  #201 The Psychology of Obsession: A Healthy Dose, and When It Crosses the Line 18.08.2026 16мин

  In this episode, we discuss the difference between motivation, discipline and obsession, and why they behave like three different fuel sources rather than three settings of the same one. We get into the 2017 research on self control that found the most disciplined people are not the ones winning daily fights with themselves, they are the ones who face fewer fights in the first place. We talk about discipline as obsession residue, the two kinds of passion that look identical from the outside and run in opposite directions underneath, the red flags that show the needle has gone too far, and Craig Alexander asking himself at the back end of his career whether he was being selfish. Keegan lands on where he sits on the spectrum, and leaves you with the question he could not shake: if the thing disappeared tomorrow, would you still know who you are.

  200 Episode Q&A: What Motivates Me? Dream Guest? "It's Okay to Not Have It All Figured Out" 16.08.2026 44мин

  This is episode 200. In the last hundred episodes I got married, found out I am about to become a dad, and took this podcast full time. I ran Tokyo, Boston and London, with Berlin, Chicago and New York still to come. We brought on our first full time staff member, and we have not missed a weekly episode in three and a half years. Thank you to everyone who has listened along the way. In this episode, I answer the same nine questions past guests recorded for episode 100, and then I watch back what I said the first time and react to it. I talk about the advice from Ali Day I have done every day since, finding out my partner was pregnant on the second of January, sitting in my car at the shops unable to see a way forward, and the stranger who knocked on the window. I cover what I do for my own mental health, why rest turned out to be the fuel rather than the reward, and the whats next for Keegan & Company. This podcast is supported by Denza.

  #199 Eddie Hearn: What It Takes to Be Great, "You Will Never Outwork Me" 11.08.2026 38мин

  This week on a special edition of the Keegan & Company Podcast we welcome Eddie Hearn. Eddie Hearn took over a promotion built by his father and turned it into the biggest name in world boxing. He runs around forty fight nights a year. This year Matchroom landed in Australia. A new deal with Foxtel brings seven of those cards onto Australian soil, available on Kayo, and the first is at The Star on the Gold Coast, headlined by Teremoana Teremoana and Michael Zerafa. The morning before the card, Eddie and Keegan ran 5k together and then sat down on the sand and recorded this. Grateful he gave us the time.In this episode, we discuss growing up as Barry Hearn's son and why outperforming a successful father is its own kind of hard start, the drive behind his rule that nobody in his industry will ever outwork him, and why the person with a nine to five walking this beach can be more successful than the billionaire. We also discuss consistency (keep banging on the door, it might take one bang or a thousand), why his favourite saying, this too shall pass, is really about the good times, what interviewing Adam Peaty, Mark Cavendish, Mo Farah and Frank Lampard taught him about the cost of obsession, the selfishness it takes to be the best at anything, and the legacy he wants to leave by making boxing a prominent sport in Australia.

  #198 Johnny Gannon: Bra Boy to Black Belt on Grit, Self Respect and Staying Curious 09.08.2026 57мин

  Johnny Gannon grew up in Maroubra in the Bra Boys era, when you did not talk about your problems and showing any weakness put you at the bottom of the pile. He has spent the last 25 years on the jiu-jitsu mats, took nearly 20 years to earn his black belt, and now runs eight-week health challenges with chapters right across Australia. At 54 he still trains most days, teaches his three kids, and is as curious as he has ever been. We were stoked to get him in. In this episode, we discuss how training became his way of coping, why he reckons you have to look after number one before you can look after anyone else, and the mate who told him to respect himself. He explains his wheel of health, the eight-week challenge that has people quitting the drink for good, and learning to hold his breath for three and a half minutes on an empty lung by getting curious instead of scared. We also get into the Bra Boys years, the grit that came out of them, and what he wants for his own kids instead. This podcast is supported by Denza.

  #197 Why Resilience Is the Skill Behind Every World Record | Lessons from the Canning Stock Route 05.08.2026 20мин

  Dr Geoff Wilson kite skied 5,306 kilometres across Antarctica on his own, the longest solo unsupported polar journey anyone has done. He holds a stack of other polar records and works as a vet in between them. Keegan spent two weeks with him on the Canning Stock Route, a recce for Geoff's next crossing, 1850 kilometres of Western Australian desert by wind power. Keegan recorded this one alone at sunrise, at the end of the trip. What stood out was not Geoff's fitness or his gear. It was how fast he came back to baseline when everything went wrong. In this episode, we discuss why emotional regulation is the skill behind Geoff's world records, the campfire conversations about building resilience in adults and in kids, the suicide rate among vets and the resilience training Geoff runs for his staff, why comfort quietly costs us, Keegan getting rag dolled out of a kite buggy for an hour before it all finally clicked, the experienced four wheel drivers who said the crossing was not possible, working within your means instead of jumping to extremes, the 50 kilometre ultra that made Keegan hate running for 18 months, and why the more space you have above your head, the bigger the idea gets.

