Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

In this episode of Better Than Yesterday, we revisit a powerful conversation with Adam Garone, co-founder of Movember, to explore how one of the world’s most successful grassroots movements began not with a strategy or manifesto, but with a simple dare among friends.
What started in a Melbourne backyard as a playful challenge to bring back the moustache quickly evolved into a global campaign for men’s health. Over time, Movember has grown into a worldwide movement spanning more than 20 countries, engaging millions of participants and raising over a billion dollars for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health initiatives.
This episode unpacks the surprising mechanics behind Movember’s success: why playfulness can be more powerful than seriousness in capturing attention, how trust and community participation fuel organic growth, and why the organisation’s biggest innovation may be treating participants not as audiences, but as co-creators of the movement.
We also hear how Movember has helped reshape medical research itself—connecting previously isolated researchers across the globe and fostering collaboration that accelerates breakthroughs in men’s health.
It's a conversation about rethinking how change happens, and challenging the idea that movements need perfection or authority to begin. Instead, curiosity, connection, and a bit of irreverence can actually drive real-world impact.

In this very candid conversation, viral content creator 'Blue-Eyed' Kayla Jade joins me to unpack the realities behind sex work, online fame, motherhood and modern intimacy.
Kayla opens up about growing up in New Zealand, discovering sex work, building her successful OnlyFans page, and the stigma that still surrounds the industry. She shares the challenges of parenting while living publicly online and why she’s chosen to tell her story so openly. We also dive into her ADHD diagnosis and some of the surprising realities behind the world of high-end sex work.
This episode is illuminating, funny, and at times confronting. But ultimately it's a nuanced discussion about identity, shame, human connection, and one of the world's oldest jobs.
It was a real pleasure to be able to sit down with Kayla Jade in person, and her book is worth a read.

The Reality of Living In The Outback: Brendan Cullen's Journey from Pain to Purpose

Australia’s outback is world-renowned for it’s beauty, it’s uniqueness and it’s people. But what often isn’t spoken about is the sheer isolation living in these remote communities.
My guest on this episode is a man who has lived at the extremes — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Brendan Cullen has lived his life on the land. He’s navigated childhood trauma, isolation, depression and alcohol dependency - and come out the other side a better person and a better father.
In this conversation, Brendan opens up about the moment things caught up with him - when the mental load eventually became too heavy to carry alone and he could no longer wear the mask. He talks about the reality of living with depression, the brutal isolation of the rural Australia, and what it took to finally ask for help. He also talks about finally finding purpose, and how he managed to train to swim the English Channel in the middle of the outback.
It’s a candid yet important look at mental health, particularly in rural communities where silence and self-reliance are often the status quo. Brendan stands as a beacon of resilience forged the hard way, and proof asking for help can make a real difference.
