When was the last time you stopped to check on your mates? Motorsport is full of driven and seemingly confident people, on both sides of the pit wall, but that doesn’t make them immune to mental health struggles.

TV presenter Barry Du Bois loves his bikes. He’s currently restoring a cool ute too. And while we talk about that in this episode he has an important story to share, the speed humps he’s had to tackle and how he came out the other side. Baz is now a power of positivity and a passionate advocate for R U OK? 

Rusty and the team at LiSTNR are proud to support the R U OK initiative and while this interview is confronting at times it’s about starting a conversation around mental health.

Sure, working on your favourite ride or drive can be good tonic but talking about things is the real start you need to make if you’re facing some challenges in life or if you know someone who might be.
