Payam experienced an awareness of his own source before the age of 10. Growing up in a scenario that developed an art of creating order from chaos - this deeply curious soul now brings unity to where there is chaos. He displayed this at a young age when he courageously confronted an abusive martial arts instructor and brought him from abuse to tears.
A natural entrepreneur - he was the ‘candy man’ selling candy to his school peers with a 50% profit and the journey of entrepreneurship continues today.
Payam has an education in computer science and electrical engineering and immersed in the study of 0 to 1 building computer programs from this knowledge. He summarises this education as the study of energy and movement of energy that is software.
Life became even more interesting 2 and a half years ago when his daily journaling practice led him to delve even deeper into this ‘energy’ and the word ‘light’ appeared….

Ryan had massive success as a professional rugby player throughout the 90’s and early 2000s, both nationally and internationally including helping Australia dominate on the world stage.
He set many records throughout his career including the most goals and most points scored per match, and he was the first player to score 100 tries and kick 500 goals in the National Rugby League. Ryan wasn't a party boy, reckless rock & roller that was typical of NRL and AFL players of his era.
After he exited playing rugby, he set up four very cool and successful cafes in the northern beaches of Sydney and carved a successful career in television and radio. Clearly, he had the guidance of a very bright North star which he follows to this day.
Exciting times ahead for this lad as he is embarking on a new journey which I'm very keen to discuss and explore.
Today we are speaking with the legendary Tom Carroll, a surfing icon renowned for his two World Titles and induction into three Sporting Halls of Fame.
While many know him for his professional achievements, Tom's true essence lies in his unwavering humility and genuine desire to uplift others. Behind the public figure is a complex soul, a perpetual seeker of life's deeper meaning, and a man who has faced profound personal challenges.
Through it all, Tom found solace and transformation through meditation, a practice that continues to shape his inner and outer worlds. I really look forward to finding out more about Tom's journey, his triumphs, how he got through the tough times and the profound impact of meditation on his life.

Today we are speaking with Bill Markelis, a man who has been on the other side of consciousness. He was a breath away from death, but it was not his time to leave. On the 16th of October 2021 the trajectory of Bill’s life changed forever. He's joining us to share his fascinating story, especially where he went and what he discovered during his five weeks in a coma after an horrific motorcycle accident. This is one amazing redemption story of a man who was once on a wayward path, but who's life purpose is now crystal clear.
You know the times when you meet someone and you walk away from the exchange feeling fantastic and with a joyful spring in your step? We have one of these rare humans with us today. His name is Ricky Smith. Ricky is what I call a ‘Stealth Entrepreneur’.
He is not one of those big, loud, in your face ‘go hard or go home’ successful guys. He is a quietly spoken soul who has the knack of seeing and then acting on a great opportunity that most people miss. His main business is Fitness, as a Personal Trainer and gym owner, but he is also involved in property investment and hairdressing… and we will probably find out more today that he hasn't told us about.
With Isaac today is Ash Bodhi, the founder of Divine Alchemy Yoga. Ash is a deeply soulful Yoga teacher and he also works with Shamanic healing practices. This involves building a conscious relationship with Sacred Plant Medicines for the purpose of deep healing and spiritual growth. He matches this with Guided Breathwork, Meditation, Sound Healing and Cold water and ice bath therapy. He is a leader who seeks to impart his knowledge to his clients so they can build their own practices that they can easily integrate into their lives. Ash uses a combination of these practices to help people heal on a deep level so they can move into spiritual growth and expansion of consciousness with as much grace and ease as possible.

In Episode 26 we spoke with Dr George Muchniki to discover his cutting genetic testing protocol while revealing his vision of the new pataient being the healthy patient.
Isaac and Tink received a Genetic Test Kit and today we reveal the results and what they truly mean!
This conversation led to many deeper conversations about preventative medicine you must hear for your own longevity...
Isaac talks about THE secret to the Fountain of Youth with the latest science and his personal experience of ‘ageing young’. In his words, “I am stronger, fitter and more mobile today than I was at age 20.” But the physical is the by-product of connection, first with my inner self, and from there my genuine and authentic connection with others.
We are joined today by Craig Trinder - Superbike Champion. His career as a rider spanned 5 decades but nearly ended at age 18 when he hit a wall at 120kph.

