  • #168: UFC boss Dana White & NSW Premier Chris Minns talk UFC 312
    Feb 5 2025

    Today, I had the chance to sit down with Dana White and NSW Premier Chris Minns ahead of UFC 312—an event that’s set to put Sydney on the global stage once again.


    Dana is one of America’s most successful entrepreneurs, taking the UFC from a struggling business into a global powerhouse. Chris, along with Destination NSW, played a key role in securing this event for Sydney, recognising the economic and cultural impact the UFC brings to the state.


    In this conversation, we covered everything—from the UFC’s influence on Sydney to the global appeal of the sport, fighter preparation, and what makes a great champion. Dana shared insights into how the UFC cultivates stars, the business of fight promotion, and his own approach to leadership, drive, and health.

  • #166: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on upcoming election, the housing crisis & Australia’s future
    Jan 29 2025

    Anthony Albanese is Australia’s 31st and current Prime Minister, preparing for a crucial election year as he goes head-to-head with opposition leader Peter Dutton (who we had on the show last week).


    In our discussion, we delved into his upbringing, the values that shaped him, his path to leading the nation, the current state of the U.S and what makes Australia stand out on the global stage. We also tackled major issues like the cost of living, the housing crisis, and the recent surge in antisemitism. And, of course, we couldn’t skip over the fierce NRL rivalry between our clubs - Souths and the Roosters.

A straight review

An unexpected must listen for myself.

I have always found Mark Bouris interesting and charismatic. His genuine curiosity with his guests leads the conversations in a natural but comprehensive way.
At first I only listened to the guests I knew - but quickly found myself circling back around to listen to the rest.
All walks of life, backgrounds and topics - buts all doing things personally or professionally in a passionate manner.
Definitely recommended!
