From 9 years playing 'Sam Marshall' on the set of Home & Away, to countless rescues apart of the team at Bondi Rescue, to the chilly waters of the English Channel - it is fair to say this weeks guest Ryan 'Whippet' Clarke has crammed a lot into his 39 years.  However for all that he has achieved as an actor, lifeguard, family man and successful business owner, Whippet is both grounded and incredibly driven.   Not by fame or personal accolades but by a desire to help those less fortunate than he.  So kick back, relax and enjoy some hard won wisdom and a little nostalgia from a guy who essentially grew up in front of our eyes.

As always we would like to thank the people who support us:
