On the 30th of September 2025, Nigel Latta passed away. He was only 58.
The week before, he went to see his oncologist and was given the heartbreaking news his body couldn’t take any more treatment.
He arrived at the meeting optimistic but pivoted to acceptance immediately.
That sums up Nigel Latta- he died the way he lived: brave, courageous, fearless, resilient, considerate.
This episode was originally recorded in 2024, not long after Nigel Latta received his terminal cancer diagnosis. It is being re-released now, following his recent passing, with deep respect for the extraordinary man he was.
What you're about to watch is not a conversation about death — it's a powerful reflection on life. In this interview, Nigel speaks with clarity, humour, humility and strength about facing the end, loving deeply, working with purpose, and the beauty of being human — flaws, fumbles, feelings and all.
He talks openly about:
Nigel was many things: psychologist, broadcaster, author, mentor, mate. But above all, he was real - and this conversation is one of the most honest things you’ll ever hear.
Rest easy, Nigel. Thank you for everything.
