On this episode of The Watering Hole, we chat with Tom Lawrence & Oli Faulkner; the founders of Solos Socks.

We chat everything from how the two met in the UK, and the idea to start not just a sock company, but an important legacy. We talk about the powerful story behind the brand and the importance of talking and mental health.

We spent the weekend with the guys and did a social media takeover and we chat through our round at Mount Osmond and the dinner at Pirate Life.

Plus, we go over the Original Glazed vs Cookies & Cream debate and try both side by side.

A very important episode, and if you or anyone you know are experiencing mental health struggles, please reach out and talk to someone.

A big thank you to our partners Pirate Life at Port Adelaide for hosting us for this episode.
