The Happiest CEO Podcast

In this deeply fascinating and illuminating conversation, host Sebastian sits down with Toni Miller, one of the world's leading iridologists with over 40 years of clinical experience. Toni is the only practitioner to have won both Iridologist of the Year and Instructor of the Year, trained under legendary iridology pioneer Bernard Jensen, and founded the only iridology college in the Southern Hemisphere. She is the author of multiple bestselling books on iridology and has revolutionized the field by developing Integrated Iridology, a compassionate, science-aligned approach that bridges ancient wisdom with modern physiology. This episode explores the often misunderstood art and science of iridology, revealing how the iris acts as a window into your constitutional strengths, familial health patterns, and personalized pathways to wellness. Toni demystifies how the eyes reflect not just physical health, but also emotional tendencies, personality traits, communication styles, and even relationship dynamics. She explains how iris patterns can guide dietary choices, reveal areas of potential vulnerability, and empower individuals to make informed lifestyle decisions that align with their unique blueprint. The conversation moves through the history of iridology, the evolution from classical to integrated approaches, and why Toni challenged decades of accepted teaching to create a model rooted in truth and kindness. She shares how constitutional analysis works, what different eye colors and structures reveal, and how pigmentation, fiber patterns, and pupil size all contribute to understanding who you are and how you can thrive. Toni also conducts a live constitutional reading for Sebastian, demonstrating the depth and specificity of iridology in real time. Whether you're a CEO, parent, health practitioner, or seeker, this episode offers a grounded, empowering, and profoundly insightful perspective on personalized health, self-awareness, and living in alignment with your inherent design.

In this profound and expansive conversation, host Sebastian sits down with Krista, a breathwork pioneer and shamanic practitioner who has been guiding deep transformational work since 2000, long before breathwork became mainstream. Krista's shamanic path began in early childhood, and her journey from depression and trauma to becoming a healer offers a powerful testament to the body's capacity for transformation when given the right tools and safe space. This episode explores the often misunderstood worlds of breathwork, shamanism, cellular memory, and somatic healing. Krista opens up about her early experiences sensing the "other world" after her father's death before she was born, her struggles with depression as a young mother, and how breathwork became the key to her healing without ever needing antidepressants. She shares how her intuitive gifts unfolded, how she learned to see the deeper patterns behind people's struggles, and why she believes breathwork is one of the most accessible and powerful tools for reclaiming choice, agency, and aliveness. The conversation moves through the science and spirit of breath, the difference between regulation and deep process work, how trauma lives in the body, and why safety and nervous system training are essential foundations for transformation. Krista demystifies shamanic breathwork, cold water rebirthing, firewalking, and sweat lodge ceremonies, explaining how these ancient practices help us move from victimhood to creatorship, from fear to surrender, and from resistance to flow. She also addresses the modern breathwork movement, its benefits, and the importance of proper training and ethical practice. Whether you're a CEO, parent, entrepreneur, or seeker, this episode offers grounded wisdom, practical tools, and a deeply compassionate perspective on what it means to breathe fully, live courageously, and transform crisis into growth.

In this episode of The Happiest CEO Show, we sit down with Nathan Folkes, founder of MojoSurf, one of Australia’s most iconic surf and adventure companies. What started in 1998 as a passionate, roaming surf lifestyle became an international business helping thousands of people catch their first wave across Australia, Bali/Indonesia, Portugal and beyond. Nathan shares the real story behind building MojoSurf — from leaving school at 14, carpentry trade life, and launching a “totally rogue” pop-up surf trip from Sydney to Byron, to scaling a complex multi-location operation built on fun, freedom, and community. We also dive into the less glamorous realities of growth: cashflow pressure, hiring the right people, and learning to outsource your weaknesses before they swallow your passion. Then comes the wild pivot: when COVID hit and tourism stopped overnight, Nathan and the team had to adapt or disappear — transforming their resources (beds, buses, and a whole lot of grit) into a large-scale accommodation and transport solution supporting Pacific Island workers in Australia’s farms. That unexpected chapter sparked something bigger: a long-term commitment to Pacific communities, sustainability, and responsible tourism — including projects in Indonesia and exploratory work in places like the Solomon Islands. This is a conversation about adaptation, resilience, purpose-led growth, and what it really takes to build a business that still feels like you. What You’ll Hear In This Episode Surfing as a metaphor for business: timing, persistence, and “paddling out the back” How MojoSurf began: a phone, a cartoon brochure, and a bus headed north The truth about scaling: staff culture, systems, and outsourcing your weak spots Sustainability + responsibility: “people, planet, purpose, profit” The COVID pivot: from surf camps to supporting farm workforces and Pacific communities Lessons from “failing forward” — and why showing up matters more than perfection Nathan’s best advice: “Keep breathing. Find a way.” Nathan Folkes — Founder, MojoSurf Learn more: www.mojosurf.com
