Show Notes

In this raw and reflective episode, I sit down with an old mate and former trucking mentor to unpack everything from learning to drive road trains to life-changing accidents, parenting with purpose, and leaving the shift work grind behind. From diesel spills to dad life, this one’s packed with laughs, insights, and plenty of real talk about growth, responsibility, and finding meaning in the chaos.

Guest: Richie — 20+ years in Australian transport, father of six, team leader, mentor, and part of the BlXCK INK story from day one.
