Ever wondered what goes on in the head of a regular country bloke? Find out in this series of down to earth conversations with rural men telling their own authentic stories.
Today I’m joined by Rory Callaghan — a wellness architect, author, and speaker whose work blends science, soul, and storytelling.
Rory’s journey hasn’t been straightforward. From growing up with an absent father and facing burnout as a health professional in his twenties, he’s transformed those challenges into a global movement centred on self-care and conscious leadership.
His mission is simple but powerful: when we take care of ourselves first, we create ripple effects that transform our families, our communities, and beyond.

S2 Ep 15 | Andrew Shepherd - 'Fat Farmers'
In this episode, Andrew (Shep) Shepherd and I chat about how ‘Fat Farmers’ came to life, and the impact it’s having in country communities.
What started with a few mates catching up for a workout and a laugh, has grown into something much bigger - built on movement, mateship, and looking out for each other.
The group’s big on making sure everyone feels welcome, and that sense of belonging really shines through.
It’s a genuine conversation about showing up, staying connected, and taking small steps toward a healthier, more grounded life - whatever that looks like for you.
I hope you enjoy listening!

S2 Ep 14 | Bill Van Nierop
Today on the podcast, I’m honoured to welcome Bill Van Nierop, a true testament to resilience and purpose.
Nearly 10 years ago, Bill was told he had an incurable and inoperable disease, and had 3-4 years to live.
Diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and then undergoing a bilateral lung transplant, Bill has since turned his challenges into advocacy, raising awareness and funds for lung disease.
From kayaking the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers to walking 700 kilometres, his story is one of determination and hope.
Join us as we explore Bill's extraordinary journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
