  • Episode 25: "I Made a Big Mistake w/ Benjamin Roberts

    In todays episode I'll be addressing a major oversight I have made with this project. I'll be chatting about making it over the halfway mark of the project. And I'll be talking about my new mindset going into performing on the last 276 streets in the Adelaide CBD to raise money and awareness for mental health and support charities and organisations that are supporting people that are struggling.

    On Friday January 10th 2025 I was very lucky to meet and chat with CEO of the Mental Health Council of Tasmania, Connie Digolis.
    It was nice to be behind the mic back in my home state of Tasmania, and was really great to listen about all the great work that the Mental Health Council is doing in the southern state.
    A huge thanks to Connie for her time, and also to Nick Sullivan for joining the dots and making this podcast happen.

    Thanks to Cal for having me and letting me share the episode on my channel.
    "The quality of our mental health is intertwined with our sense of connection to each other and the world around us.
    Humans are social creatures; we need community wherever we can find it, and being lonely makes us more likely to be mentally ill.
    Ben is a musician on a mission to create connection his own way. Since April, he's been taking his guitar down every single street in the Adelaide CBD singing and striking up conversations while raising money
    for charity.
    Ben's got his own mental health story, and is so passionate about that he's taken the Concrete Connection Project on as a full time job...
    This is Benjamin Roberts..."
