Episode 48 – Tim McKee (Part 2) | Standards, Service & Second Chances In Part 2 of the Tim McKee story, the conversation moves beyond career and into the deeper question of why some people choose a life of service. Tim McKee isn’t a man who chased recognition. He simply kept showing up. For decades, Tim has quietly helped shape the Townsville community through law, mentorship, Rotary, Apex, and countless acts of service that changed lives behind the scenes. In this episode we talk about: • The real meaning behind service to community • The Rotary projects that changed the lives of families with disabled children • Raising over $120,000 for the Red Cross Emergency Accommodation Centre • The moment Tim received the Order of Australia – and why humility still defines him • Mentoring the next generation of young lawyers • Leadership lessons from mentors and life experience • Why character matters more than reputation • The simple acts of kindness that can change someone’s day – or even save a life This conversation also explores deeper themes around mental health, resilience, and the importance of looking after one another. As Tim says in this episode: "Don't ever think your little bit isn't enough… it all helps." Tim McKee represents a kind of leadership we don’t hear about enough — steady, humble, and deeply committed to helping others succeed. A life of standards, service, and significance.

Episode 49 – Rick White (Part 1) Front Porch America | Different Countries. Same Mission. It’s 1:00am in Australia. Morning in Kentucky. Different hemispheres — same belief. In Part 1 of this powerful international crossover, Buzz sits down with Rick White, founder of Front Porch America, a podcast built on one simple idea: people deserve to be heard. Rick didn’t start with a blueprint. No production team. No grand strategy. Just a microphone, a servant’s heart, and a desire to create space for real stories. From his life as a firefighter and emergency responder… To viral TikTok videos that unexpectedly opened doors… To building a studio from a spare bedroom… Rick shares how Front Porch America evolved from silly skits into meaningful conversations that are helping people reconnect in a divided world. Buzz opens up about facing kidney failure and being given 24 hours to live — and how that moment sparked the creation of Who Is Your Hero. Together they unpack: • The lost art of front porch and campfire conversations • Why modern society feels disconnected • The power of simply listening • Faith, masculinity, and resilience • Media division in both the U.S. and Australia • Why staying “another day” can change everything This episode isn’t political. It isn’t confrontational. It’s honest. It’s raw. It’s two men from opposite sides of the world discovering they’re fighting the same fight. Part 1 sets the foundation. Part 2 goes deeper. If you believe stories matter — this one’s for you. 🎙 Front Porch America x Who Is Your Hero 🌎 USA + AUS 🔥 Real Conversations. One Mission.

Episode 48 – Tim McKee (Part 1) Standards, Service & Second Chances Some men are forged quietly. Not by spotlight. Not by applause. But by responsibility. In this powerful Part 1 conversation, Buzz sits down with Townsville’s own Tim McKee — not to talk about titles, but to uncover the foundations behind a life built on service, standards, and duty. From a young boy learning gratitude from his father… To watching his aunt build hospitals in India and give her life to others… To driving trucks while studying law… To losing his job during the slump and landing in Townsville in 1983… To the defining moment in 1996 when his mentor passed away and Tim picked up 150 unknown client files — and simply got on with it. No drama. No ego. No quitting. This episode explores: • The power of perspective and gratitude • Old-school parenting, respect, and responsibility • Why failure “never computed” • The importance of mentoring young people properly • Coaching kids when no one else would step up • The creed he learned from the Salvos: “Heart to God, Hand to Man.” • What it really means to just “do it” when life hands you weight This is not a hype episode. It’s a foundation episode. Because before legacy… before recognition… before an Order of Australia… there were standards formed in quiet moments and decisions made when no one was watching. If you’re feeling pressure right now… If you’re carrying more than you think you can… If you’re wondering whether to quit… Listen closely. Part 2 drops soon — where we dive into Tim’s community impact, giving back, his WHY, and the journey that led to national recognition. 🎙 Hosted by Matthew “Buzz” Fidler 🎧 Who Is Your Hero Podcast If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs a reminder that real heroes don’t chase applause — they just keep turning up. #WhoIsYourHero #HeroUp #StandardsMatter #Townsville #RealTalk #Community #Leadership #Service #MensMentalHealth #Resilience #TribeVsSystem #HeartToGodHandToMan

