Escuchar HORSES MOUTH

In this episode, I had the good fortune of speaking with Tina Tainui. Around here, she’s best known as a yoga teacher and founder of OurSpace Yoga in Torquay… but no no no—Tina is so much more than that. She’s a serious force of nature with a hell of a story to tell. Originally from New Zealand and raised in the school of hard knocks (seriously!), Tina's life took a sharp turn thanks to a chance encounter with a stranger—maybe even a guardian angel, depending on how you look at it. That moment gave her the courage to get out of her situation and go live, really live, and experience the world. And that’s exactly what she did. She’s been everywhere, man—Rubbing shoulders, cutting hair, and partying with some of the great artists and cultural trailblazers of our time. Without giving too much away… I hope you enjoy our chat. Thanks, Tina.

Today on the Horses Mouth, I was joined by Dr Harley Mackenzie — a long-time Torquay local, leader in the energy sector, and a passionate advocate for reform. Dr Mackenzie has just announced he’s running for the federal seat of Corangamite, representing the Legalise Cannabis Party. His campaign isn’t just about changing laws — it’s about health, personal freedom, and bringing some much-needed common sense to the national conversation on cannabis. As he puts it: “The war on drugs has failed. It’s time for a smarter approach.” www.legalisecannabis.org.au [http://www.legalisecannabis.org.au/] I hope you enjoy our chat

This week, I had the good fortune of chatting with none other than Max Cakarik. Max is a mate of mine who never stops surprising me—I’m honestly in awe of how he keeps leveling up, taking on life’s challenges, and then pushing even further. He’s a young buck on a mission—went back to school, threw himself into yoga, tackled some heavy mental health battles, launched a magazine, landed a gig with Rip Curl, and is always on the hunt for waves of consequence. And his recent, on-a-whim trip to Hawaii? Epic yarn and story of aboslutly living life to the full   Stoked for ya, Max—absolute weapon. Keep charging and thanks for the chat

In this episode, I had the great pleasure of sitting down with none other than Daniel Wald. Daniel is an all-around great guy and a true seeker in every sense of the word. Well-traveled and deeply passionate about music, he understands its power to touch the soul and bring people together. Beyond that, Daniel is a teacher of Vortex Healing—a unique and awesome form of energy healing (vortexhealing.org [https://vortexhealing.org/], danielwald.com [https://danielwald.com/]). He stopped by for a chat just before packing up with his family to move back to Europe, and I’m so grateful we got to dive into all things life. Cheers, Daniel!

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Naheda Hassan of Naheda’s Dips at Prahran Market. Naheda’s journey to where she is today is nothing short of inspiring—her story is one of perseverance, love, family, hard work, and determination. Her infectious enthusiasm for life and generosity shine through, even in the toughest moments. Naheda runs an incredible business alongside her sons at Prahran Market, and if you’ve never been, it’s a must-visit! Next time you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and "get your dip on." I hope you enjoy our conversation!
