We're baaack!

It's episode one of season two and we are stripping off our clothes and getting out in nature, spreading our arms and putting our cheeks to the wind as Shaun sits down to chat with Brendan Jones from Get Naked Australia.

Brendan is the founder of the body positive movement ‘Get Naked Australia’. What started as a bit of a laugh has turned into a massive social media presence where Brendan uses Naturism, or the act of being naked in nature to help improve people’s body confidence.

Get Naked Australia now runs a multitude of events including Hikes, Beach Days, Harbour Cruises and now yoga. Where people can celebrate the body they were given and participate clothes free.

This week on the Excuse me, Shaun is joined by his Fiance Benny Cole. Together they recount their own personal experiences with coming to terms with their own sexual identity. We hear to very unique stories that ultimately brought two people together. From Shaun, who was a fresh faced 18 year old, fuelled with the desire to leave his old life behind and be true to himself. To Benny, who didn't embrace his truth until later in life after raising a family and always putting others needs first. This episode is full of heart and hope, with a side of honesty, and a healthy dose of courage.