Episode 47: Roland Allbrook — Ink Across Empires (Part 2) Who Is Your Hero with Buzz (Matthew Fidler) Welcome back legends — this is Part 2 of my sit-down with Roland Allbrook, and I’m telling you now… this one goes deeper. Roland’s memoir “Ink Across Empires” isn’t a victory lap. It’s not nostalgia. It’s not propaganda. It’s a raw, honest reflection on empire, identity, power, culture, youth, ego… and what happens when life forces you to look back and tell the truth without polishing the edges. In this episode we kick off with a question that hits like a brick: “Do you think there are things happening today that our grandchildren will judge us for?” From there, we unpack big themes and real lived experience — including: Elites and power: do they ever really change, or just change outfits? Fear and propaganda around independence movements Papua New Guinea: the truth about the transition, expat anxiety, and why “the storm” never came Respect, culture, and identity — including a conversation with Roland’s daughter that’ll make you think Youth and recklessness: the 70s, the bravado, and the moments that expose the real compass underneath Age, adaptation, and perspective: how the body changes the way the mind negotiates life And a powerful reminder that sometimes… it’s not the place you’re in — it’s where your head’s at This isn’t a “pick a side” episode. It’s a human episode — messy, honest, funny in parts, heavy in others, and full of the kind of perspective you only get after living a life properly. And here’s the best part… This story isn’t finished. Not even close. There are more chapters, more extracts, more yarns — and I’ve got a feeling Roland might become one of those guests we bring back again and again, because the memories are that intriguing and the conversations go wherever they need to go. 🎧 Hit play on Part 2 now — and if this stirred something in you, share it with a mate who needs a reminder that life can be bloody wild… and still worth living. More parts coming soon. Stay tuned. #WhoIsYourHero #HeroUp #BuzzTalk #InkAcrossEmpires #RolandAllbrook #PNGStories #RealTalk #LifeStories #Memoirs #Resilience #Perspective #PodcastAustralia #Townsville #Cairns #Storytelling

🎙️ Episode 47 – Roland Allbrook (Part 1) Empire, Boarding School & The Blindfolded Boy This episode is different. No hype. No outrage clips. No culture-war bait. Just a manuscript. In Episode 47 (Part 1), I sit down with Roland Allbrook — a man I first met in West New Britain, Papua New Guinea, between Kimbe and Rabaul. We were both teaching there between 2017 and 2020. I was teaching construction. Roland was teaching literature. At night, over a few “Scooby Doos” in the PNG humidity, the stories would start. Kenya Highlands. Missionary boarding schools. Union Jacks raised at sunrise. Bamboo canes. Prefects with power. Colonial tension bubbling beneath the surface. Eventually, those conversations became a manuscript — seventy years of memory pressed into ink. Not polished. Not rewritten to make himself the hero. Just honest. This episode opens that manuscript for the first time. 🇰🇪 Growing Up in Colonial Kenya Roland was raised in the Kenya Highlands during the tail end of the Mau Mau uprising — a violent and brutal period in British colonial history. As boys, they played rugby, chanted “Tummy, do your job” each morning, polished prefect shoes and followed rigid ritual. What they didn’t see? The violence happening around them. The displacement. The killings. The system they were inside. That’s the confronting part. Not evil children. Not conscious cruelty. But blindness. Empire survives on ritual. On repetition. On belief. And young boys rarely question the system they’re born into. 🏫 Discipline or Ritualised Power? Roland describes corporal punishment that many would now label abuse: Six strokes for the crime. Six for lying about it. One for good measure. Shake the man’s hand. “Thank you, sir.” It wasn’t just discipline. It was performance. Power. Hierarchy. And yet — here’s the powerful twist: Roland never carried that forward. He never beat his own children. Never used violence as a teacher in Papua New Guinea. In fact, he rarely had discipline issues because students respected his style. That’s generational interruption. 🧭 Moral Courage One of the most striking elements of this story is Roland’s father. In a deeply segregated colonial environment, his father quietly invited African leaders into their home. Treated them as equals. Acted with understated moral courage. For that, young Roland was labelled dangerous. Equality was threatening. Let that sink in. 🧠 Why This Matters Now This episode isn’t about attacking history. It’s about understanding it. We still live inside systems. We still inherit rituals. We still argue about migration, identity and belonging. Roland’s reflections force us to ask: • What shaped us? • What did we not see? • What have we chosen to interrupt? That’s the real question. 🔥 Part 2 Coming Soon This is only the foundation. Part 2 will go deeper into: • Colonial blindness • Cultural tension • Identity and migration • Moral courage in adulthood • And how those early years shaped the teacher, father and thinker Roland became And honestly? With seventy years of lived experience, this could easily become a monthly series. The memories are layered, confronting and incredibly intriguing. We’re just getting started. If this episode stirred something in you — share it. And if you’ve got stories sitting unwritten… start writing. One day, someone might open your manuscript too. 🎙️ Who Is Your Hero Hosted by Buzz Part 2 dropping soon.

