    Meet Proud Hazara Man Former Refugee , Advocate, Speaker, Olympic Level Martial Artist- Asif Sultani
    Aug 1 2025
    Dear Listeners please forgive the long title and bio but it is appropriate in this instance because it's not often you meet a larger than life humble human with a story like this one ! Meet Asif Sultani as the title suggest he has done ALOT not all by design . He was Born In Afghanistan he is of Hazara heritage was exposed to things no child should have to face. He and is family had to cross the border into Iran to try and live a better life . Exposed to gunfire being separated from his parents and forced to seek a life for himself at the age of 16. He arrived to Australia as a refugee seeking asylum by boat and after being moved around the country settled in the Hunter Valley of NSW where he was given the opportunity to have an education , He also met his now lovely wife (As they were high school sweet hearts) and fell in love with Mixed Martial Arts. After over a decade he obtained his permanent visa and due to this he was able to start the process to try and bring his mother over in an attempt of a better life. He unfortunately lost his father and wasn't able to say good bye. He was in two viral video one of which was shared so much it received over 100 million views (yes I typed that correctly to which there is a link below.) The videos captured moments that were both heartbreaking and heart warming one was the first time he was able to visit his fathers grave to which he made the promise to bring his mother to Australia. After 12 years the moment was captured of him falling to his knees and holding his mother tight both videos bought me to tears. Asif recalls what it's like for someone actively seeking asylum and shows his sincerity and humble nature to those who have aided him on his journey along his journey he explains he wanted to learn how to fight to keep himself safe and fell in love with mixed martial arts. He is so talented he was offered a scholarship to train and possibly compete for the refugee group at the Japen Olympics. I can't do Asif justice despite all the adversity he and his family have endured he does good work raising money and awareness for refugees all over the world he truly is a remarkable human.

    A Sequel for a sequel chatting with Australian storyteller and author - Bruce Lowery
    Feb 26 2025
    On this episode I catch up again with the awesome and talented author Bruce Lowery. Late last year we spoke about the release of his debut novel 'Catch The Wind from the Nullarbor to the far north west in '68" . On this episode we speak about the sequel to this novel titled "Out of Time roaring in Queensland in '69". The amazing story continues of Bruce's tails and the weird and wonderful people he meets as well as reflecting on Australian culture and what was prevalent in Australian society at the time. With amazing reviews and great story telling these books are a really great read. I encourage you all to take a listen and if you want to get in touch with Bruce or read his books everything can be found at www.brucelowery.com
