I might start calling him 'No-Bullsh*t LeBusque'... Mark's back for a chat and we went straight into the messy middle of self-awareness. Where you realise you’re actually part of the problem. You know, the moment where you sit there reading your own behaviour back at yourself and go… “well, sh*t.”

We got into why most of us only become self-aware when something breaks… why we’re wired to justify our behaviour… and why curiosity might just be the most underrated skill in the game.

Mark also shared some of his latest insights about burnout, doing the hard internal audit on where he was placing his worth, and the brutal honesty it takes to actually change something instead of just talking about it. No shortcuts and quick fixes. Just small, uncomfortable shifts over time.

There were moments that landed. Moments that made me laugh. And moments where I got called out in real time… which, turns out, is exactly the point, aye!

I went in thinking we’d have a cheeky yarn about policy (yep, a very un-Tiff-like topic, I know)… and instead got my brain flipped inside out.

Salli (The Policy Pig... and what a cracking title that is) dragged policy out of the dusty, boring corner we all shove it in… and made it personal. Like, everything you do, everything you experience, every system you bump into… that’s policy at play.

We got into kids on the street, homelessness, violence, government decisions, and the uncomfortable truth that most of us are living inside systems we don’t understand… but are absolutely shaped by.

There were moments that made me laugh, moments that made me go quiet, and moments that genuinely pissed me off and drop a few f-bombs!

And underneath it all was this simple but confronting idea… if we actually gave a sh*t, if we actually paid attention… things might look very different.

Sometimes within seconds of 'meeting' someone on the show I realise I'm going to have an absolute ball for the next hour or so... Mick Marshall sure was one of those humans!

This bloke fell 120 metres inside a wind turbine, had his legs absolutely wrecked, got rescued by mates who’d barely trained for it… and that was just the warm-up act. What followed was years of pain, identity loss, medication overload, and some properly dark moments.

In this chat we got stuck into trauma, labels, addiction, hope, comparison, and the messy business of figuring out who the hell you are when everything you knew gets ripped away. There’s something beautifully simple about his message too… no fluff, no rah-rah… just do the work, know yourself, and stop waiting for permission to live your life.

Also… if anyone ever tells you that you can’t do something… Mick’s probably the bloke you want in your ear!

Ripper dude, ripper episode... Enjoy!
