This week I sat down with George Burgess, a rugby league legend who won an NRL Premiership with the South Sydney Rabbitohs and represented England on the international stage. George is a good mate who I just kept running into everywhere, so we finally sat down for a proper chat, and I'm so glad we did. This one goes well beyond the footy.George opens up about losing his dad to Motor Neurone Disease at fifteen, and how that shaped the path that followed. It was Russell Crowe, part-owner of the Rabbitohs, who brought the Burgess family out to play for Souths, and George shares what that opportunity meant for him and his brothers, Sam, Tom and Luke, who he went on to play alongside in the NRL.We also get into a side of George a lot of people don't know. He has always loved acting, and since hanging up the boots he has carved out a serious career on screen, with roles in Land of Bad, Spartacus: House of Ashur, and the upcoming Lionsgate feature Beast in Me.This is a chat about grief, reinvention, brotherhood and backing yourself to start again. George is the real deal and I loved this one.In this episode we cover:Winning an NRL Premiership with the South Sydney RabbitohsLosing his dad to Motor Neurone Disease at fifteen and how it shaped himHow Russell Crowe brought the family to SouthsPlaying alongside his brothers Sam, Tom and Luke in the NRLHis lifelong love of actingLanding roles in Land of Bad, Spartacus: House of Ashur and Beast in MeWhat it takes to reinvent yourself after sportGrief, brotherhood and starting a new chapterFollow GeorgeInstagram https://www.instagram.com/george.burgess2.0/?hl=enConnect with Cooper and TGHF1% Good Club Book (use code PODCAST for 25% off) https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/products/1-good-club-bookInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEHThe Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.comTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020

This week I sat down with Blair Rubock, a really special human who has built something incredible with his Instagram page @ThroughStrangersEyes. By sitting down with strangers and having honest conversations about their struggles, Blair has reached millions of people and reminded all of us that everyone is carrying something.We got into all of it. How Through Strangers' Eyes started, what those conversations have taught him, and why he had to stop his national tour to look after his own mental health.Blair also opens up about his fear of dying, and what it has been like watching his dad struggle with dementia right after he retired. It's a heavy chapter, but Blair speaks about it with so much love and honesty.We also chat about his newest project, Through My Eyes, where he travelled to a remote village in the Mentawai Islands to live with the tribesmen and learn about their way of life. The documentary drops on May 31st and it sounds incredible.This is one of those conversations that will sit with you for a while.In this episode we cover:How Through Strangers' Eyes started and the impact it has hadWhat he has learned from sitting down with strangers about their strugglesStopping the national tour to protect his own mental healthHis own fear of dyingWatching his dad struggle with dementia after retirementHis new documentary Through My EyesLiving with tribesmen in the Mentawai IslandsWhat the experience taught him about life, culture and connectionThrough My Eyes documentary Premiere May 31st - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/through-my-eyes-ep-1-living-with-the-mentawai-documentary-tickets-1987718564735?aff=oddtdtcreatorFollow BlairInstagram https://www.instagram.com/blairubock/Through Strangers' Eyes https://www.instagram.com/throughstrangerseyes/Connect with Cooper and TGHF1% Good Club Book (use code PODCAST for 25% off) https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/products/1-good-club-bookInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEHThe Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.comTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020

This week I sat down with two of my good mates, Tom and Kell Reese, aka The Reese Bros. They are two of the biggest content creators in Australia and two of the funniest blokes going around, and it was really nice to go deep with them on this one.We go right back to the start. Growing up in Evans Head, struggling at school but finding their feet on a chess board, and what it actually felt like for Tom to make and lose a million dollars in crypto before he turned twenty.They get honest about the early days of social media too. The cringe of posting when no one was watching, the judgement that came with putting themselves out there, and what it really takes to back yourself when not everyone is on your side.And underneath all of it, the thing that has held them together the whole way through. Brotherhood.This one will leave you smiling, thinking, and probably ringing your brother.In this episode we cover:Growing up in Evans HeadStruggling at school but being good at chessTom making and losing a million in crypto before twentyThe early days of social media and being judgedTheir growth and the importance of brotherhoodFollow The Reese BrosYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@reesebrosYTInstagram https://www.instagram.com/reesebros/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@reesebros—Connect with Cooper and TGHFInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_1% Good Club Book (use code PODCAST for 25% off) https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/products/1-good-club-bookLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEHThe Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.comTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020
