Season 1, Episode 3: Aaron Thomas
Description
Married with 3 gorgeous girls, educated and ambitious, a go-getter in the dairy industry who splashed the pages of the Weekly Times and was nominated for Farmer of the Year - at 31 Aaron appeared to have the world at his feet. He's handsome, articulate, generous - the loveable local-bloke-done-good.
So how did Aaron end up in the farm shed with a loaded gun in his mouth ready to end it?
About the only thing more spectacular than the coming to light of Aaron's demons, is the fashion in which this bloke has rebuilt his life.
In the engaging interview with Aaron, we cover losing a parent to cancer, functional alcoholism, imposter syndrome, shame in the public light, and marriage break down; before we rebuild through amicable co-parenting, mental health advocacy and riding across the state to kick cancer's arse.
It was a privilege to interview Aaron, and you need to hear his story.
