Bankruptcy and insolvency expert Angus Wood talks us through the basics of what happens when you hit financial rock-bottom. Honestly it's not that bad, the process or the podcast.

This is our first Survivor story for the podcast. Occasionally we'll talk to someone who fell into their own pickle and clawed their way out, like Bonnie Davies. She's a friend of the pod, character comedian and owner of The Gelo Company. Covid hit her hard, she hit rock bottom and bounced back. 

Trigger warning, we broach the topic of suicide.

Our first episode of season 2, and our first guest to wear his hat backwards the whole interview. He's very cool, extremely fit, and truly inspirational. He walks/runs us through how to get back to that pre-covid body (assuming it was good) and maintain fitness irrespective of black swan events like a global pando etc.

Old mate Skeeve Stevens is a cyber security expert, futurist and founder of the Future Crime Agency. He walks us through the gauntlet of online dating scammers, the future of technology, and just generally scares the shit out of us for 45 minutes.

Plumber and professional husband Bryn Dixon plunges us into the world of Plumbering, with basic tactics for blocked toilets and other pipe-based pickles.

Teacher/Comedian/Viking Ben Knight walks us through his survivor story as a primary school teacher dealing with the current scourge of helicopter parents. Classrooms full of normal kids are fine, but their less than average parents are the real issue.

Adam Howard is a bouncer and security specialist with 25 years in the game. He's also the owner and proprietor of Street Safe Australia self-defence courses. He talks us through surviving a late night encounter with a would-be attacker.
