Life always offers you a second chance. It’s called tomorrow.
Celebrating Leigh’s birthday this week and also celebrating a new board member for our charity, we are thrilled to welcome Jenny to our team, we are very grateful for her support to have her on board. Maxi has had a quitter time at the beach thankfully and the important lesson this week is Boat Safety which accounts for more drowning than you would think so please listen and stay safe on the water.

One generation plants the trees, another gets the shade.
What legacy are you leaving? Do you ever wonder when you look at a beautiful tree who may have taken the time to plant it and why, some serious food for thought right there.

Everyone smiles in the same language.
The world needs a few more smiles, that is what we have decided this week, you can’t be angry and smile, it’s impossible, and smiling at a stranger might just make their day. Maxi is straight back to work with 5 car accidents on one shift and we talk about all the good news happening around Live Learn Survive now which gives us so much to be excited about and be grateful for.

Interview with Rob Mason Firefighter and Ultra Marathon runner.
Rob Mason has been a Firefighter for 24 years at Nowra station and is an Ultra Marathon runner, he ran first 100 km ultramarathon in 2009 and although he couldn’t walk for a week afterwards and swore he’d never run a step again, he found himself hooked on ultra-running. The following year, with the help and advice from mentors and friends in the ultra-running community, he completed the ‘Triple Crown’ of Australian ultra-running; The Glasshouse Mountains 100 mile (161km) ultra, The Great North Walk 100 mile ultra and the 240km Coast to Kosciuszko ultra within a 4 month period. Fast forward to 2022 Rob went all-in on working on his mindset, including starting the ‘Mindset for Runners’ podcast and working with a professional mindset coach. With a concerted plan and mental training, Rob went from thinking he was an average runner to knowing he was going to win the race – and he did, enjoy this inspiration chat with Rob.
