In this inspiring episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Kate Wilcomes – former World Tour surfer, Teahupo’o champion, Blue Crush stunt double, and now National High Performance Director at Surfing Australia.

Kate’s journey through the surf world is packed with grit, passion, and pioneering moments. We chat about:

🌊 Her breakthrough win at one of the world’s heaviest waves – Teahupo’o

🎬 Her unexpected role in the Hollywood surf film Blue Crush

🏄‍♀️ The evolution and rise of women’s surfing

🌟 Her work mentoring the next generation of Aussie surfing talent

🌺 And the upcoming Seas the Day Women’s Surf Festival – the world’s largest female participation surf event, happening June 21–22 at Kingscliff Beach, NSW. It’s 100% free, community-focused, and all about celebrating women in surfing. Find out more here - seasthedaysurffestival.com/

Kate’s story is one of breaking barriers and staying true to your purpose – whether that’s in the ocean or behind the scenes helping others thrive.

Listen now to hear how one of surfing’s most humble trailblazers is creating lasting impact beyond the waves.

In this epic episode, I’m joined by my good friend and tech mastermind Tim Laycock—a creative force who has spent the last decade building and scaling digital platforms used by millions of people globally. From launching startups to leading product development for major companies, Tim’s work in tech is all about creating meaningful, user-focused experiences that solve real problems.

These days, he’s still deep in the world of tech startups, while also pouring his energy into a new passion project—Parea—a bold initiative that blends adventure, challenge, and deep human connection in the great outdoors.

We dive deep into Tim’s story—his upbringing, his entrepreneurial mindset, and where he sees the future of technology heading. But the real adventure begins when we talk about Parea, which is designed to take high-performing individuals out of their comfort zones and into nature for transformative experiences.

Earlier this year, I joined Tim and a group of six founders on the third Parea expedition in the backcountry of New Zealand. We were helicopter dropped into remote wilderness, with a few local guides and the goal to survive off the land, disconnect from our devices, and reconnect with ourselves and each other.

Even more exciting—our trip was documented and just won Best Adventure Film at the LA Film Festival. It was raw, challenging, deeply human—and it’s the heartbeat of what Parea is all about: pushing yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally, while building genuine connection through shared struggle in nature.

What We Cover in This Episode:

✅ Tim’s journey building platforms used by millions

✅ What he’s learned from a decade in the tech world

✅ Balancing tech startup life with launching Parea

✅ Behind the scenes of our survival trip in NZ

✅ Why nature, discomfort, and camaraderie are essential for growth

🎙 Episode 200 – My Dad, My Inspiration | Dave Chapman

Welcome to a very special milestone episode of the Good Humans Podcast—Episode 200!

After five years, over 850,000 downloads, and some of the most incredible conversations with health experts, Olympic gold medalists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and changemakers… I just want to say thank you. I’m beyond grateful for every single guest who’s given their time and energy, and for you—our amazing community—for tuning in each week.

Creating this podcast has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my life. I’ve edited and produced every episode myself, and while it’s been a massive undertaking, I wouldn’t change it for the world. The messages I receive from listeners about how an episode helped them—those make it all worth it.

To celebrate this milestone, I’m joined by someone very close to my heart—my dad, Dave Chapman.

My dad has been my biggest inspiration. In this raw and heartfelt episode, we go deep into his life journey: growing up, fatherhood, grief, sobriety, and what it was like raising me and my sisters. It's a side of my story—and his—that I’ve never shared this openly before.

Fun fact: Dad was very nervous about doing this… we had to record it three times! So if you enjoy this episode, please send me a message—I’d love to pass it on to him.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:

• My dad’s upbringing and life lessons
• His journey through grief, family separation, and sobriety
• What fatherhood has meant to him
• How he supported me and my sisters growing up
• Honest reflections on life, legacy, and resilience
