In this episode we meet Martin Broad, a motivational speaker from Springsure using his life experiences to educate youth about the dangers of risky behaviour, alcohol, and brain injury.

After a night out on the town to celebrate a new job, Martin realised he'd locked himself out of his apartment.  He tried to climb up the side of the building to get to the open door on his balcony - and fell seven storeys to the ground, sustaining severe injuries including acquired brain injury.

These days Martin owns his own home, has his drivers licence back, and is building his career as a speaker sharing his experience and insights.  His business shares the initials "ABI" with his disability - but in this case, it stands for Actually Bloody Incredible.
