This week’s guest is founder of the Drifter surf shops in Bali, surfer, charger, parent, entrepreneur and all around rad human...Mr Jake Mackenzie! This week, Jake is with me live and on location at Drifter surf shop in Bingin, Bali, to checkin, share journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future. Jake is vibrating high in this episode and it was abundantly obvious from the very start that he is in a very inspired time of his life. Jake discusses his meditation practice, favourite shapers, the importance of friendships, family, parenting teenagers, the Bombie and yep, he raps Wham lyrics at the start. Lots of fun and a real treat getting him and Kristyan Stjerne (who is this week's special guest co-host) together on the couch in Drifter. Good times.
Enjoy,
Shan

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.
