Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

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.

Now with over half a million subscribers, Noah’s channel has become one of the biggest surf communities on YouTube, inspiring people around the world to chase their passions and reconnect with what makes them feel alive.

This chat is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t always look like the path we first imagined — and that the ocean can heal in more ways than one.

In this episode we cover:

• Noah’s upbringing and early love for surfing
• 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

Listen now to hear how Noah turned struggle into purpose and built a life around what he loves most — surfing, storytelling, and connecting with good humans.
