Episode 34 – Part 1: “How the Hell Did We Get Here?” (Buzz & Gypsie)Two old mates, zero fluff. We crack open the big one: how did everyday Aussies end up overworked, over-stressed and under-free? From numbers-before-names school days to tap-and-go living, from health wake-ups to finding your feet again, Buzz and Gypsie trade real stories, real laughs, and practical moves for this week. It’s truth over tantrums, small habits over heroics, and a reminder that love still wins — and you are enough.

Legends—Part 2 is here.If Part 1 was pit to podium, Part 2 is what happens after the podium. Amanda Allen came back from a total hip replacement… and still qualified for the CrossFit Games.Then life swung again—shoulder blow-out, domestic violence, homeless in a van, and a relapse that almost cost her everything. And she’s never said this publicly—until now. In this episode, Amanda opens the pages on the stuff most people hide: the night with whiskey and sleeping tablets the loneliness no crowd ever sees how two giant wolfhounds became her guardians and her reason to breathe and why she built a nutrition range and wrote a 100,000-word book parked up in a van… because purpose had to be forged out of pain. We talk social anxiety, introversion, and the truth that saved her: “This too shall pass.”“Discipline is freedom.”“The body remembers what the soul won’t say.” You’ll hear how she survives the dark now: rhythms and routines—training, eating, work, wolves, nature—rinse and repeat until the cloud lifts.And we go deep on belonging—how some of us are called to live on the fringe, and still be a light in the darkness. This isn’t a highlight reel.It’s a human being, brave enough to tell the part most people skip. Episode 33: Part 2 — Amanda Allen.Hit play.

“Alright legends — welcome back to Episode 32, Part 2: Les Walker — The Man that Keeps Turning Up. In Part 1 we went back to the kid before the titles — the early jobs, the first hard hits, and that lesson to rise above when the rock-throwers come. Now we step into the turning point.The moment you realise people are watching… and what you do starts to matter beyond you. Les talks about coaching a mixed kids’ soccer team — boys and girls learning confidence together — six years undefeated. Then a window of opportunity: invited by his old school teacher Tony Mooney to step up in local government.No polish. Shy public speaker. Door-knocking. Seniors groups. Lions clubs. Schools. Getting into the fabric of the community and building belief by doing the work. We get into purpose — your why — and what it actually costs to keep showing up: time, money, family, mental toll. We talk about owning mistakes, not playing it safe, and why the motto is ‘Jobs on. Life’s good.’And yes — the online noise, the headlines, the faceless profiles… and how to rise above it. If Part 1 was the foundation, Part 2 is the step up: influence, responsibility, and the price you pay to lead. Let’s get back into it.”

Episode 33 of Who Is Your Hero has just dropped. Amanda Allen — “From Darkness to Dominance… and a Few Wolfhounds Along the Way.” This one isn’t told by me — it’s listened to by me.I’m there to ask the questions. Amanda is there to tell her story. From a childhood of chaos… to alcoholism at fourteen… to the edge of giving up —and then the rebuild: sobriety, discipline, and becoming a 3× CrossFit Games Champion. In this episode we go there: “When life wasn’t a podium, but a pit.” How she found safety and started again. Why discipline is freedom when everything in you wants to quit. The comeback in her forties and fifties — and the truth for anyone who thinks their best years are gone. The wolfhounds, the wild, and how nature held her together when nothing else did. Amanda’s words will smash you in the chest and stitch you back together.It’s guts to glory, and it might be the most important conversation we’ve had. If you need a reason to keep going — this is it.Hit play. Share it with someone who needs hope today. Who Is Your Hero — Episode 33Now on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts.Hero Up. 👊

Episode 32: Les Walker — The Man that Keeps Turning Up. This one isn’t the polished version of life. No media-trained answers. No LinkedIn award speeches. We go straight to the bone — the truth, the setbacks, the scars, the reasons people keep getting up when life keeps belting them. Les is on the line with me — and whatever you think of him, no one can say he doesn’t turn up. Rain. Floods. Online abuse. Community barbies. Footy. Fundraisers. He still turns up. Today we don’t talk to the politician — we talk to the son, the mate, the man behind the headlines. We go back to the boy before the titles. He walks us through growing up here, early jobs at the meatworks and the railway, an apprenticeship that took him to the Burdekin Dam and Hayman Island, security at the casino, five years as a prison officer, youth work at Cleveland, small business… then council, deputy mayor, state member. We talk about that feeling when school ends and there’s no structure anymore. We talk about parents, mentors, and the advice to rise above when the rock-throwers come. We talk about learning by making mistakes, fear of failure, and why anyone can lead if they’ve got people around them and the tools to learn. I’m on home dialysis as we record — and we keep it real. If you want the person, not the profile — Episode 32 is here. Who Is Your Hero. Keep turning up.”

