Speaker 1: who's run.
Speaker 2: By our next guest.
Speaker 3: There's a genuine uzzie hero who ran the Links of
Speaker 3: Australia for charity.
Speaker 4: I was hoping to raising million dollars for charity, but
Speaker 4: I was also hoping to just to be honest, inspire
Speaker 4: a lot of people to keep getting up and keep going.
Speaker 5: He's also been moonlighting as a milkman, organizing community milk runs.
Speaker 2: At four am.
Speaker 3: In fact, I think he's just run here from one
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Please welcome to the show Rock Fast Morning. Also good
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 5: Young Australian of the Year title just keeps getting longer
Speaker 5: and longer and longer.
Speaker 4: I know the legend is yet thrown out. I'm not
Speaker 4: definitely not one of those, but I feel very honored
Speaker 4: to be here.
Speaker 3: Goes does one get for Young Australia of the Year.
Speaker 3: Do you get some sort of show bag or.
Speaker 2: They didn't give me a showbag but I did.
Speaker 4: I guess it's the invite into more rooms to get
Speaker 4: more changeup.
Speaker 2: So that's been really cool.
Speaker 1: You go at those those swinky events.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, not those events. I don't go to them,
Speaker 4: I say no. But yeah, it's been it's been really special.
Speaker 4: It's been a very cool something. I never thought i'd
Speaker 4: be in that position where they're recognizing me for the
Speaker 4: things I've done. But I don't you know, whether I
Speaker 4: did or didn't get it didn't change much other than
Speaker 4: the fact they get opportunities because of what we do.
Speaker 6: So you've just done your final milk run.
Speaker 2: It's sad times.
Speaker 6: What's happening. How many people turned up at the town
Speaker 6: at four am this morning?
Speaker 2: So many lagers. I don't know the number.
Speaker 4: But Big Milk, Big Milkause has ruined Little Milk's life.
Speaker 2: But that's all right. We are.
Speaker 1: So you're saying goodbye to Ned's.
Speaker 3: Very big milk as in the big corporation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I'm not. I'm not blaming them. We obviously
Speaker 2: had a business pointing the blame.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't accountability. Whatever you do, don't take accountability. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we've had to. We've had to pack up, shot tooled
Speaker 4: down for Ned's milk.
Speaker 2: We are. We're pushed on for some time.
Speaker 4: But you know, just through under standing the way the
Speaker 4: world works and the monopoly that is the dairy industry
Speaker 4: in this country.
Speaker 2: We've had to. You know, the margins are tough and
Speaker 2: it's really hard to make ends meet.
Speaker 1: So we had not fire bombing your cows or anything
Speaker 1: that because that's a big thing.
Speaker 2: Take out the competition.
Speaker 5: Really are getting need You've you've raised so much money
Speaker 5: with Ned's Milk. It's been an awesome business. You should
Speaker 5: really hold your head high. These things are out.
Speaker 6: Of your control.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you've done an amazing job with Ned's Milk and
Speaker 5: you should be so proud of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. It's honestly been such a journey.
Speaker 4: Like I the whole idea behind this was to do
Speaker 4: good and make a good product.
Speaker 2: And we made the good product.
Speaker 4: But the do good part was purely based off the
Speaker 4: fact we can make it profitable and it's been tough
Speaker 4: to do that, so we had to. You know, I'm
Speaker 4: actually more proud of this than I am of a
Speaker 4: lot of the things I've succeeded. And so to speak,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't call it a failure more than anything. I
Speaker 4: called it, you know, a great moment in time. We've
Speaker 4: had the experience so lots of business lessons, but onto
Speaker 4: the next and doing good as much as possible. We're
Speaker 4: trying to, you know, get people to double down on
Speaker 4: the uncomfortable challenges here, do their own and still raise
Speaker 4: money for Mobilize, which is all the goal is here
Speaker 4: and end homelessess in this country.
Speaker 1: How's your body doing? Because last time we caught up,
Speaker 1: I think it was good. Last time I think there
Speaker 1: was you know, you were still healings.
Speaker 6: A toe falling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I'm always still healing, but just
Speaker 4: by the pursuits of of what I do.
Speaker 2: But I'm good. I feel a bit sound, a bit sick.
