2 Worlds Collide Podcast

🎙️ In this special episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I’m joined by Mali Briggs — founder of the Aussie Frontline Foundation and a close mate — to reflect on a run that pushed me to my absolute limit. 1,042km. 23.5 days. An average of 45km a day along the Great Ocean Road — all to raise awareness and funds for the frontline workers and veterans doing it tough. In this episode, we break down the highs and lows of the run, the mental and physical battles, and the bigger “why” behind it all. We talk about the reality many frontline workers face, and how support from organisations like Aussie Frontline Foundation can change — and even save — lives. There’s still time to donate. Every bit goes toward helping those who’ve had our backs.

🎙️ In This Powerful Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Cam Hardiman — a former Victorian Police officer and federal agent who spent decades on Australia’s front lines. From chasing violent offenders to working in immigration enforcement, Cam’s career exposed him to the harsh realities of crime, broken systems, and the real toll frontline workers carry. In this episode, we dive into the growing pressure police face in 2025 — from mass immigration impacts, to the Footscray shooting, to the growing feeling that those who serve are being hung out to dry. But this conversation goes deeper than headlines. We talk about Cam’s personal battles — including his struggle with PTSD — and what it takes to rebuild after life in uniform.

This week, I sit down with Nathan ‘Tolly’ Tolman, a veteran of 6RAR with over two decades of service and multiple combat deployments—including one of the most significant engagements Australian soldiers have faced in modern history: The Battle of Derapet. 🎖️ On 24 August 2010, in the Tangi Valley of Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, Australian and Afghan troops engaged in a 3-hour firefight with a heavily armed Taliban force.

This week, I sat down behind the mic on my own to speak about something that’s been weighing heavy. What did I actually fight for? Because looking around… it doesn’t feel like the country I served. 💬 In this solo episode, I open up about: 👉 Why kids are being confused instead of protected 👉 How we’re failing young men by calling them toxic 👉 Why fairness in sport is being pushed aside 👉 How everyday Aussies are being locked out of the land they love 👉 What happens when free speech becomes risky 👉 Why so many people feel like strangers in their own country 👉 And the slow decay of the values we once stood for This is a raw, unfiltered chat. Not to cause outrage — but to raise awareness. To say what so many Aussies are thinking, but don’t feel they can say out loud. It’s not about politics. It’s about common sense. And if we don’t start speaking up — we’ll lose the very things that made this country worth fighting for. 📅 Full episode out now. 📢 Follow the Journey & Connect: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 📱 Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast 🎙️ TikTok: @2.worlds.collide.podcast 📱 X: @2worldsPodcast 🔥 Watch & Subscribe: 📺 YouTube: /@2worldscollide 🎧 Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more “Silence Protects.

In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Jeremiah Wilber—a former U.S. Army Green Beret and Military Police Officer, who has spent his life on the frontlines of war and beyond. From his first combat deployment to Iraq in 2005/06, to fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan as a Green Beret, and returning to Iraq to battle ISIS, Jeremiah has seen war in its rawest form. He’s experienced the highs of being in an elite unit and the lows of witnessing the brutal realities of combat. But his fight didn’t end when he left the military.

In this clip of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Jeremiah Wilber, a former U.S. Army Green Beret and Military Police Officer, to talk about one of the hardest transitions a warrior can face—life after the military. Jeremiah breaks down the raw reality of what it’s like to go from being trained as an attack dog—ready for war, wired for combat—to suddenly being told, "You don’t need to fight anymore." But as he shares, you can’t just flip that switch off. 💡 In this powerful conversation, we discuss: 👉 How the military conditions warriors for combat but doesn’t prepare them for separation. 👉 The struggle of finding purpose after service—when the mission ends, but the fire still burns. 👉 The warrior mentality—how to channel it into something greater rather than letting it destroy you. 👉 Jeremiah’s own journey in navigating this transition while always doing the right thing. This isn’t just a story of leaving the military—it’s about transformation, discipline, and finding a new fight worth standing for. 📅 Full episode drops this weekend! 📢 Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 📱 Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast 🐦 TikTok: @2.worlds.collide.podcast 📱 X: @2worldsPodcast 🔥 Watch Now & Subscribe for More: 📺 YouTube: /@2worldscollide 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more!

This isn’t happening in some far-off country—it’s happening right here in our backyard. Andrew isn’t just calling it out—he’s fighting for real change. One of his biggest pushes?
