• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's their Happy Families podcast. Hi, my name's Craig Bruce.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I've been working with Justin and Kylie on the podcast
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. Some of you may
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be aware that on Monday, Justin's nephew, Logan, died at
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the age of twenty. He took his own life, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: as you can imagine, the Coulson's are just heartbroken. I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: don't know much about Logan. Justin has talked to me
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: about him, just said he was an incredible kid. They
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: love to go surfing together, great sense of humor, just
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a great person to be around. What I do know
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: is that he was loved by his parents and his grandparents,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: his cousins, and you know, he was loved by Justin
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and Kylie. And he's left an enormous hole that's going
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to be really hard to fill. So at the moment,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Justin and Kylie are focused on the girls and they're
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: wider family, and I'm sure you'll understand they're going to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: take a couple of days off from the podcast just
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to collect their thoughts and spend some time with the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: people that matter most. You guys matter a lot, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: obviously family is family right now, So The plan is
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the next episode will be available on Wednesday, and it's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: an episode that I really hope that you'll take the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: time to listen to. Just a brief backstory. A couple
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of months ago, I was listening to a podcast interview
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with Colin Campbell, who's written a book called Finding the Words,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: which tells the story of his son and daughter who
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: were killed in a car accident a couple of years ago.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And the book is about how his wife and family
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and how he managed to deal with that unimaginable grief.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So I told Justin about the book and about Colin,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and I said, I think our audience needs to hear
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this man. I think he's someone that we should share
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: his story with our listeners. And there was a bit
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of back and forth. You know, we are the Happy
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Families podcast, and we try to look for the positive
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and for the uplift in everything that we do. So
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it took a little bit of convincing on my behalf
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to get Justin over the line. But it's turned out
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that this interview will not only be I think, incredibly
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: moving for user here, but it's also come at exactly
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the right time for Justin and Kylie's Family, So that's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: next Wednesday, and Colin's book is called Finding the Words
• 2:16

• 2:18