Episode 46: Brady Gunn — Standing Alone What does real courage look like? Not the loud kind. Not the social media kind. Not the “I told you so” kind. The quiet kind. The kind where a man stands in a park… alone… for nearly three months… before anyone stands beside him. In Episode 46 of Who Is Your Hero, Buzz sits down with Brady Gunn — founder of Stand In The Park — for a conversation that goes far deeper than politics. This isn’t a COVID episode. It’s a character episode. Brady opens up about: • A childhood marked by rejection • Growing up with a sister with Down syndrome • Seven years of depression • Learning to quiet the mind (The Art of Shush) • Taming the nervous system and living by intuition • And what it really means to lead… without trying to be a leader They talk about masculinity. They talk about presence over protest. They talk about standing in your truth when it costs you. And they explore something many people are quietly wrestling with: What happens when you realise you stopped being yourself somewhere along the way? Brady shares the raw story behind the first Stand In The Park — when he showed up every Sunday, alone, trusting his intuition — until eventually thousands joined across 30+ countries. No megaphones. No hierarchy. No agenda. Just people remembering who they are. If you’ve felt disconnected… If you’ve felt like the world shifted and something inside you shifted too… If you’ve been trying to find your spine again… This conversation will hit you. You can find Brady’s books on Amazon or via BradyGunn.com, and locations for Stand In The Park (first Sunday of each month, 10–11am) at StandInThePark.org. As always — if this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs it. Because sometimes the most heroic thing you can do… …is simply stand. — 🎙 Who Is Your Hero Hosted by Buzz Available on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Spreaker If you’d like to support the podcast and help us keep these conversations alive: Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/whoisyourhero GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/a6e40c460

Rock Bottom to Real Talk: Dane Miller (Part 2) — Pottsville Part 2 hits different, legends… this is where the story gets raw and a bit teary. Dane takes us back to the years after moving to Melbourne — the loneliness, the chronic depression he didn’t even recognise at first (sleeping 18 hours a day and thinking he was physically dying), and the way quick labels and quick fixes can numb a bloke instead of truly helping him heal. Then we get into the slippery slope: weekends, pubs, coke… and then the moment ice shows up — and how fast it goes from “sometimes” to “every day” and starts taking everything… money, relationships, identity… until Dane disappears for five years and his family doesn’t even know if he’s alive. And then comes the rock-bottom moment on a rooftop carpark in Chapel Street… hungry, homeless, carrying everything he owns in bags… and a strange “guardian angel” moment he still can’t explain. What saves him isn’t some Hollywood miracle — it’s one person. His mum. No judgement. No pressure. Just belief. A door left open. A second chance. We talk: Depression, identity, and the danger of being “labelled” Addiction creeping in quietly… then taking over Rock bottom, homelessness, and the moment you realise you can’t keep going The power of one person believing in you Cold turkey recovery, rebuilding life, and finding peace through fishing, health, and purpose Real strength, self-worth, and what being a hero actually means If you’ve ever felt lost… or you love someone who is… this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now — and if this hit home, share it with a mate who needs to hear it. #WhoIsYourHero #HeroUp #RealTalk #MensMentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #DepressionAwareness #SecondChances #Pottsville #SupportTheSupporters #Resilience #AussieStories ☕ Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/whoisyourhero ❤️ GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/a6e40c460

