- 58 minutes 10 seconds#228 Noah Wallis — Surfing with Noz on Overcoming Anxiety and Finding Freedom in the Ocean
In this episode I sit down with Noah Wallis, better known online as Surfing with Noz — a former financial trader who turned his life around through surfing, creativity, and YouTube.
We dive deep into Noah’s story — from growing up on the coast and struggling with anxiety, to chasing a high-pressure career in trading that eventually left him unfulfilled. He opens up about the moment he realised he needed change, and how filming surf edits with his mates became not just a creative outlet but a lifeline.
Now with over half a million subscribers, Noah’s channel has become one of the biggest surf communities on YouTube, inspiring people around the world to chase their passions and reconnect with what makes them feel alive.
This chat is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t always look like the path we first imagined — and that the ocean can heal in more ways than one.
In this episode we cover:
- Noah’s upbringing and early love for surfing
- Battling anxiety and navigating life as a trader
- The turning point that led him to pursue YouTube full-time
- How surfing and creativity helped him rebuild his mental health
- Lessons on purpose, passion, and building an authentic community online
Listen now to hear how Noah turned struggle into purpose and built a life around what he loves most — surfing, storytelling, and connecting with good humans.

This special bonus episode comes to you live from COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where Kal Glanznig and I are on the ground representing Blue Minds, Surfers for Climate and The Good Human Factory. After more than fifty hours of travel to get here, it has been incredibly inspiring to immerse ourselves in the global climate movement and witness so many passionate leaders working together for the future of our planet.
This episode is split into three parts to give you a real behind the scenes look at what COP is, why we are here and the powerful conversations happening inside the Australian Pavilion.
Part One: What COP Is and Why It Matters
We kick things off by breaking down what COP actually is, the scale of this global climate conference and why bringing climate and mental health voices together is so important. We share our intentions for being here with Surfers for Climate and how this experience is shaping our perspective on community, responsibility and the urgent need for action.
Part Two: Live Panel from the Australian Pavilion
You will then hear our live podcast recorded inside the Australian Pavilion featuring powerful voices from across the Pacific and the world.
Our guests include:
- Mesepele Lauti (Tuvalu) @mese94_
- Xiye Bastida (Mexico) @xiyebeara
- Luna Lomitusi (Samoa) @luna_lomitusi
Together, we discuss youth leadership, climate justice, cultural resilience and what it means for communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. It is raw, hopeful and a reminder of why these conversations matter so much.
Part Three: Kal’s Conversation with Nikki Becker
To finish, Kal sits down with Argentinian climate leader Nikki Becker @nickibecker for a powerful one on one chat about activism, lived experience and the role of young people in shaping a better future.
This episode captures the energy, urgency and unity we have felt here at COP30 and we hope it inspires you as much as these conversations have inspired us.

28 October 2025, 6:00 pm - 1 hour 26 minutes#223 Mikel Nyholt – Overcoming Burnout: Healing a Chronic Autoimmune Disease
This week on the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Mikel Nyholt — a high-performing executive at Usher Group, where he leads sales, marketing, and culture for a $100M+ business employing over 500 people. But behind his professional success lies an incredible story of burnout, resilience, and self-healing that will leave you inspired.
In his late 20s, Mikel’s life came crashing down. After years of pushing himself to the edge in business, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — told he’d need constant care, and even lost vision in one eye. But instead of accepting the bleak prognosis, Mikel chose a different path.
He turned inward, exploring the power of breathwork, mindset, and holistic healing, and seven years later his doctors are still blown away by his recovery and vitality.
In this powerful episode, we dive into:
✅ The personal and professional burnout that led to his MS diagnosis
✅ The moment he decided to take ownership of his healing journey
✅ How breathwork and nervous system regulation changed everything
✅ The role of purpose, balance, and mindset in sustainable success
✅ What he’s learned about leadership, health, and being truly alive
Mikel’s story is a masterclass in self-awareness and the courage to challenge conventional thinking. From corporate burnout to deep healing, his journey shows what’s possible when we stop living on autopilot and start taking responsibility for our wellbeing.
