Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

This week I sat down with Dr Robbie Gillies OAM, a consultant psychiatrist in Melbourne who spends his week diagnosing and treating ADHD, autism, OCD and insomnia.
Robbie is the founder and clinical lead of a large psychiatry clinic, a published researcher and a former Monash University lecturer. He is also the co-founder of HoMie, the streetwear social enterprise built on the idea that a brand young people actually want can carry a social mission.

We talk about what is really happening in the consulting room, where ADHD and OCD diagnoses actually get made. We get into ADHD, OCD and stress, and what treatment looks like beyond the quick fixes. We also dive into HoMie and what it takes to run a social enterprise alongside a career in medicine.

Robbie is clear, grounded and generous with what he knows. If you have ever wondered about your own focus, your thoughts or your stress, this one is for you.

In this episode we cover:
What ADHD actually looks like from the chair where the diagnosis is made
OCD, intrusive thoughts and what treatment really involves
Stress and what helps
The story behind HoMie and running a social enterprise alongside medicine
Why he loves teaching and cutting through the misinformation online

This week I sat down with Tom Cronin, and this one goes deep in the best possible way.

Tom spent 26 years as a broker in finance. On paper he was successful. In reality he was drowning. Stress, anxiety, insomnia and panic attacks became constant companions. He questioned everything, including whether life was worth continuing.

Then something shifted. Through meditation and deep self inquiry he found clarity, peace and purpose. He left finance behind and stepped into the work his soul was calling for. He is now a meditation teacher, transformation coach, author of six books, creator of The Portal film and documentary, and founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement on a mission to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily.

This is a conversation about what happens when you stop running from your inner voice and start listening to it. Tom is warm, funny and one of the most grounded people I have sat across from.

In this episode we cover:
26 years in finance and the burnout that broke him open
Questioning whether life was worth continuing
How meditation changed everything
Leaving a successful career to follow his purpose
The Stillness Project and the mission to reach one billion people
The Portal film and documentary
Conscious leadership, stillness and what it means to live from the inside out
What daily meditation actually does for your mind and life

I loved this one. Alexis has spent over a decade inside marketing, media and PR, so she knows exactly how our attention gets engineered. And she’s honest enough to call herself a tech addict too. Her new book Real: Reconnecting to Yourself in a World of Likes and Lies is three years in the making, and it’s all about how social media messes with who we think we are, and how to take that back. If you’ve ever closed an app feeling worse about yourself, this one’s for you.

In this episode:
How attention is designed and what it does to our nervous system
What happens to your identity when it’s built on likes
Alexis’s own relationship with her phone
What social media means for kids and how parents can help
Whether being “authentic” online is just another performance
Simple ways to reconnect with the real you

This was a fascinating chat. Dr Joy Kong started out as a psychiatrist and addiction doctor before becoming one of the leading voices in stem cell therapy. She’s UCLA-trained, triple board-certified, and the founder of Chara Health in Los Angeles and the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, where she trains doctors around the world. Joy cuts through the hype and tells it straight about what stem cells can and can’t do, and why she thinks we might be the first generation to reverse ageing. If you’re curious about longevity and where medicine is heading, you’ll love this one.

In this episode:
Why we might be the first generation to reverse ageing and live forever
Why Joy moved from psychiatry to regenerative medicine
What stem cells actually are and how they work
Whether stem cells could help mental health and the brain
The myths and dodgy claims in the stem cell industry
Where she’d spend her own money on longevity
Joy’s personal health protocol

This week I sat down with Chris Mater, and this one is a masterclass in building a career by backing yourself at every turn.

Chris started out as a professional skier before landing one of the most exciting jobs in sport — becoming one of Red Bull's first ever employees in Australia. He spent nearly 20 years with the brand, growing it from the ground up in Australia before heading to the United States to take on even bigger roles. Few people in the world understand action sports business at the level Chris does.

From there he stepped into the top job at Surfing Australia, serving as CEO for five years and helping shape the future of the sport at a national level. And now he has created something that has the whole Australian surfing community talking — the Surfing Super League, a brand new competition format set to change the landscape of surfing in this country.

This is a conversation about building a life in industries you love, what it takes to lead at the highest level, and what the Surfing Super League means for the future of Australian surfing.

In this episode we cover:
His journey as a professional skier
Becoming one of Red Bull's first employees in Australia
Nearly 20 years building Red Bull across Australia and the United States
What made Red Bull's culture so different
Becoming CEO of Surfing Australia
