From earning $88 a week as a 16-year-old apprentice to keeping modern building sites safe as an OH&S officer, Chris “Butch” Bell has seen it all. In this episode, we dive into how he got his nickname, hear a few plumbing pranks from the old days, compare the tools of yesterday with today’s tech, and get some priceless advice from a bloke who’s been on the tools and beyond.

A Surf Lifesaver back in the day, Butch turned into a saver of life rescuing a friend in a near death accident (refer Episode 4 - Confessions of a BBQ Cleaner.)

Expect laughs, old-school stories, a bit of plumbing wisdom, and even a few on-the-job pranks that didn’t quite go to plan.

From chasing Olympic dreams on the track to donning the navy blue of Carlton, Ian Prendergast’s story is one of grit, growth, and giving back to the game.

Once a rising AFL utility known for his preseason heroics and relentless work ethic, Ian transitioned from player to professional advocate — representing the voice of the athletes across the AFL and NRL through the Players’ Associations. Guided early by legendary manager Ron Joseph, he learned the complexities of sport beyond the boundary line — from contracts and career transitions to player development and welfare.

Now leading at Sports Advisory Partners Australia, Ian continues to shape the next generation of athletes and sporting organizations with the same passion he once took to the field.

With a sporty family of netball-playing sisters and a lifetime in and around elite competition, Ian brings a rare perspective — blending athletic insight, legal expertise, and genuine care for people in sport.

This episode dives deep into the making of a modern sports leader — from the running track to the boardroom.

From growing up working in a small-suburban family newsagency to the locker rooms of world champions — this is the story of Peter Parker, a man whose hands helped shape Australia’s golden era of rugby. Nicknamed “Spiderman” in his youth, a life-changing accident at 14 opened his eyes to the power of osteopathy — a hands-on, holistic approach to healing and performance.

In this episode, he shares how early lessons in community connection guided his path from local practice to working with the Wallabies through their World Cup and Bledisloe victories. It’s a journey of curiosity, resilience, and the belief that healing isn’t just physical — it’s deeply human.

From wrangling Murray Cod on camera to teaching the next generation in the classroom, Adam Clark’s journey is anything but ordinary. A fisherman who turned his passion into a DVD “by fisherman, for fisherman,” Andy also spent time as an exterminator, proving he’s not afraid of hard work or tough challenges. These days, he’s shaping young minds as a senior school teacher in a country town. Join Andy as he reflects on life lessons from the riverbank, the classroom, and the playing field in this inspiring and down-to-earth conversation.
