#230 Matty Acton — Radio Host, Social Media Star, Grandpa in his 30's!

Matty Acton is one of Australia’s most recognisable radio voices, a social media star with nearly one million followers, and one of the youngest grandpas you will ever meet. In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Matty to unpack his journey from growing up in regional Australia to becoming the co-host of Brisbane’s highest-rating breakfast radio show, Stav, Abby & Matt on HIT 105. We talk about the reality of working in mainstream media, building a personal brand online, and how humour and authenticity have played a huge role in his success. Matty also opens up about family, fatherhood, and what it has been like stepping into the role of being a grandparent in his 30s. It is a conversation full of laughs, perspective, and some surprisingly grounding lessons about staying present and not taking life too seriously. This episode is a great reminder that success does not have to come at the cost of connection, and that sometimes the most important roles we play happen off air.
