Nick Bracks

Nick Bracks is an Australian actor, media personality, broadcaster, entrepreneur, philanthropist, published author, and public speaker who has delivered several TED talks and 1,000+ public speaking engagements over the last 15 years. He currently hosts his own segment ‘Soul Trader’ on Australian DAB+ radio station, Disrupt Radio.

Growing up in one of the most famous political families in Australia, Nick was exposed to life in the public eye since he was 12 years old. Struggling to cope with depression and anxiety through substance abuse, Nick first gained his own notoriety in his early 20s through a publicly documented car crash that nearly killed himself and his best friend.
The drunk driving incident became a catalyst for Nick to turn his life around, exposing his mental health issues and allowing him to get the help he desperately needed. The media attention he gained after the crash led to a modelling career and an invitation to participate as a contestant on “Dancing With The Stars”. While on Dancing With The Stars, Nick took the opportunity to speak publicly about his battle with depression and anxiety, becoming a pioneer in mental health advocacy.

Since then, Nick has developed a successful public speaking career on the topic, conducting over 1,000 talks at organisations around the world, including several TED talks. He completed a full-time acting course at Film and Television Studio International, played ‘Brandon Danker’ on Australian soap opera Neighbours and appeared in a number of Australia television shows. Nick is currently working on the production of his own comedic TV series, 'Amiss', loosely modelled off his life experiences as a millennial Australian ex-pat living in New York City.

Nick is the founder of digital mental health software company MYND (Move Your Mind Pty Ltd), released his first book with publisher Wiley in 2021 and currently host’s a podcast under the same name – ‘Move Your Mind with Nick Bracks’. He has also co-founded several start ups, including his own underwear label, ‘underBRACKS’, & publicly traded health company, Biome Ltd.

Today, Nick is focusing on growing his acting career, hosting DAB+ radio show “Soul Trader” on Disrupt Radio, his public speaking, and working towards the production of ‘Amiss’. He lives between New York and Melbourne.
