## Resource

There aren’t too many guest episodes that leave you pretty much speechless in the first few seconds of their story however this weeks episode is the exception!  Ash Kasi was left on the door step of an orphanage in Sri Lanka at 3 day’s old, was adopted 6 weeks later to an Australian migrant family and from there takes us through the rollercoaster from 3 days old right through to 43. Ash and Benny cover it all in this one from bullying, identity and family through to stand up comedy and his mission to make 1 person smile every day.        Check out Ash’s podcast, Older But Not Wiser –   https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Older-but-not-Wiser-Podcast-61572427020828/  Feeling thirsty?