You know what gets me, tribe?We keep saying we live in a free country.But most people aren’t living freedom — they’re living FREE-DUMB. Yeah, FREE-DUMB. Looks shiny on Insta, but it’s slavery in disguise. Let’s break it down. D — Distraction.We’re drowning in it.Scrolling, swiping, gossiping — numbed out by noise.Entertainment’s become sedation. U — Unconscious living.Wake, rush, grind, crash, repeat.We’re not living, we’re looping.Like hamsters with Wi-Fi. M — Manipulation.They tell you what to buy, what to fear, who to love, who to cancel.You think you’re choosing — but the choices are pre-loaded. B — Blind belief.We stopped questioning.We trust headlines, politicians, influencers more than our own gut.That’s not freedom — that’s obedience with branding. So there it is:D.U.M.B. — Distraction. Unconscious. Manipulation. Blind belief. That’s FREE-DUMB. But freedom — real freedom —is unplugging from that noise.It’s saying “No thanks” to the programming.It’s taking your life back, breath by breath. And you don’t need permission slips, policies or followers to do it.You just need courage — and a bit of wobbly truth. 🎙️ (Pause) So tell me, tribe —are you living FREE… or just FREE-DUMB?

🎙️ Episode 3 — “The Comfort Trap” Aussies love comfort — cold beers, backyard barbies, footy on the telly — but when comfort becomes a lifestyle, it quietly kills our hunger to grow. In this brutally funny, dead-honest chat, Buzz calls out how the system feeds us just enough pleasure to keep us calm… and compliant.From “a beer fixes everything” culture to the way we dodge discomfort like it’s a disease — this episode will make you laugh, cringe, and question what you’ve been calling normal. 💥 It’s time to shake the couch dust off and start getting uncomfortable. 🎧 Listen now on Podbean | Spotify | Apple Podcasts🌐 whoisyourhero.com.au #TribeVsSystem #StartGettingUncomfortable #BuzzFidler #WhoIsYourHero #HeroUp #TheComfortTrap

Episode 2 — “The Illusion of Freedom” We say we’re free — but are we really?In this powerful second chapter, Buzz peels back the layers of the modern system — schooling, work, media, money — and asks the uncomfortable question: who’s actually running the show? From the moment we’re born, we’re taught to follow the script: study hard, get a job, buy the house, pay the taxes, and call that freedom.But what if the script itself is the cage? This episode isn’t about conspiracy — it’s about clarity.It’s about seeing the invisible walls we’ve all agreed to live behind and remembering that real freedom starts between your ears. 🔥 It’s deep, real, and unapologetically Buzz — a wake-up call for anyone brave enough to think for themselves. 🎧 Listen now on Podbean | Spotify | Apple Podcasts🌐 whoisyourhero.com.au #TribeVsSystem #BuzzFidler #WhoIsYourHero #StartGettingUncomfortable #FreedomStartsWithin

🎙️ EPISODE 1 — Comfort Kills: How Australia Got Too Bloody Soft This one kicks off with a laugh — and a slap of truth. From footy sheds to Friday-arvo beers, we’ve built a culture around being comfortable. But what happens when comfort turns into control? Buzz cracks open the first part of the Start Getting Uncomfortable trilogy — diving into how the “Aussie dream” quietly became a system designed to keep us numb, safe, and obedient. It’s funny, raw, and uncomfortable in all the right ways. Expect a few laughs, a few home truths, and a reminder that growth doesn’t live on the couch — it starts when we get off our arse and ask the big questions. 🔥 Real talk. Real laughs. Real tribe.🎧 Tribe vs System — Start Getting Uncomfortable (Part 1)

Ep 29 (Part 2): The Everyday Aussie Who Stood Up — Jody LoweJody goes beyond slogans and into the guts of real change—how childhood chaos forged a protector, why he plans seven weeks ahead, and how blokes can manage the “ton of straw” without blowing a fuse. We talk ego on long-service leave, trolls vs restraint, being a present dad, and building an Australia grounded in balance, accountability and clean energy. Raw, practical, and very human.

welcome back to Part 2 of Who Is Your Hero with Jason Siebert.Part 1 took us from floodwaters to first principles — why shelter before anything flips a human from surviving to thriving, and how Jason’s Heartland Homes Project and Rehome Roots turn one sale into someone else’s second chance. Today we’re going deeper.We’re talking real poverty — is it material or spiritual?We’re talking scars that drive service — the moments that make a man say “no one gets left behind.”And we’re stepping into solutions: expandable, off-grid homes, community land, growing food, regenerating country — a blueprint for living together, not just getting by. If you’ve ever felt the system’s red tape choking common sense, this part is for you.Lean in, share it on, and let’s build stronger homes and stronger hearts.