We will learn how he healed himself from this battered body and as a result of a surprise healing, was able to share his discovery and help millions of people across the world.
Today we are in conversation with Luke Bailey. Luke and his wife Melissa were at the pinnacle of their advertising careers in New York when they were faced with a situation that no parent would ever want to experience. They had a child who was a victim of malpractice leaving her with severe Cerebral Palsy . Although their daughter was blind, deaf, paralysed and unable to speak, she ending up having a profound effect on their lives. I have asked Luke to share the gifts of wisdom he learnt on this amazing ten year journey with their daughter Jade.This incredible story takes us from New York to Los Angeles, then to Bali. There is a sacred moment on top of Mount Everest… and other magical moments that we can all learn from .
Our guest today, athlete, James Newbury in 2019, due to his World CrossFit success, was named the fifth fittest man on earth. He is also extremely resilient as seen by a mountain biking accident that landed him in hospital, badly injured, five weeks before competing in a full distance Ironman triathlon. In this accident he was slammed into a tree resulting in a punctured lung, two cracked vertebrae and two broken ribs and told he would need 6 to 8 weeks to recover. We will learn how James was able to not only recover, but complete the triathlon in just over 10 hours. Nutrition is of the utmost importance to James. We will talk to him about his chosen way of eating that may surprise some people and also his amazing supplement range.
MUST LISTEN: Our favourite genius - Jonathan MacDonald - is back! We take the conversation in a HUGELY relevant direction that everyone MUST hear. This topic will impact every single one of you and it was the most profound conversation we have had to date. It was chilling, shocking, enlightening and exciting to say the least!
Liziana Carter came to Australia from Romania with little, her marriage ended soon after, and she had to navigate getting work, staying fit and healthy and bringing up her young daughter.
In alignment with the saying, “success leaves clues” we felt compelled to have Liz on our podcast. This is not just a rags to riches story… it is so much more than just business success. It's a true inspiration and a story of tenacity meeting intention.

Are you an overachiever, over-doer, can’t sit still kind of person? This is a great asset however the challenge us high achievers have is slowing down…something most have mastered but we’re so active we have trouble just shutting our brain off let alone resting. Here’s a few reasons why doing less may become the answer to your health concerns.
We talk about the books we’ve read that have literally changed the way we view life. Books are a powerful tool we can use to establish a new perspective. Even if it’s one thing you get out of it, that may be enough to change your future!

Our guest today is Shaun Baldwin, a man who has looked death in the face several times, and has bounced back, healthier fitter, stronger than ever. He has done a lot in his 55 years on the planet, including three decades in the fitness industry travelling across the globe as a master trainer for Les Mills, competing at the Commonwealth Games, and marrying Australia's only ever Silver medallist in gymnastics, Ji Wallace. A serial entrepreneur he is now working in the regenerative medicine space with orthopaedic and plastic surgeons, which Tink and I delve in and WOW...what an incredible conversation!
Dave Bentley has reached the big 5.0 and is feeling the physical effects of building a construction business for the past 20 years of his life. He's reached a point of needing to choose his mobility and health over work. In this episode we discuss the all too familiar journey of building a physically demanding business, the impact on health and mobility and the choices you have to correct course.
Darren Bruce is a human optimisation coach. He's been a personal trainer for the last two decades, but PT is far too small a description of what this man does.
He has spent time in the Air Force in leadership training and military self defence including combat and fitness training. He has a wonderfully holistic approach in that he addresses a persons whole being, not just a physical.
His coaching is now very much focused on human relationships, beginning with the relationship one has with oneself. Love this … such wisdom. He has a very heart-centred and altruistic approach to life which I have personally witnessed. So happy he's joined us today to share his wisdom.

I first met today’s guest, Joanne Lipinski, over 30 years ago when I was a newby personal trainer and she was a pharmacist. She has evolved her knowledge and is now a qualified Naturopath with a very successful practice in Melbourne. What I love about Joanne's approach is that she is so holistic, and also very science-based, using testing protocols and also her intuition and experience to get to the source of her patients’ challenges rather than just treating symptoms. She is one of the most caring people I know, and very gentle in her approach, yet, at the same time, presents necessary truths to help people to see that change is needed in order to heal. She lives what she teaches as you will see by the photo that she looks amazing young for a woman over 60.

Isaac has already revealed the number one secret to a long healthy life is social integration. This means we benefit from integrating with all generations including the terrifying world of teenagers! Would you want to be a teenager in the age of social media and relentless peer pressure? Here's a brilliant conversation with Molly Bentley - a 17 year old fan of Age Rebels. I think you will find this an incredibly interesting conversation delving into the mindset of our youth and finding aspects to understand and relate to...
Finbar O Hanlon - tech genius and musician shares his passion for AI and the reasons it WILL set you free.

