This week I sat down with Simmo Braun, and this one is a little different — and I love it.


Simmo is a father of three, a committed blood donor, wellness advocate, workshop facilitator and the man behind The Bloody Good Tour — an adventure around Australia on a mission to save 100,000 lives through blood donation.'

This conversation really got me. We talk about the power of contribution as one of the most underrated pillars of wellbeing, and how something as simple as giving blood — which takes less than an hour — saves three lives every single time. Three lives. From one donation.


I also share something I didn't realise until speaking with Simmo — I always assumed my tattoos meant I couldn't donate blood, and it turns out that hasn't been the case for years. If you've been sitting on the same assumption, this episode is for you. There are thousands of Australians in exactly the same boat, and this conversation will change that.


We are also doing something really special off the back of this chat. I have signed up to give my very first blood donation on July 31st — Bloody Good Human Day — and I want you to come with me. We have set up a team called the Bloody Good Humans Factory and I want our community to be part of something that could genuinely save hundreds of lives together.


Doing good feels good. Let's go.


In this episode we cover:

  • Simmo's journey and the mission behind The Bloody Good Tour
  • Why every blood donation saves three lives
  • The importance of contribution as a pillar of wellbeing
  • Why so many Australians wrongly think they can't donate
  • Tattoos, hereditary traits and other myths around blood donation
  • Cooper's first ever blood donation on July 31st
  • How the Good Human Factory community can get involved together
  • Why Bloody Good Human Day on July 31st matters
  • The power of small acts creating massive collective impact
