2026/03/19

In this week’s episode I speak with legally qualified Dennis Benjamin, a highly experienced businessman and art investor, and someone I’ve known since the 1980s. Our conversation explores the hidden costs and emotional toll of litigation, and why most people are far better off avoiding it wherever possible. Dennis shares how his business, Conflict Manager, helps individuals and families resolve disputes before they escalate, focusing on outcomes that allow people to move forward with pe...

Ep #247: Having a Great Sex Life & Other Health Matters

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2026/03/06

In this episode I’m joined by Dr Michael Gaeta and we range widely across what health really is, why most modern medicine misses the point, and how you can start taking genuine ownership of your wellbeing. I share my definition of health as wholeness and the unique optimal balance of your mental, physical and spiritual elements. Michael adds a Chinese medicine lens: illness can be a habitual response to life, while health is a spontaneous, present-moment expression of life and creativity. We ...

2026/02/23

In this week’s episode I tackle the growing work from home movement and explain why I believe it is full of traps and long-term disasters, particularly for small to medium enterprises that want to achieve greatness. While many employees enjoy the comfort and convenience of working remotely, I argue that extraordinary results come from extraordinary teams – and great teams are built on trust, commitment and frequent, meaningful interaction. Without being physically together, the depth of relat...

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2026/02/09

Passion Strategies to Reduce Your Worries and Unleash Your Unique Genius. In this week's episode, I explore seven big issues that are causing a great deal of worry for many people—and I share powerful strategies to help you live a passionate, worry-free life. Worrying is not only disempowering, it robs you of your creativity, your energy, and your ability to contribute meaningfully to your world. I discuss how you can shift your thinking, access your genius, and remain present—eve...

Ep #244: Happy Australia Day on 26 January

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2026/01/26

In this week's episode, I reflect on Australia Day and my deep gratitude for being born in this magnificent country. Drawing from former Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s excellent book Australia: A History, I explore how Australia evolved into a great democracy. This book cuts through the modern-day distortions about our history, especially regarding the treatment of Aboriginal people. Contrary to the claims of many, the truth is far more complex and, in many cases, inspiring. I share powerful ex...

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2026/01/12

Happy New Year! This first episode of 2026 invites you to reflect deeply on what will truly make it a "happy" year. I explore the powerful connection between happiness and success. Success, as Earl Nightingale wisely put it, is "the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal." It’s not about arriving at the goal, but progressing towards it. So what is a worthy ideal? I share eleven of mine that fuel my passion and guide my actions, from regenerative agriculture and the defence of Australia's C...

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/12/13

In this week’s episode, I explore the idea that if you notice a problem, you may be the one meant to solve it. Each of us sees the world through our unique lens - nobody else has our exact experiences, thinking style, or passions. That’s why we mustn't just complain about problems but take passion inspired action to address them. I share how this principle has guided my life - from pursuing justice through law, to promoting health and passion, to championing hemp farming, comedy, and freedom ...

Ep #241: Health & Other Matters

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/11/23

In this episode, I shine a bright light on the extraordinary lies being told to us by governments, especially around health. The USA's CDC has quietly admitted on its offical website there is no evidence that vaccines don't cause autism; that the debunking of vaccines as a cause of autism was not based on evidence; this is a stunning reversal after 30 years of denial. I explore how two powerful books, Forbidden Facts by Gavin de Becker and Vaccines Amen by Aaron Siri, might have driven ...

2025/11/10

In this episode, I’m joined by Joe Pane, an expert in emotional fitness and behavioural profiling. Joe’s journey from the corporate world to transformational coaching is deeply inspiring. He shares how his work helps people shift their relationship with uncertainty, turning what many fear into a powerful catalyst for growth. Joe explains his metaphor of the swimming pool, illustrating the spectrum of uncertainty from variety to full-blown crisis, and how emotional fitness equips u...

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/10/26

In this week’s episode, I expose the grave threat posed by the Australian Government’s push for a digital ID - and why it must be resisted. While sold to us as a tool for security, convenience, and fraud prevention, digital ID is nothing less than a mechanism for mass control. I detail 22 clear, understandable and disturbing ways it can be used to restrict your freedoms - from tracking every purchase you make, limiting what you can eat or where you can travel, to denying access to...