Isaac and Tink have literally delved into the world of healing on almost every level by trying it out themselves...BUT...in this episode...you will discover that their most profound healings came from the most unexpected experiences and many of them...were 100% unplanned!
With us today, all the way from the UK, is Michelle Donald. She is an Accredited Psychosexual Therapist and a senior member of the College Of Sex and Relationship Therapists. Michelle’s expertise is in the areas of sexual issues related to spinal cord injury and the strains on a relationship that such an injury may bring with it. She has first hand knowledge of this after a motorbike accident at age 27 made her a paraplegic. Now, at age 53, she brings not only a world of knowledge, but heartfelt wisdom in dealing with a subject, from her experience, was awkwardly avoided.
This one starts off super emotional with Isaacs surprise moment that caused him to become a little speechless...a rare moment indeed! lol
This is part two as when Gaby was our guest in a previous podcast it was kind of like a drive-by hug. So we got a back on to share the rest of her wisdom and quirky ways. Listen to episode 22 to get up to speed to where we are now with our conversation with Gaby. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5jxa4RhSgLZRIJv6XQ5r1Q?si=Ns3O8ay0SXW3xCcIMoDMKQ
In this episode, Age Rebel Gabrielle Rogers will share with us more incredible information about the voice and how it impacts us in all areas of our lives...something we never thing of or 'speak' of. Why weren't we taught this earlier and why are our youth not taught? We also learn about the two favourite movie sets Gaby has worked on and the reason it was NOT as glamorous as it may seem...and...we unveil Gaby's newest project and the tragedy that brought about this divinely guided project.
With us today is Global Wellness guru, Grant Gamble. He is currently CEO of a Alliance Wellness Group, and is also helping to develop a series of innovative wellness campuses on the East Coast of Australia. His journey to this current point began in the trenches of the fitness industry 35 years ago, doing every job from taking aerobics classes to cleaning. This man has truly earned his stripes and deserves all the success he has achieved so far. His success has been due to the mantra he lives by in life and in business: People First. He has the proven formula for organisations to have their team love what they do, and in turn grow the business. Grant has been directly or indirectly responsible for helping hundreds of thousands of people across the globe find their happy healthy place.
The king of resilience, James Newman, is our guest today. Currently he works in the world of finance, brokering multi-million dollar deals for very happy customers. James’ life journey is absolutely fascinating, filled with huge highs and devastating lows. His career started as a dancer, spending ten years with the Australian Ballet and he spent the next 30 years traversing the globe imparting his wisdom in real estate, and then media, having worked for Fairfax Media in Australia for 10 years, Hardie Grant publishing and major publishing companies in South America, the UK & Canada.
He also attained a psychology degree along the way, and is a certified Resilience Practitioner. But the bottom fell out of his world when he got stuck in Mexico when the world shut down in 2020 and couldn’t get home to his terminally ill father for 2 years. But nothing can keep this man down. Strap yourself in for this one, as it's going to be a wild ride, and you'll take with you inspiration and tools to live your fullest life, regardless of the obstacles and setbacks.
There are about 50 adjectives that, I, and many others have used to describe our guest today, Debra Tegoni. Here are a few - Genius smart with a razor sharp intellect - she won corporate lawyer of the year in 2014, achieved her MBA here and in the USA; immense generosity of spirit with a heart the size of planet Jupiter - regardless of the intense demand of her job and family life, she always takes time to be genuinely present with people; and she is graciously humble - when we asked her to come on the podcast as she has so much valuable knowledge and life experience to share, to my surprise, she said, “What have I got to offer?”
Now at age 55, Deb has recently transitioned from gun corporate lawyer to Boutique Villa owner and Yoga Master.
Mark Mathie is the owner of one of the Gold Coasts most successful gyms. His gym is actually my second home. He has built an incredible community of people and implements a ‘no dickhead policy’ to ensure it is a positive, supportive environment for all members.
Mark is a straight shooter, a country boy, is an ex NRL player, was a personal trainer to A list celebrities like Edge from U2 and Elle MacPhearson. Yet he doesn't mince his words. He is known to be a controversial character who says what everyone is thinking but is too scared to say. It’s one of my favourite things about Mark.
He also is known for his life-changing talks on mental health. Mark has a personal story that will blow your mind and a no bullshit policy that will change the way you view mental health and suicide.
Hold on to your seat because this episode is sure to have your jaw on the floor.