Rock Bottom to Real Talk: Dane Miller (Part 1) When Drift Turns Into Decision There’s a moment in every man’s life where he either keeps drifting… or draws a line in the sand. Episode 45 of Who Is Your Hero isn’t about success. It’s about survival. It’s about how easy it is to lose direction when you’re young, adapting, trying to fit in, trying to belong — and sometimes rebelling against systems you don’t fully understand yet. And it’s about what happens when life starts looking like a dead end. From Byron Bay Roof Sheets to Pottsville Yarns I first met Dane Miller on the tools in Byron Bay. Roof sheets. Hard work. No pre-judgement. A mutual mate said, “Give this bloke a go.” That simple act — giving someone a go — is something we’ve lost a bit of in modern Australia. Later, life rolled on. I found myself in Pottsville, trying to get my own health back on track. Dane was working at a local bait and tackle shop. And what started as a quick stop-in turned into daily conversations. Out the front of that shop, people from all walks of life would stop and talk. Proper talk. No filters. No masks. Just real conversations about life, responsibility, resilience and truth. That’s where this episode lives. Rock Bottom: Bury You or Build You? In Part 1, we unpack the early foundations: Growing up moving towns and adapting constantly Bullying and the moment you decide to stand up Identity, belonging and rebellion The difference between comfort and complacency Why responsibility is power How hitting zero can reset your perspective There’s no victim narrative here. Dane owns his choices. He doesn’t blame the world. He doesn’t glorify bad decisions. He talks honestly about what it means to rebuild your worth before you rebuild your wealth. And that’s a message many people need to hear. Because here’s the truth: If your health isn’t right, you can’t help anyone. If your worth is broken, you’ll chase the wrong things. If you don’t find your why, you’ll drift again. Rock bottom can either bury you… or build you. The Bigger Conversation This episode also touches on themes that don’t get spoken about enough: Standing up for yourself. The danger of staying too comfortable. How judgement kills growth. Why some lessons only come through discomfort. It’s raw. It’s unscripted. And it’s only Part 1. Part 2 — Coming Soon In Part 2, we go deeper: The Melbourne chapter. The addiction spiral. The real turning points. And the reset that changed everything. If Part 1 is the foundation… Part 2 is where it gets real.

🐎 Episode 44 – Horses Don’t Lie (Part 2) Pause. Breath. Freedom. Part 2 of this conversation goes somewhere different. If Part 1 was about survival — anxiety, addiction, and the weight people carry quietly — Part 2 is about what comes after. What happens when you stop pushing, stop forcing, and finally learn to pause. In this episode, Buzz and Kim Daley explore freedom — not the loud, flashy kind, but the calm that comes from self-regulation, awareness, and letting go of the need to control everything. Kim speaks openly about: Surrender versus forcing outcomes Health before wealth — and why getting the order wrong costs everything Minimalism, freedom, and choosing enough Why horses don’t need to be “fixed” — and neither do people The power of pause, breath, and nervous system regulation Leadership without dominance Why horses are mirrors — not tools And how service, presence, and emotional intelligence raise consciousness more than success ever will This conversation also touches on equine therapy, meditation, breathwork, and why nature strips away the masks we’ve learned to wear in modern life. Horses don’t respond to pressure. They don’t care about status or story. They respond to authenticity, calm, and consistency. And so does life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’re constantly white-knuckling your way through — this episode offers something rare: permission to slow down. 🎧 Episode 44 – Horses Don’t Lie (Part 2) Available now on Podbean, Spotify & Apple Podcasts. 📌 Who Is Your Hero — real stories, real lessons, no bullshit.

