S1E29 Unwanted Progression
Om denne podkasten
When Gary learned his childhood mate and business partner, Chris, was diagnosed with brain cancer, he hit record to capture Chris’s wit, wisdom, and unique perspective on life. A tradesman with a philosophical twist, Chris turns everyday moments into powerful life lessons. Join these two Gen X blokes as they navigate life, love, and the big questions with humour, heart, and plenty of banter. Rocket Surgery is philosophy for people—real, raw, and full of laughs.