  #196 Geoff Wilson: 1800km Across the Desert by Wind & Why Hard Times Make Good People 02.08.2026 38мин

  Geoff Wilson is one of the most experienced adventurers in the world, with a particular affinity for wind powered travel. He's crossed Antarctica (and holds the world record for doing so), the Sahara Desert and the Simpson Desert, to name a few. His latest mission is to cross the Canning Stock Route, an 1,850km route regarded as the most remote 4WD track in the world, using wind power or human power alone. This episode was recorded on the reconnaissance mission to scout out the project, shot in the Tanami Desert just outside Billiluna, WA. Thanks Geoff for having us out there. In this episode, we discuss how a wind powered crossing actually works, why the people who've walked this track by camel say the vegetation makes it impossible, kiting into Billiluna and the kids who'd never seen a kite before, why he changes kites instead of persisting with one that half works, the ice bath course and the young vet who wouldn't put her toe in, suicide in veterinary science, losing his dad and his best mate in the same twelve months, and why he thinks hard times make good people.

  #195 Alex Boyce (Sun Devil): Building the Viral Coffee Shop & Hitting Rock Bottom After Closing The Doors 26.07.2026 1ч 7мин

  Alex Boyce is the founder and owner of Sun Devil. He grew up in Arizona and moved to the Gold Coast in his twenties. A few years later he started Sun Devil started as a farmers market stall, soon enough there were queues of 70+ people to get their hands on a Sun Devil coffee, before the doors shut overnight. In this episode, we discuss why he stayed silent when the rumours started, the decision to only ever do cold coffee, what it does to a business when one video changes the volume overnight, why Keegan thinks good marketing makes a bad product fail faster (Sun Devil has a good product), what money does to friendships, what happened during the months after the doors shut, and the stretch he describes as the first time he actually understood what depression was. This episode includes discussion of depression and suicidal thoughts.

  #194 Clint Kimmins Big Wave Surfer & Triathlete: No One's Coming to Save You 19.07.2026 1ч 28мин

  Clint Kimmins has chased 60 foot waves at Nazaré and finished Ironmans. The thing he's most proud of is surviving six months in a maximum security prison. He went in at the peak of his surfing career with a beer belly and came out an athlete. This week we sat down with the big wave surfer and long course triathlete to talk about the surf club brawl that put him inside, the pile of letters that showed him he was actually loved, and the mindset that got him through the door on day one. We get into the harder stuff too. Losing his mum, the morning he woke to a voice memo from his dad, and how the two of them talk more now than they have in twenty years. And then there's Nazaré. One of the biggest days ever, borrowed gear, the wrong vest, over the falls near the cliff, held under longer than he's ever been. He calls it the best thing that's ever happened to him.

  Moments #23 Harry Garside: Softness, Masculinity & the Olympic Medal That Didn't Make Him a Man 15.07.2026 14мин

  Harry Garside won an Olympic boxing medal, then sat in hotel quarantine with it around his neck, crying, because the thing he'd chased for sixteen years still hadn't made him feel like a man. He started boxing at nine because he felt soft next to his two older brothers, and spent most of his life wearing what he calls an impenetrable armour to hide it. This Moment is about the version of masculinity you never stop having to prove, why external validation stopped working once he finally had it, and what he found underneath when he went looking internally instead. We first ran this conversation in December, recorded a few weeks earlier in November 2025. After the response to our recent chat with Luke Bateman on shame and vulnerability, Harry's take felt worth putting back in front of you. Still one of our favourites.

  #193 Luke Bateman: Ex NRL Player turned Fantasy Author, Why Vulnerability Is the Antidote to Shame 12.07.2026 1ч 23мин

  While Luke Bateman was playing in the NRL, his mum was paying his mortgage and ordering food to his door. Gambling had taken every cent he had, and hundreds of thousands more he didn't. This week Keegan sits down with Luke Bateman: former NRL player, now an author, keynote speaker and one of the more honest voices going around on shame and addiction. We get into the gambling that spiralled in 2018, the suicidal low that followed, rehab and the 12 steps, and the tiny one-minute promises he used to start trusting himself again. He explains why vulnerability is the antidote to shame, why he hid his love of books from teammates for twenty years, and the fantasy novel that handed him a blueprint for who he wanted to become. Also in here: values as a decision filter, boundaries, and why he says he wouldn't change any of it for himself but wouldn't wish it on anyone.

