alike as he and his wife also have a Tidal Tattoo in Torquay.
I loved having a yak with Gerard - I hope you enjoy 
Cheers Geeeeerrrraaarrd.

Eva hails originally from Sweden but San Fransico is home,  She's an awesome human, driven and on a mission to help others while enjoying her own peace of mind, it hasn't always been this way !!!  we are lucky to have her here in Australia at the moment, and I'm super lucky our lives crossed paths! She's so straight up, authentic, and warm and is doing her best to help people change their lives and move through whatever blocks that may be holding them back.
She's had over 30 years in the field of helping and educating people to heal on a multitude of levels but truly loves Somatic healing. I really enjoyed chatting with her. I hope you enjoy our chat.

Robbo hails from the deep southwest of Victoria, yup the hairdresser murder town of Portland, it's a tough old Victorian town that has shaped Robbo you might say, He's one of those guys, head down and gets about his business, And he's in the business of destroying waves, if fact he's so good at doing so that he very nearly won Bells Beach WCT event in 2009 coming through from a wild card with fire in the belly to be pipped at the post by mr smooth Joel Parkinson  - more will be revealed -, His knowledge of destroying waves also had him voted Australian Surf Coach of the year in 2021, huge accomplishment and honor when you think how many surfers and coaches there are on our gigantic island home, he's currently CEO of Surfing Victoria loves his job and family and was an honor to have as a guest in the Horses Mouth 
Thanks, Robbo 

Hi There and thanks for Tuning in, This Episode I talk with Graeme Stockton, Graeme is the real deal when it comes to walking the walk. He does so much behind the scenes to care for the land we live and love on! He is a super-intelligent human who is so intune with the Natural world we tramps around on, he cares so much for the natural world and the Symbios it represents to humanity and our plight. Think Global Act Local is Graeme to a Tee. 
As we press on and heat up I think these conversations are paramount !
I hope you enjoy our chat 
Thanks Graeme 

Xavier Morello is one of those guys, I like bumping into, He is a family man, who's always up to something and always has something funny to talk about. 
He's always on a family adventure of some sort, mold certainly doesn't grow under the Morello's feet or he's driving around in a hugely pimped and colorful Wildlife Xposure van - a Bit of a local Steve Irwin you might say ! quite enthusiastic like Steve too !!! 
We chat in the surf a lot and Xav is always up for a creative yarn, he's got a wide scope of intelligence and intuition and often leaves me scratching my head --- But I didn't quite know exactly what he was doing with all the animals I'd see him with in pictures on the social medias, So I thought what better opportunity than to get him in for a chat on Horses Mouth! So chat it up we did!
I hope you enjoy our yarn and idle through Xav's life with a few laughs along the way !
Thanks Xav 

Sean Doherty is a journalist, surfer, father, partner, corporate watchdog, owner of Surfing World magazine ( now longest running Australian surfing mag ), head of brand engagement at Patagonia Australia, he's chairperson at Surfrider Foundation Australia, he's seriously a force, with close to 50k followers @seano888 Instagram he's a real pain in the ass if you're in the fossil fuel industry or a politician who's not got our best interests at heart. Seans is a real humanitarian - who really cares about the planet we inhabit and our connection to it, and I love talking to him, the cut of his jib is no bullshit and stands behind his words. 
I hope you enjoy our chat 
Cheer again Sean

Mark Willett is a dude whos been on one hell of a ride ! literally and figuratively.
Such a great guy is Mark, I met Mark through surfing and chatting at 13th Beach and have kept in touch ever since., He's been a super supportive person to me on my journey with Horse's Mouth which I just love. Helps keep me inspired. 
During this chat Mark tells me about his growing up and how in a way following his heart and finding a life on and around the ocean has given him a life beyond his wildest dreams, He's surfed all over the world and been  / still is a professional sailor who's raced sailboats around the globe, in waters and storms that'd have you wishing you were curled up at the feet of your parent's bed wishing it was just a bad dream! Alas it isn't and you gotta pony up ( my words not his ) 
Mark, Mick Sowry, and Jock Serong have an amazing magazine called Great Ocean it truly is a beautiful publication 
This one will be a blockbuster, showcasing the Great Southern Reef alongside all those regular GOQ morsels of deliciousness: Featured Feathers and Fins, the Church of The Open Sky, Bandini, Mislaid Books and more.
