#049 - He Shot a Man to Protect His Family

Matty and Rob sit down with OG BA legend Hadyn, a bloke with one hell of a story. At just 19, he found himself in a life-or-death situation while working in his parents’ jewellery store, an experience that shaped him in ways most people will never understand.

But that’s just the start. Hadyn gets real about the tough stuff, relationships, parenting, and the brutal truth that life isn’t some fairytale. The boys dig into the highs, the lows, and the lessons that turn ordinary blokes into better men.

This one’s got it all, resilience, community, and the kind of raw, unfiltered convo that hits home. Tune in, you won’t want to miss it.
