On this episode Pat is joined by Jason Kanoa the CEO of Winda - Mara Aboriginal Corp and Troy Lovett, who works for Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Inc.
These two men are some of the most respected men in the wider community, two men whom transcend all amounts of knowledge regarding indigenous people and culture. They share their important perspectives as proud aboriginal men, from Gunditjmara country.
It is important that we unite and support each as a community and make dramatic changes to our own insights/beliefs and to force systematic change for indigenous people and all cultures within our country. I feel discussions with the traditional owners of Australia, proper education, resources and voting necessary powers can implement the change we need.
This was an absolute pleasure, we hope you all enjoy.
Love, The ACWP team.

Liam O'Brien is one of the most formidable young talents in the world of surfing. After coming so close to qualifying for the World Tour last year, I had the pleasure of discussing the world of surfing and Liam's impressive path so far in the sport. Liam is an intelligent, open minded and nice guy and he really shared a tremendous insight and perspective in his quest to gain his pro card.
It was a genuine pleasure, we discussed how he got started into surfing, his influences in and outside the sport, travels and experiences that come along with surfing, developing a competition mentality and sharing what plans are on the cards for one the most talented young surfers.
This was very enjoyable, as always we hope you enjoy it as well.
Love, The ACWP Team.

On the inaugural episode of 'ISOMATES', Pat is joined by some of his best mates as they catch up with each other whilst in isolation. They boys look back at some special memories and share some quality laughs and stories. We look back at why Jake Edwards is a real 'borderline' bloke, some of the most unusual places Benny Malcolm has left his deodorant, discuss half marathons, Joel's new passion for online gaming and Brody's first smooch.
On top of this we have committed to ramping up the mileage for a month starting from Friday 24/4. We will aim to individually run or ride 232km's to raise money for Beyond Blue and mental health awareness. Unfortunately it is reported that within a month 232 individuals take their own lives.
It is important that during these times even though we are isolated that we remain connected. We also have developed a community STRAVA group for the 'ISO232' challenge for those wanting to raise mental health awareness and join in on tackling the challenge.
