This bloke also has an attitude and energy about him that you just want to bottle up and be able to sell! Together they catch up and talk all things Flying, FIFO, waterskiing, sacrifice, grief and what’s behind this infectious love for life!  Enjoy this one, it will pump you up!    Get around Flying Blind on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast   If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