Speaker 2: It just a bit ras I've just been traveling a lot.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm fit, feeling fine, and yeah, feeling excited
Speaker 4: my athletic pursuits. I'm trying to go fast in the
Speaker 4: marathon now I'm trying to double down on that. But
Speaker 4: you know, we're still definitely pushing and still trying to
Speaker 4: make sure, you know, Mobilizers ticking along and getting all
Speaker 4: the opportunities aken to help people in this country.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, what's next? What are you what?
Speaker 3: What's on the agenda for the rest of the year.
Speaker 3: Do you sit down and plan or are you more impulsive,
Speaker 3: top guy.
Speaker 4: I was just saying, Jason, I'm just trying to enjoy
Speaker 4: the moment, trying to just be present. I spent a
Speaker 4: very long amount of my last few years thinking about
Speaker 4: the future and trying to lass to it and trying
Speaker 4: to control it and just get by stay to get
Speaker 4: to that point. But you keep doing it, so the
Speaker 4: more being present. But yeah, like having goals, We've got
Speaker 4: the uncomfortable challenge. It's something I'm trying to get people
Speaker 4: around trying to do their own ten days, I can
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 2: Anyone can do it.
Speaker 6: And what you have to do to take part in anything.
Speaker 2: Anything that's uncomfortable. That's the thing is. It's what's got
Speaker 2: for lunch with my mother in.
Speaker 6: Law ten days in.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we're remember that, but we're trying to, Yeah,
Speaker 4: just get people around that to take life, grab it
Speaker 4: by the plums and taking their own.
Speaker 1: No. No, remember you ripped into me when we're in
Speaker 1: the US, and you changed my mindset. I became above
Speaker 1: the line guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, he's been he's been a bit negative, but
Speaker 5: we turned that front upside down.
Speaker 1: Saying the ned off the air. Like my big thing
Speaker 1: at the moment is because life is such a routine
Speaker 1: and just working through the motions, live, not just exist.
Speaker 6: Well, that's the point of the uncomfortable challenge, right.
Speaker 2: If one was to get into running, not suggesting it's
Speaker 2: me asking for free. Oh for a I just want
Speaker 2: you to sort.
Speaker 3: Of dumb it down a bit like, okay, so me,
Speaker 3: I by battle a lot with running. What what did
Speaker 3: you do in those initial stages to get going?
Speaker 4: You know what I'd say, it actually is it comes.
Speaker 4: It's similar with the mindset. It's it's just a mindset shift.
Speaker 4: I think we get so caught up in like oh
Speaker 4: I'm not doing this or I can't do this, versus well,
Speaker 4: I just did this and I'm now feeling good because
Speaker 4: of it. So I think it's the the consistency piece.
Speaker 4: So getting out just consistently, not overdoing it, not being
Speaker 4: a hero and trying to do a big run because
Speaker 4: someone else has done it.
Speaker 2: Just get out.
Speaker 4: Consistently twice, three times, four times a week, and that
Speaker 4: pays dividends.
Speaker 2: But then go I get to run versus oh I
Speaker 2: have to run.
Speaker 6: I am to run versus I have to run. I
Speaker 6: love that.
Speaker 3: It might be Commonwealth Games, Bound, the Old Person.
Speaker 2: Month, the Masters Masters of the Geriatric Games make the
Speaker 2: pins like Neddy here.
Speaker 6: Look at his second time.
Speaker 2: There's just a shocking tan line from the cycling. But
Speaker 2: they have been on a bike a lot.
Speaker 5: I saw that. And they see you doing some sort
Speaker 5: of ultra marathon what do they call iron man?
Speaker 2: You won't be seeing me doing I man, I'm pursuing
Speaker 2: the marathon. I'm going as hard as I can in
Speaker 2: the marathon.
Speaker 5: The marathon, which marathon, all of them, all you can
Speaker 5: do all around the world.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just like just spending time getting as fast
Speaker 2: as possibly can.
Speaker 6: In the marathon, which which marathon?
Speaker 5: Will not even haven't you done that you'd like to do?
Speaker 4: To be honest, this sounds really like not cool, but
Speaker 4: I don't really care.
Speaker 2: I just purely want to.
Speaker 6: Run a fast one on a fast anyway.
Speaker 4: So wherever the world takes it, I'd be very privileged
Speaker 4: to do that. But yeah, I just want to get fast.
Speaker 1: We're going to send you the New York one, but
Speaker 1: we'll say the flight so you can do the.
Speaker 6: Easier than New York if you want to be fast.