🐎 Episode 44 – Horses Don’t Lie (Part 1) Some lessons don’t come from words. They come from presence. In this episode of Who Is Your Hero, Buzz sits down with Kim Daley for a raw, unscripted conversation about horses, humans, and the things we carry beneath the surface. Horses don’t respond to ego, pressure, or performance. They respond to who you are when everything else is stripped away. This episode goes deep into awareness, anxiety, addiction, self-worth, and why the horse is so often just the mirror. If you’ve ever felt stuck, reactive, or disconnected — this conversation will land. 🎧 Press play when you’re ready to slow down.

In Episode 43, Part 3, Paul Fidler takes us from teenage DJing and record-shop life to a 30-year career behind the mic, where he created the on-air alter ego Jim Morrison and helped shape playlists across regional Australia. The episode explores music programming, the shift from local stations to networked shows, the responsibility of influencing daily soundtracks, and how love for music and community kept him going through an industry in flux.

A candid family conversation between cousins exploring their grandfather's wartime return, how toughness, humour and silence were passed down, and the everyday stories that bind a family. They mix laughter and honesty while discussing aging fathers, music, pranks and the realities of health—especially the importance of blood tests, blood pressure checks and mental wellbeing. This episode is a warm, honest reminder to check on loved ones and to book those long‑avoided GP appointments. Part three will continue into Paul Fiddler's radio years.

Two cousins sit down to talk family, upbringing and the hidden costs of a life behind the radio mic. They trace how mothers, fathers and childhood shaped a man who spent decades shaping the sound of regional Australia. This episode explores memory, responsibility and identity — from Sunday lunches and Johnny's story to the roots that forged a gatekeeper of music and culture. Part two will dive deeper into the fathers, war and work that followed.

Host Buzz sits down with Sam Childers, the Machine Gun Preacher, to hear his raw testimony: a violent past, a radical conversion, and nearly three decades rescuing and protecting children in Uganda through schools, trade training, wells and daily feeding programs. This episode highlights Sam’s faith-driven obedience, the challenges he’s faced with governments and personal loss, and the new documentary MGP Never Stop — a call to support real, on-the-ground impact.

Episode 41, is a prelude with Greg Mackay about Sam Childers — the man known as the "machine gun preacher." Greg shares lived experiences, showing how Sam's faith, sacrifice and action changed his life and inspired real, ongoing work to protect children. This short episode focuses on impact over controversy, personal stories of mentorship and courage, and sets up the full interview with Sam Childers coming next. It highlights the work on the ground and points listeners toward the documentary MGP Never Stop and ways to support the mission.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE DROPPED Episode 40 | Sunday Sessions with Buzz & Gypsy “The Truth Hits Harder Than Tinsel” This one isn’t comfortable — and it was never meant to be. We’re not cancelling Christmas. We’re not anti-kids. We’re not anti-joy. We are questioning one of the biggest stories we’re told never to question. In this episode, Buzz and Gypsy unpack: • The Santa myth — and why adults get more defensive than kids • Reward, obedience, comparison and shame systems • Why poor kids and single parents carry the real cost of Christmas • Consumerism, debt, January anxiety and silent pressure • Truth vs innocence — and where the line really sits • How early conditioning shapes how we obey systems later in life It’s raw. It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s honest. You don’t have to agree — but if this episode makes you think, we’ve done our job. 🎧 Listen now on Podbean and all major platforms.

