October 25, 2022 Episode 26 - Royce Fairbrother
Royce Fairbrother is the Founder of Fairbrother Construction.
A man that started this business (with his wife Thea) in 1972, and therefore recently celebrated an incredible 50 years of business.
From a small farm in the states Northwest, we discussed buying his first shed in 1972, to now having over 300 staff and being one of the state's leading construction businesses.
Royce talks about Fairbrother's guiding principles, and how they are the driving force behind the organisations ongoing success. Something he leads by example with and knows that they are one of the biggest keys to safe and secure growth.
Royce opened up on one of his greatest life challenges, which was understanding that his mature aged son had schizophrenia. 25 years ago, navigating mental health issues had its own set of challenges, but it was that challenge that shifted Royce's thinking and the way he viewed mental health as a whole.
But through that challenge (with the help of his staff) Royce and Thea developed the Fairbrother's Guiding Principles and Mission Statement - all of which, and above all else, puts people and their wellbeing first.
We spoke about the importance of honesty and integrity, always keeping your feet on the ground, the importance of community contribution, what inspires him, and of course, the importance of family support.
I have always been inspired by Royce's zest for life, and his passion for people, so it was an honor to have Royce agree to sit down with me.
Enjoy!

September 12, 2022 Episode 25 - John X
John X is currently one of Tasmania’s most prominent and prolific actors and performers. A popular MC and guest speaker, he is a veteran of over 120 shows including Uni Revues, musicals and shows in the Botanical gardens every year.
An ABC Local Radio presenter, John has appeared on film, TV and radio in various forms.
John is charitable, funny, a family man, and just a ripping Tasmanian so I was thrilled to have him join Get Frank to talk about his life.
We spoke about charity work, performing, stories of failing, family and the importance of it.
We could have spoken for hours so this episode is action packed!
My greatest take away from this episode is that John always remains true to himself, but all whilst being respectful and considerate to those around him... as much as possible!!!
Ripping guy!

Enjoy my last episode of season 1 with John X!

September 05, 2022 Episode 24 - Jamie Needham
Jamie Needham is an F45 owner here in Tasmania. He is outgoing, a lover of life and a good time.
Basically, Jamie has always lived life on the edge.
But in 2020 everything changed we he had an accident whilst riding his motor bike on a race track travelling at 1500kmph.
Jamie fractured his T2, T2, T3, T4, C3, C4 and C7 vertebrae's, 3 ribs and suffered an incomplete central spinal cord injury.
Jamie’s remarkable fightback and recovery is something to admire.
In this episode Jamie shares with me about his life in the fast lane prior to his accident, how he came about to be an F45 owner and the world of being in the fitness industry. We spoke about the way his life has changed since the accident with work, relationships and things that previously came easy to him.
We also got an insight into his recent trip to the US for stem cell treatment, and what he wants for his future.
Jamie now sees the world in a different light, he wants people to be more compassionate and patient with those around us that might be a little less fortunate - a good learning for us all.

Thanks for letting the Get Frank family into your world Jamie!
Enjoy!

August 29, 2022 Episode 23 - Sarah De Jonge
Sarah De Jonge is the Founder of 1000 Hearts which is a global kindness community here in Tasmania. Which Sarah said she simply created because she felt the world needed a bit of love – how right she was!
To start off, Sarah stitched 1000 pocket hearts to be given away as a random act of kindness.
However, she then started getting messages from people who had receiving them telling her the positive difference that small gesture had made.
People asked her for additional hearts, and it snowballed where the idea of making a heart and sending it to someone really grew.
Because of Sarah’s small act of love, 1000 Hearts is now a widely loved and ever-growing community of people across the world.
Sarah discussed with me the power of kindness, how it can make a difference, how we can all be kind, and also shared some wonderful stories of where her initiative has made a positive difference to someone else – really powerful stuff.
We need more kindness in the world, and if we can all be a little bit like Sarah, we will all surely make this world a better place.
Enjoy!
