While managing a tough diagnosis, Vaughn reflects on personal growth, resilience, and the connection to fishing through his local fly fishing club.

He shares how time on the water and the camaraderie of the club have shaped his values, his purpose in life, and grounded him through challenges.

It’s an honest, reflective conversation about community, perspective, and finding clarity outdoors.

In this episode we sit down with Dr. Leo Guida from the Australian Marine Conservation Society for a long, open conversation about sharks, how they intersect with fishing and people using our waterways, and the real risks involved.

We talk through the data and trends, and importantly how effective current management strategies actually are when humans and sharks share the same spaces.

It is not a debate, more a pub-style back and forth, asking honest questions and digging into a topic I am genuinely on the fence about and keen to understand better.
