Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

In this episode, I'm joined again by the brilliantly fearless comedian Daniel Sloss.
We take a deep dive into a wide range of topics, including the realities of fatherhood, the dark side of anonymity on the internet, and the crucial distinction between kindness and weakness. Daniel shares his experiences navigating the emotional rollercoaster of going from performing for thousands of adoring fans to the daily grind of parenting young children.
We also explore how the line of what's acceptable in comedy is constantly shifting, the challenges of being a "sexist feminist", and the importance of self-compassion. Daniel reveals how embracing his flaws through parody on stage has helped him become more humble in real life.
And based on his new comedy show, we also discuss the bitterness that can creep in when comparing oneself to others and how focusing on what truly matters, like the love of family, can bring genuine happiness.

Broden Kelly is best known as one of the members of comedy team Aunty Donna. But he's also a mad footy fan who started a podcast called The Footy with Broden Kelly.
With the footy season kicking off in Australia, I thought it would be a good time to look back on my chat with Broden from a few years ago, where we discussed the power of sport, particularly AFL, to unite people in cheering for a common goal. In a world that often lacks connection, sport can provide both social connection and physical movement.
If you're not currently barracking for a team, I'm going to try my best to convince you it's a good idea to start. And if you are already following a team, I'll give you some reasons why it's a good thing (even if other people are telling you otherwise).

Today’s guest works with some of the most elite performers in the world — AFL premiership captains, Grand Slam champions, world title surfers and Olympic athletes.
But this conversation isn’t about winning. It’s about what happens before the win. And what happens when there isn’t one.
In this powerful conversation, author and mindset coach Ben Crowe explains the psychology of elite performance, pressure, identity, and what it really means to succeed.
While Ben has worked with elite athletes and world champions, helping them navigate the mental side of performance, this conversation goes far beyond sport. It’s about self-worth, perfectionism, vulnerability, and why so many high performers struggle when their identity becomes tied to outcomes.
We explore the hidden pressure behind success, why chasing perfection can lead to shame, and how separating who you are from what you do can transform both performance and wellbeing.
Ben shares practical insights from working with the likes of Ash Barty, revealing the mindset shifts that allow people to perform at their best while still living a meaningful life.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of expectations, whether in your career, relationships, or personal ambitions, this conversation will help you reframe the way you think about success.
Daniel will tour Australia in April 2026 - check the link below for shows near you.

Trauma psychologist Tahnee Schulz—a critical incident first responder who has worked with those affected by events like the Sydney Lindt Café siege and the Nepal Earthquakes—offers a forensic, compassionate map for finding meaning when life's floor falls away.
In this quick hit with Tahnee, you’ll hear about:
The Jelly Bean Jar: The deceptively simple neuroscience of small pleasures and why they are the foundation of resilience.
The Definition of Trauma: Why trauma is defined not by what happened, but by how it made you feel, and the profound, genetic stakes of leaving it unprocessed.
The Suffering Witness: How to recognize that your empathy is a strength, not a wound, and why seeking help is vital even if the trauma didn't happen to you directly.
This is a conversation about the extraordinary human capacity to build meaning, move through uncertainty, and choose a full, thriving life.
