    Ep. 14 - Can You Chop My Leg Off? with Mike Rolls

    In this week’s episode of Flying Blind, Benny packs the recording gear on his latest trip to Mildura in Victoria’s North West for a speaking tour with his great mate Mike ‘Legless’ Rolls. Together Mike and Ben form the duo ‘Legless & Blind’ on stage and have travelled the country together delivering a whole range of sessions over the past 10 years.   While they were in Mildura, Benny sat Mike down for his debut on Flying Blind, catching up on their adventures, going through some of Mike’s story of contracting Meningococcal Septicaemia at 18, electing to amputate his only remaining leg 9 years later, the question that changed it all and what’s involved with getting a new pair of legs. Enjoy this one and we’re sure it won’t be the last time that a Legless & Blind catch up features on Flying Blind.      Feeling thirsty?

    Ep. 13 - Living While You're Dying with Lisa Briggs

    Imagine living life to the fullest, getting married, growing your own business, starting a family and the next thing you know, you’re getting diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.   This was the sudden reality that Lisa Briggs faced 12 years ago. At the time she had a toddler, a 4 month old, her own business and a whole life ahead of her, yet no one could even guarantee her tomorrow.   In this weeks episode of Flying Blind, Lisa runs us through her story so openly covering conversations about mortality, having to live in the present when your future is so unknown, making the little things big, the power of mindset and the importance of always having something to look forward to! Lisa recognises that all of us are really just ‘Living while we’re dying’ and she chooses to focus on doing as much living as she can while she can!     We will be at Alpha Fest at Sandstone Point on the 30th of May in QLD. It will be an epic event and if you haven’t already, make sure you grab your tickets today and we can’t wait to catch up with you there! –   https://www.moshtix.com.au/v2/event/alpha-fest-%E2%80%93-the-mateship-muster/192080    Feeling thirsty?

    Ep. 12 - We Will Find Another Way

    Todays episode is a big shout out to the Mum's in honour of Mothers Day but also to one special Father, Ben's Dad Tim. Happy 60th birthday to the man who fostered Ben's "give anything a go" attitude by simply saying to him, in the early days of losing his sight, "All those things you love to do, we'll find another way to do it". And so they did. Ben gives us an insight in to how, with the un-waivering help from his family, especially his Dad, was able to keep his hobbies of waterskiing, shooting and fishing simply by doing things differently. We also chat about Amy's low key Mothers Day, Bens calendar & the very exciting release of the line up for Alpha Events Co's Podcast Royale 3.0 that Ben will once again feature in.

    Ep. 11 - A Smile A Day With Ash Kasi

    There aren’t too many guest episodes that leave you pretty much speechless in the first few seconds of their story however this weeks episode is the exception!  Ash Kasi was left on the door step of an orphanage in Sri Lanka at 3 day’s old, was adopted 6 weeks later to an Australian migrant family and from there takes us through the rollercoaster from 3 days old right through to 43. Ash and Benny cover it all in this one from bullying, identity and family through to stand up comedy and his mission to make 1 person smile every day.        Check out Ash’s podcast, Older But Not Wiser –   https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Older-but-not-Wiser-Podcast-61572427020828/  Feeling thirsty?

    Bite The Bullet

    Benny has spent all of 3 nights at home since he and Ames last sat down in the shed to catch up. In this weeks episode of Flying Blind Ben recounts a powerful program of work across the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, getting back in the car to drive back over the SA border for Easter less than 12 hours after getting home, topped off by an absolute ripper of a trip to Tasmania! Ames gives us an insight into the juggle behind the scenes, the importance of the 6 P’s (Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance) and how she managed to deliver a fantastic workshop in and amongst the chaos.   They also introduce something new to these catch up episodes this week as they take a minute to look back at what worked, what didn’t and what they have learned… It’s ok to lower your bar rather than setting yourself up for failure and sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, even when it means scuba diving in the sharks backyard!     Feeling thirsty?

    Backstage with Liam 'Shooter' Williamson

    In this weeks episode of Flying Blind, Benny sits down with one of his good mates, Liam ‘Shooter’ Williamson, the morning after a ripper night at Lainey Wilson’s Melbourne concert. Shooter is a carpenter and co-host of The Dusty Boots Podcast, which is fitting considering the boys may have been a little dusty during this recording. This is the first time that Shooter has been on the receiving end of an interview as he is normally the one asking the questions to some of the worlds biggest country music artists. They cover everything from growing up in the country, working hard for what you want, building a family and trying to be tough through tragedy.          Follow Liam On Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/liamshootswilliamson/    Follow the Dusty Boots Podcast on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/thedustybootspodcast/    Feeling thirsty?
