This week I chat with Andrew Woodhead (Woody) about his book LIGHT and creating his own Foundation. Woody talks about his own mental health journey, one I think a lot of people will relate with. We talk about how an off the cuff remark from his psychologist led him to creating his book. Woody also works for Australian Mental Health Charity Batyr, giving a voice to the elephant in the room.

I talk with a best mate of mine Mark Anderson, reflecting on his career path. A geordie lad starting in scaffolding with the family business chose to look further afield getting a grad job in the corporate world of IT (where we met) before going into teaching, modelling, crime fighting and even a short stint on TV. He's got some funny stories on the way but we talk about how he's now gone full circle now fronting the family business.