Ep 238: The Challenge of FOCUS

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/10/18

This week, I reflect on how your focus determines your power, and therefore your results. It was my birthday week, and I truly felt the love. Thank you to all who sent me well wishes. But beyond the celebrations, we must stay focused amidst the items and issues of local and global chaos. I explore the concerning report that the Vatican has installed a Muslim prayer room at St Peter’s. If true, this is a further sign of the deep corruption I’ve long warned about. I speak about Donald Tru...

2025/09/19

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Greg Sheridan AO, one of Australia’s most respected journalists and thinkers, about his two powerful books: How Christians Can Succeed Today and God is Good for You. Our conversation included the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a passionate Christian who had a profound impact on the lives of many young people. This murder has ignited new urgency around the question: can Christians still succeed and thrive in a culture that often ridi...

Ep #236: Hidden Agendas of Our Politicians

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/09/07

In this episode, I explore the hidden agendas behind much of what we're being told by politicians, media, and global organisations. On this Father’s Day - and also my granddaughter Mila's 10th birthday - I reflect on the influences of my own father and the freedom he and my mum sought by coming to Australia. That same passion for freedom fuels everything I do, from fighting for health and truth, to promoting industrial hemp, comedy, and sound legal and Constitutional principles. I delve into ...

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/08/17

In this week's episode, I delve into the crucial issue of productivity, both at the national and personal levels. Australia, like many Western nations, is experiencing a steep decline in productivity and living standards. Politicians and bureaucrats blame everything but themselves, but I argue that the truth lies in the personal and individual detail of how we live and work. I give you practical, visible examples of what a declining national productivity means: crumbling infrastru...

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/08/03

In this week’s episode, I speak passionately about the urgent need to defend the Christian foundations of national constitutions, including that of Australia. In light of recent, well-funded and ongoing protests across Melbourne and Sydney - ostensibly in support of Palestine - I highlight the concerning silence from our politicians and the lack of action by our police, and the increasing influence of political Islam in Australia. This is not about religion or individual Muslims, many o...

2025/07/27

In this week’s episode, I reflect on the inspiring 35-year success story of Bevmarks, the sleep professionals. While Melbourne was packed with passionate rugby fans watching the British and Irish Lions edge out the Wallabies, I had the privilege of speaking at Bevmarks' annual awards night. My keynote centred on passion as the critical driver of sales and business success. I shared the importance of taking personal responsibility, nurturing a lifelong desire to learn, and the essential role o...

2025/07/06

In this episode, I explore the powerful connection between America’s 4th of July and your self-awareness. The 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence risked their lives and wealth for freedom. It prompts me to ask: is there anything you value more than your life? I share insights into how defining your core values, like integrity, health, and freedom, guides your decisions and shapes the life you truly want. I challenge you to reflect on stark choices: freedom or security, health or...

In this week’s episode, I share insights from my whirlwind trip to Berlin for the European Industrial Hemp Association Conference, where I spoke about international expansion in my role as an Executive Board Member of the Federation of International Hemp Organizations. The energy in the room was electric—passionate “hempsters” from around the globe united by a shared cause to promote this extraordinary plant. We explored hemp's myriad applications—from textiles and construction to...

Ep #230: Your Life Is In Your Blood, Says The Bible!

The Charles Kovess Show ·

2025/06/01

In this week's episode, I explore the vital truth that your life is in your blood. Inspired by Shane Leong’s powerful presentation at the World of Wellness, I explain why you must take ownership of your health by getting and understanding your blood test results. Your blood carries your life force, and the so-called “normal range” used by most doctors is a woefully inadequate analysis. You are unique, so why should you accept one-size-fits-all interpretations? With 68 availa...

2025/05/19

In this week's episode, I challenge the dangerous obsession with perfection, especially in our expectations of politicians, partners, professionals, personnel, and priests. Prompted by ongoing reactions to Donald Trump, I explore how Trump Derangement Syndrome has blinded many to his achievements simply because he doesn't fit a moral ideal. This same pursuit of perfection undermines our relationships, our workplaces, and even our spiritual communities. I argue that this desire for utopia is n...
