Brett Harriott is a husband, martial artist, and the founder of Fit2Fight Boxing Boutique. Brett began pursuing his passion 31 years ago and has since competed, instructed and coached Boxing, Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts at the highest levels. His involvement in the industry has led to travels around the globe, competing, training and being the corner-man for some of the best in the world. Brett has an affinity with Thailand, its people and culture. A place that has shaped and moulded his skills, techniques, work-ethic and personality. Aside from holding a Bachelor Degree in Physical Education, Brett’s journey has also led him to being a fitness and conditioning coach for National Rugby League teams and beyond. Basically, his resume in the boxing and fitness industry is no joke. Those that have trained under Brett, can testify that he possesses an innate ability to squeeze the best out of people. Hard, humble, nurturing and inspiring, you just feel stoked to be around him. He’s my kind of influencer.  After training with Brett on and off for many years, and witnessing his journey quietly from afar, I am in awe of the facility he has created at the Fit2Fight boxing boutique. It is the culmination of a lifetime of hard work, passion and dedication, but most importantly somewhat of a legacy for the community he has created with his wife and their team. In this week's episode, Brett is with me (literally) in the ring to share his journey, experiences, challenges 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.
