    In this first episode of What Makes You Tick with Thommo, I sit down with Nathan Fell for a relaxed conversation over a couple of Guinness while we dig back through some of the moments that shaped him.


    Nathan talks about growing up in the Blue Mountains until he was about nine years old before a massive life shift saw his family move out to Broken Hill — a change that felt like stepping into a completely different world.


    We also get into his childhood trips to England, visiting family several times while growing up. Those visits came with the bittersweet memories many people know too well — being told, “This might be the last time you see your grandma, make sure you say goodbye.” Moments that stick with you long after you’re a kid.


    Nathan and I also find common ground in something a lot of people underestimate: pushing trolleys as a job when we were younger. What seems like a basic job on the surface actually has its own hidden logistics, strategies, and stories — and we chew the fat about what really goes on behind the scenes.


    We round it out talking about travelling overseas, living the simple philosophy of holidaying until the money runs out, and the experiences that come with that kind of freedom.


    It’s an easygoing yarn about growing up, moving towns, working simple jobs that teach real lessons, and seeing the world when you get the chance.
