What do you get when a legless lad & a blind bloke walk in to a bar? A couple of mates on a mission to challenge what it means to be "tough". Talkin Tough is a podcast brought to you by Ski For Life, an Australian charity committed to promoting mental health, wellbeing & suicide prevention. Hosted by double amputee Mike Rolls & blind Ben Pettingill, these two professional speakers and best mates know a thing or two about what being "tough" really means and it’s probably not what first comes to your mind. These conversations aim to redefine how we view the word tough through story, connection & a good ol’ dose of banter so that anyone doing it tough feels more comfortable reaching out for help.

  6. "Did I Just Get Hit By A Truck?!" with Dan Ward

    6月17日

    "Did I Just Get Hit By A Truck?!" with Dan Ward

    The innocuous decision to leave work one morning to go and give his wife a hand to change a flat tyre ended up changing everything! One moment Wardy was going through the motions of changing the tyre and in a split second, jumping through the air before being hit by an out of control truck hurtling down the freeway.  Dan Ward, AKA Wardy, catches up with the fellas while they were in South Australia recently to recount the day he was collected by a truck and the huge impact that day had on every aspect of life moving forward. Dan’s whole identity was challenged with no more working on the tools and no more playing footy which was at that time his whole life. Strap yourself in for a story that would best fit in the scene of an action film with plenty of laughs and lessons along the way.
