Paul Watkins is a self-described "nerdy Dad, of average height and poor eyesight....much closer to Harry Potter than Bear Grylls". So how does a Harry Potter-esque guy from Warrnambool find himself in -30° in the Arctic Circle, leading a 600kms footrace? Does he jump out of bed every morning ready to train (spoiler alert....he doesn't)? And why has he climbed the highest peaks on every continent, but has no interest in Mt Everest?

In 2023, Ted Collins signed with Livson Racing for the Australian Superbike Championship. Ted grew up in Warrnambool and wanted nothing else but to race road bikes. At the age of 12, he was doing over 150km/h on his first bike and now does over 300km/h, alongside the best racers in the country.

We talk about how a boy from Warrnambool reached the top despite not having a track nearby, about his battles with Delayed Concussion following two crashes in 2019 and I ask him stupid questions like "Can I just buy the same bike from BMW and race it?"

Sam Munro bought a home brew kit at the end of 2019, and by the middle of 2022 is co-founder of the Middle Island Brewing Co. The Warrnambool-based brewery has four beers to it's name and is stocked in over 30 pubs, restaurants and bottleshops.

But how did Sam and Co go from a simple home brew kit to that in such a short time, what goes into brewing a beer and can you patent a beer recipe?
