Welcome to Episode 28 with Mac Lyon of Stories Told and The Foot Collective (TFC) Australia. This is an awesome chat.

Mac is a truly passionate guy who finds happiness in sharing people’s stories through film… and believes in the power of outdoor, bare-foot play! #PlayIsTheWay

In previous years you may have seen Mac on Channel 7 as a news reporter, but these days he’s enthusiastic about Stories Told and The Foot Collective Australia; a “health education company”.

The Foot Collective Australia was started by Mac’s physiotherapist friend James (“Jim”) Dooner, and aims to build strong, resilient and pain-free feet from the ground up. Jim believes that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, and he provides people with the knowledge, skills and tools needed to look after their bodies.

The Foot Collective Australia sell items such as balance beams, toe spacers, mobility balls, hacky sacks, ground living tables, shoes, socks, clothes and more… and you will also find a number of educational videos on their YouTube channel too! They have partnered with Reforest Now, donating $5 from every order over $50 to help restore Australian forests by planting one tree.

The Foot Collective Australia is so passionate about the outdoors that they also have a few projects on the go - Rewilding In Suburbia and TFC Bush 1, to name two. Information from their website is as below:

Rewilding In Suburbia

Have the recent world events uncovered within you a deep yearning to connect more with the natural world? ⁣Are you tired of being surrounded by electronics, artificial lights or find it challenging to escape to the natural world? ⁣ ⁣We hear you! We feel it too, deeply.⁣ ⁣That's why TFC Foot Nerd Georgina Davies and her family have collaborated to bring this resource to you. After returning to Melbourne in 2018, after 4 years of country living, they made it a priority to create their suburban life still strongly connected to nature. They share these ideas with you... In a colourful 54 page pdf booklet, her family passionately share over 50 ways to “rewild” while living in suburbia. Including inspiring ideas, practical steps, embedded YouTube video links & suggested resources.⁣ ⁣ Reconnect to the healing powers of nature.⁣

TFC Bush 1

TFC Bush 1 is a property South-West of Brisbane where we can embrace the Barefoot Life and reconnect with nature in a deeper, more immersive way. We plan to eventually share this special place with our TFC Tribe. We’ll be spending more and more time out here over the coming weeks and months and will be documenting the whole process along the way so stay tuned and check out @tfc.bush1 to follow along!

So make sure you give this episode a listen and check out their website. Mac’s enthusiasm shines through and will leave you inspired to live your best life… which, he believes, starts in nature.
