Bite size: Eric Murray talks about his friend, the late Olivia Podmore

In August last year one of Erics best friends took her own life. Olivia Podmore was just 24. Her and Eric had spent the weekend in Queenstown then returned home to Cambridge together, visitng her mum on the way.

He was the last person to see her alive and one of the first people to find her after she lost her battle with mental illness.

Her final Instagram post detailed her frustrations with high perfornace sport in New Zealand.

In this bite size clip taken from Erics podcast conversation we chat openly about mental health, their friendship, their final weekend together and his thoughts now with the benefit of 9 months of hindsight.

Its not an easy listen! But talk about this stuff can lead to change, and change is what we need.
