Show Notes
Actor and musician Jordi Webber joins me for a conversation about ambition, creativity, identity, and what it really costs to pursue your dreams.
We explore why some people hold onto their biggest dreams while others let them fade, the unseen realities of an artist’s life, and how chasing external validation can slowly disconnect you from yourself. Jordi also opens up about loneliness in his 30s, choosing life over constant work, finding alignment through knowing where you’ve come from and where you’re going, and why spirituality is ultimately the relationship you have with yourself.
We also dive into the state of New Zealand’s creative scene, why artists need to speak up more, and how responsibility can cause many men to lose their sense of play.
If you’ve ever questioned your purpose, felt the pressure to play small, or wondered what it really means to live authentically, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Seb Serrano, also known as 9-5er for an honest conversation about the 9–5. We talk about whether a conventional life is really a mundane one, why doing more isn’t always the answer, and why learning to rest can be an act of self-love. Seb also opens up about his own lost phase, what helped him come through the other side, male depression, his Chilean whakapapa, and one of the things many of us struggle with most: receiving love. A conversation about slowing down, finding your way back to yourself, and questioning whether we’re actually living — or simply getting through the week.

Ethan also shares his proudest moment on Home and Away, his relationship with his brother, and how working on an Australian soap has helped him connect more deeply with his Māori culture. A conversation about identity, success, culture and becoming comfortable with who you are.
