Nick Bracks [Nicholas Salem Bracks] (born 5 March 1987) is an Australian media personality, radio host, entrepreneur, philanthropist, former male model, actor, 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.''

Bracks is also a former fashion designer who released his own underwear label known as underBRACKS.

The eldest son of Steve Bracks, former Premier of Victoria, Australia, first gained notoriety after a public battle with mental health and substance abuse issues. At the age of 20, he was involved in a single vehicle accident near his family home in Williamstown where he and his childhood best friend were nearly killed. Bracks was charged with drink driving and traffic offences. He speaks publicly about his battle with depression in his youth and has spent the last 15 years using his profile to help destigmatize mental health issues, encouraging others to take control over their own mental wellbeing through embracing personal accountability and learning to trust your gut. Bracks now resides between Melbourne and New York City.

Bracks 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. Provided by Wikipedia
