Stephan Rochecouste has achieved accolades only most can dream of, but living with a disability, the 26-year-old shares his earlier struggles to fend off demons and find purpose in his life... which almost saw him give up. Stephan's chat is one of inspiration, strength and determination and should come as no surprise Real Talk host Katie Brown describes him as a role model.
