This episode you will discover just what it takes to live in constant danger and come out, not hardened, but resilient.

This Australia Day, Think Uncommon releases a conversation that cuts through the noise. Dave Oneeglio is ranked among the world’s top ten truth tellers and an unapologetic Australian patriot. He doesn’t speak to impress. He speaks to wake people up, regardless of the cost. In this episode, we go beyond opinions and into first principles: * What it really means to tell the truth in a world addicted to comfort * Why character matters more than popularity * How national pride, personal responsibility, and leadership are being quietly eroded — and what it takes to hold the line. This is not a debate. Released for Australia Day intentionally, because more than ever truth, courage, and identity are worth standing for.

In this episode, I speak with Jaxon Italiano, the  22 year old Australian who surpassed David Goggins’ 24-hour pull-up record, completing over 8,000 pull-ups. This isn’t about hype or suffering as spectacle, but what sustained execution demands when fatigue removes emotion and effort becomes structural. When a man refuses to give up and instead chooses to: StayHard. We explore how Jaxon's curiosity led him to continue training to see what he could do, ultimately resulting in a World Record in way less than 24 hours. What's next for Jaxon? Everest...

I sat down with billionaire Hugh Hilton for a sharp 15-minute interview about mergers & acquisitions, pivotal career moments, and the values his father taught him that shape his decision-making process. Hugh shares stories about overcoming failure, negotiating boldly, standing by integrity, knowing when to hold or sell assets, and why curiosity and creativity are essential to lasting success.

Jo sits down with Barnaby Howarth — a Type 1 diabetic, stroke survivor, and former Sydney Swans player — who embodies what this show stands for: refusing to break when life demands it. After a king hit and a stroke that left him on life support, Barnaby rebuilt everything — finishing his book, earning his journalism Diploma, filming documentaries, climbing Kilimanjaro, returning to AFL for his 100th game, and being inducted into the Sydney AFL Hall of Fame. His journey proves an Uncommon truth: sometimes the most extraordinary life is the one you learn to love when everything else is stripped away.
