Ben Moore is an apiarist [AY] + [PEE] + [UH] + [RIST] (which is the fancy name for a Beekeeper), environmentalist, father, food-lover and owner of Ben's Bees. 🐝 🍯Being exposed to nature and farming from an early age, and with three decades of experience behind him, Ben started Ben’s Bees in 2008.Since then, Ben has been very “buzzy” expanding his hive of industry and crosspollinating beekeeping, honey production, safe rehoming of bee colonies - not to mention “swarming” the world with his dedication to advocacy, education and mentoring.With a focus on ethical and natural beekeeping practices, Ben is committed to educating the community about bees and their vital connection to the environment and our everyday lives.Ben joined me on Sunday, 16 December for a stinger of a show - covering all the many things about his bee-liefs, well-beeing and many other bee-hiviours.

According to evolutionary psychology, human beings are motivated to engage in behaviours that maximize their genetic fitness. One could also say that every decision we make is guided by some form of motivation. In more recent times, research tells us that boredom, stress, burnout, feeling overwhelmed, and a lack of clear goals can lead to a lack of motivation.Felix Blackler, however, became so motivated by motivation that he bought the only scientific tool that measures motivation, to Australia. Founder of leading HR consultancy Xperience, Felix launched the The Reiss Motivation Profile® almost three years ago has a lot to say about its positive impact on people packed places here. He joined me on air for a couple of hours, describing what inspired him into the space of motivation and of course, what it feels like, being him … plus so much more.

9 MEN DIE FROM PROSTATE CANCER EVERY DAY, here in Australia .......and there are more than 200,000 living with the diagnosis.CEO of Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre, Mark Harrison has been leading their charge for the past 9 years and knows, only too well, the challenges in gaining support and recognition for this oftentimes, preventable, MALE EXCLUSIVE disease.The Australian Prostate Centre was established in 2012, initially as a research facility, dedicated to advancing research into treatment and a cure for prostate cancer. In 2014, they opened the doors of the APC clinic and have since treated over 18,000 men, without any Australian Government funding - relying on a small number of dedicated philanthropic supporters and partners to drive the cause. It’s undeniable that the APC’s work is significant and could contribute to so many more lifesaving outcomes, with proper support, validation, investment and recognition from our country’s leaders.Mark’s joined me at the 3WBC studios, to paint a clearer picture around the myths, facts and possibilities relating to prostate cancer here in Australia and around the world. He also spoke about the upcoming activities relating to RULE Prostate Cancer, which was established by the Australian Prostate Centre and the E.J. Whitten Foundation. They joined forces back in 2021 to protect more Aussie Legends in the fight against prostate cancer. https://www.ruleprostatecancer.org.au/https://www.australianprostatecentre.org.au/#prostatecancer #menshealth #funding #policy #malesuicide #governmentfunding #mensmentalhealth #erectiledysfunction #incontinence #masculinity Kate Hatton Travis Strong

It's not often you’ll find an inspiring leader, sensational storyteller, accomplished artist and creative writer all rolled into one. 😀.

Those who know my work, will be familiar with the sentiment "Be kind, be caring and don't be a @*!#$ - it could be lifesaving" 😍.In April 2023 I was feeling pretty jazzed, speaking with Josh Reid Jones live, on air at 94.1FM 3WBC. He's a truly remarkable human who's dedicated a life to helping people into just being nice 🥰. A social impact dynamo, Josh's early life was marked by poverty, violence, and challenging circumstances which, in time, inspired his creation of the The Just Be Nice Project, which, very simply, aims to change the way people help people 👩‍❤️‍👨.Josh didn't hold back telling about social impact, positive change, equality of opportunity and of course, what if feels like, being Josh Reid Jones.

Lisa Sharpe began stand-up comedy, only 5 years ago, at the tender age of 48. She'd finally created a platform for her voice and storytelling gift that she says has been influenced by her late and larger than life, Dad. 💕She has since, become well known around Australia, for her hilarious anecdotal comedic presence, supporting well-knowns and selling out many events as the headline performer. She has been described as honest, gritty, humorous, warm, charming and ever surprising.During the show, Lisa trundled us through an impressive career trajectory, paying humble homage to her many influences, including her dear dad and Aussie Icon, Judith Lucy – leaving no doubt that her later in life foray into the world of comedy was a path she was destined for.Lisa made us feel like we were on the north coast of NSW as she described growing up in the sleepy town of Ballina (which is also home to the Big Prawn) and everything that led her to the industry of “funny business”.Laughter, some tears and a few risqué moments, I had an absolute ball, laughing along with Lisa and hearing what it feels like …. being her. #comedy #careerchange #womenincomedy #standupcomedy #femalecomedians #mentalhealth #womenshealth

He claims to make the best cheeseburgers in Albert Park, and have a massive boy crush on edgy pop singer, Pink - but this guy is iconic for many other reasons 😊Known fondly, by many, as ‘The Doc’, Dr Peter Larkins is a Melbourne legend when it comes to sports medicine and his many roles in the media. Born and bred in Geelong, young boy Larkins was a school athletic superstar who never cooled his heels and went on to represent Australia in the steeplechase at the 1976 Summer Olympics, 1982 Commonwealth Games and the 1981 World Cup. In his spare time, Doctor Larkins managed to collect a few degrees - an honours in medical science as well as Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery – later travelling the world to study sports medicine and then set up a private practice in the 1980s.Many things led to numerous others, and it was back in 1996 when fellow legend, Eddie McGuire rang to say “I’m doing the footy next year on Triple M and we want you to be part of it”. Peter remained a big personality in footy media until 2018.Still keen to get behind a mic, he joined me live at 94.1FM 3WBC to talk about what it feels like being Doctor Peter Larkins … 2 hours was not nearly enough time to pay homage to this amazing man.What does it feel like, being you, today?#menshealth #mensmentalhealth #sportsmedicine #afl #media #champion #summerolympics #commonwealthgames #healthandwellbeing #wellbeing #mentalhealth

I love encouraging people to think about what they “can” do - rather than what they "can't", and on Sunday 15 January, 2023, I spoke with a couple of the best, when it comes to saying yes! 🤩Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have been turning up at Ability Works Australia for almost 40 collective years, leading with their trademark examples of incredible work ethic, commitment and dedication to achieving everything they set their minds to.I’ve had the honor of working with Ben and Laura Robinson for more than a year, and can say without hesitation, this dynamic duo has shown me so much about their personal brand of pride, determination, humility, love, care and gratitude. ❤️❤️They joined me live at 94.1FM 3WBC to talk about what it feels like being Ben and Laura, not to mention, marriage, mental health, inclusive design, AFL, travel - also, their experience of how the world manages and responds to people living with a disability.

Michael Ray was thrust into solo dad life at the tender age of 51, and (ironically) the experience opened his eyes to outdated gender expectations which ignited an unbridled passion to advocate for equality and change that includes everyone.His commitment to parental fairness is fierce, as it is inspiring, and he challenges social narratives to serve our positively evolving communities. During this show, I helped Michael unpack ideas around misinformed gender roles, when it comes to raising kids, and how societal value/support of ALL parents/carers is so important.In his very spare time, Michael penned an award winning and widely recognised book “Who Knew?” It celebrates modern day dads, where he openly discusses issues of mental health and ideas for raising our next generation – in light of the wonderful diversity of contemporary families.
