Keegan and Company

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. If you need support, Lifeline is on 13 11 14.

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. Full episode out now.

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.

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.

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.
