TWO AM I

The hustle is real. But for Madelyn Carafa, there had to be another way to balance the career she always wanted with motherhood all while looking after her physical, mental and spiritual self. After leaving the corporate world it was her ‘side hustle’ The Healthy Hustlers podcast that ignited her passion to help others fuel their health and wellbeing goals through healthy conversations, while also reinforcing her own desire for greater connection and purpose. The podcast has not only become a hit show but has helped Madelyn redefine many aspects of her life, from the meaning of success, on how to treat balance, understanding everyone’s unique journey, and the importance of embracing love language.

Episode 9: Jack Riewoldt & Shane McCurry They first met at a café in Richmond in Melbourne, and Jack and Shane admit, it was ‘connection at first sight’. The pair realised straight away that they shared a passion for leadership, growth and a fascination for people and their stories. What began as a professional relationship at the Richmond Football Club, turned into a friendship and partnership co-hosting TWO AM I. And in this final episode of Season 4, Jack and Shane reflect on their guests over the past eight episodes, and what they learned from each; from how to embrace your inner child, to believing in yourself and others, and how to breathe through the tough stuff.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   To learn more about Jack and Shane: Jack on Instagram Shane on Instagram Jack on LinkedIn  Shane on LinkedIn Jack and Authentic Leaders Group Shane McCurry   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I Linktree  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 8: Tansel Ali Tansel Ali used to have a terrible memory. He’d forget people’s names, conversations he’d just had, numbers, and even had difficulties remembering what he just read. It was when he started learning ‘memory techniques’ that he realised his memory wasn’t bad, it was just untrained. Tansel was in his early 20s when he discovered memory training, at the same time he learned he needed serious stomach surgery, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. So while he recovered in hospital he put his mind to work. Since then, Tansel has been crowned four-time Australian Memory Sports Champion, memorised two Yellow Pages phone books, authored two books, created educational initiatives for schools and helped people with dyslexia, ADHD, as well as high performance athletes, keynote speakers and corporate leaders.   **We would like to say an extra special thank you to Tansel for recording this episode with us just a few days after his Dad had passed away, we so appreciated his willingness to sit down and chat and be so open. Our condolences to Tansel and his family**   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Tansel Ali:   To learn more about Tansel: Tansel on Instagram Tansel on LinkedIn Tansel on X Tansel on YouTube Tansel Ali website   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 7: Penelope Jordan A bike rave, Korean BBQ, bouldering and pole dancing are just a handful of new things the First Timers Club has tried, since kicking off in January 2024. And Penelope Jordan couldn’t be more thrilled that her idea for a club for curious grown-ups looking to connect with others, has taken off. The genesis for FTC came after she returned from a stint overseas and following Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns, when she and her friend Rosie held their first activity when it was just the two of them. But the popularity has grown, where complete strangers come together to do a thing, realising the ‘first time’ isn’t necessarily about the activity, but rather getting past the fear and anxiety of showing up in the first place.    TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Penelope Jordan:   To learn more about Penelope: First Timers Club on Instagram The First Timers Club website The First Timers Club ABC News The First Timers Club Frankie   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 6: Ben Northey Music was in Benjamin Northey’s blood from a young age, and he credits his teachers at Ballarat Clarendon College for encouraging his path into music where he studied flute, clarinet and saxophone. But it was the belief and mentorship of John Hopkins who encouraged Ben, at age 29, to be the first candidate for his new Master of Music in Conducting degree at the Victorian College of the Arts and Music that he will never forget. Now as Chief Conductor of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor, Artistic Advisor Learning and Engagement of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Ben says he’s one of the luckiest people he knows because he loves what he does. From conducting orchestras the world over, to collaborating with big names including Tim Minchin, James Morrison, Sting and Hilltop Hoods, Ben is living his dream and is ever grateful for those who helped him get there.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Benjamin Northey:   To learn more about Ben: Ben on Instagram Ben on LinkedIn Benjamin Northey website Ben Northey on Wikipedia Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Ben Northey Christchurch Symphony Orchestra: Ben Northey   Links from this episode: Edward Elgar: English composer Finland’s Sibelius Academy Vladimir Jurowsky: Conductor John Hopkins: Conductor & mentor London Philharmonic Orchestra   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I Linktree  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 5: Megan Waters “Life is short. Live it fully and healthily.” It’s an important mantra for Megan Waters, borne from a very hard life lesson. Losing her Dad and best friend not only broke her for a time, but it also gave her the strength to refocus her life, redefine what health and wellness means to her, and find a new path forward. Megan is now the presenter of NITV’s Yokayi Footy, a Nike Trainer, ambassador and host, breathwork facilitator, and as a proud Warumungu/Yawuru woman, raised on Larrakia Country in Darwin, her connection to culture and country is a strong and a significant passion. While she has made Melbourne home, there’s nothing she loves more than returning to Darwin, taking her shoes off, and sinking into the earth there, that grounds her. In this episode, we take a few deep breaths with Megan Waters.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Megan Waters:   To learn more about Megan: Megan on Instagram Megan on LinkedIn Megan: Keynote Entertainment Megan on Linktree   Links from this episode: The Breath Haus Inner Studio SBS Yokayi Footy Airlocker Training Brunswick The Obstacle is the way    Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 4: James Van Cuylenburg   Ask Dr James Van Cuylenburg if he’d rather be a rock star or clinical psychologist and he simply can’t choose between his two loves. James spends his days helping others navigate life, and by night moonlighting on the stage as the great Billy Joel, among other music legends, performing across Victoria. While James primarily works with adults, couples and families in his day job, his fascination with how we are shaped as children remains a big focus, especially tapping into the child self and embracing the joy of childhood and the importance of imagination, play and fun. But he’s candid about what he sees as the biggest challenge for humans today, and that’s the growing need for self-acceptance and self-compassion, and his wish and goal to teach as many people as possible to give a generous read of themselves as they do for others.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest James Van Cuylenburg.   To learn more about James: James on Instagram James on YouTube Psychology Team Music Legends Productions Music Legends Productions Facebook   Links from this episode: Jonathon Haidt: The Anxious Generation  You’re a good kid podcast You’re a good kid podcast Instagram The Tealeaves   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 3: Callum Linnane Callum Linnane’s love affair with dance began at the age of seven at his primary school in Ballarat. And his determination, perfectionist tendencies and unbreakable work ethic underpinned his rise through the ranks of The Australian Ballet to be named Principal Artist in 2022 – a role he relished from a young age. Despite this incredible achievement, Callum is a humble human, described in Harper’s Bazaar as “the boy-next-door with a tinge of rock star he doesn’t know he possesses. His presence walks into a room before his body does.” Callum may have climbed this mountain, but he isn’t done yet, and his biggest wish is to build a better world where people are free to try new things and not ridiculed for their choices.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Callum Linnane:   To learn more about Callum: Callum on Instagram Callum on Facebook Callum Linnane Principal Artist, The Australian Ballet   Links from this episode: The Australian Ballet The Australian Ballet on Instagram The Australian Ballet on Facebook The Australian Ballet Wikipedia   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
