Episode 2 - Rick J Petersen
In this episode, I sit down with Rick J Petersen - a former SAS soldier, survival expert, and mentor working with people across Australia.
Rick shares his story growing up on a remote island in Tasmania, the breakdown of his family, and the path that led him into the military at 17. From there, we explore his time in the SAS, his connection to bushcraft and nature, and the lessons he’s carried into his work today.
We also get into deeper territory - fatherhood, absence, masculinity, and the role of strong male guidance in shaping the next generation.
This is a grounded, honest conversation…
