HORSES MOUTH

AMBER SMITH

Welcome to another episode of the Horses Mouth, This episode I had the good fortune of talking to my friend Amber, who said yes to a chat if I kept her name anonymous - which I can totally get on board with, she really lays out her Journey into Adulthood which really isn't for the faint-hearted, it's not a linear life - from Gymnastics and associated pressures to hospitals, beating addiction, sex work and back to school, as I write this think there is a book of a movie in Ambers story.
Amber thanks for sharing 
 
 
 

JIM ALLEN

Jim Allen is a one out of the box Fisherman's fisherman, for as long as he's been breathing air it seems to have been about fishing, but not only is it fishing Jim has an air about him, a twinkle in his eye a zest for life you might say, that has him a warm no bullshit good for a laugh kind of Demeanor, He's lived and breathed fishing so much that he's been given an Order of Australia medal ( OAM ) no small feat, they are nor exacting giving these things away for a 100k Instagram followers, he earned this honor for his contribution to protecting natural fish habitats and the protection of wild fish of  Australia, so you and your kids can enjoy what he grew up enjoying at a time when Australia was a different place it is today.
It was a pleasure to meet Jim and have a coffee and shoot the breeze over many topics on and off the microphone. I hope you enjoy Jim's story.

Mallacoota Rik is from Mallacoota - he is a serious jack of all trades, Diver, Plumber, Chippy, Captain, surfer, Relic hunter / Smuggler, tour guide, Rik is the quintessential Australian she'll be right mate have a crack loveable rogue. A dying breed as Australian society gets more and more gentrified by the minute.
Rik has lived more lives than most, he's got more far-flung adventures and experiences than one can jam in a podcast, there is a book in him I've no doubt. 
Super stoked to have had Coota in for storytime
