For anyone that doesn’t know, Ollie’s best friend, Ali Turpie had a stroke on the 10th December that left Ali without any words. Not even his own name. And now, we’re left speechless because Ali - in under 6 months - has defied science and every doctors prediction in his recovery. Ali has learned to speak again. Despite being told it was going to be nearly impossible for him to speak again. He and his loved ones have been through some of the darkest dog days they’ll have to face but it’s Ali’s spirit, belief in himself and view on the world that’s got him to the point that we’re talking on a podcast together. And we think there’s a lot for all of us to learn from because of that. We hope you ENJOY this one. Its powerful, special and deep...THE DOG DAYS x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
