The life of a truck driver can be incredibly isolating. We sit down with Rod Hannifey to chat about this incredible initiative that he has launched together with GME and Rural Outreach Counselling

I first saw Rod on an episode of Sunrise and was so inspired by what he was doing, I knew I had to get him on the podcast,

As we went deep into conversation, I was saddened to hear how Isolating being on the road can be and how there is such a need for connection and other people who just 'get' the industry.

I also learned about many road safety issues they face and how heavily it impacts them.

This is an incredibly informative episode and one I think everyone should listen to!
