Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

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.

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 Head
Struggling at school but being good at chess
Tom making and losing a million in crypto before twenty
The early days of social media and being judged
Their growth and the importance of brotherhood

For this special Mother's Day episode, I'm joined by the woman who started it all — my mum, Alyson Chapman. This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had on the show, and one I'll treasure forever.

We sit down and chat about her upbringing, the story of how she met my dad, what it was like becoming a mum for the first time, and the beautiful chaos of raising four kids. Mum shares what it was like travelling the world with me throughout my surfing career, the highs and the hard moments, and how proud she is of all of her kids and the people we've become.

We also talk about one of her newest and most special chapters — becoming a grandma — and what that's added to her life.
Whether you're a mum, have a mum, or are about to become one, this episode is a beautiful reminder of the love, sacrifice and quiet strength that mothers pour into their families every single day.

In this episode we cover:
Mum's upbringing and the values she carried into motherhood
The story of how she met Dad
Becoming a mum for the first time
Raising four kids and what she learnt along the way
Travelling the world with me throughout my surfing career
The proud moments watching her kids grow into adults
Becoming a grandma and how special that chapter has been
Her advice to other mums and what she'd tell her younger self

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mums, grandmas, stepmums and mother figures out there. Thank you for everything you do.

If this episode resonated with you, please share it with your mum, your kids, or a friend who you think it will mean something to. Tag your mum and let her know how much she means to you.