  Moment #22 Kieran Foran on Rock Bottom, Rehab and Just Wanting Peace 08.07.2026 16мин

  This episode discusses suicide and addiction. If it brings anything up for you, Lifeline is 13 11 14 and 13YARN is 13 92 76.In 2016 Kieran Foran had just signed a $4.8 million contract to be a leader. Privately he was gambling, barely sleeping, and had started to think his two young kids would be better off without him - a thought he goes on to be his biggest regret... We recorded this with Kieran in January 2025 and it is one of the most honest conversations we have had on the show, so we are resurfacing it as a Moment. He takes us right back to learning to cope the wrong way as a teenager, the loop of therapy and relapse, the night he decided he was done, and what recovery actually looked like after that. Two rehab stints. Handing his finances to his wife. Just wanting a peaceful sleep. Almost ten years on, he is in a very different place. Since we spoke Kieran has retired and stepped straight into a head coaching role, and it has been nothing short of incredible to watch. He has earned it.

  #192 Jason Cadee: Australian Basketball Player, Four Words From My Coach That Changed How I Led 05.07.2026 51мин

  Jason Cadee spent 15 years as a professional basketball player, 424 games across the NBL. It nearly ended before it began. At 18, not long after breaking into the Australian senior set-up, he was hit side-on by a semi-trailer at 100km/h on a Sydney freeway and trapped in the wreck for 90 minutes. He came out with a broken pelvis and, somehow, barely a mark on him. This week we sit down with Jason to get into the crash and what it did and didn't teach him, why becoming a dad landed harder than any near miss, the single piece of leadership advice that changed how he led, and what it actually takes to walk away from the only thing you've ever known and start again. Both his parents played for Australia, so basketball was never optional. Stopping was the hard part.

  Moment #21 Tim Tszyu: Flow State, Fluke Punches and the Shower Reset 01.07.2026 14мин

  We recorded this with Tim Tszyu last year, and his shower story keeps coming up in recent episodes, so we have pulled fifteen minutes of it back out of the vault. Tim is a former world champion from Sydney, and boxing runs deep in the family. His dad Kostya was an undisputed world champion and Hall of Famer, and his younger brother Nikita fights professionally too. Since we spoke he has strung together back to back wins, the most recent over Denis Nurja on Easter Sunday, and on 26 July he steps in with Errol Spence Jr in Sydney, the biggest fight of his career. We appreciate him making the time back when he did. In this section, Tim describes what a flow state actually feels like from inside the ropes. The place where the world switches off, time slows down, where he can "hear his opponent's heartbeat". He explains why there is no such thing as a fluke punch, and how one clean right hand is really years of repetition. We get into stacking days, staying hungry when success comes easily, and why he refuses to get comfortable. He talks about the emptiness of his first loss and how it made him want to reclaim his throne, the five weeks between that loss and his wedding that finally gave him some balance, and the shower ritual he uses to wash off a hard day and reset before a fight. Plus the training methods he chose not to inherit from his dad, and the grandfather who still tells him he looks fat.

  #191 Charlotte Caslick: 3x Olympian Rugby 7s Player on Training Through Pregnancy & Why Trying Hard Is Cool 28.06.2026 1ч

  Charlotte Caslick has played three Olympic Games, two Commonwealth Games and three rugby World Cups, and the moment that shaped her wasn't a win. It was a friend texting her that young girls watch her play and think trying hard is cool, because she makes it look cool. This week we sat down with Charlotte while she's pregnant with her first child and still training through it, broken Broncos and all. We talked about the season she debuted out of position and cried at training while secretly hoping to fall pregnant, the leg break that took the World Cup and the pregnancy off the table in the same week, finding a new sense of purpose before she'd stopped playing, and the one line she posted after Paris that ended up in the New York Times.

