Blake Johnson is a surfer, entrepreneur, and successful business owner. Originally from Wollongong Australia, Blake now lives in Bali with his girlfriend Jess. Since arriving in Bali two years ago, Blake founded two cafes and a coffee roasting distribution company called Coffee Cartel.  Blake's business savvy has allowed him to create a lifestyle on his terms, and at the age of 30, he has acquired knowledge and skills well beyond his years. Blake possesses innate confidence, calmness, and kindness in all that he does. I believe these qualities have allowed him to achieve the success that he has at a young age. Blake is a firm believer in hard work, dedication and challenging the notion of stereotypical, traditional education and career pathways. Blake finds his solace in the ocean, he has found his happy place at Nusa Lembongan, and he is on the show to talk about his journey so far, challenges, experiences, and hopes for the future.

You'll find a particular kind of honesty in the conversations on Terrible. Happy, a podcast that sounds like a late-night chat in a backyard after a long day at the skatepark. Host Shan sits down with a rotating cast of characters from the Australian skateboarding scene and beyond, but the talk rarely stays on just tricks and terrain. It naturally veers into the messy, funny, and deeply human stuff that happens off the board: the struggles with fitness, the odd jobs that pay the bills, the mental health ups and downs, and the pure, alternative comedy of everyday life. This isn't a polished production; it's the raw audio of community, capturing the specific voices and stories that make this culture tick. Listeners will hear genuine interviews that feel more like catching up with an old mate, punctuated by the occasional chaos of THT Radio segments. It’s about finding the connection and the laughter in the grind, whether that's on four wheels or just trying to get through the week. The result is a uniquely Australian show that’s less about sports commentary and more about the shared, sometimes terrible, often happy reality of the people within it.
