The Ridiculously Human Podcast
None of us were put on this planet to be a watered down version of ourselves.
In a world where it can seem that people are anti-human and wanting to become cyborg transhumans, this podcast is here to let you know that it’s perfectly ok to be a cool, fun-loving, caring and kind HUMAN!
My desire, through the art of storytelling and story listening, is to share a captivating narrative that traverses everything it means to be human. Not just any human…Ridiculously Human!

RHP#009. Mbulelo Thinta. Ultra-trail Runner, Interlocutor and Host of Bleachers
Interlocutor. Maverick. Man of nature. Dynamic Human. Emcee. Humanitarian. Ultra Trail Runner. Brother. Umbe is of a fine breed. Today he tells us his powerful story Growing up as a black man in South Africa with an ‘adopted’ white family and having a mom who goes to work as a nurse in Saudi Arabia, are not normal occurrences but then this is no ordinary man or story. Our guest oozes with undeniable optimism and hope for the future and as he tells us “The future is not a place we are going, it’s a place we are creating” Meet Mbulelo Thinta or ‘Umbe’ as he is more affectionately known. It’s not that often in life you get to enjoy the company and meet characters like Umbe who speak so openly, honestly and articulately about themselves and their story. From a small town in South Africa called Ogies, near Witbank, his early years are remembered with great love. Even though his rebellious ways begin when he is a young man, sport helps to define, protect and endorse him. A taste for alcohol at 19 leads to creating a self-inflicted negative environment around himself, ultimately manifesting itself into destructive and deceptive behaviour. A catalyst to him turning his life and relationships around begin when a lady explains to him that “A mother is only happy as her unhappiest child”. The topics in the Podcast are a melting-pot and cover things such as apartheid, biochemistry, genetics, the importance of daily routines, philosophy, ultra-trail running, the truth about racism, movement, mindset, humanity and the bright future we all face These days you'll find Umbe running up mountains daily, managing and starting new businesses, studying genetics and biochemistry, emceeing at race finish lines and creating hope for current and future generations. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

RHP#008. Jessie Mundell. Chief Mamma Trainer at JMG Fitness. Prenatal and Postnatal Expert
Fit Mom. Educator. Myth Debunker. Prenatal and Postnatal Expert. Gymnast and Lifter. Online coach and influencer. Jessie is a downright fountain of knowledge. Mostly she is an awesome human Jessie Mundell - is an amazing lady providing so much value, support, care and advice to ladies out there during their pre or postnatal phase of motherhood. With such a big case of misinformation out there, Jessie has stowed it upon herself to develop programs and offer advice which sets the record straight. The reality of pregnancy and birth is that it can be a stressful time and causes profound changes on a woman’s body which sometimes cause months or years of discomfort if not given the right advice or treatment. We were so pleased and grateful to get such a big chunk of Jessie’s time, especially on a Friday evening! She certainly is not one to shy away from hard work and makes the most of her ‘free time’ as a mom to run her business in the early and later hours of the day! Jessie is a salt of the earth type of person who spent most of her early life in the beautiful surroundings of Ontario, Canada. From a young age she was a competitive gymnast and it’s an interesting materialisation when you look at how her life, motherhood and career has panned out with gymnastics being a major influence at the centre of it all. In the Podcast we get into descriptive and technical detail specifically around how particular training can have a detrimental impact when women are trying to conceive. However the great news is that everything is reversible and it’s often much more simple than you may think. We cover terminology and conditions such as abdominal separation, diastasis recti, incontinence, pelvic floor and linea alba among many others. She also debunks a lot of training myths and explains how and why a healthy weightlifting regime is just what mother’s need. She has created and built up a significant and highly successful online training platform and support system for ladies prenatal, antenatal and postnatal. Her programs are not primarily focused on training, they deal with real life issues like body image, mental health, relationships, experience of pregnancy and motherhood There are many fantastic mom’s in the wellness industry and we believe that Jessie is one of the best you will find We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

