This week on the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I’m doing something different.

Instead of hosting, I jumped on someone else’s show — and I sat down with Brodie Buchal, host of the Brodie Buchal Podcast (YouTube: @BrodieJamesBuchal) for a no-filter conversation about my military career, what’s gone wrong in Australia, and the war on masculinity happening right under our noses.

Brodie gave me the space to go deep — from Afghanistan to politics, national identity, accountability, the cost-of-government crisis, and why young men are struggling to find purpose in a culture obsessed with weakening them.

It was real, honest, and one of the most personal conversations I’ve done on camera.

Massive shoutout to Brodie for having me on — and for letting me re-release the episode here for the 2WC community.
