We are all collectors by nature, holding onto things that are important to us throughout life. Some may have a deep significance, others might be trivial or reveal a hidden talent, but all have a special meaning behind or within them that reflect where we have been, who we are now and who we will become. This is the essence of TWO AM I – an adventure of stories, told through the lens of two personal items.  Each episode hosts Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry chat to extraordinary people about their two special items, their climb of the mountain – and the ups and downs of life – to learn how those moments have shaped who each person really is. Why TWO AM I? Two hosts: a shared experience. One guest: and their two special items. TWO AM I – Who AM I: honest and real conversations about the big questions in life. Listen Curiously.

    ‘Generous, patient and tenacious’ are the three words Des Flanagan says sum him up and always have.

In his first lead role in a mainstage show, Des spent two years and 10 months playing the lead male protagonist Christian 657 times. His love for the stage began with little concerts with his siblings curated for their parents, until Des realised that family fun was to become his destiny. What followed was years of study at the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts, beginning his career in musical theatre.

    When Peggy O’Neal AO emigrated from the United States to Australia in 1991, she had no idea she was about to fall in love with a community and a game that would shape her new life. Perhaps it was fate that she moved to Richmond in Melbourne’s east, donned the local team’s footy jumper, and learnt about footy tipping – all moments that would eventually lead her to become the first woman in AFL history to serve as a club president at the Richmond Tigers. Peggy, who is a superannuation and financial lawyer, broke that glass ceiling but admits there is much more to do and says being deliberate in striving for gender equality in leadership is always front of mind. While sport is one of her passions, education is another – values instilled in her by her parents when she was a child – and she now gives back as Chancellor of RMIT University, and you heard it here first, Peggy is writing a children’s book!

But it was a gap year in America, a life changing trip to India and some honest words from a very good friend that set her on the path to create Womn-Kind – a female-led youth mental health organisation on a mission to close the gap in effective mental health education and support for Australian girls. Not only has she grown a small empire and helped thousands of young people, but on her journey she has cut through the noise to become the truest version of herself.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   REMINDER: If this episode has raised any issues for you, in Australia you can contact Lifeline by phone on 13 11 14 (24/7); Lifeline via text on 0477 13 11 14 (24/7); Suicide Callback Service 1300 659 467.   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Ruby Riethmuller.   To learn more about Ruby: Ruby on Instagram Ruby on LinkedIn Ruby in the news   Links from this episode: Womn-Kind website Womn-Kind on Instagram Womn-Kind on Facebook Womn-Kind App   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 4: Andrew Abdo   It wasn't on Andrew Abdo's radar to become the CEO of the National Rugby League (NRL). But standing at a bus stop, in the rain became a seminal moment that set him on the path to now. Andrew grew up in a small coastal town in apartheid South Africa, and at a young age he lost his brother Antony in a motorbike accident, an incredibly difficult time that he says helped shape his view on life and the importance of living in the now. He also credits Nelson Mandela as having the biggest impact on his life outside of someone he met in person, and the sense of justice and fairness he gained from watching his country's rebirth during that time. And while Andrew admits he's not one to speak publicly about his private life, he opens up in this episode about all this, and more.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Andrew Abdo.   To learn more about Andrew: Andrew on LinkedIn Andrew Abdo NRL CEO   Links from this episode: Belonging: The Ancient Code of Togetherness – Owen Eastwood National Rugby League Nelson Mandela   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