Episode 39 – Part 2: Strength & Softness The School That Said: “Nah… We’re Doing This Properly.” G’day tribe — Buzz here. This one’s a ripper… and I’m not saying that because I’m biased (I am), I’m saying it because Melissa Thomson is the real deal. In Episode 39 (Part 2), we yarn with Melissa from Agnes Water — and we kick off with something genuinely hero-level: she helped bring a real school to life. Not a theory. Not a rant. Not a “someone should do something” post. A proper independent Steiner school, government funded, on the beach, that started with 2 teachers and 8 kids… and has grown into 11 staff, 70 kids, and a waiting list. And the wild part? It’s built on the radical concept that kids should be… wait for it… kids. Less screens. More handwriting. More stories. More imagination. More nature. More movement. More joy. We also get into the deeper stuff — strength & softness, hustle culture, burnout, masculine/feminine balance, why modern life can leave people feeling disconnected, and how community (real community) changes everything. If you’re a parent, teacher, bloke, woman, business owner, or just someone who’s felt the world go a bit sideways… this episode will hit. And to everyone who’s been backing this show — thank you. We’ve now cracked 65,000+ downloads, which still blows my mind because I started this thing to have honest conversations… and apparently a lot of you legends are into that (good taste). 🎧 Hit play, share it with a mate, and let’s keep building a tribe that thinks, feels, and lives a bit more real.

The last chapter of a 4-part series that turned into something way bigger than a normal interview. In Episode 38 — Part 4, Shuey and I go straight into the stuff most blokes avoid: ✅ why men still struggle to talk about hardship ✅ why doctors label people too fast ✅ why fear is real… but it doesn’t get to own you ✅ why we need mates who tell us the truth (not just “you’re amazing” while you’re falling apart) ✅ why “never let your mate down” is the missing ingredient in modern Australia Shuey opens up about fear, leadership, and the kind of toughness that isn’t loud — it’s consistent. And I share the raw truth of getting told my kidneys were basically done… and why mindset is the only weapon you’ve got when life hits you with a sledgehammer.

Podbean Blog Post — Episode 38 (Part 3) The Schuey Story: Standards, Respect & Raising Young Men Welcome back, tribe — Buzz here — and this is Episode 38: Part 3 of The Schuey Story with Steve “Schuey” Schuman. If Part 1 and Part 2 were the foundation — the medals, the military, the hard-earned discipline — Part 3 is the real battlefield… the one happening right now in Aussie homes, schools, clubs, and communities: How we raise young men. How we keep families connected. How we bring back standards, respect, and proper role models. This episode kicks off exactly where we left it — with one simple question: Did your parents’ friends influence the man you became? Schuey doesn’t hesitate. He takes us back to a time when your first mates were your cousins, your teachers were your uncles, and a young bloke wasn’t raised by one man — he was raised by the tribe. What we cover in Part 3 This one gets real, fast — and it’s full of laughs, truth bombs, and proper old-school values: Why families feel more distant than they used to — and what that’s doing to kids The difference between “masculinity” and being a grub Why respect matters: sir, mister, please, thank you — the basics that build character How clubs and sport used to shape young blokes — and why that matters more than ever Why the world is feeding kids adult chaos 24/7 through screens and notifications Why parents are time-poor, burnt out, and trying to do it all with no real tools The power of a simple line from an older bloke: “I’ve got your back.” And yes… there’s footy talk, golf club culture, and a bit of Buzz & Schuey chaos that’ll have you laughing out loud. Who this episode is for If you’re any of these people — this one’s for you: A young bloke needing direction A parent wondering what the hell happened to manners and respect An older bloke who wants to be a better mentor Anyone who’s sick of the noise and wants real conversation about standards, tribe, and leadership This is the kind of episode that might ruffle feathers… but it might also help a lot of people. Part 4 — The Final Chapter And listen closely, tribe… Part 4 is the last episode of The Schuey Story. The final chapter. The big wrap-up. The legacy piece. If Part 3 lit the fire — Part 4 brings it home. So share this with a mate, drop it in the group chat, and keep your eyes open — because when Part 4 lands… it’s the closing whistle. Your turn, tribe If this episode hit you — message me and tell me what part landed hardest: The respect stuff? The father/mentor/club culture? The “I’ve got your back” line? The truth about kids being raised by screens? I read it all. And I’m building this show for the people who need it. Hero up. Lift the standard. Back your mates.
