Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

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 growthWatch the award winning documentary here - https://youtu.be/6us_K-MRvIcLearn more about PAREA - www.joinparea.com/applyPAREA INSTAGRAM - www.instagram.com/joinparea/Follow Tim - www.instagram.com/timothyxjamesTodays episode is brought to you by Ampd Bros E-Bikes!📸 Follow on Instagram → @ampdbros🌐 Learn more → www.ampdbros.com.auUse code - GOODHUMAN for $150 off your first bike!🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to:✅ Subscribe to the podcast⭐ Leave a 5-star rating & review📲 Share this episode with friends & family📸 Take a screenshot and tag us on socials!🌍 Learn more about Cooper & The Good Human Factory:🔗 Instagram: @goodhumanspod | @thegoodhumanfactory | @cooperchapman💻 Website: www.thegoodhumanfactory.com🛍️ Merch: Use code PODCAST for 25% OFF – Shop Here📩 Sponsorship Enquiries: Want to sponsor the Good Humans Podcast?
