Here we conquer the darkness within us by bringing it to the light. At Conquer the Silence is it our goal to bridge the gap between those who feel silenced and their loved ones. We do so through this podcast by discussing topics such as mental illness that bring people pain. Through brief interviews we find out why the issue at hand makes the interviewee feel silenced and what could be done to change things.

Former professional sportsman Joe Williams shares his struggles with mental illness and reveals what has helped him survive and thrive. Former NRL player, world boxing title holder and proud Wiradjuri First Nations man Joe Williams was always plagued by negative dialogue in his head, and the pressures of elite sport took their toll.

In the aftermath, determined to rebuild, Joe took up professional boxing and got clean. Defying the Enemy Within is both Joe's story and the steps he took to get well.