RHP#007. Eva Claire Marseille. Boeing 747 Pilot and First Officer. Fly with Eva
Pilot. Bookworm. Role model. Social media celebrity. Inspiration to many. Kind, funny and down to earth lady. Eva prompts us to chase our dreams and never give up. Eva Claire Marseille - is such an inspirational lady who has always had a vision of what her perfect day looks like. Her passion, hard work, kindness and perseverance are such powerful traits which we can all learn so much from. Eva grew up in a small town called Haarlem in the Netherlands. She was a self-confessed introvert and bookworm in her early years, absorbing as much dutch literature as she could. A visit to a flying school is the turning point which pivots her studies and career path from journalism to becoming a pilot It really was a huge privilege for us to get so much time with Eva and for her to speak so openly and honestly about her life and what’s makes her the inspirational lady she is today. In the Podcast we cover many interesting things you may wonder about when you think about the lavish lifestyle of pilots. It turns out you may be quite surprised! We were sad to hear about the gender discrimination which still exists in the industry too but how that never stopped her chasing her dream for one split second She now finds herself as a role model and inspiration for many women around the world in all aspects of life. No doubt a role model for many men in life too! Her message is eloquent and simple. If you want something badly enough, you work for it, you work more, you work even more, you never give up, you keep yourself relevant and you keep your dream alive because one day that door is going to open and you will be waiting and ready to take it with both hands and give it your absolute best shot when it comes along! This chat is fun, intriguing, educational and so much more. We are truly grateful to bring you such an inspirational lady. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

RHP#006. John Sanei, Trenovator, Moonshot Chaser, Author and Keynote Speaker
Storyteller. Trenovator. Forever optimist. Lank good bloke. Moonshot chaser. Persian African. The world’s one and only, John Sanei. You just have to listen to this!! John Sanei - what a top man! He is going to inspire and get you motivated through his storytelling and his passion and zest for life From rags to riches, to nothing and back up to riches. His true purpose in life is now in full flight but it’s how he got there which is fascinating, eye-opening, jaw dropping and intriguing to understand The great thing about John and his story is that nothing needs to be made up, nothing is smoke and mirrors, nothing is sensationalised. He tells it as it is, no holds barred and it totally lifts you up! It was such a huge privilege for us to get such a big chunk of John’s time and for him even agreeing to speak with us especially considering a couple of weeks before he was meeting people like Carl Fussman and Larry King Born in Swaziland to his Persian parents, it was an early divorce and being financially challenged as a family which cultivate the type of younger man he becomes. His teenage years and early adulthood are experiential and at times shifty but serve him many valuable lessons early on. In the Podcast we hear how a young personal trainer is able to afford a lavish lifestyle and what it’s like to run the most successful restaurant chain at that time in South Africa. What it’s like to have so much money you don’t know how to spend it and then also having no money at all and not being able to afford a cup of coffee or even toiletries Besides his many achievements and accolades, these days you can mainly find him in his ‘happy place’ on stage speaking to people and organisations around the world. Providing them insight into what the future holds and why we need to be ready for it and get extremely excited about it too! There are so many tools, lessons, anecdotes and ‘between the lines’ sort of stuff in this conversation that are going to get you pumped and invigorated for life. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Gareth Pickering grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa and now is a man with many temporary homes around the world. His life has been very colourful and experimental in many ways. He likes to see the other side of the glass and sets himself challenges to create that space to help him grow. We were really thankful and appreciative to get a good solid amount of time with him to hear his story. He is amazingly sharp and chirpy for someone at 5am in the morning, speaking to us from his kitchen in Antigua, Guatemala In the Podcast we explore many a topic with some real ‘aha moments’. One of those is writing done what your perfect day looks like and using that as a platform to realise what your purpose in life is. An adventurer at heart, Gareth has climbed to the base camp of Mt Everest, scaled Kilimanjaro and cycled 5,000km from South Africa to Tanzania on a single speed bicycle. Helping re-build Kathmandu after the devastating earthquake and raising money for kids in Africa with no access to transport, show us how Ridiculously Human and ridiculously caring this man is We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

RHP#004. Dr Espen Hjalmby, Ninja Warrior and Founder of Bonfire Hot Yoga
Survivor. Believer. Extrovert and Enthusiast. Ninja Warrior. Entrepreneur. Good bloke and Yogi. Espen is the epitome of mind over matter. Today his story explains why. When you hear people’s life stories like Dr Espen, you truly begin to understand what the power of belief can do. While in this day and age, belief systems and positive thinking are still tinkering on the esoteric side of things, they are core principles and philosophies which people are exploring more and more to understand how best to deal with the stresses of our fast paced, modern day life. We were extremely privileged to have Dr Espen on the show and share his story. He was so honest and allowed us to go deep on some truly sad and tragic events which occurred so early on in his life. He is a fine example of seeing opportunity in every situation. Born in the sleepy but beautiful town of Arendal in Norway, he now resides on the Gold Coast of Australia where he coaches, teaches and practises his trade. Early family tragedies, being locked up in prison, breaking both legs and his back in a motorbike accident are events which shape the man we know today. Dr Espen’s belief system is a foundation and pillar of his well-being and gives you a lot to think about when it comes to your own. When you look between the lines, his spirit for life can only inspire you. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
