In 1979 Rob Gell's “Four Day Forecast” revolutionised the way television weather was presented. For 31 years, he brought authority, information and credibility to TV news - introducing pretty cool things, like satellite image sequences, integrated pressure analyses and pretty much, helped viewers make sense of it all. I caught up with Rob recently - sparking a “university education” styled conversation - endorsing that Rob Gell, truly is, an amazingly informed spokesperson on environmental and media issues. He links strongly with the scientific and conservation communities, giving a convincing and compelling insight into the thinking and philosophies around these intricate issues. Now heading Rethink Sustainability, Rob and his team are passionate about helping organisations thoughtfully and knowledgeably transition to environmentally sustainable operations that, in turn support the well being of their people. Hear what it feels like being Rob Gell.

In the lead up to Men's Health Week (11-17 June), we kicked off a show, all about Men ... and their health. I recently joined the committee of White Owl for Men's Health, a fair dinkum, hard working group of people, dedicated to making change and reducing health risks to men.

Travis Strong (co-founder) joined me for the second time this year to continue highlighting many of the unknown issues that impact the wellbeing of our men and how we can do a better job supporting, identifying and recognising that men also matter.

We're also took a special moment to commemorate the life of a much loved man, husband, father and friend to so many - Richard Whitehead "Beno", who died suddenly, on May 20, 2018, just days after his 51st birthday.

At a very young age, many of us have the great fortune of being inducted into a system of education - groomed to become "something" that will sustain the rest of our lives. How do we choose an occupation, so important, with such little experience? Do we follow pennies or passion?

Steven Savino picked up his first tennis racquet at the tender age of 11 and from that moment followed his intuition. Some 30 years later, dedication, determination, and trust in his gut has led Steven to become an internationally recognised, professional tennis coach. He joined me to "serve" up some "ace" "deuce" on what it feels like to have followed his career "match" all over the world.

Jacqui Lambie has always stood out from the mediocrity of Australian politicians - even in the announcement of her exit from the Senate after being caught up in the ridiculous 'Citizenship Crisis'. Her no-nonsense response that politicians who unwittingly breached Section 44 of the Constitution should just 'suck it up', deal with their fate and run for Parliament again, is a typical approach that endears her to many.

During her time in Parliament, Jacqui has been a somewhat refreshing and authentic Australian voice in the Senate. Love her or otherwise, you can't deny Jacqui is, fair dinkum, hands down, the "real deal" as she continues to stand steadfast for matters that include a better deal for our military veterans, and a sustainable system of care for those afflicted by the scourge of ice addiction.

Jacqui joined me on the line to talk about these matters and share some titbits from her brand new, warts and all autobiography “Rebel with a Cause”
