Josh Piterman is no stranger to pressure. As the only Australian to play both the Phantom in London’s West End and Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, he knows what it’s like to perform at elite levels and what it takes to keep showing up when your inner critic won’t sit down.

Now also a coach, author, and podcast host, Josh shares how mindset, breathwork, meditation and self-awareness have transformed not only his performances but also his life. In this episode, we go deep into:

• The crossover between performers and high-performing leaders
• What really fuels imposter syndrome, and how to shift it
• Using breathwork and heart rate variability to handle fear and stress
• The difference between achievement and fulfilment
• Josh’s “6 Ps” of performance, and why play matters more than perfection
• Behind the Mask: Why Josh wrote his deeply personal memoir-meets-self-help guide
• Why vulnerability is the most underrated leadership tool

Whether you're heading into a boardroom, onto a stage, or just trying to show up more authentically in life, this conversation is a masterclass in mindset.

What if your side hobby could land you on the set of How to Train Your Dragon or in the same room as Timothée Chalamet?

That’s the wild reality for Lachlan and Austin Macfarlane – aka the Macfarlane Brothers – two self-taught filmmakers whose short-form videos have clocked more than 500 million views online. Starting with a childhood curiosity and a second-hand camera, they’ve grown into full-time content creators, directors, and award-winning storytellers for global brands like Warner Bros., Netflix, and Universal Pictures.

In this episode, they unpack the creative process behind their viral videos, how they turn 15 seconds into a storytelling masterclass, and what it really takes to build an audience that sticks around. Plus, they share what goes into landing brand deals, writing sponsored content that doesn’t suck, and why they’re aiming to direct feature films next.

Whether you're a marketer, copywriter, or creator at heart—this one’s packed with practical gold.
