On our final episode of the Six Pack Of Champion Virtues series we take this opportunity to honor and highlight Craig Wilkinson as a leader and advocate for change and role model in, Leading For Change. Craig shares his early childhood memories growing up in Johannesburg, travelling around various countries with his family and schooling in Botswana. We unpack some unfortunate incidents that led to suicide in his family, inspiration for his work through Father A Nation and how much his faith has helped him through some of life's most challenging moments. An avid mountain biker and all round great guy, we discuss how he spends his time when relaxing and find out where he draws some inspiration to keep moving in his purpose and while doing his highly important but selfless work. 

My guest Craig Wilkinson is the Founder and CEO of Father A Nation which focuses on equipping men to be brave, fearless role models and fathers who use their strength to love, protect and stand against abuse. .