Today’s story carries the title: ‘The Everyday Aussie Who Stood Up – Jody Lowe’. Every so often, you come across someone who doesn’t just talk about courage and bravery — they live it, breathe it, and stand in it every single day. Our guest today is one of those blokes.   Now, let me be clear from the start: we’re not here to push politics, tick boxes, or run agendas. But sometimes, when you talk about truth, it naturally brushes against those walls. And that’s okay. What we’re here for today is courage. It’s family. It’s resilience. It’s a bloke who’s faced his own battles with mental health and still steps forward, day after day, for his kids, his community, and his country.

What to expect in this episode 👇 Jason Siebert x Who Is Your Hero — Part 1 This one goes past bricks and bolts. We dive into why “home” is more than walls and how one man turned the Northern Rivers floodwaters into a living model of hope. You’ll hear & learn: The image Jason can’t forget from Lismore — and what it taught him about human fragility and real resilience. Why shelter before anything (health triage → shelter → water → fire → food) matters — and how a roof flips people from surviving to thriving. Jason’s own scars — vanlife, temporary housing, mental health dips — and how purpose + discipline (run, meditate, train) keep him moving. The Heartland model explained in plain language: one home sold helps rehome another (no interest, no fees, pay-it-forward into the next family’s home). Versatile, off-grid, expandable homes — and why independence = health + dignity. The bigger picture: housing crisis, rough sleepers, single mums, veterans, men needing community — and how Heartland plans to meet them where they are. Buzz’s 4 Pillars (Health • Worth • Why • Wealth) in action — and why purpose stops the spiral. Big Question teaser:We finish Part 1 warming up for the one we ask every guest… “Who is your Hero?” (Jason answers it in the series.) 🎧 Listen now: Podbean | Spotify | Apple🔗 whoisyourhero.com.au🔗 heartlandhomesproject.com

Meet Julie Hogben — 31 years old, full of courage, and right now fighting her way through dialysis while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. She sat down with me on Who Is Your Hero to share the raw, real story of what it’s like to live with kidney failure at such a young age — the challenges, the laughs, the resilience, and the hope. This is more than a medical story. It’s about grit, family, and finding strength in the hardest season of life.

Doug Steley – Fighting Battles Beyond the Uniform🔥 Smashing Opening (Approx. 5 mins)Buzz:“G’day legends, Buzz here — and welcome back to Who Is Your Hero.Tonight we’re not talking about business, footy, or backyard heroes. We’re talking about a bloke who wore the RAAF uniform, gave his best years in service, and then came home to fight battles that no one trains you for.His name is Doug Steley.A veteran. A fighter. A man who has carried both medals and scars.But when the uniform came off, Doug found himself in the fight of his life — not with an enemy overseas, but with the system right here at home.We talk about mateship in this country. We talk about ‘looking after our diggers.’ Yet time and time again, the stories I hear from veterans are stories of silence, rejection, paperwork over people, and lives lost to a system that’s meant to protect them.Doug’s journey is raw. It’s heavy. But it’s also important. Because if we’re going to be a country worth fighting for, we’ve got to face how we treat those who fought for us.So buckle in, tribe — this is one you need to hear.”

“G’day tribe, tonight’s a big one. After four months of hospital runs, every second day back into North Ward, the tubes are finally out, and for the first time in months I had a proper shower. Not a wipe down, not a splash with a washer — I mean a full, hot, stand-there-till-the-water-runs-cold kind of shower. Might sound small, but to me, it felt massive.

“When kidney failure hit, I found out real quick who my mates were. Most vanished, but a handful stuck. At first it felt brutal, then I realised — it was a gift. It’s like Facebook culling your friends list for you — only life does it much more efficiently.” This Podcast id dedicated to all of them ..

“G’day legends, Buzz here with another kidney-fuelled yarn. And today we’re going straight to the bottom of the barrel… literally. So, the nurses handed me this thing called the Bristol Stool Chart. Yeah, you can’t make this stuff up. It’s basically a grading system for your turds — turns out even your poo needs a performance review these days. Now when you’re on PD, keeping the plumbing moving is critical. And according to the chart, the gold medal stool is a nice, smooth sausage — Type 4. That’s the Michael Jordan of bowel movements. The GOAT. Anything else and you’re in trouble: • Type 1? Rabbit droppings. Mate, you’re not a bunny. Eat a pear. • Type 7? Brown tsunami. You’re not winning medals, you’re evacuating a disaster zone. • Type 6? That’s the curry-and-beer special. You know the one. Here’s the lesson: shit happens.Literally. But in life too. Some days you’re dropping gold medal sausages, other days it’s chaos. The trick is to laugh, flush, and keep moving. So if you’re stuck, stressed, or struggling — remember: it’s all part of the cycle. Some days are messy, some are hard to pass, but eventually, you hit that smooth stride. This is Buzz with Kidney Capers — reminding you that health isn’t about being perfect… it’s about rolling with the punches. Or in this case… the plops. 💩🤣
