  • #259 - AHA (Andrew H. Alcorn): “Get up. Dress up. Show up.”
    Jun 3 2025

    Send us a text

    Andrew H. Alcorn, otherwise known as AHA, is the founder of C Four International, and the creative force behind the legendary Sydney label Censored Skateboards. Over the decades, AHA has played a key role in sponsoring and supporting skateboarders across generations.

    In this episode, we dive into his journey from skater to brand rep, explore the evolution of skate culture in Australia, and unpack what it really takes to build a career around something you love. Known for putting others before himself and steering clear of the spotlight, AHA is deeply respected and has been instrumental in nurturing the culture from the ground up.

    Enjoy,

    Shan

  • YOU GOOD? Are you a NARCISSIST? With Roy Molloy, Scott Spring, Steve Tierney and James McMillan (#258).
    May 24 2025

    Send us a text

    I dive into the complex world of narcissism—what it really is, how it shows up in ourselves, and the impact it has on mental health and relationships. From grandiosity to fragile egos, we explore the fine line between confidence and insecurity, drawing on insights from psychology, personal experience, and phone calls with past guests; Roy Molloy, Scott Spring, Steve Tierney and James McMillan.

    In this episode I reference from the following sources:

    • Rethinking Narcissism – Dr. Craig Malkin
    • The Narcissism Epidemic – Jean M. Twenge & W. Keith Campbell
    • The Mirror Effect – Dr. Drew Pinsky
    • Daring Greatly – Brené Brown
    • DSM-5 (Diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder)

    Enjoy,

    Shan

  • YOU GOOD? Flow State (explained) For Skateboarding and Life (#257).
    May 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever had a session where time disappeared and everything just clicked? That’s flow — and your brain is literally wired for it.

    In this solo episode, I break down the neuroscience of flow, why skating triggers it like nothing else, and how it helps with mental health.

    I reference experts in the field; Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steven Kotler, Jamie Wheal and the literature they have published.

    This episode is part science, part soul — and all skateboarding.
