Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Australian professional tennis player Thomas Fancutt for his very first interview since serving a 10 month anti doping ban that turned his world upside down.Thomas opens up about the moment everything changed. A simple IV drip that he believed was allowed became a career altering mistake, leading to a ban that shocked him, his team, and the tennis world.We talk about what it was really like to have his career paused overnight, the emotional toll of being labelled, judged, and misunderstood, and the mental battle of staying motivated when the sport you love is suddenly taken away.Thomas shares the behind the scenes reality of the ban, the shame and frustration he carried, and how he worked through anger, fear, and uncertainty about his future.Most importantly, we dive into the comeback. How this experience reshaped his mindset, strengthened his resilience, and gave him a new perspective on purpose, pressure, and identity beyond sport.This episode is about mistakes, accountability, and what it really takes to rebuild when your life takes an unexpected turn.If you have ever faced a setback that felt unfair, overwhelming, or completely out of your control, this conversation will hit home.In this episode, we cover:Thomas’s tennis journey and rise in the professional ranksThe IV drip incident and how a misunderstanding led to a 10 month banThe emotional impact of having his career put on holdDealing with public judgement and internal doubtHow he stayed mentally strong during the toughest period of his lifeWhat this experience taught him about identity, resilience, and perspectiveHis mindset heading into his comeback and what drives him nowThis is a raw, real, and inspiring conversation about turning one of the hardest moments of your life into fuel for your next chapter.Follow ThomasINSTAGRAM Send @thegoodhumanfactory a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020

Welcome to the first episode of the Good Humans Podcast for 2026.I wanted to start this year with something powerful, practical, and a little different. That is why I invited Ole Hill, who is widely regarded as Australia’s leading hypnotist, onto the show.In this episode, Ole and I dive into how hypnosis actually works, why so many of us struggle to follow through on our New Year’s resolutions, and how our subconscious mind plays a much bigger role in our behaviour than most people realise.What makes this episode really special is that Ole guides us through a live hypnosis session during the conversation. This was designed to help you connect with your goals for 2026, let go of mental blocks, and set clear intentions for the year ahead. It is something you can come back to anytime you need a reset.For me, this episode is about more than motivation. It is about creating real change by working with your mind rather than against it. If you are stepping into 2026 wanting more clarity, confidence, or alignment with your goals, this episode is a great place to start.In this episode, we talk about:What hypnosis really is and what it is notWhy New Year’s resolutions often failHow the subconscious mind influences habits and decision makingThe role of focus, suggestion, and awareness in personal growthA live guided hypnosis session to support your 2026 goalsStarting the year with intention rather than pressureA quick note before you listenIf you can, listen to this episode somewhere quiet, especially for the hypnosis section. Sitting or lying down comfortably and giving yourself permission to slow down will help you get the most out of it. - Please don't do the hypnosis while driving.Thanks for being here and for kicking off 2026 with me. I hope this episode helps you feel clear, grounded, and excited for the year ahead.FOLLOW OLEINSTAGRAM - www.instagram.com/summithypnotismSend @thegoodhumanfactory a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020
