Cross-post from The Connections
Sharing the latest episode of the other podcast that I produce, as I think it will really resonate with many of you. This conversation touches on the themes of the Marcelo Gleiser episode that I had previously shared, as well as some of the anti-capitalist ideas I tend to write about. Essentially, we only heal through community and through remembering our collective past. It's a powerful message and worth a listen! -

Welcome to another episode of our podcast Abolition, Liberation, Solidarity, A Here4TheKids Production.

Today,

Jo Lorenz
interviews Joe Williams, a Wiradjuri/Wolgalu First Nations Aboriginal man from Australia. 

Joe began his career as a professional rugby player and boxer.

Although forging a successful professional sporting career, Joe battled the majority of his life with mental health challenges. Along the way, Joe felt his purpose was to help people who struggled with similar obstacles. He founded The Enemy Within, a mental health & wellbeing organization.

In this conversation, Joe will discuss how all Indigenous struggles around the world are connected, plus he describes how a reconnection with the Earth and a deep presence is the antidote to so many of the problems with our modern world.

Joe’s autobiography is Defying The Enemy Within. Please make sure to follow him on Facebook and X.
