Michael Zerafa was Australia’s #1... then one punch changed everything.

He backed himself. Took the shot.

And got knocked out on the world stage.

The backlash was brutal. The country turned. Tall poppy syndrome kicked in fast. But instead of disappearing, Zerafa rebuilt, quietly, ruthlessly, and fought his way back. Now he’s ranked #1 in Australia again… and hungrier than ever.

👇 Inside this episode:

→ The world title fight that didn’t go to plan

→ What no one saw behind the KO

→ How it feels when your own country turns on you

→ What it takes to get back to the top

→ Why he still backs himself, harder than ever

This isn’t just about boxing.

It’s about risk, pressure, public failure, and the guts it takes to show up again.

James Bartle was on a surf trip in Southeast Asia when everything changed.

He saw a child being trafficked right in front of him, and it hit so hard that he knew he’d never go back to life as normal. What came next is one of the most powerful stories we’ve ever had on the podcast.

He came home, backed himself, and built Outland Denim, a global fashion brand created to fight trafficking and give survivors a way forward.

This episode isn’t about building a brand.

It’s about stepping into something bigger than yourself and using everything you’ve got to fight back.
