"One thing I learned from dad and probably the biggest lesson was just open your ears. Just be that person to sit there and listen. Because not everyone wants advice...

It's like, no dude, like some people just want to be confident. They will just want you to sit there, shut your mouth, open your ears and just pay that level of comfort.

So for me, I saw the way dad did that, and it allowed people to feel when people go through like depression, anxiety, and mental illness, all they want is to be safe."

Episode #45 with Damien Bugeja

Damien Bugeja is a man on a mission. An inspiring individual with a big heart, in late February -March of this year, he ran well over 250km in 6 days from Craigieburn to Yarrawonga in memory of his late Father, Joseph Bugeja who passed away from a rare form of cancer called ‘Pseudomyxoma Peritonei’ in January 2017.

2017 was a tough year for Damien. Not only dealing with his fathers loss, he also tore his ACL (not for the first time) and broke up with his long term girlfriend.

Despite this, he is now in a place where each and every day he leans in to the fear by choosing not to fear, and practices gratitude and resilience daily.

It was a truly generous conversation and one I'm sure you'll enjoy!

Thanks again to Damien.
