In The Head Of A Country Bloke Mandy Curnow

In this episode I chat to Bill Gill, a genuine 'what you see is what you get', down to earth bloke.

A loving Husband, father of three beautiful girls, and now Grandfather - Bill has strong family values, loves his mates and is known for his passion for sport.

He's a mix of humble and 'self confessed' opinionated in the things that matter to him.

He knows what it's like to experience heartbreaking loss, as well as the contrast of the highs of various successes life has to offer...when you take a risk and have a go.

'Life is short so live it. Love is rare so grab it. Fear controls you so face it. Memories are precious so cherish them.

'We only get one life so live it'.

The Naked Farmer is an ambitious social media movement aiming to break down the stigma and barriers surrounding mental health. What started as a cheeky Instagram post by a young western Victorian farmer three years ago has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon. Mandy catches up with the founder Ben Brooksby to chat about his motivation and inspiration for creating the movement, and where he plans to take it in the future.

Some people are lucky enough to escape one brush with death. Then there are others like Richie Oliver (otherwise known as "Punter") who somehow manage to survive two. In this fascinating podcast, Richie recalls vividly just what it was like to be involved in two near-fatal accidents - in the space of 12 months. He talks about what he's learned from the confronting experiences, and the strength, determination and "inner knowing" he has managed to find. He's not afraid to admit he's human and says his physical and mental recovery is still a work in progress.
