A Dive Into The Mind

Episode 17: Steve Warton

This week we’re diving into a different pool as we talk business, taking risks, self improvement and getting after it with our friend, Mr. Steve Warton.⁠ ⁠ A late bloomer in the world of academia and business in general, Steve’s path was far from a straight line to success. Without a clear vision of what he wanted to do and far from a natural student, Steve tried uni and a few jobs he enjoy enough, but it wasn’t until meeting a now good friend and business partner, Matt Clark, that he really found his place.⁠ ⁠ Armed with a crane, a bit of faith and a ‘get after it’ attitude, these boys from the country rolled up their sleeves; bootstrapping their business from a small operation picking up work they could get, to becoming one of Melbourne’s leading crane company. ⁠ ⁠ Join us as for an insightful hour as we learn more about growing a business, building success and great culture, finding balance between work, life and family, and “squeezing the brain" with Mr. Steve Warton.

Episode 16: Jackson Clark

Our next guest not only currently boasts near on 100,000 followers across his football Facebook Pages, NT Football and Local Footy Classics, but is also recognised across the country for one amazing football pilgrimage for mental health in 2017, we welcome Mr. Jackson Clark. Born and raised in Darwin, the Northern Territory native was born a football fanatic. A promising player himself, Jackson found a second, and complimentary passion; writing as the football correspondant with local newspapers from the ripe old age of 13. Launching his NT Football with Jackson Clark in 2011, he’s become the leading source for NT football news and known Australia wide. With his massive following, Jackson was approached in 2017 to be an ambassador for non-for-profit charity, Livin. Not one to just throw on a slogan covered tee and call it job done, he instead took to the road as part of his ‘Kicking the Stigma’ project, playing one game per week at a different club, in a different state right around the country, taking his hashtag and message of #ItAintWeakToSpeak with him. A huge success supported by clubs, AFL stars (including Tom Rockliffe & Matthew Lobbe) and nation-wide media alike. We look forward to sharing our this enlightening and entertaining dive into the mind with the authentic, the adventurous, the passionate Mr. Jackson Clark.

Episode 15: Kyle Reimers

This week we welcome former Essendon Bomber Mr. Kyle Reimers, as we find out little more about the man behind the boots and bravado, and a professional AFL career beyond his wildest imagination. Through a challenging childhood in Bunbury, WA, Kyle found solace in sport, especially Aussie Rules. Overcoming crushing self-doubt to participate at the highest level through his junior year, Kyle would find his way to the Bombers via the 2006 AFL Draft where he would ultimately finish his days touted by many as the catalyst of the Essendon demise (incorrectly and unfairly, we must say!) amidst the supplement saga of the mid 2010s. Kyle talks us through his rollercoaster of a journey as a professional athlete: the joy in playing his favourite opponent, Carlton (a club he almost joined), and that bag of 8 goals against the Suns, to injuries, setbacks and the double-edged sword of a me-against-the-world attitude; the devastating fallout from the Essendon supplement saga and his journey back to good health and happiness. Please join us for an honest and enthralling dive with “the most extraverted introvert you’ll ever see”, Mr. Kyle Reimers.
