Kevin Porter’s story is the epitome of resilience, courage, determination and true grit.

This episode examines what it takes to fight to live. Kevin is a research and design anthropologist, providing intelligence to companies to deliver insightful solutions to common and uncommon business problems. He served in the military from the age of 15 to 21yo. and was a stay at home dad for 14 years. He says his two sons are what kept him alive.

We talk of many life themes including mental, emotional and physical abuse, bullying, depression, PTSD, anger, violence and self discipline.

Learn from a man who shares how he learnt to rise from the depths of depression and despair to realise the importance of honesty, team work, integrity, gratitude and respect. Kevin believes life is a verb – it’s not a passive act. He now describes himself as a positive mosaic with a fight to live.

Tune in, open your mind and heart, and be inspired.
