In this ep, I sat down with Rod Owen, and let me tell you, this chat doesn’t pull any punches. Rod’s a former AFL player who opens up in an incredibly raw and powerful way about the abuse he endured as a kid (and in athlete), the addiction that followed him for decades, and how he hit rock bottom and clawed his way back. We talked about his footy days, the drinking culture, the drugs, the attempt he made on his own life, and the long road to recovery... 

Rod’s now over six years sober, doing the deep work, and using his story to try and make a real difference to a broken system. This one’s heavy, but it’s important. Real, unfiltered, and deeply human.

Life hits hard. Good. So do we.
Roll With The Punches is a front-row seat to the messy, beautiful, brutal bits of being human.

Hosted by Tiff Cook - former boxer, coach, speaker, rascal, and someone who’s copped a few uppercuts from life and keeps getting back up. She sits down with global survivors, scientists, rebels, rockstars, and everyday legends to ask one thing:

What does it really take to get back up when life drops you?

We talk breakdowns, breakthroughs, big truths, and the bullsh*t we all carry. Behind the masks. Beneath the armour. Real conversations that crack something open in all of us.

We’re built to break.
And we become dangerous by design.
Honest work over hard work. Every damn time.
