This conversation is with a lady who has seen a lot, done a lot, and had a lot happen to her. I've known her for nearly 30 years, and she has definitely lived a wild rollercoaster of a life; a life of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
She chats to me about her sexual abuse at the hands of her older brother, her days as a Penthouse Magazine centrefold and the rockstars she dated as a result, as well as the time she spent two weeks inside of a crowded Greek jail.
She acknowledges that her life has been a series of one in a million type of events, both good and bad - and we chat about some of them, but these will only give you a glimpse into the extraordinary situations she has found herself in.
A loving mum to a 21 year old son she raised by herself, she is a spiritual lady who has spent a lot of time delving into self awareness. She now lives a life somewhat quieter than that of her youth. However, the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll theme continues as she deals with her staff and clients as madam of a brothel.

In this episode of The Bald & The Beautiful, I sit down with a young man who is at the top of his game. A professional boxer undefeated in 13 fights, with 10 of those victories coming by way of knockout.
He is a walking canvas, with tattoos covering a good percentage of his body, including his head. He is flamboyant, choosing to enter the ring dancing through the crowd wearing a large pink feather boa, long pink socks, pink gloves, pink on his shorts......and sometimes a pink mullet!
This kid has a big smile, and a great energy about him. He loves what he does, and it has its rewards - the Queensland State Title, Australian National Title and 3 International Titles to his name, and there is more to come no doubt.
I've had the privilege of sitting ringside and watching this guy do his magic. It's beautiful to see. But what is even more beautiful to me is the strong relationship between him and his coach, who happens to be his dad. He tells me his dad is his inspiration and friend, and how at one stage his dad banished him to Thailand to train in order to shake him from some of the bad choices he was making while living on the Gold Coast.

Medicinal Cannabis and its active ingredients of THC and CBD are now widely being recognised as a way to treat a variety of illnesses. But there is still much resistance to the miracle plant that has been shown to bring so much relief to so many people.
Nicholas Morley is at the forefront of providing quality organic cannabis oil to those in need. He has helped the elderly, young children and even animals gain a better quality of life through the use of medicinal cannabis.
He is a former celebrity hairdresser and fashion designer behind the popular Buddhist Punk label that was worn by everyone from Supermodels to Rock Stars. He was also once a heroin addict who clinically died....twice. But he gets his highs these days from having a good surf, and assisting those requiring a product that is not readily available through conventional channels.
He released a documentary last year called Greenlight, which will give you some more insight into the amazing work that he and his partner have been doing with people struggling to get a better result for their sick loved ones.

We’ve all seen the movies where elite soldiers are in training and being pushed to their limits to be prepared……for anything. They are tough. But former Australian Special Forces Commando, Rhys Dowden, says its not just about being physically tough.
After tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, this Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt has taken what he has learned and is now helping others improve their physical, mental and emotional toughness.
Husband and dad of two young children, Rhys recently decided to take up marathon running and is soon to tackle his first Ultra Marathon (it's just like a marathon only a hell of a lot longer). He says it's all about mindset.
So Dave Eller caught up with Rhys at his Northern Rivers home to discuss mindset, stress, PTSD, resilience and emotional intelligence.
To get yourself to the next level, get a hold of Rhys....
