In this episode I sit down with Noah Wallis, better known online as Surfing with Noz — a former financial trader who turned his life around through surfing, creativity, and YouTube.

We dive deep into Noah’s story — from growing up on the coast and struggling with anxiety, to chasing a high-pressure career in trading that eventually left him unfulfilled. He opens up about the moment he realised he needed change, and how filming surf edits with his mates became not just a creative outlet but a lifeline.

Battling anxiety and navigating life as a trader
The turning point that led him to pursue YouTube full-time
How surfing and creativity helped him rebuild his mental health
Lessons on purpose, passion, and building an authentic community online