Our guest today is Dr George Muchnicki. He is the Executive Director & Chief Medical Officer for Genetic Technologies, a world leader in genetic risk assessment. He strongly advocates for curing cancer through early detection. He was central in developing testing that combined inherited and non-inherited risk under one umbrella with a focus on major causes of morbidity and mortality in Oncology, Metabolic and Cardiac diseases.
This conversation reveals modern medicine being the one where the new patient is the healthy patient. This has been a long time coming and we absolutely love Dr Muchnicki's perspective that in current medicine "Passion is replaced with Process"....
A great conversation!
The age of 60 with the vitality of 40…today we speak with Deryn Rowe - an in demand horse masseur and a true Australian horse whisperer. A little over 14 years ago, Deryn changed careers from a highly successful aerobics competitor Pilates studio owner and personal trainer to massage therapy for horses, especially racehorses. About eight years ago I spent a full day with Deryn watching her do her magic.
I witnessed close up such intimate connection between Deryn and the horses she was working with. They were always so happy to see her, and they expressed their love and gratitude in the most quirky and gorgeous ways.
Horses are fascinating and their power can intimidate the strongest of men…we can’t wait to find out how Deryn can calm the most volatile beast just with her presence….
You can find Deryn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stridesaheadequinemassage/

Be inspired by the story of Jennifer Grieve who did just this...
20 years later...she's back in Australia, living her dream with a plethora of world travel and adventure under her belt.
Jennifer is a true force to be reckoned with, having recently taken up ocean sailing, yep, none of this mamby-pamby day-trip stuff for this full-of-energy 61-year-old. She is a true Age Rebel, having designed her dream life, and is now living it.
Our guest today is Mark Hodge. You would have seen him in the first two seasons of dancing with the stars, helping Gabrielle Richens and Holly Brisley get their game on. He was one of the lead dancers in movies such as Baz Luhrman’s Moulin Rouge. He has worked internationally as a model, choreographer and in several styles of dance, including the iconic West Side story, was six times Latin and Ballroom champion, and 2 years with the Australian Ballet Company. The decades of dancing took a huge toll on his body, which required several major surgeries to repair, but he has come out the other side, strong and fit. Now, at the age of 57, he is a shining example of an Age Rebel, a man who is clearly defying his numbers.
What a conversation! Ian went from suicidal to literally turned the housing problem on its head as well as becoming a national expert and advisor. His story is incredibly compelling, vulnerable, raw and honest. This is one serious deep dive into what it takes to win in life financially, mentally and physically.
You know those times when you meet a person and they literally blows your socks off and you could just sit and listen to them speak all day? Well Gabrielle Rogers IS that person for Isaac and Tink. She is the most delicious conversationalist with an incredible career story. She is hilarious, profound, compelling and captivating in this delightful, sexy conversation. In this episode you will discover the experience we had working with Gabrielle and why you need to take at least one acting vocal class in your lifetime...
Lesley is the founder of Living Prana and a movement and mindfulness facilitator and retreat host.
She is a glowing example of health and vitality but it wasn’t always that way. Lesley has recently shared her powerful story of living in a Domestic Violence shelter while she commenced her yoga journey by attending a style of yoga that was traditionally for young boys preparing for battle
Yoga became Lesley’s life line. It gave her strength when she had none. Clarity in a clouded and confused state. Deep peace when she needed to feel safe and free. The practice positively snowballed into many other methods all reclaiming who she was — and relinquishing who she was not.
Lesley now teaches others how to do the same and she is my personal yoga instructor taking me through sessions to down-regulate my nervous system and transport me into a moving meditation. It’s remarkable!
You can find Lesley on Instagram @_livingprana_ and facebook
Jonathan’s book “Powered By Change“ became a Sunday Times Bestseller and won the 2019 UK Business Book Awards. The book introduces ‘The Windmill Theory’, demonstrating how businesses can be designed for perpetual success.

The challenge - how to stay calm amongst the ever increasing world noise
You can only give your best to others when you are calm, nourished and at peace yourself. This can be an immense challenge with so much World Noise. What I mean by World Noise is not just auditory, but all of the information that bombards us, all of our senses, and that we take in passively each day without even knowing it.
