History

Nat grew up in Sydney, Australia. He describes his childhood as being "difficult" with periods of suffering from anxiety and depression. He attended the Hillsong Church where his father was a minister. He left the church while still a teenager and spent time backpacking throughout India.

He attended a Waldorf school before studying singing and guitar at a private college in Sydney.

The YouTube channel began in 2006 and featured regular videos titled "Is it shit?", where Nat would review a variety of topics and decide if the topic was worthwhile.

In 2016, Nat met his partner Julia Gee, known as Jules, via a dating app. She works as a graphic designer designing artwork for the YouTube channel and also films their videos.

In 2019, Nat was an ambassador for the UNSW Big Anxiety Festival.

In 2020, the channel began featuring healthy cooking segments when a stand-up comedy tour featuring Nat was cancelled due to COVID-19 lockdowns across Australia. Nat noticed supermarkets were low on stock for jar sauces while fresh produce remained on the shelves during panic buying due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nat turned to healthy cooking and eating after having a lung removed due to complications from tuberculosis.

In September 2020, Growcom, a Queensland government–funded horticulture body, announced a partnership with Nat's What I Reckon as part of their Eat Yourself To Health campaign.

On December 6, 2020, Nat was the guest programmer on the Australian music video television show Rage.

In July 2021, Nat appeared on the ABC long-form interview television show One Plus One with Courtney Act.

In 2021, Nat released two organic wines with Nat's What I Reckon branding—named Reckon Roger & Ian's Boating Wine and Nat's What I Reckon Cheeky Redders Greenache—in a collaboration with Built To Spill and Dreaded Friend winery.

Nat is a musician with two Sydney-based bands, including as a singer and guitarist for Keggerdeth and drummer for the band Penalties.
