Who Is Your Hero is an unapologetically real Australian podcast created and hosted by Matthew “Buzz” Fidler, built on one simple belief:
👉 Everyone has a story that can change someone’s life.
Born from a personal journey through kidney failure, footy fields, PNG jungles, construction sites, and some of life’s toughest setbacks, Who Is Your Hero has become a national movement of resilience, mateship, truth-telling, and everyday heroes.
Each episode dives deep into the lives of ordinary Australians doing extraordinary things — survivors, soldiers, footy legends, community leaders, domestic-violence warriors, tradies, battlers, advocates, and the quiet achievers who keep this country rolling.
Buzz brings the raw honesty, humour, and heart Australians crave:
-
Real talk without the polish
-
Big laughs mixed with big truths
-
Life lessons from people who’ve actually lived
-
A platform for voices that deserve to be heard
With conversations that hit like a beer-shed yarn, a hospital-bed reflection, and a campfire confession all in one, Who Is Your Hero isn’t just a podcast — it’s a movement.
A movement that says:
➡️ Your story matters.
➡️ Your struggles can lift someone else.
➡️ Your heroes might be right beside you — not on a screen.
From Townsville to Tassie, from veterans to young dads, from survivors to those still fighting — this is the podcast Australia needed.
Real people.
Real stories.
Real heroes.
Who Is Your Hero?
Only one way to find out.

🎙️ EPISODE 1 — Comfort Kills: How Australia Got Too Bloody Soft
This one kicks off with a laugh — and a slap of truth. From footy sheds to Friday-arvo beers, we’ve built a culture around being comfortable. But what happens when comfort turns into control?
Buzz cracks open the first part of the Start Getting Uncomfortable trilogy — diving into how the “Aussie dream” quietly became a system designed to keep us numb, safe, and obedient. It’s funny, raw, and uncomfortable in all the right ways.
Expect a few laughs, a few home truths, and a reminder that growth doesn’t live on the couch — it starts when we get off our arse and ask the big questions.
🔥 Real talk. Real laughs. Real tribe.🎧 Tribe vs System — Start Getting Uncomfortable (Part 1)

Ep 29 (Part 2): The Everyday Aussie Who Stood Up — Jody LoweJody goes beyond slogans and into the guts of real change—how childhood chaos forged a protector, why he plans seven weeks ahead, and how blokes can manage the “ton of straw” without blowing a fuse. We talk ego on long-service leave, trolls vs restraint, being a present dad, and building an Australia grounded in balance, accountability and clean energy. Raw, practical, and very human.

welcome back to Part 2 of Who Is Your Hero with Jason Siebert.Part 1 took us from floodwaters to first principles — why shelter before anything flips a human from surviving to thriving, and how Jason’s Heartland Homes Project and Rehome Roots turn one sale into someone else’s second chance.
Today we’re going deeper.We’re talking real poverty — is it material or spiritual?We’re talking scars that drive service — the moments that make a man say “no one gets left behind.”And we’re stepping into solutions: expandable, off-grid homes, community land, growing food, regenerating country — a blueprint for living together, not just getting by.
If you’ve ever felt the system’s red tape choking common sense, this part is for you.Lean in, share it on, and let’s build stronger homes and stronger hearts.

Today’s story carries the title: ‘The Everyday Aussie Who Stood Up – Jody Lowe’.
Every so often, you come across someone who doesn’t just talk about courage and bravery — they live it, breathe it, and stand in it every single day. Our guest today is one of those blokes.
Now, let me be clear from the start: we’re not here to push politics, tick boxes, or run agendas. But sometimes, when you talk about truth, it naturally brushes against those walls. And that’s okay.
What we’re here for today is courage. It’s family. It’s resilience. It’s a bloke who’s faced his own battles with mental health and still steps forward, day after day, for his kids, his community, and his country.

What to expect in this episode 👇
Jason Siebert x Who Is Your Hero — Part 1
This one goes past bricks and bolts. We dive into why “home” is more than walls and how one man turned the Northern Rivers floodwaters into a living model of hope.
You’ll hear & learn:
The image Jason can’t forget from Lismore — and what it taught him about human fragility and real resilience.
Why shelter before anything (health triage → shelter → water → fire → food) matters — and how a roof flips people from surviving to thriving.
Jason’s own scars — vanlife, temporary housing, mental health dips — and how purpose + discipline (run, meditate, train) keep him moving.
The Heartland model explained in plain language: one home sold helps rehome another (no interest, no fees, pay-it-forward into the next family’s home).
Versatile, off-grid, expandable homes — and why independence = health + dignity.
The bigger picture: housing crisis, rough sleepers, single mums, veterans, men needing community — and how Heartland plans to meet them where they are.
Buzz’s 4 Pillars (Health • Worth • Why • Wealth) in action — and why purpose stops the spiral.
Big Question teaser:We finish Part 1 warming up for the one we ask every guest… “Who is your Hero?” (Jason answers it in the series.)

Doug Steley – Fighting Battles Beyond the Uniform🔥 Smashing Opening (Approx. 5 mins)Buzz:“G’day legends, Buzz here — and welcome back to Who Is Your Hero.Tonight we’re not talking about business, footy, or backyard heroes. We’re talking about a bloke who wore the RAAF uniform, gave his best years in service, and then came home to fight battles that no one trains you for.His name is Doug Steley.A veteran. A fighter. A man who has carried both medals and scars.But when the uniform came off, Doug found himself in the fight of his life — not with an enemy overseas, but with the system right here at home.We talk about mateship in this country. We talk about ‘looking after our diggers.’ Yet time and time again, the stories I hear from veterans are stories of silence, rejection, paperwork over people, and lives lost to a system that’s meant to protect them.Doug’s journey is raw. It’s heavy. But it’s also important. Because if we’re going to be a country worth fighting for, we’ve got to face how we treat those who fought for us.So buckle in, tribe — this is one you need to hear.”

“G’day tribe, tonight’s a big one. After four months of hospital runs, every second day back into North Ward, the tubes are finally out, and for the first time in months I had a proper shower.
Not a wipe down, not a splash with a washer — I mean a full, hot, stand-there-till-the-water-runs-cold kind of shower. Might sound small, but to me, it felt massive.

“When kidney failure hit, I found out real quick who my mates were. Most vanished, but a handful stuck. At first it felt brutal, then I realised — it was a gift.
It’s like Facebook culling your friends list for you — only life does it much more efficiently.”
