James Newbury is one of the most disciplined and genuinely grounded humans you’ll ever meet. Four-time Fittest Man in Australia, fifth in the world at the CrossFit Games, an Ironman finisher only five weeks after breaking his back but none of that is why this conversation hits so hard.In this episode, we strip it right back.We talk about the kid he used to be, the pressure of chasing greatness, the crash that nearly changed everything, and the mindset he had to build to come back from it. We dive into the loneliness behind high performance, the fears he still carries, love, identity, purpose, and what it actually takes to be proud of the person you are outside of sport.This is a conversation about growing up, breaking down, rebuilding, and learning to like yourself along the way.If you’re someone who’s driven, struggling, evolving, or just trying to figure yourself out — you’ll get something out of this one.James is one of the good ones.Hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did.

This week on Mind Your Head, I sat down with Logan Dodds - a bloke who’s lived more lives in a few years than most of us do in a lifetime.Logan was a plumber in Auckland, just doing life, until everything changed the day he suddenly lost his dad. That loss pushed him to leave New Zealand and chase something bigger. He travelled through Europe with no real plan, filmed the whole thing, and posted a video to Facebook… and overnight, it went viral. From there, his life flipped. He saw the world, met people, and experienced things he’d only ever dreamed of.But behind all of that adventure was a young man still grieving, still trying to understand himself, and still figuring out who he was without the person he looked up to most.We spoke about finding passion and purpose, following those green lights, creativity and storytelling, overcoming fear and failure, and the importance of gratitude and perspective - especially now as he steps into the biggest challenge and reward of his life: fatherhood.This chat was special. I’m genuinely grateful for how honest and vulnerable Logan was.

Olympic gold medallist. Trailblazer. Proud Māori woman. And a human being who has walked through both incredible highs and some of life’s toughest moments.

In this episode, Gayle Broughton opens up in a way she rarely has before - sharing the private battles behind the public success. We talk about her rise to the top of world rugby, the pressure and expectation that came with it, her transition into rugby league, and the moment she hit rock bottom.

Gayle speaks honestly about identity, mental health, and the courage it takes to admit you’re struggling, even when the world thinks you’re unstoppable. This conversation is about owning your truth, sitting with your pain, and finding the strength to rebuild from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt lost, misunderstood, or like you had to hold it all together - this episode will mean something to you.
