I have been waiting to play you this podcast! It's a conversation I had with Dave (Farmer Dave) from Big Brother 2006 and his return this year in 2022.
Dave is someone who isn't scared to be his authentic self. In 2006 on Big Brother he came out live on national tv because he wanted to give a voice to the LGBTQIA community.
He has also had his share of accidents that have taken him quite an amount of time to recover from. Dave returned to Big Brother this year for its 21st celebration that put newbies and old stars against each other! It was quite an amazing season.
He works at Rufftrack-
RuffTrack is an awesome youth program based at the RuffTRACK Farm near Riverstone. A fully registered charity, we take on young people (12-17 years old) who have disengaged with school and the community to give them skills, education, a sense of self worth and reconnecting them with their community. We work closely with Hawkesbury police and the incredible BackTrack Youth Works to make a real change in young people's lives.
Each young person bonds with a dog in their first days. That partnership takes them on a journey of learning responsibility, caring for others and communicating without violence. The team then travels the country demonstrating their skills and giving them purpose and a reason to give life a serious go.
Skills attained in the program include dog training, dog sports, horticulture, landscaping, welding, aluminium fabrication, animal husbandry, leather work, wood work, driving and licence attainment, carpentry, mechanics, bushcraft, domestic skills, nutrition and physical education, effective communication, conflict resolution, building healthy relationships..... and a whole lot more!
