  • #114 The reality of living in apartheid South Africa - Wendy Alexander

    Wendy Alexander's life changed at the age of 6 when she discovered the harsh reality of apartheid in South Africa. While playing on the beach with her siblings, she was confronted by a police officer who pointed out a sign that read "whites only." This pivotal moment opened her eyes to the discrimination and inequality that existed in her country. From that day on, Wendy's perspective and understanding of the world was forever altered, shaping her into the advocate and leader she is today. From growing up a woman of colour in apartheid South Africa to being held up at g**point in her first job in Australia and more than her fair share of health challenges - she's beat them all. A remarkable individual who has faced and overcome incredible challenges. From navigating the hardships of being a single mother to transitioning from corporate work to running her own successful business.

  • #102 POW in Hanoi Hilton - Charlie Plumb

    Captain Charlie Plumb has lived what he believes to be the American Dream. As a farm kid from Kansas, he fantasized about airplanes, although he felt certain he would never have the opportunity to pilot one. It would be the United States Navy who afforded Plumb the opportunity to live out that dream.

    After graduating from the Naval Academy, Plumb completed Navy Flight Training and reported to Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego where he flew the first adversarial flights in the development of what would be called The Navy Fighter Weapons School, currently known as “TOP GUN.” The next year, Plumb’s squadron the Aardvarks launched on the Aircraft Carrier USS Kitty Hawk with Fighter Squadron 114 to fly the Navy’s hottest airplane, the F-4 Phantom Jet. Code named “Plumber,” Charlie Plumb flew 74 successful combat missions over North Vietnam and made over 100 carrier landings.

    On his 75th mission, just five days before the end of his tour, Plumb was shot down over Hanoi, taken prisoner and spent the next 2,103 days in North Vietnamese Prisoner of War camps. His first prison cell was 8 ft. long and 8 ft. wide. During his nearly six years of captivity, Plumb distinguished himself as a pro in underground communications. He was a great inspiration to all the other POWs and served as chaplain for two years.

    Following his repatriation, Plumb continued his Navy flying career in Reserve Squadrons where he flew A-4 Sky Hawks, A-7 Corsairs and FA-18 Hornets. His last two commands as a Naval Reservist were on the Aircraft Carrier Corral Sea and at a Fighter Air Wing in California. He retired from the United States Navy with the rank of Captain after 31 years of service.

    Since his return home, Plumb has captivated more than 5,000 audiences in almost every industry around the world with stories that parallel his POW experience with the challenges of everyday life.

    To this day, Captain Plumb continues to fly left seat at every opportunity. The most treasured plane he owns and flies is a WWII PT-19 Open-Cockpit antique which is currently on loan to the Palm Springs, CA Air Museum. He also owns a Rutan-designed experimental single-engine Long-Eze.

  • #101 Strategic Risk - Heston Russell

    TW: Discussion of suicide ideology and mental health

    Retired Special Forces Major and decorated combat Veteran Heston Russell has dedicated his life to serving his country and the wider Veteran community. 

    Heston joined the Australian Army at the age of 17 as a fifth generation Army Veteran following in the footsteps of his father Mark who served for over twenty years in the Australian Army. 

    While at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Heston completed a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New South Wales majoring in History & Indonesian. 

    Graduating in 2006 from the Royal Military College of Duntroon, Heston was posted to his first commissioned appointment as a Platoon Commander with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (2 RAR) where Heston deployed to Timor Leste carrying out peacekeeping operations. 

    In 2010, Heston successfully completed the highly-competitive Special Forces selection and training to become a Qualified Commando Officer within the 2nd Commando Regiment (2 CDO REGT), Special Operations Command - Australia (SOCOMD). 

    During his tenure within 2 CDO REGT, Heston completed the appointments of Commando Platoon Commander, Company Executive Officer and Adjutant. These appointments also included three Operational Deployments to Afghanistan and the Middle East Area of Operations and also saw Operational Service in support of a number of Domestic Counter Terrorism operations within the Asia-Pacific Region. 

