Daniel is a former Australian Army soldier who dedicated 16 years to service and now champions veterans' successful transition into civilian life, notably as the Chair of Trojan's Trek and Director of Operations at Go2 Health. Our conversation explores his profound personal journey, starting from intense early deployments and sustaining a severe spinal injury that forced him to change his military path.

Daniel's story is one of resilience and self-discovery, from fighting to stay in the Army and reinventing his career, to confronting dramatic life events that led him to a crucial moment of self-reflection.

This chat goes to all sorts of places, from retracing history on the demanding Kokoda Track trek—which was a huge success, raising more than $100,000 for Trojan's Trek —to diving into a topic Rosie's long wanted to explore: micro-dosing and psilocybin.

Daniel openly shares his powerful five-part psychedelic journey, detailing how it brought him a deeper connection with his family and ultimately helped him achieve an 'ego death'.

This episode is packed with deep connections, lightbulb moments, and the beautiful philosophy that while "life has to be lived forward," we "only understand it in reverse". You'll gain both wisdom and inspiration from his amazing story!
