This week on Intersect, we sit down with Cooper Ward — a creator with over 36k followers who’s built a life teaching others how to make money online after walking away from the tools.

Cooper opens up about nearly finishing his carpentry apprenticeship — just 3 weeks away from signing off. From being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, losing 18kg in 3 weeks, and vomiting daily, to watching his younger brother become a dad at 15, Cooper’s story is one of resilience, humour, and finding new purpose.

We dive into how he turned all that pain into fuel — creating tradie skits, building an online business, and travelling the world while proving there’s more than one way to make a living.

If you’re chasing something bigger, feeling stuck in your trade, or just love a wild comeback story — this one’s for you.
