In episode 1, Barnaby is joined by assistant coach Ben Mathews to discuss the evolution of the Bloods culture.

Barnaby Howarth will tell you that his success is all luck but for the resilience speaker and podcaster, it was as if he was born for this.

Howarth has lived an extraordinary life – surviving a gang attack and stroke, losing his first wife to cancer, and living as a diabetic – but he's more interested in the people who are quietly and perhaps are ordinarily making the world a better place. 

In season seven of his podcast Everyday Greatness, filmed in the Sydney Swans HQ studio, Howarth speaks to Sydney Swans staff and others connected with the club, about community, connectedness, and culture.

Episode 1 features Sydney Swans assistant coach and 2005 Premiership Player Ben Mathews, who speaks about the ‘no d*@kheads’ policy and the impact the women’s team has had on the club.

“I think what defines us is living every day as a Sydney Swans person and being a good person – that’s where the Bloods’ culture starts and stops,” Mathews said.