    In 2015 Heston was posted on exchange to serve within the United States Special Operations Command, including an additional operational deployment to the Middle East Area of Operations. 

    On return to Australia in 2016, Heston was promoted to Major and appointed Officer Commanding of the Commando and Support Staff Selection and Training continuum at the Special Forces Training Centre. Later that year Heston completed his final operational deployment, to Iraq, as the Special Operations Joint Lead Planner within the Special Operations Joint Task Force. 

    After returning from his deployment in 2017, Heston took extended leave to lead the expansion of the US originated fitness brand Barry’s Bootcamp to Australia and Singapore before officially discharging from the Australian Defence Force in January 2019. In 2020 Heston founded Voice Of A Veteran, a platform to better support the modern Veteran community, instigating action and promoting changes within the government systems designed to support Veterans. A key focus of Heston’s work is to help the wider Australian community better understand the value of Veterans and common issues transitioning to civilian life. 

    Heston launched, led and supported a number of successful campaigns supporting Veterans.

    Heston has now formed the Veteran Support Force (VSF.org.au), an impact organisation that is tasked to proactively support Veterans and their Families throughout the conduct of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. Heston is also an experienced public speaker, focusing on the following core themes; leadership, culture, acceptance, bravery, diversity, identity, emotional Intelligence and mental health. 

    Heston is a regular commentator on major media outlets and has been widely consulted across all levels of Government relevant to Veterans’ Affairs and his community support initiatives. Heston now lives in Queensland with his Mini-Dachshund Son Copper.

  • #100 Eyeless Mind - Stephanie Duesing

    How can you be blind and not even know it? Stephanie Duesing is an author, speaker, and international advocate for people who have CVI.

    In January of 2017, she discovered that her straight A honors student, genius artist, and water polo-playing son Sebastian was almost completely blind and no one knew, not even Sebastian himself. He was fifteen and just about to enroll in driver's ed. We were devastated. Terrified for her son's safety, overwhelmed with guilt at not knowing that her own son was blind, and utterly baffled at the impossibility of the situation, she embarked on a journey to find answers.

    Her book Eyeless Mind: A Memoir About Seeing and Being Seen is the true story of how she, an ordinary music teacher, made a major medical discovery in the field of visual neuroplasticity and the horrific medical malpractice and abuse she experienced trying to get a diagnosis for what turned out to be a common visual impairment. Her son Sebastian is the only person in the world known to process his vision verbally, which means that he sees with words like a bat sees with sound. Dr. Lotfi Merabet, the director of the Laboratory for Visual Neuroplasticity at Schepens Eye Research Institute, associate scientist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, and associate professor of ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, published this paper on Sebastian's use of verbal mediation to process his vision in collaboration with Dr. Barry Kran, the head of optometrics at the New England Eye Low Vision Clinic at the Perkins School for the Blind.

    Although Sebastian's neuroplastic adaptation to his neurological visual impairment is unique, his actual condition of CVI is common and is poorly understood. Cerebral/cortical visual impairment was identified as the number one cause of visual impairment in the developed world more than ten years ago, and it still doesn't have a diagnostic code within the American medical industry.

    Dr. Merabet says that Eyeless Mind is "a must-read for any family facing the challenges of raising a child with any disability."

    It is Stephanie’s mission to end the discrimination against people who have CVI.

  • #97 "10 feet tall & not quite bull**proof" - Cameron Hardiman

    Cameron Hardiman joined the Victoria Police at age eighteen and served over 34 years in policing. Most of his time with Victoria Police was as an air observer with the Police Air Wing. He saw his fair share of trauma and dealt with it like most coppers would: he quickly put each dangerous job out of his mind as soon as it was over. But one particular rescue in Bass Strait brought about a reckoning - and Cameron was never the same again. He eventually joined the Australian Federal Police and served on overseas missions that included the Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. He then transferred into an investigations role, focusing first on general crime, then people smuggling operations and counter terr***sm. Cameron has authored “ten feet tall and not quite bull**proof” about his story.
