Cooper Chapman is a former top-100 professional surfer who has transformed his passion for riding waves into a mission for improving mental health and wellbeing. Cooper is the founder of The Good Human Factory, an organisation dedicated to equipping everyday Aussies with practical mental health tools. Drawing from his elite sports background and personal journey, Cooper shares how small, consistent habits, such as spending just 14 minutes a day on gratitude and meditation, can make a world of difference. His new book, The 1% Good Club, unpacks this philosophy and provides actionable tips for living a clearer, calmer, and more intentional life. If you’re looking for inspiration to take charge of your own wellbeing—one small step at a time—this is a must-listen conversation. Key topics 1.
