I dive into the complex world of narcissism—what it really is, how it shows up in ourselves, and the impact it has on mental health and relationships. From grandiosity to fragile egos, we explore the fine line between confidence and insecurity, drawing on insights from psychology, personal experience, and phone calls with past guests; Roy Molloy, Scott Spring, Steve Tierney and James McMillan.

In this episode I reference from the following sources:

• Rethinking Narcissism – Dr. Craig Malkin
• The Narcissism Epidemic – Jean M. Twenge & W. Keith Campbell
• The Mirror Effect – Dr. Drew Pinsky
• Daring Greatly – Brené Brown
• DSM-5 (Diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder)

Enjoy,

Shan

Ever had a session where time disappeared and everything just clicked? That’s flow — and your brain is literally wired for it.

In this solo episode, I break down the neuroscience of flow, why skating triggers it like nothing else, and how it helps with mental health.

I reference experts in the field; Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steven Kotler, Jamie Wheal and the literature they have published.

This episode is part science, part soul — and all skateboarding.

This week, we hangout with Jorge Tichbon — aka Swellbows — to talk slams, soundtracks, digital animation, and the originality he brings to a genre of skateboarding that may lack it at times. From early days goon-bagging around the skate parks of the Gold Coast to the years he spent living in Texas USA, Jorge breaks down the injuries that earned him his nickname, the mental grind of bouncing back, and the constant stream of creativity flowing through him.

We get into skate crews, DIY culture, and how music and skating have always been two sides of the same coin. If you know, you know.

Stories, laughs, and pure love for the scene, this is Swellbows (with a hang-over).