  #190 The Psychology of Monotasking: Why Being Bored Makes You More Creative 23.06.2026 14мин

  A quick glance at your phone doesn't cost you ten seconds. The research says it costs you closer to twenty three minutes of real focus. This week is a solo one on the psychology of monotasking, doing one thing at a time, and why it might be the most underrated upgrade for anyone who works, writes, studies or creates. Keegan makes the case for single focus over the constant juggle, and he's honest that he's a recovering serial multitasker himself. He gets into why boredom is the engine of creativity, the real cost of switching between tasks, what putting headphones in on a hard run is actually doing, and the weekend his phone broke that left him calmer than he'd been in a long time. It is not about optimising every second of your life. It is about knowing when to give one thing everything you've got.

  #189 Oliver Foran: Mount Everest World Record (Sea Level to Summit), Losing his Mum 16 & Finding His Why 22.06.2026 1ч 41мин

  Oliver Foran just set the world record from Sea Level to Summit of Mount Everest: travelling from the coast of India to the summit of Mount Everest under his own power. 50 days, for youth mental health, and for his mum. He is a self-described normal bloke from Brisbane who lost his mum to brain cancer at 16 and bottled it for eight years. This year he cycled across India in 42 degree heat, broke down on day four, and found the one lesson that got him up the mountain. We talk about the avalanche that buried his tent, crevasses 30 metres deep, a blood oxygen reading of 47 (anything under 80 is considered deadly), standing on top of the world, and what is next...

  #188 The Psychology of Doomscrolling | The 3 Rules That Gave Me 90 Minutes Back Every Day 16.06.2026 12мин

  Do you spend more than two hours a day on social media? I know I sure do sometimes. The reality is those of us who do are three times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. In this episode we break down some simple steps to claw some of that time back. In this solo Psychology Of episode we break down the psychology of doomscrolling. It starts with a TED talk from the three founders of the Minimalists, who built an audience of four million people and then quit social media completely for twelve months, and the surprising thing they realised on the other side of it. From there I walk through my three favourite tools, the ones I've put in place that actually stuck, the comparison trap of social media, and why none of this is actually about quitting - completely.

  #187 Adam Elliott: Injury, Grief & Fatherhood In One Year 14.06.2026 44мин

  This week we sat down with Adam Elliott. He signed his first NRL contract at 14 and has played nearly 200 games since. Last year tested all of it. His dad died of cancer. His partner was pregnant, his bicep was ruptured, his contract was up, and for the first time in a career that started as a teenager, people were openly questioning whether he could still play. So he leant in, kept putting in the work on his own, and landed a spot at South Sydney under Wayne Bennett. Despite all the challenges reckons he has never felt more grateful for what footy has given him. We get into the last conversations he had with his dad and the words his old man left him with, what it actually takes to keep going when the doubt is loudest, the dinner-plate trick he uses to stay a present father, why he still writes things down, and the moment his brother James became part of the team.

  #186 Alexis Fernandez (DYFM?) The Neuroscience of Connection, Creativity & Heartbreak 07.06.2026 1ч 5мин

  Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa is a cognitive neuroscientist, best-selling author and host of one of the world's biggest psychology podcasts, Do You F*cking Mind? She is also one of the warmest, most down-to-earth people to ever sit across the mic from Keegan. We talked about the fluke that pulled her out of acting and into neuroscience (one guest lecture, a slide of a dissected brain, and a snap decision to change her major), and why she reckons passion never just shows up at your door fully formed. We got into monotasking, the dog walks with no headphones and the shower ideas that come when you finally let your mind be bored, and the line that stuck with Keegan: your thoughts get quieter and your creativity gets louder. Alexis broke down the Gottman research on "bids for connection" and the tennis-ball rule that quietly decides whether couples last, the "treat them like the love of your life for three months" experiment that ended in a marriage, why desperation is really just fear of loss, and how to actually move through a breakup, including the science of the tactical cry. Plus becoming a present dad, the nights being long but the years being short, and Alexis's three pillars of happiness: growth, purpose and connection.

  #185 Kori Sampson: You Can't Outthink Your Mental Health — Sobriety, ADHD & the Marathon Majors 31.05.2026 1ч 6мин

  You can't outthink your mental health problems. You can sit at home and ruminate, or you can get outside and move. One of those makes it worse. The other doesn't fix everything, but it's a foundation. Strong body first, stronger mind from there. Kori got sober nearly four years ago, got diagnosed with ADHD, and has spent the years since chasing bigger and bigger things. His first marathon, then a 50k in the Alps, a 220km race in Africa, running the entire length of England. Now he's signed with On and completing all the World Marathon Majors. We discuss what drove him to keep going bigger. What was the point of it all? Why running across a country didn't give him the fulfilment he expected, and how he came to realise that bigger isn't always better. That at some point, you've done enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
