Uh, O- O- Ollie, has this been your best season, do you think, in AFL football so far?

Um, I think potentially this has been, like, the most enjoyable season I've had, and, um, in terms of, you know, footy, I think definitely the most consistent, um, I've done.

Uh, and I think that's sort of, um, you know, just trying to change a few things, um, throughout the preseason and, um, yeah, going into this year, um, having a clear mind on what I need to do.

So, um, yeah, I, I guess I would probably would say it's the best season, um, definitely the most enjoyable season I've had.

But w- has it been a little more unusual to realize or what life's like without him as the, as the cornerstone?

Um, oh, look, it's, it's sort of, um...

It's always sort of like a changing piece, um, here at Geelong.

There's always sort of, um, you know, magnets going around the, around the ground and, uh, I think, you know, he, he has such a good kick and, um, very smart player.

Oli, has this been your best season, do you think, in AFL football so far? I

think...

Potentially, this has been the most enjoyable season I've had.

In terms of footy, I think definitely the most consistent I've done.

I think that's just trying to change a few things throughout the pre-season and going into this year, having a clear mind on what I need to do.

I guess I probably would say it's the best season.

Definitely the most enjoyable season I've had.

He's up in the forward line but has it been a little more unusual to realise what life's like without him as the cornerstone?

yeah awesome and rain just in time for the girls yeah i know classic always the way hair and makeup just right um you guys came off a good win off the weekend and you're flowing into finals but um we'll chat about that in a little bit but um ollie i want to touch on your season at the moment you're having a ripper of a season um i get to watch how hard you work as well um on your footy and how much it means to you but 40 goals so far um how are you feeling this season

Um yeah no I've had a lot of fun this season it's gone very quick um and I can't believe you know finals just around the corner um so yeah I guess that's sort of gone quick because it's been quite an enjoyable year where

What have you worked on old to sort of um get yourself into the game and be able to hit the scoreboard like you have?

Yeah, it's a tough question.

I guess like pre-season was sort of the most important part, just setting everything up and getting as fit as I possibly could and sort of trying to maintain those sort of pre-season standards during the year.

And, you know, when it gets winter and cold, you know, it's pretty easy to dive into, you know, a rabbit hole of, you know, habits that aren't probably too good for your footy.

But yeah, just trying to keep it as fun and yeah.

So what was the messaging from Scotty and the crew at half time before you ran back out?

Um, [laughs] to be honest, nights like, you know, this, it's all such a blur.

So, um, remembering what he actually said, um, you know, is, is gonna be tough to remember.

But, um, uh, it, it all sort of is around the basis of, you know, we've just done really solid first half and, you know, let's n-not give them an inch and, um, you know, you need to, you need to really squash, you know, teams when they start to get momentum and, um, you know, I think that's sort of the messaging, um, that, you know, probably was laid out and what we probably needed to execute a little bit better.

Can you take us inside the forward group and how you've had to restructure things on the run this season?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, it's, it's an interesting one.

I'm sure watching it, there's, you know, probably a big difference, you know, in, uh, how we play and, um, internally, I don't think, you know, we, you know, really restructure anything.

Do you feel you're, you're tracking as, as well from a goal perspective as, uh, as those previous two good seasons?

Um, I mean, I, I, I haven't really thought too much about sort of, uh, this year in compared to any other year goal kicking wise.

Um, think, I think what I would sort of, um, sort of feel is, you know, I'm, I'm as confident as I've ever been.

Um, and I think that just is something that is probably, um, important if I wanted to, you know, hit the scoreboard and, um, all that sort of stuff.

But, um, yeah, I mean, I think, I guess, yeah, I mean, I'm tracking, tracking okay, and just wanna keep playing some consistent footy.

Ollie, do you still feel you can do some damage in 2026 as a team, uh, despite these injuries that are mounting?

Yeah, absolutely.

