'I needed to give up. I needed to realise people liked me for me being me' with Damien Bodie

This episode's guest began his journey into a world of make believe at young age, working in film and tv on an array of children series, and with over two decades of evolution his credits including series such as winners and losers, neighbours, and Elephant Princess.

This episode's guest began his journey into a world of make believe at young age, working in film and tv on an array of children series, and with over two decades of evolution his credits including series such as winners and losers, neighbours, and Elephant Princess. A life time of positivity and optimism hit a sharpe resistance of polar opposite perspective and almost lost him all that he had ever known to be. But like the caterpillar. Re-emerging to find a true state of possibility and happiness. Which leads him to his greatest role yet, as a soon to be father. We welcome Australian Actor Damien Bodie.

This was such an in-depth, almost 2 hour chat as Founder; Glenn and Damien get deep and real. We hear of an amazing career in the lime light, and how self-doubt crept in which nearly lost Damien everything. We discuss the fear of failure yet the fear of success and ultimately what it took for Damien to dig deep and realise what he needed to do in himself to take back control of his life to turn everything around. To find out more about Damien, simply head to his socials at @damienbodie or IMDB at: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0090926/
