Adam Blum is the host of the True Blue History Podcast, a volunteer with the NSW Rural Fire Service and committed to helping others prosper.
Growing up in the Blue Mountains, Adam has faced and overcome immense challenges, both physical and mental. Adam’s resilience has given him a new lease on life and he now channels his energy into sharing the powerful stories of Australia’s military history through his podcast. The broadcasting of stories, told by Australian war veterans and military historians, is incredibly important and something that Adam is extremely passionate about.
“I want the audience to be proud of our military history. I want to educate the next generation…without learning our history, we have no future”, Adam said.
Whilst passionate about sharing our history, the podcast has also been a healing process and has aided Adam in overcoming challenges with mental wellbeing and his physical health. Having hit rock-bottom, Adam has now found peace and is committed to his life’s work of helping others overcome adversity, as he did.
“The last two years, I’ve really worked out who I am as a person. The person I am today is the person I want to be going forward”, Adam said.
“For the first time…I’m really happy with where my life is going and I’m genuinely happy with what life has to offer.”