Um, I, I definitely think, uh, the remaining sort of six games for us, uh, if we can sort of, you know, play a consistent game of footy for each of those games, I think, I think we, we'll be quite potent and, um, yeah, be quite hard to beat.

So my first question is, what exactly has gone wrong with workplace wellbeing?

I don't think anything has necessarily gone wrong.

I think that wellbeing is, it's just so nuanced, right? It's so complex.

You're probably sitting there with a completely different set of lived experience to what I've had, completely understanding of what wellbeing means to you.

And the same goes for every colleague, every manager, every, every person that you interact with.

So I think that organizations start on the back foot when it comes to wellbeing.

And in my mind, yes, health and wellbeing ultimately as an outcome is important, but when you reframe the definition of wellbeing and you rethink the purpose of what it's there for, sometimes the implementation and the programs and the way that you approach things start to shift.

[gentle music] What are the main barriers to achieving positive wellbeing at work right now in your view?

Wow.

And it just came about from Instagram DMs.

So I've been posting videos of my time in America whilst traveling, traveling for the World Cup, starting in Dallas, um, to Boston, et cetera.

And these videos have just blown up and caught the White House's attention.

[laughs]

No, but it did make me laugh, 'cause I, I went on the day, um, of the England-Mexico game, and it was very close to kickoff when I left, and I said, "Oh, no, I'm gonna be late." And then halfway in the Uber, the kickoff was delayed, so I thought he'd put a call in especially for me, but-

that

you think you owe the United States an apology.

For what? I just think with the World Cup going on and the lead up to the World Cup, there was a lot of uncertainty about what it's going to be like.

There was people mentioning about the pitches were roll on turf and it's not going to be safe for the players.

None of that came to fruition.

The pitches have been great.

There's been no problems with the players.

And the thing that everybody watching wants to know, how is it that you became the one visiting international fan who got to meet Donald Trump?

How does something like that happen?

Honestly, I don't really know.

I've come out for the World Cup.

I came to Dallas, Texas, and started documenting my journey on social media.

And the content sort of blew up.

It went viral.

And the great American people started a GoFundMe to help keep me in America whilst I was here, which took me to Boston.

But that's what, like, your friends and family back home are hearing from the BBC.

Let's see how we do this.

Sure.

So one, I use my OpenClaw agent, Larry, who automates all my TikTok marketing, and this is one of the main reasons why it hasn't scaled into thousands of MRR is because I am only doing this on one TikTok currently, and then I've got one TikTok for each of my apps that I'm trying to do before I start scaling.

And this one is in a very good position to start scaling.

To give you the background context of how this app came about, I created the app because, uh, we moved into a house.

Me and my girlfriend moved into a house, and we wanted to decorate the house.

We were using ChatGPT, and I very quickly learned that she was not very good at prompting ChatGPT, and it was giving all sorts of random messages.

Mm

Have you thought of that? Like, go out on Reddit and X and YouTube and find people talking about how to get better at a skill?

Yeah, so not, not particularly the skill, but when I first created Larry, I installed him, and I headed out of the house.

I went to a soccer match, and I was in the stadium knowing exactly what I wanted to do, texting him about the goal of this marketing that I wanted to achieve, and the first thing we did was sent him into the world on X, using the bird skill before it sort of got... became a gray area with X, and sent him the accounts that I follow that show post-slideshow content, marketing content for apps, and I had him just research all that data and see what worked, just to get to a point where we could start.

And now I don't really have to do that anymore, 'cause he's, he's building his own data, and of course, this is gonna vary by product to product, so you just have to start, and if you're not getting the hundred... tens of thousands of views to start, just wildly create different content.

Tell your agent, use the Larry skill.

Say, "Create different content until something works." At the very bottom of this page, we experimented with faces, so people with different reactions.

They didn't get any views, and then as soon as we posted this one, twenty thousand views, and we would double down, and it's taken off.

I think that's gonna become a theme for 2026.
